“I don’t know if I can,” she whimpered fighting against my eagerness. I looked down at her pants and they were stained a dark red all around her crotch.
That’s when I heard the rumble of motorcycles in the distance. Lane’s eyes widened in fear. I tried not to mirror her expression, not knowing if these were our boys or theirs.
“We have to go, Lane,now.” I needed to be strong for her, I needed her to feel like someone was in control of the situation.
She nodded apprehensively but came with me as I pulled her down the stairs. “The kitchen, it has a back door,” she said before she let out a loud cry and fell to her knees, pulling me down with her. We both stumbled the last few steps. I landed on my arm and I held back an agonizing cry.
Tears automatically poured from my eyes, but at the sound of heavy footsteps, I managed to drag myself and Lane across the floor and into the small separate kitchen.
Razor blades felt like they were shooting through my arm and it was taking everything I had inside to keep it all together. Lane was on her knees, curled in on herself, the both of us doing whatever possible to keep the pain at bay.
I knew that for this to work that we would have to wait until the men came inside before we could head out. We couldn’t risk meeting them half way.
“We need to hide,” I whispered, nudging her softly with my foot.
Nodding, she pointed at the cupboard next to me. “They don’t have many pots, get in that one. I’ll climb in under the sink.”
I didn’t object. We both dragged our bodies, contorting them into the small cupboards.
Just as I pulled it shut, I heard the front door slam open. “Edge!” I recognized Sith’s deep baritone. It made the hairs on my body stand on end. I hoped that us sliding through the house hadn’t left too much of a blood trail and that they would all head upstairs in search of Lane first, giving us maybe a minute to head out the kitchen door.
It was a risk. I wasn’t sure where it would lead to, whether we could get out the front or whether we would be enclosed in a backyard.
I hadn’t exactly planned for this.
“Fuck!” I heard him yell, obviously closer than before. Probably just spotting Edge’s crumbled body. “The bitch is still here, fucking find her!”
My car, it was still parked out the front. Of course, they would know I was here. I needed to get Lane out now, she was most important. Her and her baby.
There were loud footsteps on the staircase, and I used the noise to pull myself out of the cupboard. I shimmied over to where Lane was hidden away and popped the door just an inch. “I’m going to distract them. You need to get out while I take their attention away.”
“You can’t—”
“Just do it, Lane,” I growled softly.
I pulled myself up using the counter top for support, steadying my legs which had been so weak. The room spun, but I managed to make it across to the doorway which led to the other room.
“Help,” I cried softly.
Footsteps raced on the floor above me and thundered down the stairs. “Lily?” Sith’s voice sounded both surprised and suspicious. I took note that Edge’s body still lay unmoving next to the sofa.
“Men came. They took the girl upstairs.” I steadied myself against the wall, the world was beginning to tilt. “Did this…” I lifted my arm, “…and that…” I pointed to Edge’s body.
“Who?” Sith growled stepping a little closer. Rip and Mal stood behind him, their faces blank so I couldn’t be entirely sure if they were buying my words.
“Men, wearing leather like yours, but different.” I acted like I was trying to remember. “Brothers by something.”
“Brothers by Blood?” he asked, leaning back a little.
My brain was fuzzy and light.
“Yeah,” I hummed, holding my hand to my head and going with it. “Ow!” I cried out loudly, followed by groaning as if I was in immense pain. I hoped his would cover any noise from the kitchen.
They didn’t move to help me, but I never expected them to. They were callous and uncaring bastards, and they deserved whatever was about to happen to them when Blizzard and the others got here.If they got here.
“I think I need a hospital.” That wasn’t a lie, I think I did. But my body was running on adrenaline at this stage, I could break down later.
“Strange they would do this to you considering they’re friends of yours,” he said casually. “Didn’t their VP visit you just a few days ago at your apartment?”
Judge had sworn that there was no one watching my place, but obviously, someone had slipped by unnoticed.
He stepped toward me and I plastered myself against the wall.
“I don’t like liars, Lily.” He said my name like it was a curse word.
He knew I was a fake.
He reached out and his thick fingers wrapped around my throat. The air was already being cut off and spots were appearing in my vision.
“Now let’s have a little talk.”
