“Wanna tell me why Onyx, Inglorious, Dylan, the Chief and the others are blowing up my phone?” he demanded quietly.

Phoe looked innocent. Oh shit, what had she done? Drake waited.

“I told them there’d be repercussions,” Phoe muttered.

“Like what?”

“Well, they shouldn’t have decided not to come!” Phoe exclaimed drawing attention.

“Phoenix Michaelson! You tell me right now what you did to our allies!” Drake demanded firmly.

“Zombie invasions. I hired large groups of actors, even flew some in for a free weekend, and sent them to the compounds and stations,” Phoe spat. Drake hid a laugh at how defiant she was.

“Seriously?” Chance boomed approaching.

“Don’t mess with me. This should have been a great weekend for all of us. Instead those pussies ruined it, and we have to do all the work. So fine! They got a zombie invasion!” Phoe snapped.

Drake tried to hide his laugh.

“And how did you know how many actors you’d need?”

Phoe sent him a derisive look.

“Oh please. You think I don’t know those bunch of pussies? I knew they’d all back out after the last few years. Next year, they’ll behave again and play ball,” Phoe sneered. Her disgust at the cowards clear.

“And did you think they might want to shoot the zombie actors?” Chance inquired mildly.

“Yup. So the Juno Group went in and locked down their weapon caches and stole their personal weapons while they were asleep,” Phoe said smirking.

“Tell me you’re joking!” Drake exclaimed. His mind was working overtime at the repercussions.

“Nope. Of course I made sure someone is hanging around their compound in case they need them. But until then, zombie invasion it is!” Phoe retorted happily.

Oh boy. When his wife went full on dark, she went dark, Drake realised. And now he’d have to explain his allies would get their weapons back after…

“How long Phoe?”

“Two nights. Pussies,” she said in disgust again.

The allies were going to string him up by his balls. Then again, if he held the threat of Phoe doing much worse… yeah he might escape this with just a few bruises. Sighing he yanked his phone out and typed into the group chat. Which looking at it was pretty funny at the hysteria from some of the allies inner core. Benjamin had already been locked up in a cell by the Chief who luckily realised they were actors.

The detective was out of his mind in fear and had now barricaded himself happily behind bars. The only time a cop would be happy to be locked up. Inglorious had locked half his men in their wet room and Onyx had zombies crawling up his walls, freaking the fuck out of his men. Lance had just managed to stop his men from setting up for world war three and Drake shook his head at the army guys. Yeah, that may not have been a good idea considering their skills. And Delta Force, Jacob replied, were freaked the fuck out of their minds and in the Delta Force command centre all totally blotto.

Jesus. Delta Force. They’d fight any enemy thrown at them bar a zombie. Drake and Chance read on through the group chat, snickering. Maybe Phoe was right. They’d learn not to upset her plans in future!

Six months later.

Dave sat in the rec room in the Rage MC clubhouse, having been invited to watch the first episode of his new programme. Surrounded by friends, Dave felt completely relaxed.

Over the last six months, they’d stayed in contact, and he kept them updated about the programme. Which, considering the footage they’d garnered, those two nights had turned into a series. Escape from Rage—the Andrews Institute, had been widely hyped, showing several clips that would hook an audience.

Dave was a thrilled man when the studio sent him the audience figures. The show was a success. The only concern he had was how to get Rage and Hellfire to do it again. They’d escaped the Andrews Institute virtually unscathed, although some probably had nightmares.

Dave sat back. He was already thinking of a second title for a series for next year!

Dave caught Phoe’s eye as she winked at him. And he knew she was thinking the same as him! Great minds thought alike! Dave grinned at those around him, noting their worried looks. He’d wait for now, but soon enough, he’d get Rage and Hellfire on another ghost hunt. They were too funny not to!
