CHAPTER 12 Spirit was excited. He had watched Rylee several times in a courthouse and every time, he came out of there more and more impressed. It was one of the many things that intrigued Spirit about the man. Rylee was the quiet one of the three brothers. He allowed Bren and Jude to take over during troubled times and would follow the orders they would give. Yet, when he walked into a courtroom, it was as if he was a whole other man—strong, confident, and would take no prisoners. “Well hello Rylee, what brings you here?” A slick slimy voice asked. Spirit felt Rylee’s defenses go up which immediately brought Spirit to defense mode. “Lark. My business is my own. I see you’re here to try and keep Daluca out of jail. Good luck with that.” Rylee said and his sarcasm didn’t go unnoticed.
