Chapter 37

 

Creed

“Let me see it.” Jada snaps, before I slowly reach out my hand to
her. She turns the bathroom faucet on and cleans it off with the
warm water.

“What’s happening here, Creed?” She knows it’s off. Hell,
everyone in this clubhouse knows it’s off.

“It feels like we’re goin’ down instead of up. We make changes,
we move on, but then somethin’ yanks us the fuck back. We’re
drownin’ in the hell that Sharp created. We can’t get the fuck
out of his shadow.” My hand jerks when Jada pours some
medicine over it.

“Sorry. It’s going to sting.” Holding my hand still, she finishes
before wrapping it in a bandage.
“What can I do? How can I help?” Snapping my head up to look
at her, I don’t know what to do. Do I scream at her? Hell, she
runs every time something doesn’t go her way.

“Jada, you can trust in me. You have no fuckin’ trust for me
anymore. You run off after every little thing that happens. I
need my old lady to be stronger than that. Fuck! This shit kills
me, and then to not have you? It’s the fuckin’ worst feelin’ in
the world.” Jumping off the toilet where I was sitting, I head
into the bedroom.

“That’s not fair!” Spinning around on her, I almost lose it.

“It’s not? I have seen things Jada. Things that are burned into
my motherfuckin’ brain! The things I’ve done to people, lives
I’ve taken! I’m a cold hearted person! You want to talk about
fair? Jason fuckin’ died and left me, too! He left me with nothin’.
No way to turn in life. This is it; this is what I’ve become!”
Throwing my hands out to the sides, I scream at her. What’s it
going to take for her to understand this shit?

“You think you’re the only one that’s lost?” Her screams mean
nothing to me. We’ve been over this before.

“I do the best I can for you! You’ve lived through hell too Jada, I
know, but fuck! You don’t know the half of what I’ve done! The
way the eyes of the people’s lives I took stare into me when I try
to sleep. The way their beatin’ hearts stop within my hands!
YOU. DON’T. KNOW!” Walking around her, I go into the
bathroom slamming the door closed.
I lean my head against the cool door as I try to calm every
demon that pulls at my soul. They’re with me all the time. I
can’t get rid of them. No matter how hard I try to make my past
go away, it lingers.

My heart screams to be free from the hold that those demons
have on it. It begs and pleads, but they never let go.

 

I turn the shower on and step in as soon as it’s warm enough. I
let the water fall around me before the tears come.

 

I didn’t hear the door open but there she is. Jada climbs in the
shower wrapping her arms around me.

“I hear you cry. I know you don’t want me to make a big deal
about it, so I don’t. It hurts me to see you like that. I thought if I
just stayed away things would change.” Leaning down I capture
her lips with mine. I’ve had enough talking for one day. I want to
enjoy being with her right now.

Lifting her, I push her against the cool tiles of the shower before
sliding inside of her. My dick responds to every little moan and
groan that comes from her mouth.

I grip her hips in my hands thrusting into her. I don’t want to
take out the rage I feel inside on her. I focus on my love for her.
Rocking my hips into her, her lips crash into mine.

She feels so perfect and when I’m inside of her, nothing in the
world matters to me.
“I love you.” Whispering against her lips, I pick up the pace. My
dick slams into every wall she has inside of her before I can feel
her body tense up.

“I love you too.” A few more hard thrusts and we come
together. Just how I need us to be forever. Together.
Chapter 38

 

Ryker

Bouncing up and down, I can’t control myself. I’m so amped up
for this run. I want nothing more than to find some of those
Dusts’ assholes in that warehouse too. I’d be happy as fuck to
take them out.

“You goin’ to do that the whole day?” Torch slaps my shoulder
laughing. Hell, the way I feel right now, I might do it for the next
month!

“Yeah, this shit gets my blood goin’. I love it.” The smile on my
face is downright devilish and I know it. I don’t know what it is
about death and blood that sends me over the edge, but it’s
been that way for a long fucking time.
“Let’s move!” Creed circles his finger in the air, signaling us to
move out behind him.

In perfect formation we all file out as we make the short trip to
the warehouse.

What to do with the kid once we get in there hasn’t stopped
running through my mind since the other day. I haven’t made a
final decision either. I decided to let it play out the way fate
wants it to.

Jersey had a hard time with me going on this run. She
understood where I was coming from with the way I felt. It’s
hard to think that I might not have a place in this club after
today. This is the only life that I’ve known. The only protection
that I’ve ever had.

Pulling in, we all cut our bikes off as Joey positions the van. My
stomach is in knots as I walk around taking in the area.

“Your head right brother?” Tank slaps a hand on my shoulder. I
don’t need to look at him to know what he’s talking about
either.

“About as right as it
can
be.” I see him nod out of the corner of
my eye, but I make no attempt to actually look at him. I don’t
need to see the look in his eyes.

“What’s that about?” Torch passes me the joint he’s been
smoking. I take a long drag, savoring the feel of it burning
through my lungs.
“Nothin’. Just makin’ sure I’m ready.” Torch laughs before I blow
the smoke out of my mouth.

