his name. He glanced around frantically, trying to find the man. Quaid
would save him. He just had to hang on until the man arrived.
Come on, man, they re coming!
Reverend McCallister glared down at Matty. He looked
undecided. Stay and kill Matty or run? Finally, the reverend dropped
the meat clever on the floor. Pure hatred glowed in his eyes as he
glared down at Matty.
You are a blight against god, a disease, the reverend snarled.
You have corrupted others with your perversions, and you will pay
for it in hell. God will have his vengeance, boy.
Matty shuddered. Tears slid down his face as his father and the
other man ran out the door. He drew in a deep breath then quickly
scampered across the floor to Billy. The man looked like he had gone
ten rounds with a prize fighter and lost. He was a mass of bruises.
Billy, man, are you okay?
Billy cracked one eye open. Are they gone?
Matty nodded. Yeah, they took off out the door.
Fucking hate my family, Billy whispered.
Matty s eyebrows shot up. That was your father?
Yeah, he s just as bad as my brother, but at least this time he
only went after me. Clem tried to kill Lachlan and Asa then me and
Rourke.
Dude, you seriously need to marry Rourke and get the hell out of
your family. They re just as crazy as my father.
Billy chuckled then groaned, wrapping is arms around his
stomach. I want Rourke.
I ll get him. You just stay here and rest.
Matty started to stand up when Billy grabbed his arm. No, don t
leave me. They might come back.
Matty nodded and grabbed Billy s hand. Okay, I won t leave
you. I m just going to scoot over to the door and call for Rourke and
Quaid. I won t leave your sight.

Billy nodded and Matty slowly moved away, scooting himself
across the floor to the back door. As soon as he could see outside, he
cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted for Rourke and
Quaid.
Matty knew they would come running, so he crawled back over to
hover over Billy. The man looked ready to pass out. Hs face was pale
white, and his eyes were fluttering. He had a huge bump on his
forehead and Matty was afraid of him falling asleep.
Billy, you have to keep your eyes open. He shook Billy when
the man s eyes closed and didn t open again. Come on, man. Rourke
is coming. He s going to want to talk to you. Open your eyes.
Matty gritted his teeth and lightly smacked Billy across the face.
What the fuck are you doing?
Matty cried out as he was ripped away from Billy and thrown
back against the wall he had hit before. He was really starting to hate
walls. He expected to see his father standing in front of him. He didn t
expect an enraged Rourke.
What the hell did you do to him?
Me? Matty whimpered. It was hard not to when faced with six
foot three inches of angry male. I didn t do anything.
Matty, no, Billy whimpered, thrashing around. Rourke dropped
down to his knees and gathered Billy into his arms. Matty, he&
he&
Ssshhh, baby, it s okay, Rourke crooned softly. No one s going
to hurt you anymore.
But Matty, he& he& Billy stammered again.
Matty shrank back when Rourke turned to glare at him. Rourke
had the same angry look in his eyes that his father had. Matty
suddenly realized he was no longer safe in the one place that was
supposed to be safe. If Rourke got a hold of him, he wasn t sure he d
survive.
Matty pushed himself to his feet and started backing away. I
need to find Ruben.

Matty, let s just Quaid started.
Matty shook his head frantically. There was nothing Quaid could
say to change things. For a brief moment he had forgotten that no
place was safe. He had started to believe in the dream. He wouldn t
forget again.
Matty turned and sprinted out the door as fast as his legs would
carry him. He had to find Ruben, and the both of them had to get the
hell out of town before someone stopped them. Matty didn t know if
it would be the Blaecleahs or his father. He didn t care. Both
represented danger in his book.
Matty searched around until he spotted Ruben s light brown hair.
He was talking with the attorney Quaid had taken him to, Elijah
James. Matty ran up and grabbed Ruben s arm then started pulling
