“What’s goin’ on?”
“We’ve been good, yeah? No rival bullshit comin’ our way. We haven’t fucked anyone over,” I say to him, trying to get a feel for what might be going on.
“Not that I know of, Prez. Things have been pretty silent, but that can change in the blink of an eye,” he says. I know he’s right. Things can change.
“I’m just thinkin’ out loud, man. Somethin’ feels off. I don’t like it.”
“What do you mean?”
“I don’t know. Can’t pinpoint it. I just feel it in my gut, ya know? Somethin’ just doesn’t feel right to me,” I tell him. Twitch shifts from foot to foot before taking down the rest of his beer.
“I don’t feel anything. You sure this isn’t personal? This about Yenni?” Why would he ask that? Why bring her up? Something is off with this whole conversation, and I don’t like it.
“Nothin’ personal, brother. I think it’s club related,” I tell him, wanting to gauge his reactions. If he’s lying, there has to be some kind of sign from him.
“Club related? I don’t see where that would come from. We’ve been in good standin’ with everyone so far,” he says.
“Yeah. Maybe it’s internal, Twitch. Maybe we have a rat.” He raises his eyebrows before running his hand through his hair.
“You think so?”
“Would make sense why I feel the way I do.”
“But a rat? I can’t see any of the guys bein’ a rat,” he argues. I can. Him. I think he’s the fucking rat in this club. I think he’s been doing shit behind my back. All that familiar anger burns in my chest, and I’d like nothing more than to unleash it on his ass.
“You’re right. Me either, but it’s somethin’.”
“Maybe you just miss your girl. You should get her back,” he says. My stomach clenches. He has something to do with her being missing; I can feel it in my bones.
“Thing about that is, she kind of up and disappeared on me.”
“What do you mean?”
“She hasn’t been to work. People have left notes on her door. Where the hell would she go?” I watch him as he thinks it over. I still feel it. Low in the pit of my stomach. He knows something, and I’m going to find out what the fuck it is.
“Really? That doesn’t seem like her, but you did threaten her with a gun, man. Maybe she’s scared?”
“She didn’t seem scared,” I tell him, and she didn’t. That’s not a lie. She wasn’t afraid; she was pissed.
“That doesn’t mean she wasn’t,” he adds.
“True. I guess it’s possible. But where the hell would she go?”
“To her friends,” he says.
“She only has one. I suppose she might have snuck off with her. Maybe havin’ a girl’s weekend.”
“I’m sure that’s probably it.” I nod my head before turning and walking away, ending the conversation. I stalk toward the bar and grab another drink to calm my heated nerves.
Someone better find her. Someone better know where the fuck she is.

Yenni
The chains cause my wrists to ache, but there’s no way out of them. I’ve tried and tried again, only to leave my wrists bleeding. Marsha has been in with food and water, but that’s all I’ve seen of them. It makes me wonder what the hell they’re planning. What they’re up to.
I don’t have much time to think it over when the door opens. Twitch strolls in like it’s just another normal day and sits on the edge of the bed, followed by Scott.
