Chapter 38

“What are you doing?” Noah walked over to where Mason checked through his inventory.

“Trying to find the damn Jack Daniels. I know I have a full bottle, but it’s not here.”

“I think that’s a sign you need to stop drinking for the night.”

“Either help me find it, and have a drink with me, or shut the hell up. No one’s holding you captive here.” Mason’s voice sounded gravelly. “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”

“Got it.” Noah had no plans to leave, not while Mason remained in this state. He just wished he could figure out what caused Mason’s attitude. Something big had to have set him off.

“There it is, hiding in the back.” Mason moved some of the bottles around before he pulled one out. “Come to papa.” With bottle in hand, Mason headed to the kitchen.

“You having some of this, or you just watching?”

“I’ll pass,” Noah said. It’d be a long night, and he’d need to keep his wits about him. At least one of them would.
