“Are you going to tear up his contract, Tom?” Caden asked.
“Even I wouldn’t be that cruel,” Bull said. “That kid really loves Tom. He was so afraid of pain and yet he asked for your flogger. That’s bravery. You just have to channel it in the right direction.”
“I love him. I won’t tear up his contract. But after I cool down I’m going to tie him to a chair and make him listen to me. I’m going to tell him how it’s going to be and if he’s not willing to follow the rules, I’ll keep my apartment in Trenton and leave him alone. I need something to take my anger out on. I’m thinking I’ll go and rip out the rugs and the cabinets at our house. I’ll get a dumpster from Waste Management.”
“Take a few bouncers with you, they always want the overtime.”
“I have to go if I’m going to be at the hospital before Greg. The boys can call Greg if they need something. They know that his office is next to mine.”
