"Jesus," I mutter, scrubbing my hand down my face.
The second we're back at the house, we head to our rooms to dress in our 'uniform.' Ten minutes later we're standing in the entryway, all head to toe in black and looking like we're about to go rob a bank.
To be fair, we might be.
"Right, let's go."
When we step out of the house, there are two black SUVs idling out the front. Cade and his sidekicks immediately slide into the first, whereas Alex, Channing and I climb into the second.
There's a definite divide appearing in the group, and I couldn't be happier that Channing seems to have chosen my side. Brandon is hovering in the middle, although I am worried about Alex.
I glance over at him; his knee is bouncing and his hands are twisting on his lap. "You alright, man?" I ask.
"Uh… yeah." He glances over at me and his eyes are blown.
"You fucking on something?"
"What? N-no. Just the come down from yesterday," he admits with a wince.
"You need to lay off that shit."
"I know," he mutters as Channing shoots me a concerned glance.
The drive to wherever we're going is only short, and when I look out the blacked out windows, I find we're pulling up to a deserted warehouse.
Well, this isn't ominous at all.
"Out," Cade barks, pulling the door open for us.
We follow orders like good little sheep. I want to refuse, but a bigger part of me is curious about what's going to happen next.
Cade leads us to the doors and throws them open when he gets there as if he's announcing his arrival at a party. I soon realize he is. The warehouse is empty aside from a few other guys dressed the same as us, and a guy sitting in a chair in the middle of the room with a bag over his head.
Cade nods at the others and they all immediately leave without saying a word.
"Who the fuck were they?" I ask Channing.
"Q security."
"Right."
"You ready to play, boys?" Cade asks, turning to us with a manic smile across his face. His eyes land on mine before they find Alex, making dread sit heavy in my stomach.
Whatever the fuck is going to happen here is going to involve us, that much is obvious. Our initiation might be over, but we've far from passed, as far as Cade is concerned.
"This motherfucker thought he would try his hand at selling our secrets. Didn't you?" He doesn't wait for the guy to answer; instead he pulls his arm back and punches him in his covered face.
I have no clue if the man is conscious or not, but he doesn't make a noise as his head snaps back.
"Now, we all know what happens to people who try to betray us. But I'm not sure our new recruits do. Moore, wanna fill them in?"
I look at Ashton, who's got a similar blood-hungry look on his face. He really is a fucking psychopath.
He rubs his hands together. "We kill them."
Great.
Cade reaches behind him and pulls a gun from his waistband. "But we're not going to be doing it this time." He steps up to Alex, and my heart falls into my feet. There's no way Alex will pull the fucking trigger on someone. "Rexford is."
