NovelEnglishChapter 0458 Damien steps out of the house with a scarf partially covering his face, the remnants of smoke littered the remainder of his face.
"I thought you might be with Dorothy?" He pulls the scarf from the bottom half of his face. "Athena picked her up seeing as her biological father has walked away." His annoyance, evident. I understood why he was pissed. I couldn't imagine walking away from my boys.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDamien looks back to the house. "I'm sorry." He mutters "Everyone is alive, that's what counts." "Do you know who did this?" "Yes, and I still can't quite believe it." He raises a brow at me.
"Kade." "As in the kid who attacked Dottie? That little shit?" "Yes and I'm about to go and tell his father." "I don't agree on many things with Brax, but that kid needed his ass whooping a long tago." *The problem is, he has now done a runner." Ryken looks aroundwhen he opens the door. Clearly expecting to see his little bastard of a son. "You're alone?" "We need to have a conversation about Kade?" "Was he hurt in the explosion? I would know if he was, right?" "It's more serious than that. Maybe it's a good idea if I cin." He stands back to letin the house. I see Blair sitting at the table playing a gwith Ryken's youngest son. Her brown eyes momentarily pause onbefore continuing the game.
*Calihan, Blair, can you go to your rooms please." Ryken requests *Actually, Blair can stay. She might be useful." There's a brief flicker of fear, and she does her best to hide it. Which isn't very well at all.
*Is Tara about?" I ask. Kade's mother needed to know what her son was capable of.
*She's gone into the city with a couple of others and taken the baby with her." Ryken tellsI wait until I hear Calihan ascend the stairs. "Then there is no easy way to say this. Kade was responsible for the explosion you heard." He stares back at me, his mouth opening and closing a few times. Disbelief, or shock, I wasn't sure. No one wants to hear that their kid is a little terror.
"You've put him in the dungeon? He is just a kid." *No. He blew up the packhouse and then took off. I have Damien and a few others looking for him." *He blew up the packhouse?" Blair asks. "Is everyone okay?" I was almost surprised that she was showing any interest in the welfare of others. "Yes, no one was hurt. Cooper gave him the ability to do it." *Cooper got to him?" "He told Neah that Cooper offered him a better life than living here. Made him a promise." "No." Ryken mutters. "No, you are wrong. He wouldn't do this and he wouldn't fall for that." "Ryken, you foundsleeping outside his room because I thought he was going to hurt someone while you all slept. You know something has been bothering him." Blair mutters.

Ryken sits on one of the wooden chairs at the table. His hands curl into fists. He slams one down on the wooden table, making Blair jump.
"Where would he go?" I ask "He is eight." Ryken protests "He doesn't have friends." Blair mutters. "He doesn't go anywhere but school or somewhere with Mum and Ryken." *He must have done at spoint else how would he have met Cooper?"
"I have to find him." Ryken frowns. "I have to bring him back and make him understand." He gets Onis-feet.
"Tara will lose herself if another child goes off the rails." I see the way he looks at Blair as he speaks.
"You won't find him." Blair murmurs, staring down at her hands on the table. "If Cooper promised to help Kade. He would be waiting for him. One of Cooper's big things, he doesn't break promises. He drummed that intoover and over." "You think Cooper would have been waiting for him?" Blair bobs her head. "Kade did the dirty work for him. Cooper will offer him a reward. A prize, something that Kade wants. It will make Kade feel like he did the right thing even though he knew it was wrong."
Her eyes flicker up to me. "Think about it. Contracts give you a sense of satisfaction, Dane and you offer something in Veturn. Protection.
Alliance. Whatever it is to suit you. It's probably the sfor Kade. A contract of sorts, only it doesn't truly favour my brother, but Cooper." X
