to reckon with, even for me.”
    Logan did not return the smile.  He
knew what type of man he was, ruthless and merciless some said; others hard and
cold and then those that saw him as loyal and fierce.  To date, there has been
none who called him caring, loving and tender.  His mouth tightened in an even
thinner line.  There probably never would be.  The same hate that drove his
father the past week, was what drove him to become the man he was today; from
the day of his tenth birthday.
    The very day his mother packed her
bags and left them. He did not start to hate immediately.  It took another two
years of praying and wishing for her return, before he realized she really did
not care.  She never phoned, she never asked to see them; she just left them
with Jonathan Dalton, who became hard, uncaring and ruthless. 
    Logan grew up very quickly.  He became
the mother of the house.  He protected his brother that was three years younger
than him, especially during the times his father took to the bottle to try and
forget the deceit of his one true love.   Logan shook his head to clear his
mind.  After clearing the air with Red and the team he realized with a start
that for once in twenty five years, he did not brood over his mother and how
she left on his tenth birthday.  His thoughts the whole of yesterday was filled
with a sexy long legged wildcat.
    He sighed and copied his Dad’s gesture
and ran his hands through his short cropped hair.
    “It has been twenty five years, Dad. 
Maybe, it’s time to let it go.”
    Shane held his breath and looked at
Logan in shock.  He knew how much he hated their mother, perhaps even more than
their father did.  He had to grow up and become the adult in their household at
the age of ten.  When their mother left, Jonathan became a shell of the man he
used to be and put all his energy in his work.  He left the boys to their own
defenses more often than not.  Logan became his father, his mother … his
protector.  He did not have a youth or even the carefree life someone of their
financial means usually had.  Not like he made sure Shane had. His head swung
to his father and his eyes widened when he saw the defeated look in his eyes.
    “Maybe we should have let it go years
ago.  I am sorry boys.  My bitterness against your mother has made your lives
hell, especially yours Logan and for that I am sorry.  You have not had a
proper birthday in twenty five years and it is entirely my fault.  I fed your
hate with my actions. You closed your heart against all love and feelings,
something that should never have happened.  I only came to that realization
this week and that is why … why I have been so … argh dammit!”
    He looked at his eldest son with
torture in his eyes.  “I am so sorry, my boy.  You had to take a whole
household on your shoulders from your tenth year.  I was lost and so full of
hate that I did not see what I was doing to you. But you are right, it is time
to let it go, starting right here and now.  I know it is a day late, but
tonight we are going out to town and celebrate your birthday properly.”
    Shane jumped up from the couch and
slapped Logan on his back.  “I’m in!  Come on, big bro, what do you say?”
    Logan saw the regret in his father’s
eyes and he nodded.  “Why the hell not!”  He returned his father’s relieved
smile.
    “Where shall we go?  We are not
limited to Dallas … we have us a pilot now.”  Shane stood rubbing his hands.
    Jonathan’s eyes widened when he
noticed the look of possessiveness that flashed in Logan’s eyes at Shane’s
words and he smiled.  His son has found his future, the one that could defrost
the ice around his heart! He just didn’t realize it yet.
    “The little spitfire outside is your
new pilot, Logan?”
    He nodded and Shane smiled broadly at
the warning glare he got from him.
    “A female?  You appointed a female
pilot?”
    “Shane did.”
    “Hmm … and you allowed her to
