The man’s eyes widen, and then he throws his head back and laughs.“You don’t know?They killed Daisy for hurting Isla,” he pauses, and then adds, “I mean, no one has found her body, but she hasn’t been heard from.She’s missing.Presumed dead.”
“That doesn’t mean the Serpents did it,” I huff.
He rolls his eyes and grunts.“How do they get all these sweet, hot, naïve bitches?Well, soon you’ll be ours.We’ll be good to you, I promise.”
“I highly doubt that.”I sigh, my eyes going to the window when I see a shadow cross it.
Was that one of the men?
I don’t look in that direction again and keep making small talk with ‘Shame,’ which the guy tells me is his road name.
Perfect name for him, really.
Ten minutes later, and it all happens too fast.
Haze and Suit storm into my room, shooting Shame in the head.Suit comes over and gives me a quick once-over.“You’re okay?”
I nod and lift my cuffed hand.Suit pulls out a little tool from his pocket, breaks open the lock, then lifts me into his arms.
“Ghost?”
“Meeting with his father.We thought he might try to renege on the deal, so we traced his phone.”
“Let’s get her out of here,” Haze calls out, protecting Suit’s back as we leave what I can now see is an old hospital.
I’m then placed in a truck and driven the hell out of there.
“Are we going to get Ghost?”I ask, rubbing my wrist.
“No, we are getting you back to the clubhouse,” Haze explains, stepping on the gas.“Ghost will kill us if we don’t get you home safe.”
“Are they going to be safe?”
“They’ll be fine,” Suit promises, sending a text message.“We’ll send all the extra men to where they are.He has heaps of backup.”
“Okay,” I reply, but I’m still worried.
All I want is to be back in Ghost’s arms.
GHOST
“Where is she?”I ask Henry.His name is Arthur, but if that’s what he goes by now, then good for him.He looks so much older than the last time I saw him.His face is worn and wrinkled, but his eyes are still the same cold ones I remember so well.
He’s a few inches shorter than I am.The man I once thought was so big and terrifying is nothing but a pathetic waste of space.Maybe even he knew that, which is why he tried to make everyone around him feel even smaller than he is.
“Where’s the money?”he fires back, smirking.
He has about eight members of Insanity MC surrounding him.I’m guessing hired muscle.
I don’t care how many live or die today, but the man in front of me?He’s not going to ever come near my woman again.
I’m on edge right now.I want to beat the shit out of him, but I’m trying to stay in control.
“She’s not here, is she?”Prez scowls, looking at the van behind them.“We should have known better than to trust the word of Insanity MC.”
They pull out their guns, but we draw ours faster.“I guess we’re at an impasse,” Henry says, shifting on his feet.“But if you kill me, I’ve told the men who have your old lady to do whatever they want with her.”
“Ghost,” Bones suddenly mutters, and I turn my head to him.He moves closer to me, and says in a low tone, “She’s safe.”
