Chapter Seventeen: Exhaustion

After showering and dressing I exit my bedroom to find Dolly, Duffy, Greenly and Smecker sitting in my living room. There were going over the plans. I was glad the boys had them to turn to for help.

Connor and Murphy had dressed in their normal jeans and black shirts. I watched them intently as they talked with the detectives. I tried to blend into the background. The boys made that impossible.

"Ya feel better there, Katie," Murphy smiled, "Were ya in there thinking about my cock?"

"Fuck you," I threw a pillow at him and laughed.

"Shut it, Murph," Connor said, "This is some serious shit we're doing today." I grabbed a cigarette from it's pack and searched for a lighter. Dolly, who had barely said two words to me before, offered me a light.

"Thank you," I said.

"She ne'er has a fuckin' lighter," Connor smiled. "We better be headed out now." I nodded and picked up my two suitcases, then followed them out the door. Connor took one from me and Murphy took the other. They loaded them into the back of Connor's Honda.

"Ya gonna meet us at the hotel after?" Murphy asked.

"I'll be there," I looked up at him. I looked into his sapphire eyes for a long time. I prayed silently that I would see them again after this. He circled his hands around my waist, leaned down and kissed me softly on the lips. I pulled him closer and kissed him deeper. I lingered in the taste of his mouth.

"Hurry the fuck up," Connor smacked Murphy on the back of the head. "Get in the van." Murphy released me and climbed in the van.

Connor walked me to the driver's door of his car. "Ya still remember how ta drive it?" He opened the door for me and adjusted the seat closer to the steering wheel.

"Yes, I remember," I smiled. "Connor?"

"Aye, Katie," he said.

"Be careful," I stated. He pressed his lips softly against mine. He released me long before I was ready to let him go. I sat down in the car and he closed the door after me.

"Katie," he said softly and handed me a briefcase through the window, "If we don't make it take this and start a new life for ya self." I opened the case. It was full of money.

"Why are you giving this to me? You're going to make it," I felt tears start to form in my eyes.

"And when we do ya can give it back," he said, "Just take it so I know ya are gonna be ok if we don't." I closed the case and dropped it in the passenger's seat.

"That won't replace either of you," I said. "Just make sure you come back to me."

"Aye, Katie, I will," he said, "Go now. I'll see ya soon."

I waited until Connor had gotten into the van and it had rounded the corner before I put my foot down on the clutch and started the engine. It took a few tries but I finally got it into the right gear and headed off. I pulled it into the courthouse garage and parked. I pushed my sunglasses up on my nose and entered.

Reporters were everywhere. I heard the commotion from the courtroom. I knew then where I was going. I followed the screams and found Smecker standing outside the door.

"You people have been chosen to reveal our existence to the world," I heard Noah say through the cracked door, "You will witness what happens here today and you will tell of it later. All eyes front." I peered through the crack in the door. Papa Joe was on his knees. Connor and Murphy stood behind him with their guns to his head.

"Now's a good time…" Papa Joe was interrupted by the butt of Connor's gun.

"Shut your fucking mouth," Connor said.

From the corner of my eye I saw Dolly pull the fire alarm. I looked back into the courtroom. Connor and Murphy had climbed onto tables and were holding their guns on the crowd.

"Now you will receive us!" Connor shouted.

"We do not ask for your pour or your hungry!" Murphy shouted.

"We do not ask for your tired or sick!" Connor continued.

"It is your corrupt we claim!" Murphy added.

"It is your evil that will be sought by us," Connor shouted. I watched this unfold as they continued speaking about justice and they being the hammer of God. Murphy warned the lesser criminals not to cross over or they would take them down.

"For if you do," Connor shouted, "One day you will look behind you and see we three. And on that day you will reap it!"

"And we will send you to whatever god you wish," Murphy finished. He and Connor joined Noah behind Papa Joe. I closed my eyes as they said their family prayer. I heard Papa Joe praying in Italian. I hoped he was praying for forgiveness. I jumped when I heard the three simultaneous shots.

"Katie," Smecker said to me, "Take the side exit. Avoid the press. I'll get them out the back." I nodded and ran out. I jumped into Connor's car and pealed into out of the lot. I finally breathed when I pulled into the parking lot of the dingy motel by the train station.

"Will you be needing the room by the hour or for the whole night?" the man behind the counter asked.

"I'll be needin' it for the night," I said using the best Irish accent I could come up with.

"How many will there be?" he asked.

"Four, my da and my two brothers will be joining me soon," I answered still clinging to the fake Irish accent. I prayed that he wouldn't see right through me.

"Ok miss," the man said and handed me the key, "It's $200."

I tossed him some cash and took the key from him. I paced the floor of room 105, hoping I wouldn't wear a hole in the carpet. Every time I heard a car drive by on the highway I was expecting it to be them. I turned on the news and someone had drawn sketches of the boys. The likeness was uncanny.

