His free hand was pointed straight at the head of a Black Skulls member. The guy was pressed up against a run down brick wall, with his hands up while Girth stood in front of him. This was quickly becoming a common occurrence and I suppressed a smile.
King and I jumped off our bikes.
“You hurt, man?” King yelled at Girth, while I slipped my gun out of my jeans. We joined Girth, pointing our guns at the asshole against the wall.
“Just my shoulder,” Girth grunted, and there was blood streaming from where he was clutching it with his other hand. I could see that arm shaking a little, and I met his eyes and tipped my head.
“We got this,” I said and Girth lowered his gun.
I stepped towards the guy, who was snarling at us. He looked like a caged wild animal, but he was outnumbered now, so he couldn’t really pull anything.
There was a backpack lying on the ground beside him.
“What’s in that?” I growled at him and kicked the backpack with my feet. It felt heavy, like it was filled with something metallic.
The guy said nothing and I heard King click his gun, ready to shoot at a moment’s notice. I crouched down and unzipped the backpack.
It was fucking full of guns. I exchanged looks with King and Girth.
“You thought you could ride through our territory, with a bag full of fucking guns?” I barked at him, and the guy spat at my face. I grabbed his collar and then punched my knuckles into his jaw. He shuddered, but took the punch well. When I stood up, he was wiping blood from his nose.
“Who said it’s yours motherfucker?” I heard him say, as I pulled the backpack up and swung it over my shoulder. There had to be at least a dozen of them in there!
I turned to him, shook my head and then turned back towards my bike. This was not going to end well for him.
“Gonna go deposit it at the club. Girth, go back and get stitched up. Call my mother,” I said and then thumped him on his back. “Damn she’s gonna be pissed, two shots in one night.”
With the backpack on my shoulders, I jumped back on my bike and revved up the engine. When King and I exchanged looks, I nodded my head.
With my helmet back on, and my engine roaring, I rode away, back in the direction of the Lucky Lady; but I heard the sound of the gun fire crisp and clear in the air. Two birds had just been killed with one stone. Elwood’s orders had been carried out, and King had just got his way.
What do they say about love and war? Anything is fair…
Chapter 23
Ava
I hadn’t seen Commando all day and since speaking to him over the phone the previous night, I was anxious to see him again.
I worked my shift, my fingers tingling every time the doors of the bar burst open. Commando hadn’t returned, even when it was time for me to leave.
“Have a good night, kid,” Elwood called out to me, while he ate a massive burger at his table by the window. I smiled at him, as I walked out and just when I pushed open the door, my nose bumped into Commando’s expansive chest. I gasped with surprise, and looked up to find him staring down at me, a glimmer of a grin on his face, his cheeks dimpled, his jaws chiseled and sharp.
“Ready to go?” he said and I crinkled my brows at him.
“Yeah, I was just leaving for Charity’s place,” I said and he reached for the books in my hands. I was hoping to get a chance to study a little tonight, but the bar had kept me busy.
“I’ve made you some spaghetti. It’s back in my apartment,” Commando said, tucking the books under his armpit. My eyes widened, and I could feel my cheeks burning. This guy was just full of surprises. I wouldn’t have expected him to be able to boil water if he had to. How had he pulled off a spaghetti dinner?
“With meatballs?” I asked, arching an eyebrow suspiciously at him.
“The works,” he said and we smiled at each other. Without waiting for a response, Commando turned to walk back towards his bike and I followed him.
“I have my entrance exam tomorrow,” I said and Commando stopped in his tracks, his eyes were searching my face. He was looking at me again, in that way he did so that I felt naked under his stare.
“I’ll take you,” he said and I licked my lips. I wondered if he could tell that I was nervous about it.
“I haven’t had much time to study,” I said, blushing again and Commando stepped towards me, looking over my body with his dangerous blue eyes.
