All eyes turned to Alistair, who dodged Charlies's stare. "Katie spilled everything about what went down with Malcolm at the border..."
Everyone understood that besides Lucas and Alan, Malcolm was hands down the most vicious person in Harold's circle.
Word was Malcolm had taken out at least fifty lives, maybe a hundred. The man was a straight-up killing machine.
Street talk claimed Malcolm never stuck around Clearwater because Harold couldn't risk keeping him close. Too worried Malcolm might snap completely. The guy was pure danger.
Charlies had it bad for Malcolm and wouldn't tolerate a single harsh word about him.
Any time he caught someone trash-talking Malcolm behind his back, rage would flood through him and he'd be ready to throw down, consequences be damned.
Charlies's folks knew exactly how he felt about Malcolm. Apart from not being ready to accept them officially tying the knot, they'd pretty much given their blessing to the relationship.
