Hell might have broken loose if Zean hadn't had the half-wit to keep his mouth shut. But there was always a point when someone's had enough. I'd like to see how that car ride went. When Beck was done, he closed the glass door then turned to face me. I smiled as he caught my eye. To my surprise, he smiled back making my stomach erupt with butterf
