Zeus:Youcomingtome or am I coming to you tonight?
Tracker:I’ll come to you. You don’t need to get up earlier to drive home.
Zeus:Thanks for that. I love you.
Tracker:I love you too.
Zeus:That never gets old.
Tracker:I found a new game. You have to solve puzzles to move freely through the different levels.
Zeus:Awesome. We’ll have that beaten in an hour.
Tracker:It’s an hour we’ll be together.
Zeus:I love the sound of that.
Hey friend. Did you get the codes I sent you?
1CEOofGenius_ATLAS
Yeah. I sent the cracked files through a series of various networks to hide its origins. Let me know what you think.
1_bottomless_data_base
Oops. I never hit send. LMFAO.
1_bottomless_data_base
We’re such a pair. Love ya, babe. You’re amazing.
1CEOofGenius_ATLAS
The feeling is mutual. Have you cornered Foster yet?
1_bottomless_data_base

1CEOofGenius_ATLAS

Zeus:There’s a free playroom.
Tracker:I’m on my way.
Tracker stared at the shower wall as hot water beat down on him. His mind had drifted five minutes after he stepped into the shower and hadn’t come back to reality yet. Zeus’ shower had a mesmerizing tile design. It was soothing. Plus, Zeus just lived inside his brain now, overriding everything in his life, even his showers. Tracker had slept nearly every night in Zeus’ bed since the day after they nearly split. This felt like his home now. Tracker had been super excited about the security buildingBeau had built for him. Now he couldn’t even recall what the bathroom walls looked like. It was odd.
The bad thing about feeling this way, he knew things couldn’t stay like this. His home was with his team. His brothers. He was shocked Beau hadn’t had a few things to say about Tracker’s more absent than not behavior. He had invested a lot of money in Tracker to keep his family safe. Tracker still did that, just from afar. He used his laptop during the day to keep an eye on things. That setup was nowhere near the same. He knew he wasn’t doing his best. Tracker had no idea how to balance his life. He had to figure out something, though. Tracker practically felt the reckoning moving his way. He couldn’t pull off this half-assed juggling act forever.
With a loud sigh, Tracker blinked and got back to his washing. He couldn’t stand there all day. Tracker went through his routine before ending up in the kitchen. Zeus had left him a pot of coffee. It was unusual for Zeus to be missing in the morning since Tracker started staying there. That was the whole reason Tracker chose Zeus’ place over his. Zeus worked late hours. He got more sleep when he didn’t have to make the drive to see Tracker. Tracker wished he had realized that sooner. Zeus needed the rest.
With his coffee in hand, Tracker headed for the couch. As he walked past the door, he heard several voices all speaking over each other outside. That was odd as hell first thing in the morning considering Zeus lived in the back of his club. It sounded a lot like his loud-ass brothers, but that didn’t make sense either. Tracker set his coffee on the sideboard and openedthe door. A door across the hall and down from the apartment a little way stood open.
Of all the things Tracker expected to find, it wasn’t Henry standing guard in the hallway. His confusion tripled. Henry was Beau’s personal bodyguard. Beau Bosi had taken his brothers and him in and treated them like family. That didn’t explain why Beau would be here. Unless he wasn’t. That was possible. Henry was also married to Tracker’s brother, Field. Maybe he was just escorting him. At the thought, his mood brightened. Field was such a ball of sunshine. He made everyone smile. Tracker always loved spending time with him.
