Clint straightened his posture, a sense of injustice washing over him.
He had assumed his brothers were executing their fathers commands, yet there was no sign of them on the surveillance feeds.
Having suggested a trip to the restroom to ease his discomfort from the injury, Clint was met with Lonnies sharp rebuke. In the meantime, Rhys temporarily slipped from their minds.
