Tiny (25 page)

“They fucking died. We saw
to that.” Snitch yelled, spitting onto the ground. “Over twenty years ago you
sent me out of his fucking town, and I had to start again from the beginning. Now
it’s time for me to take it the fuck back.”

Tiny glanced over Snitch’s
shoulder seeing what he was waiting for. The rumbling of bikes sounded first.
Devil was on his way, and Snitch was living his last few moments.

“Snitch, what do we do?” one
of his men asked.

“This town is ours. The
Skulls are fucking dead, and I’m going to take this bitch as my whore and use
her like I used that slut on that night.” Tiny tensed as he saw Snitch smirk.
“I saw you that night. The disgust on your face at what was happening. I had my
gun trained on you the whole time. I thought about taking you out, but then I
thought of a better game of making you rape a woman for your life.”

Tiny knew none of that had ever
happened. He’d gotten away before Snitch could destroy him.

“The slut screamed so
fucking good. I wonder if your woman knows how to scream just like I like.” One
of his hands went between her thighs. Tiny tensed, ready to fuck up his whole
plan.

Eva jerked out of Snitch’s
arms, rounded on him and slapped her palm across his face. “Don’t you fucking
touch me, you fucking
pig.
” She spat into his face.

Wiping the spittle from his
face, Snitch backhanded her, sending her to the ground.

Hold steady. Don’t fuck this up. You can cut his balls
off and feed them to him all in good time.

A kick landed to her stomach,
and Tiny couldn’t handle it anymore. Charging at Snitch, he forced the other
man to the ground. He’d do everything to keep Eva safe. The sound of the bikes was
growing louder. It was only a matter of time before they got there.

Snitch landed a jab to his
cheek sending Tiny down to the ground. He wasn’t stunned too long before he
kicked Snitch in the stomach. They tumbled together, landing blows to the
stomach, chest, and face. Tiny ended on top of him with Snitch facing the
floor.

“Do you know why you’re
going to lose this fight, Snitch?” Tiny asked. Snitch struggled but didn’t give
the order for his men to intervene. He heard Eva gasping in pain. This fucker
was going to know torture before he killed him.

“You’re a fucking ass.”
Jerking Snitch’s head up at the approaching bikes, Tiny forced him to look.

“You’ve never been a good
leader, Snitch. Your men will desert you faster than a fucking woman who knows
the scent of death. My men are fucking loyal to me. They know what I want, and
they fight for me. They know I’m the fucking boss.”

Standing up, Tiny released
Snitch in time to see
all of his
men climb off the
back off the bikes of Chaos Bleeds. Lash and Nash were the first men to
approach. They were carrying crowbars by their sides. Tiny saw the anger on the
men’s faces. They wanted revenge, and it was so close they could probably taste
it.

Devil climbed off the bike
with Murphy behind him. Tiny tensed when he saw the bandage across half of
Murphy’s face. He’d not been able to find him. How the fuck had Devil found
him? Murphy looked the worse for wear.

“Don’t worry, Tiny, I’m
still fucking pretty,” Murphy said, holding a gun by his side.

Smiling, Tiny was so fucking
relieved to see the other man. Now was not the time to ask questions. Snitch
kicked him in the leg, sending him down.

Tiny heard the fighting
start as he lashed out at Snitch.

Snitch sliced down, catching
his arm. Tiny growled, feeling the sting of the blade.

Gunshots went off, but the
only sounds he heard were the sounds of Snitch’s men, failing. The Skulls were
hard and wouldn’t let the other biker club get away with it. Also, they had
Chaos Bleeds on their side. Devil and his men made a hard impenetrable wall.

Kicking out, Tiny threw
Snitch off him. He dove on the other man sending them both to the floor.

Snitch landed a hit to his
temple.
Tiny’s
head hit the floor dazing him from the
impact. Turning, he saw Snitch with a gun pointed at his temple. This was the
end. Tiny didn’t want to die. There was so much for him to live for, but he
wasn’t going to beg this bastard for his life.

