Sonny startled awake as his phone beeped again. He groaned and made a face at the taste in his mouth. He’d been chain smoking and drinking in his seat at the head of the table before he must have finally passed out from exhaustion. His mouth was cottony and stale tasting and ran his tongue along his teeth and made a disgusted face again. His clenched grip on his cell phone hadn’t lessened, even in sleep, and there were deep grooves in his palm that he stretched his hand to try to release. His phone beeped again to let him know that the battery was dying and he took a moment to lean back in his chair and press the heel of his hands against his eyes. They were gritty and dry and he wiped hard to clear them from the sleep crusted in the corners. He felt disgusting, probably smelled disgusting, but it was the least of his concerns.
Hauling himself up out of his chair he stretched with his fingers reaching for the ceiling above him. Now that he was awake the air in the room felt stuffy, like a tomb, and with another glance back at the gavel sitting by his spot at the head of the table he turned to exit. Nick hadn’t been able to help narrow down the location with Diego yesterday and as Sonny drifted more and more into being fully awake his anxiety became to climb again. He couldn’t get the sound of her screams out of his head. Years of being together and enduring challenges side by side could never have prepared himself for not only the terror, but sheer pain in her voice.
Just as he got belly up to the bar Charlie breezed in the club house door. Matty startled awake from his place where he had been dozing with his head pillowed on his hands, already reaching for his gun and aiming it before Charlie had even said a word. Matt was the only person Sonny knew who could go straight from being completely asleep to completely awake instantly and a faint smile played at his lips. Matty waited another beat before lowering his gun and rolled his eyes before holstering it and leaning back in his seat. He gave Sonny a concerned look and reached over to firmly cup his shoulder.
So famn good.
