“You better quit being a fucking pervert,” Viper growled, leaning down in Tyson’s face. “There’s nothing we hate more than guys like you. You’re nothing but a waste of space. You’re a security specialist that ignored all the cameras.”

“Fuck off,” he spat back at him.

Viper chuckled, backing away from him. “We know you have a debt to Chaz for distribution. You were stealing money from him, which is why he can’t pay us.”

My mouth dropped open. “What?”

Everyone looked over at me, including Tyson. Most of them seemed amused by it, but Ghost Eyes’ face stayed completely blank, his face unchanged by my reaction. I took a breath and cleared my throat.

“Did you really think that I only served the ‘good’ guys, Rachel? Do you think Ionlydid security?” Tyson laughed, shaking his head at me. The bikers backed up, letting it play out, apparently. “Come on, you’re a fucking drug lord’s little sister,” he continued. “Everyone knew it. You thought you were running, but he was just sending us to keep an eye on you. I duped youandyour buddy, Lucas. He was just as naïve as you, which is surprising given his roots.”

“Chaz sent you to keep an eye on me?” I questioned, still stuck on that fact. My stomach lurched at the amused look on his face.

“Do you really think yourbrothersent me?” Tyson shook his head. “Chaz doesn’t give two flying fucks about you, Rachel. He only dished out the money because Lucas is over there with a fuckingknifeto his throat, making him pay to get you out.”

“No…”

“Yeah,” Tyson shrugged, like it was no big deal. “You think Lucas is some petty private investigator like you, but it’s not like that at all. He’s cunning and powerful, and you have no idea who your partner really is.”

“What were you doing there then?” Ghost Eyes jumped into the middle of it. “Why didn’t Chaz cut you off right then and there since you owe him so much money?”

“He would let the debt go if I helped rescue her,” Tyson said, his words making me wonder if I ever actually knew him at all. “But he wasn’t the reason that I showed up here in the woods.”

“And why did you?” Ghost Eyes demanded, his gray eyes nearly black.

Tyson smiled a sick, twisted, and downright disturbing grin. “Because Victor Sanchez offered me two million dollars to bring Rachel to his doorstep.”

Bile shot up the back of my throat, and I flung myself off the bed, racing to the bathroom. Vomit spilled over, and I wretched over the side of toilet, completely disgusted and terrified by what I had just heard. Did Chaz know? Surely, he didn’t. My brother had been protecting me from Victor for years…

I heard Tyson wailing on the other side of the door, while I lost everything I had eaten that day. Not only had I allowed an almost mob boss—and my kidnapper—to fuck me in the shower, but now the absolute sadistic psycho who was supposed to be under control, had sent my ex-boyfriend—who was dealing drugs for my brother—to kidnap me…

What the actual fuck.

I wretched one last time over the side of the toilet before getting myself together and wiping my mouth. I got a drink of water from the sink and took in the sight of myself. There wasnothingto be desired about the dark circles under my eyes, my unkempt hair, and my paling complexion. The makeup had long been washed off, and there was nothing but bare bones there…

But he still fucked me like I was something beautiful.

Because he’s probably a psycho too.

I ran my fingers through my hair, and made my way back to the bathroom door, opening it slowly. I peeked out at the scene, not missing the blood now dripping to the floor beneath Tyson’s chair…

And he wasstillmouthing off about it.

“I know who you are,Trevor.”

“Who told you who I am?” Ghost Eyes demanded. “Tell me, and Imightnot cut off your dick before I kill you.”

Tyson grunted something, but I couldn’t hear his words until he spoke louder. “I’ll tell you if you spare my life.”

Ghost Eyes laughed. “Nah, we both know that’s not going to happen.”

“You’re killing me over my dirty leftovers, you know,” Tyson shot back. “That’s all she is—just fucking disgusting leftovers. I don’t even know what’s so enticing about her to Sanchez. I mean, yeah, he’s got an eye for certain women, but he fills the need. He’s on a fucking leash when it comes to Chaz. If Chaz didn’t have so much fucking power over him, he’d have killed her years ago… But he’s getting ballsier. Like I said, I was here to rescue and deliver. He figured he’d pin it on you…”

My stomach still churned nauseously as I listened, peeking through the crack in the door. Did Lucas know the plan? He couldn’t know… There was no way my partner could be involved… I wasalmostcertain.

“Rachel,” Viper, the leader called to me. “Get out here.”

I wrapped my arms around myself as I stepped out into the open, everyone but Tyson’s eyes shifting to me. “Yes?” I choked out, never really having been addressed by him.
