His arm brushed me as he used the mouse, the cursor hovering over a file with my name on it.

“Was he stalking me too?” I snorted, making Diesel frown as he glanced at me.

“Who else is stalking you?”

“Hunter, obviously. He pops up like mold,” I muttered, reaching for the mouse to take it from him and click on the folder. There were photos of Mom, Max, and more of Axel. He had everything down to a document that had proof of sale from when Max had sold me to Tristan a few months ago.

I jerked back when I opened a file to find a photo of me chained to Tristan’s weird rape box. Well, I assumed it was me, all I could see was my lower half.

Diesel’s hand covered mine to click out of the photo, and he nudged me gently.

“Let me go through this. You keep going with the paper copies of things,” he suggested.

“I can handle it,” I argued, and he patted my shoulder.

“I know you can, but I can mark them as triggering content so when you go through it, you know what you’re opening. Take five.”

I blew out a breath and stood, giving him the chair so I could head back out to the others, finding them all on the couch.

“Find anything?” Tyler asked curiously, and I shrugged.

“A few things. Diesel’s going through the computer for me. I’m going to crash here tonight, so you guys can head home. I’m probably not going to sleep anyway,” I explained, all of them frowning.

“You’re staying?” Jensen asked.

“Diesel will probably still be searching through things tonight, and I don’t want to leave him alone either. I’ve got my gun,” I promised, and they all looked like I’d kicked them. “What?”

“You’re kicking us out?” Caden grumbled as he tugged me onto his lap.

“I mean, you can stay if you want, but I have a lot to go through. Josie will stress if⁠—”

“Mom will stress if we leave you here too,” he huffed, tucking my hair behind my ear.

“Tell her D’s with me and we have good security here. If I find anything good, I’ll call you.”

He didn’t seem convinced, but he finally sighed and nodded.

“Alright. If you want some space, we can do that. Don’t run off on Diesel.”

“I won’t. I’m too busy.”

“Hmm,” he said, not really believing me, but giving me a kiss. “We can come back if you need us.”

I gave them all a kiss before watching them leave through a crack in the curtains, then I returned to Diesel once I’d had a cigarette, finding him still scanning through files.

“The guys gone?” he asked as I perched on the edge of the desk.

“Yeah. There’s no point in them just sitting around wasting the rest of the day.”

“Want me to show you how to hack into other cameras?” he offered with a small smirk, showing me how to access the things on file that didn’t require hacking constantly. A lot of things had terrible security, other things needed a little more effort, and some were too complicated for me to even try.

It was nice of him to try and show me though, even if I was hopeless.

“You’re fucking kidding me,” Samuel said flatly, and I gave him a dirty look.

“Nope. I went over the paperwork from the lawyer Slash appointed to execute the will myself. He left it all to her.”
