had it still been in there. Lucky for me, we found it before I had every pride member sign off that they’d read all the rules.” Quin laughed and asked him if he was sure he’d gotten it out in time. “I’m sure. I had Brook go over it three times, and then Mom before I had copies of it made. There are still some in there that might have to be taken out sooner or later, but for now, I can live with the ones we have.”

“I’ll get on to reading my copy as soon as I can.” Ronan thanked him. “Roger and Lexi are going to stick around. I’m still wondering what Lily is going to do. She’s so stressed out about having all this money it’s hard for her to focus on much of anything else. But I did go over it with her, and I’m thinking Rogue will as well. She’ll slap her around a little and get her to make a decision. The house is the most important thing. It can’t sit empty for too long. I’d hate to think someone like Missy would move in.”

“She’s left for the big house, I heard.” Quin said he’d heard that as well. “Then there is Robin. I never liked that man even as a kid. He was forever having something or someone doing shit for him. Lucky for us, we were always bigger than him. And us being cats kept him away from us. Mom told me she’d babysat him once and never again. He was a terror even back then.”

Quin wasn’t looking forward to going with Robby tomorrow, but he’d told him he’d be there for him. Robin was going to have a long trial, and it was going to be an eye-opener for a lot of people. He’d been dealing in death for a long time. Lucky for everyone involved, Billy had been able to talk to the animals involved and had found a lot of evidence that would be used against the man. Good. The streets would be so much better without him walking around free.

Rogue was sitting in for Quin today as he’d been called away for an emergency. She’d been happy to be there for Robby. She also wanted to hear firsthand what the hell the man, Robin, had to say for himself. She also knew that Robby had a few things to say to his son, one of them being that he was washing his hands of him forever. Rogue didn’t think Robin would say much to that, but it was going to be put out there so Robby wouldn’t be saddled with Robin’s shit.

When he joined them in the large conference room, Robin was sporting not just a black eye but what appeared to be about ten stitches in his lower lip. Instead of commenting on it, Cass told Robin they were recording this conversation. Robin was also informed he would be given a copy of it once it was transcribed.

“Why would I need that? You think I might come back on you, Dad? I don’t care what you have to say to me today. I know what I know.” Robby asked him what he thought he knew. “That you’re going to get up off your high horse and get me the hell out of here. Whatever burr you have up your ass about things is going to get you into a serious lot of trouble.”

“Really? From where I’m sitting, Robin, I’d say it’s a safe bet that you can’t do anything to me. Not unless you break out of jail and come after me. But that’s not going to happen either. Not where they’re sending you. You’ve hit the big time, Robin. They’re sending you to the worst prison in the world. And no one ever comes out of there unless it’s in a body bag.” Robin snorted, and Rogue decided right then and there she was finished with that sound. “I’ve come here today to inform you of a few changes I’ve made. All of them are concerning you and your being my only son.”

“You might want to keep reminding yourself of that, Father dearest. I’m the only person you have left in the world right now.” Robby smiled, and Rogue thought it was a very good smile. “What? Are you going to tell me you’re taking me out of the will? You can’t do that either. It’s my right as your son to inherit your stuff.”

“No, it’s my right to refuse you anything. As of yesterday morning, a new will was written up and filed, so there are no more issues with what I have and what I leave to whoever I wish. You are no longer mentioned in it, other than to say that you are entitled to nothing.” Robin said he was a liar. “If you say so.”

Robin looked at Rogue. “I suppose you have a lot to do with this. Some dyke that orders my father around—”

The chair Robin was sitting in just fell back. If not for the fact that Robin was chained to the table, he might well have tipped all the way back. Rogue looked at Cass when he sat back down after hitting Robin.

“There will be no more talk like that. Now, here is a copy of the will for your reading pleasure. You’ll note that, as you were told, you are not mentioned in the will as anyone that would need to be showing up for things given over to you. You are getting nothing.”

Cass went on to talk about who was mentioned in the will, and it occurred to her that Billy had been mentioned. Before she could ask what that meant, Robin asked.

“Billy has been a better friend and daughter to me than you ever were a son. So, as for her name being mentioned, you’ll see right there that I’m leaving a little something for her to live on should she want it. The horses, the
