Kindle Notes & Highlights
Tobias plasters himself against my front and lowers his head to the hollow of my throat. “Sorry,” he whispers, a soft breath through the hole at the mouth of the mask. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry,” he breathes repeatedly as he grabs my thigh and pulls it up to his side, playing the part. “Forgive me.”
One time, Bernadette buried Base in her yard and I had to find him. If I was even a minute later dragging him out of the soil, he would be dead now. I beat Archie up for that. I think Bernadette gets off on seeing him bruised and bloodied. She gave Base a week off because he was so fucking traumatised and put all his duties on me.
Kade snatches someone by the throat and repeatedly punches them in the face, so hard the gas mask drops to the ground. Base is strangling the other, a manic expression on his face. “Motherfuckers chose the wrong family to fuck with,” Base growls, kicking the person between the legs before they drop. “Pieces of shit.” Kade snaps the man’s neck so easily, and I hear it popping. They’re both drenched in blood.
