Chapter Seventy Seven: Salvador, And Someone Who Looks Like Ciara

Vulcan's POV

Smith's shoulders slumped as he sighed.

"Smith, please," I urged.

"Vulcan," he said, drawing out my name in a tired tone. "This isn't good. You're doing too much. Grandpa will have my head alongside yours. I can't keep helping you and covering your ass every time. You really need to man up and listen to everyone for once."

I didn't like his tone or the way he made my decisions seem wrong. But deep down, I knew I was making the right choice.

He didn't look like he wanted to help, and I growled in response, "Fine." I clicked the door open, and before I could step out, Smith grabbed my wrist, making me turn my head toward him.

"I'll help you," he said, not even looking at me.

"I'll help you with a little money to do whatever you need, but don't come running to me when it all goes wrong. I won't take responsibility."

"It won't," I said sternly.