Staring down the barrel of
the gun, Tiny waited, determined not to run from death.

****

Murphy was alive. Eva felt a
brief glimpse of happiness, which ended quickly as she watched the fighting
around her. Every part of her body ached. She never thought she’d be so happy
at the sight of all the men, but even bruised, she was happy to see them.
Murphy’s bandaged face was even a pleasure to see.

Why hadn’t she been able to locate
him?

Turning around, she froze as
she caught sight of Snitch holding a gun pointed directly at
Tiny’s
head.

No, he was not going to die.
She would not let her man go so easily. It wasn’t happening. Eva screamed, but
the sound was drowned out by all the fighting. Out of the corner of her eye she
spotted the gun. Reaching out, she flicked the safety off. Her father and Tiny
had both taught her how to use a gun. Getting to her feet, she ran the several
steps to where Snitch stood over Tiny.

“I’m going to fuck her ten
times a fucking day, and every time I’m going to make her remember how I put a
bullet in you. She’ll be begging for my cock, and when she wants me I’ll
fucking kill her.” Snitch was sneering and gloating. His words made Eva feel
sick.

Her stomach turned, but she
kept the vomit inside. Raising her gun, she pressed it to Snitch’s temple.

“That’s my man,” Eva said.

“You’re not going to shoot
me,” Snitch said. She saw him tense. Not taking her eyes off her target, Eva
tensed, knowing the warm flush running over her was coming from what she was
about to do. She’d never killed anyone, and she was about to end a life right
now.

He’s going to kill you and your man. Kill him. Save Tiny.

“I’m going to shoot you.
Your biggest mistake, Snitch, was coming out of hiding.”

He turned, but it was too
late. She pulled the trigger and ended Snitch’s life. The bullet went through
his head, tearing out the back. Eva watched the body fall. Tiny kicked it off
him before the body collapsed on him.

The fighting had mellowed
down. Looking around her, holding the gun in her hand, Eva bent over and
vomited everything she’d eaten that day, coating the ground.

Tiny wrapped his arm around
her waist, rubbing her back as she hurled everything out.

I’ve killed a man. I’ve killed a man.

“I’ve got you, baby.”

She continued to throw up
until there was nothing left. Sinking against Tiny, she held on tightly to him,
needing the comfort only he could give. “He was going to kill you.”

“I know. You saved me, baby.
Thank you.” He stroked her back and hair. “I’m not going to kiss you until you
brush your teeth. Vomit breath is not what I want to remember.”

Eva laughed, slapping him on
the arm.

“Your woman is fucking hot,”
Devil said, walking closer. She looked at him over her shoulder. “Will you be
giving her away any time soon?”

“Not a chance, and if you
try I’ll cut your balls off,” Tiny said.

Devil put his hands up in
the air. “I’m taken, man. Got a bitch of my own
who’ll
be missing me, if she hasn’t taken off that is.” Devil whistled, rounding up
his men. “We’ll clean this shit up, and then we’ll be on the road.”

Tiny offered him the hand
that wasn’t wrapped tightly around her. “It’s a pleasure doing business with
you.” Devil shook his hand. She saw the smile on his face.

“It’s fantastic to have that
sick fuck in the ground. I wouldn’t miss it for the world.” She stayed by
Tiny’s
side while the men cleaned away the bodies. Tiny was
talking with all of his men.

She didn’t know how long
they were stood there until Tiny finally made his way over to her. Killer was
sat behind the wheel, tapping his fingers on it.

“Call the women. Tell them
to come to my house,” Tiny said, leaning into the car. Eva wrapped her arms
around his neck, holding him close. “How are you doing, baby?”

“I’m fine.” And she
was,
which bothered her. She’d taken a life and didn’t care.
Snitch was evil and was about to hurt her man.

“Devil and his boys are
going to give us a ride through town. They’re going to know The Skulls are
back.”

