Shadows In Durango

Chapter 55

*****Daryl's POV*****

Turning when I hear the front door open, I find a tear stained Sofia followed by an anxious looking Emma.

What the fuck has Vincent done to them this time?!

"Sofia?" I question, as she peers up at me through her soaked lashes before choking on a sob.

"Emma what's happening?" Reid follows me towards them, as she opens and closes her mouth to find an answer for him.

"What's happening? What's happening is that I found these two grinding on some guys down at that new western bar! Guys thought they were getting fucking lucky tonight to put it lightly!" We all turn to find Vincent entering through the front door behind them, his temper evidently in full swing as I take in his bloodied knuckles and disheveled appearance.

It was clear that he had dealt with whatever guys he was on about... but I couldn't lie that the news of what they had been up to tonight did hurt my feelings slightly.

But taking another glance at Sofia's frightened face, I sigh and shake my head.

"Vin just quit it! They are both shaken up about it clearly. We can discuss it tomorrow." I tell him, my tone warning as he raises a brow.

"Always playing the knight in shining armour aren't you Daryl?!" He scoffs, before taking off in a quick stride towards the staircase - heading up to his room for the night.

I was sort of glad he took himself away, knowing that if he wanted to, he could have stayed and made this night much worse for everybody.

"We should probably talk about this." Reid motions towards the kitchen with Emma, who looks as guilty as they come as she trudges her feet slowly behind him - giving Sofias shoulder a squeeze on passing. Sofia wiped her wet cheeks, sniffling and seeming to grow frustrated.

"We were only dancing and having fun!" She groans out, and I can tell from the tone of her voice that there was alcohol involved in the mix.
