“You may not want it or need it, but it would make her life easier. She may love you but she won’t turn her back on family either.”
“He is not coming back with us!” Knight declares. Gage turns his back to me to face Bishop. Either he is stupid as fuck or has balls of steel to turn his back to me when I could shoot the dick in the head without pause.
“If you kill him, Carlina will run, you have to know that. If you don’t want him at the house then bring him back to the gym, he can stay there.” I’m fucking speechless at the fact Gage is standing here defending me. I don’t fucking trust any of them and he is a wild card. I wasn’t able to find out much about him like the others. He doesn’t even have a fucking record, not even a speeding fucking ticket.
“She won’t be running anywhere. She is home and now the war begins. You bring him out, breathing or not, I don’t give a fuck.” Bishop is full of shit and everyone knows it. He needs me alive to figure out how the fuck I know about all their secrets. Bishop and King leave the room, Knight lingers for a moment and I can see it in his eyes that he is dying to ask me something.
“Just say whatever it is and then go,” Gage prompts his brother. Knight shoots him a scathing look but asks none the less.
“Can you find my brother?” No matter how hard he tried, he can’t disguise the hope in his voice.
“I don’t know,” I answer honestly. He nods before leaving and then it’s just me and Gage. He turns to face me, we stand here sizing each other up.
“If what they say about you is true, then I need your help.”
“What exactly dotheysay?” I hedge.
“That theBloodhoundcan find anyone. You’re the one who they send in when everything else fails.” I push my lips to the side and nod, not agreeing or denying his claim. “Let’s go get that wound tended to before Bishop really does kill you.” I snort and he shakes his head. “You are playing a dangerous game fucking with him and King, they won’t let you near her.”
“They can try and fucking stop me, but Carlina is mine.”
“Yeah, I can’t wait to watch this shit go down,” he says as he walks out leaving me standing in my room alone. The sounds of shouting outside draws my attention. I move toward the window, pull the blind back and peek out before cursing and racing outside. I pause next to Gage at the top of the steps. My girl has Luka on his knees with a gun pointed to the back of his head. Bishop, Knight and King stand in front of her. I tilt my head slightly to get a better look and that’s when I see she has a gun in her other hand pointed at her brothers. “You need to handle that,” Gage says quietly I nod.
“Where the hell is he?” she shouts sounding hysteric.
“He’s alive,” King snaps. Deciding to put an end to this shit, I move the down the steps and bite my tongue to keep my pained hiss from spilling free thanks to jolting my fucking shoulder. She doesn’t see me until I push my way between Knight and Bishop ignoring their mumbles of me being a dick. The tension flees her body at the sight of me. I grab the gun she has pointed at her brothers and shove it in my waistband, she drops the other one she has pointed at Luka’s head to launch herself at me. I stumble back a step but don’t drop her, I manage to hold her up around her waist with my one arm. She whacks my hat off my head before she smashes her lips to mine, I smile against her mouth when I hear her brother’s cursing behind us.
Carlina
Vin places me back on my feet, but I cling to his shirt not wanting to let go of him. I dart my gaze to his shoulder and anger surges inside me.
“Bishop is such an asshole!” I growl.
“I can hear you, Carlina,” Bishop snaps. I wink up at Vin, earning a light laugh. I interlock my fingers through his and turn to face my brothers. Luka stands there glaring at me. I shoot him an apologetic smile and shrug my shoulders. I turn to Bishop but his gaze is focused solely on Vin. I need to fix this before more shit goes wrong. I open my mouth but clamp it closed when Vin speaks.
“I’ll help you take Vinny and Pauly out if you return my sister.” Bishop’s face pulls taught, I can see from the look in his eyes he has no idea what Vin is talking about.
“Why the fuck would I have your sister? Vinny Murelo doesn’t have a daughter and up until a few days ago we all thought his son was dead. Clearly we were misled about that.” The accusation in Bish’s voice is clear. Vin’s grip on my hand tightens to almost punishing, but I grit my teeth and push through it as I know this situation is fucking hard for him.
“Your family…boughther.” Disgust drips from Vin’s tone. Bishop takes two steps forward with his shoulders stiff, jaw locked tight and anger brewing his eyes.
“I don’t fucking deal in the skin trade. I don’t have your sister but you havemine.” Vin doesn’t falter.
“Then give me the records of your father’s transactions. Help me and I’ll help you.” Bish eyes Vin for a second before he answers.
“I’ll help you find your sister on one condition.”
“No,” Vin grits out, a dark smile crests across Bishop’s face. I look to King and Knight and they both seem as confused as I am.
“Then I won’t help you and you still die.” I gasp.
“Bishop no––” I snap my mouth closed when Bishop pins me with a warning look.
“He had a chance, he refused.”
“Refused what?” I shout, Vin answers me instead of Bishop.
“He’ll help me find my sister if I leavehissister and not come back for you.” My eyes widen in shock. Bishop doesn’t even look ashamed, if anything he looks smug as fuck. I pull my phone from my pocket and scroll my contact list. I feel all their eyes on me as I hit dial and bring it to my ear, as I wait for them to answer I shout out to Gage.
