talked to Griffin in five years, ” Gary said. “ And now I never will. ”
    He lowered his head and the gun.
    From the corner of his eye, Miller
saw Blaine down the ramp. He was ready to grab Gary by the ankles and pull,
sending the large man down to his face. Miller waved his hand, keeping Blaine away.
    Slowly, Miller reached and touched Gary ’ s shoulder.
    “ Hey,
I ’ m really fucking sorry. I
didn ’ t know Griffin had close family. I would have called. But we did it the right way for him. As a
family. Buried with other brothers. With kindness. With love. With a memory
that we will never let go. ”
    Gary turned his head. “ I hated him for being here. Our
parents were killed when he was just ten. I was thirteen. We ended up on the
street together. We ran and ran. Griffin got smarter and I got dumber. Last
time I saw him, we fought. I beat his face bloody, telling him I hated him. And
now he ’ s gone. ”
    “ You
believe in religion? ”
    “ No. ”
    “ What
do you believe in after death? ”
    “ I ’ m not dead, ” Gary said.
    Miller flickered a smile. “ You look like him. I never
thought I ’ d say this … but Griffin was skinnier. ”
    Gary laughed.
    The gun was relaxed in his hand.
    That ’ s
when Miller moved. He grabbed Gary ’ s
wrist and twisted it. He took the gun out of his hand. Blaine grabbed Gary ’ s ankles and pulled, sending him
toppling to the ground. The fat man burst into tears again and Miller stepped
on his back.
    “ You
think you can just come onto my lot and pull a stunt like this? ”
    “ No,
I ’ m sorry, ” Gary pleaded. “ I need to know. ”
    Blaine slid through the bottom railing.
    Miller waved and all the guys
collected around Griffin ’ s
brother. That ’ s when Miller
took his foot away. There was a dirt footprint on Gary ’ s shirt.
    “ I
just want to know how it all happened, ” Gary cried out.
    Miller crouched down. He looked up
at Blaine and gave a nod. Blaine grabbed Gary and lifted him like he weighed
nothing. He sat the large man on his ass.
    “ You
make a move and I ’ ll break
your neck, ” Blaine warned.
    “ I ’ ve had a bad fucking day, ” Miller said. “ The town I ’ ve built to keep safe is now  corrupt.
One of the men I ’ d go to in
this situation is dead. Your brother. ”
    “ How
did he die? ”
    “ Like
a man, ” Gaige said. “ Bullet to the neck. ”
    “ No, ” Gary groaned. ” No. That meant if he wasn ’ t here, he ’ d be alive. You fuckers did kill
him. ”
    “ Call
me a name again and watch where that gets you, ” Miller said.
    Gary looked like he was going to
spit at Miller. Miller shot his hand forward and covered Gary ’ s mouth. He pushed hard and put Gary on his back.
    “ You
listen to me, ” Miller said. “ We were his family, not you.
I don ’ t know what the fuck
you want here. Griffin is fucking dead. He ’ s
gone forever …”
    That ’ s
when it finally sunk in for good for Miller.
    Gary ’ s
face turned red and he shook his head, trying to fight Miller ’ s hand away. When Miller took
his hand away, Gary gasped for air and cried out for help. Miller slowly stood
and backed up.
    “ Miller, ” Gaige said.
    “ No.
Take care of him. Get him out of here. ”
    “ What
do you want us to do? ” Blaine asked.
    “ I
don ’ t care, ” Miller said. “ I just don ’ t fucking care. ”
    He turned and charged toward the
clubhouse.
    He went right inside and right to
the bar. A prospect poured him a shot and Miller took it to the conference
room. He sat in his seat and stared at Griffin ’ s
seat.
    For all the years he and Griffin spent together, he never knew of Griffin ’ s
past life. Not that it ever really bothered him at all though, at least not
until now. It sunk in deep that every man out there wearing the cut had a past.
    Hell, Miller had his own past.
    Miller drank the shot. It tasted
like death and burned like hell. He wanted another one. But he didn ’ t move. Instead, he just
