Also, she’d left a picture of you with her will, since she only knew your biker name, and I recognized you as one of the men.” She touched her arm. “I saw your tattoo on the news, and then went online to look again and match you with the picture she’d left of you. Once I knew you were here, I started feeling guilty about you not knowing you had kids. Some men might not want to know, but others….” She shrugged again and then jumped when her phone rang.
    Her gaze stayed on me as she answered with, “I’m fine, dad. Did the kids go down for you okay?”
    Our werewolf hearing let us all hear both sides of the conversation, and my heart broke when he said, “I had to read them five stories before they finally fell asleep. Are you sure you’re okay?”
    “Big bad Marine Sergeant who gets bossed around by four year olds. I’m fine , dad.”
    “You’re asking for trouble.”
    “I’m doing what’s right.”
    He sighed. “One child who did no right, another who can do no wrong. Just don’t go and get yourself killed doing right.”
    “Sandy did right sometimes.”
    “Not nearly enough. If I don’t hear from you every thirty minutes I’m calling you, and I want you to turn on your phone tracker thing, so I know where you are.”
    “Okay, but I’m inside where there aren’t windows, so it won’t pick up until I leave.”
    “I know where you are now, just need to know if you go somewhere else.”
    “I love you, dad.”
    “Love you, too. Wish you were still young enough I could tan your hide.”
    She pushed buttons on her phone a few seconds and put it back into her purse. “Told you my dad would be calling soon.”
    “Can I see them tomorrow? Take the three of you to breakfast, maybe?”
    “I took off this week for spring break, so yeah, I can do that on a Friday. My dad will want to come, too, and I’m not sure breakfast is a good idea. Maybe you can meet us at a playground?”
    “Where and when?”
    “The Riverpark at eleven, near the playground?”
    “I’ll be there. What will you tell them about me?”
    “What do you want me to tell them?”
    “That I’m their father.”
    “They’ve been told we don’t know who their daddy is.”
    “Well then you can tell them it bothered you that they didn’t know, so you found me. You didn’t tell them you were looking because you didn’t want them to be sad if you didn’t find me.” She didn’t argue and I asked, “Are they okay? The drugs Sandy did before she stopped…”
    “Thankfully, most babies exposed to cocaine in utero have no lasting damage. Plus, she stopped early so they weren’t addicted when they were born. The twins have been healthy from the beginning.” She tilted her head. “You’d love them no matter, though, wouldn’t you?”
    I nodded and looked away, and she said, “I should get home. I’ll ask you not to bring a lot of people with you tomorrow because it could be overwhelming for the twins, but if you need to bring a few friends, please do.”
    “I’ll walk you out and have someone follow you until you get out of the downtown area, to make sure you’re safe,” Duke told her. He turned to me. “Wash your hand and see to it. I’ll be back in a minute.”
    I knew he’d get her license plate number as well as the make and model of her car. Knowing him, he might even have someone else follow her as far as possible without drawing attention to themselves. Duke always has my back.

    I didn’t get up right away when the alarm sounded. I’d only had a few hours’ sleep and my mind was still going a million miles a minute.
    I hadn’t been a biker when I’d been a father before. I’d been a skip tracer, so I still wasn’t a suit and tie kind of guy, but I hadn’t been a long-haired, bearded biker.
    What would my kids think of me?
    Fuck , I hadn’t cared what anyone thought of me since my life had fallen apart. I’d never intended to let anyone or anything close enough to hurt me again.
