Beckett (Robinson Destruction #4) - Kathi S. Barton Page 0,43

him in her life. “You have it all worked out in your head. I know you well enough to have figured out that part of you. Not only do you have it planned out, but I have a feeling you might well know what the outcome will be.”

“I don’t know for sure the outcome, but I have a good idea what I’d like for it to come out as.” She sat on the bench she’d been using to stretch out on. “You will help me, right? I mean, a great deal of my outcome will depend on your help.”

“I will do whatever you need for me to do. So long as I get to brag about it to my brothers.” She smiled at him. “Thank you. That alone, and bragging rights, makes me want to do anything you want.”

Allie told him of her plan. The entire way she had it laid out. Beck asked her questions about some of the things she had in her mind and corrected a couple more. Since she had little dealings with the sort of people she was about to go up against, she was glad for his input. As soon as the two of them had it all lined up, they went to see Tru.

She would only know the outline of what she was going to say and do to these people. Tru was jealous again of her way of thinking. She also begged her to take a gun. Finally, relenting only in that she’d take it if it was the only way Tru would allow her to go, she put it in her back pocket. Tru had a way of getting guns into places that wouldn’t normally allow them to be present. She loved working with these women.

“All she told me was that we’re to stay right here with you and watch the monitors. There was mention of her getting the members to turn over some of their stock in the school, but she was really vague on how or why she was doing that. I guess we’re going to find out.” Tru didn’t know a lot of details, but having Allie go to the school instead of her might save a few lives.

It had made her feel as if Allie wasn’t going there with the intent to kill. However, having her armed would make sure that she’d at least have some way of defending herself if the shit were to hit the fan. And it was Tru’s thoughts that usually the shit did hit the walls, people, and anything else around when it came to stupid people.

Enrolling her children in the pack school was working out better than she could have hoped it would. It wasn’t that she hadn’t trusted the pack school, but she had been afraid that someone would come for her kids to make her do something she didn’t want to, and that would kill a lot of people. The private school had things in place that would keep not just her boys safe, but the teachers and anyone else there as well. It never occurred to her that her kids would be harmed more inside the school walls than out.

“Do you know why they’re having this meeting?” Tru looked over at Rogen. “You looked like you were about to get physical for a minute, and I thought I’d pull you out of it. But do you know why they’re meeting today?”

“No. The only reason she was able to figure it out was that Thatcher hacked into their system for us yesterday when she came to me. By the way, Thatcher is getting really good at this kind of stuff too. I think he just needs to relax more and have a little more confidence in himself when he finds something.” Rogen said she told him that all the time and he just told her that he loved her. “Sounds like Houston.”

Anna wasn’t working with them today. She had some work she was doing with Morgan. The two of them were forever working together on things that would improve the way families were able to get funding when they needed it. With the colder weather coming up, Anna was seeing that people signed up for energy help as well as anything else that might be out there for them. Next year, they were hoping to have a lot of these people working at full-time jobs.

“Look, there she is. I thought Beck was going to go with her.” Tru told
