Colby's POV
"How did that go?" Jeremy asked as I walked the hall and towards the conference room where everyone was waiting.
"He wants to apologize to Julia." I mumbled. "Are you gonna let him?" He asked as I clenched my jaw.
"He's not going anywhere near her." I said then opened the door, revealing the whole gang.
"Brock, you can't keep us down here. My wife is going to worry." Jeff said as I nodded. "Your wife should know that it can happen." I said blandly.
"Unfortunately for all of you, there are some snakes among us." I said and look at all of them with an unbothered look on my face.
"Until those people are caught and dealt with, you all will be staying down here." I said as they all argued.
"ENOUGH." I yelled angrily. "Remember what I told you. Mess with me or mine and you'll be killed. Nobody is getting away with this." I said and glared at all of them.
"If the ones who aren't snakes want to interrogate or kill anyone suspicious, be my guest. It'll make this whole process easier." I said then looked around.
"Any questions?" I asked and raised my brows. "Where's Will?" Steve asked. "He's dead. Any other questions?" I asked blandly.
I didn't want to tell them that he was alive because he wouldn't be for long. I didn't need the snakes setting him free before I could take care of him.
We stood in silence for a minute before I nodded.
"Great." I said then turned around. The second I did this, I heard a gun click off of the safety and felt something pressed against my back.
I rolled my eyes then sighed, quickly turning and grabbing the gun, swiftly flipping it to point at the idiot that thought that would be a good idea.
"That was fun." I said with a laugh then shot and killed the guy.
"I was very serious about what I said, I hope this proves that." I said then tossed the gun onto the dead body before leaving the room.
Was it probably a little harsh to do that? Yeah. I didn't care though.
I promised Julia I would come home tonight, so I had to do anything to protect myself.
Since the whole gang was angry, I decided to call it a day and go home. I probably could have done a little more work but I wasn't going to put myself in danger to do meaningless work.
"Send me that email draft you have, and make sure it mentions something about needing to meet with him." I said to Jeremy as I put my jacket on.
"Sure thing, boss." He said as I nodded. "Sorry that you have to stay trapped down here." I said as he shrugged.
"It's all good. Tell Jules I said hi." Jeremy said and waved. "Will do." I said then turned and went to leave.
I decided on the way home to pick some stuff up for Julia.
I stopped and got her Chinese food from her favorite place, then got some flowers and a pint of ice cream from the pharmacy.
I knew there was a small chance of her eating this stuff but I really was trying my best to make her feel more comfortable.
When I got back to the apartment, Sam was sitting on the couch alone.
I scrunched my brow and put the stuff I got on the counter.
"Where's Julia?" I asked as he sighed and looked up.
"Bedroom." He said as I nodded and made my way over to the bedroom.