It was dark before I heard a knock on the door. It wasn't the boys. It was Duffy.

"Where are they?" I shouted at him.

"They're close," he said. "They sent me ahead to make sure you weren't followed."

"Come in I guess," I responded, "Do you need to check the place over?"

"Just a quick sweep," Duffy said.

"Are they ok?" I asked as he looked in my bathroom and under my bed. He kept silent and just kept searching. "What the fuck, Duffy, please tell me."

A moment later Connor walked through the door. I felt a thousand pound weight lift off my chest. Murphy followed behind him.

"Thanks fer lookin' out fer her Duffy," Murphy said, "We'll be takin' care o' her now." Duffy nodded a goodbye to me and walked out the door.

"Where's your da?" I asked.

"Next door," Connor answered. "He thought ya could use some time alone with ya 'brothers'."

"I wasn't sure what to tell the man," I responded.

"It's ok, Katie," he answered, "I can show ya some brotherly love." He pulled me to his chest and pressed his lips softly on mine. His tongue traced my lower lip.

"I don't know if I should be kissing my brother like that," I smiled.

"Aye, ya should," he responded and pressed his lips to mine again. I heard the door lock then felt another set of hands on me.

"Ya are really close to ye brothers," Murphy whispered in my ear. He brushed my hair aside and kissed the back of my neck. He held me up by my hips as I felt my knees start to buckle. I felt his erection pressed firmly against my ass. I moaned as I leaned back against him.

Connor's lips left mine and Murphy's claimed them. I felt a hand pull at the button of my pants. Another set pulled up on my shirt. I raised my arms as they lifted it over my head. Connor guided me to the bed and lay me down. His lips traced soft kisses down my neck. I gasped when I felt Murphy's lips on my navel. I felt him pull my shoes off and tug my pants down.

"Do ya always wear knickers like these?" Murphy whispered before kissing the top of my purple lace boy shorts. I clenched Connor's shirt in my hand as Murphy kissed my moistening panties. Murphy lifted my hips and pulled them down, tossing them aside. He pulled me to the edge of the bed and knelt down between my legs, pulling them over his shoulders.

Connor's kisses traveled down my neck and found the valley between my breasts. He pulled the straps of my bra down then cupped my breast in his hand. I felt a thousand sensations at once. Murphy's tongue on my clit. Connor's tongue on my hardened nipple. I felt Murphy slide a finger inside me and let a moan escape my lips. Connor quieted my moans by pressing his lips against mine. His thumb rubbed across my nipple. I felt my body start to crumble. I couldn't hold it back.

"Let it go," Connor whispered in my ear. At his command, I came hard. Murphy looked up at me and smiled.

"Was it good," he asked. I nodded and scooted myself to the head of the bed. Connor was lying beside me. Murphy pressed his lips to mine. I could taste myself on his lips.

"Wait," I whispered, "I need a minute." He chuckled and lay on the other side of me.

"Ya ok, Katie?" Murphy whispered.

"More than ok," I opened my eyes and looked from one brother to the other. I crossed my arms across my chest and gave them a puzzled look.

"Wha's wrong, Katie?" Connor asked.

"Well…" I smiled at them, "Here I am naked and both of you are still fully clothed. That doesn't seem fair to me."

"Aye, Katie," Connor laughed, "I guess it doesn't." I pulled up on his shirt and lifted it over his head. I smiled and kissed him softly on the lips. I turned to Murphy and pulled up on his shirt. I traced my fingers across the tattoo on his chest. His father's name on his heart. I smiled and kissed him on the chest. I let my hand trace across his abdomen. He caught his breath when I dipped my fingertips just below his waistband. I grazed my fingers across his hardening cock. I smiled up at him.

I rolled over and lay pressed my lips on the pulse in Connor's neck. I felt it quicken as I licked and sucked it. I gripped Murphy tightly in my hand. I heard him moan loudly as I started to stroke him. I kissed Connor's chest and dipped my other hand beneath his pants. I heard a groan escape his lips when I flicked my tongue on his nipple.

Murphy turned my over on my back and pressed his lips to mine. I felt his hand run down my stomach but stopped it before he could touch me again. I shook my head and kissed him fiercely on the lips. I found the button of his pants and tried shoving them down one handed. The other hand gripped Connor's erection tightly.

