My eyes shoot towards Prez and his eyes widen, looking at me before the scowl returns to his face. He’s wondering, like the rest of us, what the fuck she’s on about. According to Wire, our security guy, he’s only been here the past two nights.
“-if you could just let me call one of my brothers to come pick him up, I can take him back to my place and interrogate him, get my business all buttoned up, and then let you know what he says. I could even do a full written report and everything -”
“Enough!” Prez roars at this random woman who lets out a huff before planting her ass in the seat across from Prez.
“First off, what the fuck were you doing in my compound, little girl?” Prez sneers at her.
“Little girl? I am not a little girl. I’m fully grown and yeah, I might be short, but Jesus, not everyone can be giant-sized.” She says, gesturing towards my brother’s bulk with her hand. Rider lets out a snort and I see Prez quickly narrow his eyes at him, essentially shutting him up. For a split second, I see his lips twitch before resetting his face and glaring at her again. I know that even though he’s being intimidating as hell, there is no way we would hurt this woman. It’s just not in us. Whether or not she knows that, she’s not letting on. But given that this is the most unusual woman I’ve ever come across, I’m not really too sure what I should be expecting. Wire spotted her about an hour ago on our cameras and that was only because he was following the guy we noticed last night. He called me and Prez in to watch along, and it wasn’t long before we noticed something odd. Originally, we thought the dude had brought a partner to help him do whatever it is he was here to do. However, after about 10 minutes we realized our guest didn’t know he had a tail.
We never thought it was a woman, just a small guy, but his stalking skills were pretty tight. His movements were not so much. At one point we wondered if he was high as he’d bumped into a few things along the way. However, the ability to stay hidden was still well done. Instead of coming across a “little ninja dude” as Rider described them, we’ve nabbed a slightly odd little woman who I swear muttered “Smells like Pop in here” when we walked in.
“Why the fuck are you here? I’m not asking again!” Prez roars out. He’s now leaning over his desk, towering over her small body, glaring down at her and she seems to be staring at… his nose?
“I thought I told you why? I’m after the guy you guys nabbed about 10 minutes ago. Been watching him for the last seven days through your monitors and figured he was going to make a move tonight. If I was going to catch him, then I needed to grab him now. Simple really,” She folds her hands in her lap, still staring at my brother and Prez, but not in the eye, still slightly off.
“No, not fucking simple! What do you mean you’ve been watching him through our monitors? How the hell did you get into the compound in the first place?”
“Ooohh compound! That’s what it’s called. I’ve been calling it headquarters.” She shakes her head at herself, her long messy curls bouncing all around her.
“Anyway, that stuff was easy. I just rigged the far side alarm to not go off, and I walked in through the back gate.” she shrugs her shoulders, her dark hair bouncing as she does. I watch my brother run his massive paw down his face before flopping back in his chair.
“Fuck me. Take her to one of the guest rooms and make sure there’s a lock on the outside of the door. Put her there while we go talk to Wire and figure out why the fuck he didn’t pick up on any of this. Jesus Christ.‘’ He motions with his hand and I grab her soft arm and pull her to standing. Even though she’s dressed in what looks to be tactical pants and a bulky hoodie, my entire hand almost wraps right around her bicep. She doesn’t put up a fight, but she does look up at me.
“Right, so after you lock me up, you’ll have a chat and then you’ll let me out and give me the prisoner? Oh yeah, and you might not want to keep me too long, otherwise, my brothers will get all weird about it”
I stare down at her for a bit. I notice this time she’s looking directly at me, with the most golden whiskey eyes I’ve ever seen. That added to her long, espresso-coloured hair and her full lips. She looks like a slightly sexier version of the girl next door. Fuck, I really need to get laid if I’m using words like “espresso-coloured” to describe her goddamn hair.
I let out a sigh. “Listen tiny, I don’t know who your brothers are and I don’t care. All I care about is my brothers and you’ve put them on edge and even maybe in danger.” As soon as I say this her eyes go huge, even bigger than normal and she looks horrified.
“What! I would never put anyone in danger!” She slips out of my hold and shuffles away from me, heading further down the hall.
“Oh my god, disarming the alarm!” She suddenly spins and comes barrelling toward me again. I brace myself as she looks like she’s not going to stop moving anytime soon.
“Shit, I’m so sorry! If you take me back out there, I’ll get it going straight away, shit shit shit!” She continues mumbling the word shit as I guide her down the hall and into the room before her head snaps up, “Smells like green apples in here. I like it.” What is it with this woman and smells? Anyway, it seems to have gotten her out of her thoughts for a quick minute.
“Listen, you wait here and we’ll be back soon.”
“OK, but promise to put the alarm back on to make everyone safe, ok?” I frown as I take her in, she really seems preoccupied with safety. I give her a quick nod before closing and locking the door and heading to Wire’s room.
Prez turns to look at me. “You good man? Shit, she was a live one, wasn’t she?” he chuckles away to himself. “I thought we were definitely going to crack one part there. I can’t tell if she’s nuts or just eccentric “
“She’s definitely not nuts,” Wire breaks in. “She’s right. He has been watching us for the past seven days. From all different points of the compound, both outside and inside the gates. I’ve been through all our tech and found where she got into the monitors as well. This is high-level work. We would never have detected it if she hadn’t mentioned it. She’s good, really good. Even getting through the alarm took fucking skill. She say why she was here or what her name is?”
Wire spins in his fancy as fuck ergonomic seat to look at us. All the brothers hate that chair, trying to assemble that fucker with 7 brothers who refuse to read the instructions almost finished the MC before we even started.
“She’s said loads of shit, but from what I can gather she’s been after him for a while, wants us to bag him up and send him with her for “interrogation” I use air quotes.
“Yeah, she seems pretty fucking adamant,” Rider adds. Prez rubs his beard, which he does when he’s thinking, and because it’s a habit he picked up years ago when he was the only bastard who could grow facial hair.
“I say we let her sit and stew for a bit. See if she’s a little more receptive to giving us some info. Also, it’ll give us time to ask our other guest a few questions,” he looks at me. Being the Enforcer, this falls into my category, and it’s something I enjoy.
“Oh, I should probably warn you brother, she did say not to keep her too long, otherwise her brothers will worry,” I let him know, then we all look at each other before laughing.
“She sounds like a loose unit. I can’t wait to meet her,” Wire chuckles whilst turning back to his monitors. We’re just about to head out when Wire clears his throat. “Um guys, might wanna postpone that wee chat with our other guest. I’m guessing the woman’s brothers have arrived.”
Me and Prez turn to look at the monitors to see three dark-colored SUVs all pull up in a line outside the gates.
“Fuck,” Prez mutters under his breath. “Tell the prospect to open the gate; Wire, Rhodie, and Rider, you’re with me. Let’s go meet the family.”