“This was your plan all
along?” Eva asked.

“Nah, this was Alex’s plan.
He knows what he’s doing.”

She smiled, running her hand
down his chest. “I couldn’t handle anything happening to you.”

Cupping her face, Tiny
pressed his lips to hers. “You’re still not getting tongue.”

Slapping him away, she
climbed into the car. Tiny moved in the front, and Killer headed out. All the
men had worked together to get rid of the evidence. Eva didn’t care about the
bodies. She imagined the men who stayed behind were going to take care of the
final clearance.

The journey to his house was
short. Eva held his hand not wanting to let go of the warmth he offered her.

“Everything is going to be
okay, baby,” Tiny said.

She believed him. The threat
hanging over The Skulls was finally gone. Now was a time for celebration rather
than being somber.

Tate rushed toward the car
as they pulled into the driveway. Tiny got out, and Eva stepped out behind him.
She watched Tate hit her father.

“What the fuck were you
thinking? You could have been killed. Where’s Murphy? I need to see him,” Tate
said, sobbing. Angel and Sophia stood by the door with Kelsey, pale. “Where’s
Eva? Someone took her.”

“I’m here,
sweety
,” Eva said, smiling over
Tiny’s
shoulder. In the next breath, Tate had her arms wrapped around Eva, squeezing
her.

Within half an hour the
sounds of bikes started to get louder. Eva stood next to Tiny as Devil escorted
Murphy into the driveway.

Tate’s hand went to her
stomach as he eased off the bike. “Hey, baby.”

“Murphy?”

“Yeah, I know I’m a little
fucked up right now, but I still love you. You’ll just have to deal with me
being a little scarred.” Tate rushed forward, grabbing the lapels of his
jacket.

“You fucking idiot, Murphy.
I love you. I don’t give a fuck what you look like. I love you.” She went to
cup his face but stopped. “I thought the worst.”

“It’s going to take more
than an exploding bike to be rid of me, woman. I’m sticking around, and I’ve
got a baby to help
raise
.”

Eva’s heart went out to the
young couple. Devil walked to them. “I found him coming out of a hospital about
ten miles out that way.” He pointed east. “He couldn’t remember the number to
call Alex. His face is scarred and I think burned. Murphy wanted to come and
see his woman.”

“Thank you,” Tiny said. “I
couldn’t stand to come home without him.”

“Thank you for putting our
past in the ground.
Me
and my boys are out of here.”
Devil waved, leaving them alone.

Staying in
Tiny’s
arms, she watched Nash and Lash run to their women.
They wrapped their arms around their women. Angel crumbled against Lash. She
saw Lash whisper against her ear, stroking her back.

“I’ve got you, Angel. I’m
never leaving you. You’re the reason I made it back.”

“Don’t leave me,” Angel
said.

Angel and Lash’s reunion was
sweet and tender. Sophia jumped up against Nash, wrapped her legs around his
waist, and refused to let go.

“Before you all leave I just
want to say that we’ll be bringing the bodies back of Gunn and Time. We’ll have
a burial and honor their memory along with all of those who have fallen,” Tiny
said.

All of his men were somber
at the news of their two fallen men. A few minutes of silence passed before
they started moving.

The men walked into the
house, and Tiny took her hand, leading her away to the Fort Wills cemetery.

“The boys will be waiting
for us,” Eva said, wiping her mouth and finding blood.

“Stink has gone to get
Sandy. She’ll be patching us up, and Tate will take care of everyone. She needs
to keep busy, or she’ll freak out on us.” Tiny walked around three rows of
grave stones before he stopped in front of a modest angel. There were no
markings besides the words, “left this life too soon”.

“What’s this?” Eva asked.

“This is the girl who saved
my life,” Tiny said. “If I hadn’t seen what those fucking animals were doing I
would have ended up like them.”

Turning to him, Eva wound
her hands around his neck. “You becoming like Snitch and the rest of them is
not possible. You’re too good to let something like that happen.”