“When the hell are you
not
ready for this shit? You fuckin’
love
blood and guts brother.” Laughing along with him, I have to
agree there.

Creed rounds us up before he talks.

“We go in, we do our shit, and we get out. We take what we can
haul in the van, and we roll. Watch your asses. We don’t know
what kind of wirin’ these motherfuckers put up since we were
here last. Trip that shit, and I can
promise
, we won’t be taken
you home with us.” Looking around at the guys, they all smile.

They know the risks, we all do. We came into this club knowing
that we may never make it back out alive.

“Let’s move.” When Creed finishes speaking, I make my way to
the head of the group with Torch on my ass. It’s good to know
that he’s by my side. Torch is a complete fucking lunatic, but a
lunatic that I can trust with my life.

Making our way across the small field doesn’t take long. My
stomach knots up, and at first I think it’s because of the kid, but
there’s more, I can feel it.

Making entry into the warehouse was easy, too easy. I watch as
we advance into the shit hole. This place is
almost
as nasty as
the place I found Jersey in.
“Up.” Whispering to Torch, his eyes move to follow mine. I can
see the trip wires in place, and there are a shit ton of them.

Stopping, I crouch down and turn to motion to the guy’s behind
me. Once I see they all know what’s up there, I turn around and
start moving again.

I see the kid at a table not far from me. My heart is beating so
fast; I feel as if I’m going to explode. I’ve never felt this before
on a kill. It’s new, and I don’t
fucking
like it.

Sneaking up behind him, I grab the kid around the neck before
whispering in his ear.

 

“You scream, I shoot.” Nodding his head rapidly, I know he isn’t
going to make a sound.

 

As soon as the guy’s start moving in, the kid speaks.

“There’s more. In the back.” Tilting my head to look at him, I
assess his look. He isn’t lying, and we just walked into a
goddamn ambush.

Shots ring out all around me before I’m knocked back.

 

It all goes black.
Chapter 39

 

Tank

Shots ring out and echo through the warehouse. They came out
of nowhere. We all ducked and got behind anything that we
possibly could use as a shield.

“CREED!” Hollering, I need to make sure he’s ok. I saw Ryker go
down, but I couldn’t tell if he was hit or not.

 

My hearts ready to burst when I hear him.

 

“I’m good! Torch?” We wait through the shots until we hear it.

“HIT, BUT GOOD!” Only
he
would say he was hit, but good, crazy
fuck.
“Ryker’s down!” Yelling over the shots, I know we need to move
in. If we don’t, we are going to be on the losing end of this
battle.

“Get Ryker out! I’m flankin’ these motherfuckers!” Torch’s voice
booms through the warehouse before I catch a glimpse of him
moving. My eyes dart around trying to spot Ryker.

When I do see him, he’s lying there with the kid on top of him.

“Son of a bitch.” Growling, I pull out my other gun and stand. I
start blasting away at anything that moves. I can see Torch off
to the side taking guys out left and right. They outnumber us,
but I can’t figure out how.

They were a smaller club than we were. There’s no way in
hell
that Rit patched in that many people.

 

Sliding across the floor to where Ryker is laying, I drop onto my
knees. I look for any signs that he’s been shot.

 

“What the
fuck
? Tank, you smell
that?”
When I hear Creed
screaming, I sniff. Fuck
me
!

 

“It’s gas boys! Get Ryker and pull the fuck back! I’ll hold them
off!” Torch yells before I start to shake Ryker slightly.

“Come on brother. Jersey will kill me if I don’t get your ass
home.” Ryker grunts but doesn’t open his eyes. There’s a lot of
blood coming from the back of his head.

“CREED!” Within seconds of my yelling Creed’s next to me.
“Fuck man!”

 

“Get the kid. I got Ryker.” Creed drags the kid up and hoists him
onto his back, as I do the same with Ryker.

“Son of a
bitch
you need to stop workin’ out.” As if he can hear
me, it’s true. This asshole feels like a solid 180 pounds of pure
fucking muscle.

“RUN!” Torch screams over the noise that echoes through here.
It’s so fucking loud, my ears are ringing.

With Ryker on my back, I push myself harder toward the door.
As soon as my feet touch the earth outside an explosion rocks
the ground beneath me.

I’m thrown through the air forcing my grip on Ryker to fail. I lose
him right before I slam into the hard earth below me.

My back burns and my head spins. Blinking rapidly, I try to make
out my surroundings. I see Joey leaning over someone, but all I
hear is a buzzing in my ears.

Joey looks over at me, his mouth’s moving, but I’m in a
complete haze.

 

Chapter 40

 

Creed

 

Because shit couldn’t get any worse, I roll over and look around
to see Joey standing over someone.

 

“Who is it?” Shaking the dizziness I feel away, I try to stand but
stumble.

 

“Stay down Creed! I’ll get you in a minute.” Joey screams as he
rushes around. My head feels like it’s going to explode.

“Fuck off! Where’s Tank?” Blinking rapidly, I look around on the
ground. I see Tank a few feet over, and try to stumble my way
to him.
