kicked
to Dallas and back! These men are hurt. They are your men, your friends, hurt
by you, and yet you would not let me help them? When they bleed to death … are
you still going to blame the Daltons, or are you going to lie awake at night
realizing you are all to blame because you refused any medical team to assist
them?”
She got angrier by the moment since
she noticed the emergency services were held off at the gate leading to this
area.
The red head rubbed his neck and
scuffed his boots in the ground. His voice was softer and more controlled.
“We just wanted to get their
attention. We did not want to hurt anyone. Some of the younger guys got a bit
excited.”
“Ever thought of just asking for a
meeting to sort out whatever issues you have?”
“We did yesterday afternoon! We want
to talk to Logan. He listens and always takes our suggestions into
consideration, but since his father took over this plant, everything has gone
to hell! Especially this last week! We’re not bloody sheep!” He got angrier
and his voice rose, and the discontent mounted in the group behind them again.
She felt hard hands fold over her
shoulders. Logan turned her towards the hurt man and faced the angry mob. He
looked at Red and shook his head.
“I expected more from you, Red. You
know better, how could you have allowed this get out of control?”
“Sorry, Logan. We just got so
frustrated. Jonathan … well I respect your father, but this past week, he
treated some of the guys … well bad.”
“I am here now, so let’s go to the
office and talk. But first, let the emergency team in to look after these
mates of yours.”
He nodded and shouted instructions and
everyone scattered to obey. Logan searched for Madison and watched in
amazement as she efficiently cleaned the wound and took out a syringe. The
next thing he knew, she was stitching up the gaping wound on the temple of the
injured man. He shook his head and called Shane over.
“Keep an eye on her. I’d like you to
chat to Larry’s team and see if you can find out who started the violence.
This was more than just excitement getting out of hand. It was planned, and I
want to know how serious of a threat this can turn into.”
Shane nodded and started
chatting with some of the men. They were well liked by all their staff and it
was easy to get them to talk. He kept an eye on Madison and smiled when he
thought of her spunk. The three of them stood watching with their jaws slack
when she stood up to the mountain sized man, Red Schultz.
The cap on her head had
disappeared a while ago and he only noticed now that her face was free of any
make up. She was just as beautiful as when they saw her in town. He grinned,
thinking of how she sassed Logan. He was used to women falling at his feet,
flattering their lashes in sweet innocence, wanting to be pampered and acted
the way they thought he wanted them to. Little did they realize, he just
didn’t care. To him they were there for release when he needed it. He never
had to work to get any attention from females; rather they fell over their feet
for his favors. Maybe she was the one that could get past the iron shield, he
casted around his heart when he was still a little boy.
Chapter Three
“Dad,
you do realize what led to triggering this incident in the first place?”
Logan stood staring out of the window
into the darkness, his back to the room. They were in Jonathan’s luxurious
office. Shane and his father sat on the comfortable couches behind him. He
heard his father sigh and turned around to watch him run his hand through his
silver hair.
“Yeah, I know and I am sorry.”
“I am not the one you should apologize
to.”
“I know that too, Logan! I am not
daft.”
His amber colored eyes flashed at
Logan. He shook his head and a small smile hesitated on his lips.
“Where are the days when you were
scared of me? You have become a real force
