FIFTY
SAINT
Iexit her room just as Kashton’s door opens, and he steps out. He looks from me to her closed door before they meet mine again.
“I’m headed to the basement,” I inform him before he can say anything about what I was just doing.
“You think he’ll tell us anything?” he asks, knowing I’m referring to visiting Luke.
I shrug. “We’re about to find out.” Passing Haidyn’s room, I ask Kash, “Seen him this morning?”
“Not since the other night at Blackout,” he answers as we get into the elevator at the end of the hallway.
Me either. He’s either downstairs playing or out fucking shit up. Either way, he’ll come around when he wants to.
“I caught Ashtyn in my room yesterday,” Kash tells me.
“What the fuck was she doing?” I ask. But I like the idea she’s being nosy. It means I get to punish her for not staying in her room.
“Just being curious. Like I said…fucking cat.”
I smirk. I didn’t get back until late last night with Ryat. We unloaded our newest member, and I offered to let him stay and help me initiate the man. By the time we finished, it was almost six this morning. I was exhausted by then and went to bed. I knew I had an early morning with Ashtyn coming.
My cell rings, and I pull it out of my pocket. I show it to Kashton before I hit answer, and he smirks, knowing exactly what it’s about. “Hello?” We step off the elevator on the basement level. The concrete ceilings are low in this section of the building. We keep this room open for many reasons. I push through the double doors when the Lord speaks into my ear.
“Saint. What’s been going on?”
“Same thing, just a different day. You?” Kashton and I enter the room. It’s currently empty, but this is where we like to leave the ones to “hang” while we wait for them to offer up information.
“Pretty much.” He grunts. “Just wanted to extend an invitation to the Spade brothers for the show.”
Kashton holds the door at the other end of the room open for me, and I step inside it. “We’ll be there,” I inform him, and we hang up.
“Who’s the new guy?” Kashton asks when I pocket my cell while walking past the pits.
The pit in the center is currently occupied by the guy who I went to pick up last night with Ryat. We stripped him naked, removed his Lord’s crest, and rebranded him with the 666 Carnage brand. Then threw him in the pit to cool off. He’s currently sitting in cold water. It won’t kill him, but by the lack of color in his face and the way his head shakes, he’s pretty fucking cold. “Collected him last night,” I answer.
I’ve been in there quite a bit since that first initiation. How do you get over your fear? You do it over and over until it becomes part of your routine, your life. And then you do it for fun. That’s what the bitch said to me when we were “training” anyway. At the time, I wanted to drown her. I still would like to if ever given the chance.
We walk through the next set of double doors and enter the hallway where the cells are located. They’re on either side.
I unlock the cell, and the guy in the corner looks up as we enter. “Hey, Luke,” I say, coming to stand in front of him.
He lifts his right hand to shield what little light comes in from the hallway with the door open because he’s normally in darkness.
“I’ve been given some information lately.” I crouch down in front of him. “Why did you call the hit on Adam?” No need to beat around the bush or waste my time.
His sunken eyes widen, and he sucks in a deep breath. I arch a brow when he says nothing. “Maybe we should remove his tongue.” I look over at Kashton. Tyson already removed all of his teeth, but you can still talk without them.
Luke shakes his head quickly, and I reach out and grip his hair. I yank him to his feet and slam his face into the wall. “You’ve got three seconds to talk, or I rip it out.”
“I…I placed the hit on Brenda—”
“Bullshit!” I snap. “Tyson was there for Adam.”
“I swear. It was on Brenda. She was threatening to tell the police. She got spooked. Said a cop was asking around and that she wanted to talk to them.”
I yank him from the wall and spin him around. “Does Ashtyn know about you?”
