My stomach sinks.

“Who’d like to go first?”

Hands raise as exuberant shouts ring throughout the crowd.

“Come on, you know we don’t do charity here!” Frank shouts. “Show me what you have to offer!”

Men shout promises of guns and ammo they left elsewhere. It’s obscene what they’ll do to get a taste of me.

As they scramble to grab their goods, Gabriel shoves people out of his way as he approaches the stage, holding a pack above my head.

“I think you’ll find I have more than enough to go first.”

Holy-shit!

My brother, Gabriel Fuentes, the man I’ve wanted ever since the very first time I saw him, is bidding for the honor of licking my pussy first.

Every good thought I ever had about him turns to ash.

I’ve built so many fantasies around Gabe, the protective soldier that fought bravely, the attentive husband, the doting father.

He is none of those things.

“Whatcha got in there, buddy?” Frank says.

Gabe opens the pack and takes out an expensive-looking bottle of liquor.

Frank sneers. “It’s going to take a lot more than that to taste this pretty pussy.”

Gabe takes a step closer, leans forward, and opens his pack wider. As Frank bends to look, Gabe drops the bottle back in, cinches it shut, and swings it straight into Frank’s face.

My jaw drops as numbness washes over me.

What just happened?

Gabriel launches himself onto the stage, grabs Frank’s gun from its holster, and takes aim.

POP!

POP!

POP!

He moves from target to target, taking out the armed bouncers as people panic.

When he’s done, he lowers his weapon and shouts, “I want you all to listen up!”

The men freeze, hiding behind innocent barmaids and under tables.

“I don’t want to hurt anyone else, but I will. You might not know me, but you’ve seen me and my friends. We wear black and scour the streets, culling the dead. Armed to the fucking teeth. Now, if you let us leave, nothing’s gonna happen to ya. No retaliation. But so help me God, if a single one of you gets in my way, the hand of Satan himself is going to rise in bloody vengeance.”

The crowd stares back, their faces awash with shock.

“Don’t say I didn’t warn you,” Gabriel growls.

Someone shouts, “Just take the bitch and leave!”

Gabriel pulls off his shirt, revealing tattoos and shredded muscle.