Murphy dropped his pants and shorts quickly to the ground. I fumbled with the button of Connor's. I rose to my knees with Murphy's lips still pressed to mine. Connor's lips found my neck. I felt his hardened cock pressed against me. I felt it rub against my mound. I nodded granting him access. His hands gripped my hips as he slid inside me. I cried out against Murphy's lips. My hand still stroking him. He slid his hand between us again. He circled his thumb around my engorged clit. Connor slammed inside me again. I felt tingles through my toes. Never had I felt pleasure this intense. I clenched my hand around Murphy and my core around Connor as I came again. I felt Murphy's own building. He cried out loudly when he came in my hand. I felt Connor pulsate and he came hard inside me. The three of us collapsed onto the bed in heated exhaustion.

I pressed my ear against Connor's chest. I could still hear his heart beating fast. I smiled and kissed him softly. I turned and listened to Murphy's labored breathing. I kissed him softly. I lay there in a tangle of arms and legs drifting into a well-deserved sleep.

I awoke still smiling from the night before. I reached out and found myself alone in bed. I looked around the room and it was empty. No sign of Murphy or Connor anywhere. Their clothes were gone. They were gone. I frantically dressed and found a note lying on the dresser.

It's better if you stay behind. It's not safe for you to be with us. We didn't know how else to do this.

Grá i gcónaí, Connor and Murphy

(Love always)

I felt my face grow red with anger. How could they leave me behind like this? I pulled the door open. How long ago did they leave? I searched the lot. Connor's car still in the spot where I parked it. I heard voices coming through the door of the adjoining room.

"How far are we going to take this, Da?" I heard Connor's familiar voice say. I grabbed the handle of the door.

"The question is not how far. The question is do you posses the constitution, the depth of faith to go as far as needed?" Noah responded. The knob turned in my hand and opened. I was standing face to face with their father. "Come in, lass." Noah lead me into the room. Connor was laid across the bed. Murphy sat on the edge. They both looked at me. They seemed terrified. My ears still burning from anger, I clenched and unclenched my fists at my sides. Murphy stood first and took a few steps closer to me. I couldn't contain my anger any longer. I swung my fist at Murphy's unsuspecting face. He fell to the floor. I looked to Connor who had sat up and was looking from me to his brother lying on the ground.

"I can't believe she fucking hit me," Murphy shouted sitting up on the floor. Connor started laughing. "Shut it! It fuckin' hurt."

"It's not up to either of you to keep me safe," I glared at Connor whose laughter subsided. "I can take care of myself."

"Caitlyn," Noah said. I relaxed hearing the sound of my full name. "Do you possess the kind of faith to go where ever this takes us?"

"Yes, I do," I answered.

"Then join us," he answered. I nodded and sat in the chair beside him.

"Da?" Connor inquired. He looked from me to his father. This was a battle he knew he had lost.

"Let me see ya hand lass," Noah pressed his fingers over my knuckles making sure nothing was damaged. "Looks like my son's hard head didn't do any damage." I clenched and unclench my fist.

"I think it will be ok," I said.

"I can't fucking believe it," Murphy said, "She hit me and Da is making sure she's ok."

"Maybe next time you won't be such a pussy," I responded, "A note really?"

"It was Connor's idea," Murphy stated.

"And that's a dick move to blame your brother," I replied. That was the last thing I said to them for hours. We packed up our things. I gathered the keys to take back to the man at the desk.

"I hope you and your brothers enjoyed your stay," the man behind the desk leered at me.

"Aye, we did," I said putting back on my fake Irish accent. "Ya ha' ya self a nice day."

"Was that supposed to be Irish?" Connor smiled, "I thought ya were gonna tell him they're magically delicious."

"Fuck you," I responded and walked past him. I grabbed my bags and walked shoulder to shoulder with Noah. Connor and Murphy walked behind us.

I climbed the steps to the train and reached to load my bags in the overhead compartment. I caught my breath when Connor pressed against me and pushed it up.

"I'm sorry, Katie," he whispered. I stopped myself before I melted again against him.

"It's going to take more than that, Connor," I pushed past him to my seat.

"Wha' is it going to take?" he asked.

"I don't know but when I figure it out I'll let you know," I responded. Connor dropped on his knees in front of me.

"I know I fucked up," he said loudly, "Forgive me please."

"You're drawing attention to yourself," I said softly, "Stop."

"I don' care. I love ya," Connor shouted.

"Stop, people are looking," I responded. "Someone may have seen the news."

"Forgive me, Katie and I will," he smiled.

"Ok, fine, sit the fuck down," I said.

"Ya sure ya forgive me?" he asked. "Ya don't sound very convincing."

"I forgive you, ok," I pleaded with him to sit down. He pressed his lips on mine and couldn't help it. I forgot all the anger and pain I had felt. I deepened the kiss. The applause from the other people in the car distracted me.

"Looks like ya are catching their attention now, Katie," Connor smiled and took his seat across from mine.

"She always had ours," Murphy added.

"Where are we heading?" I asked.

"New York," Noah answered.

"Lot's of baddies there," I said pushing my sunglasses farther up my nose.
