I looked at Shane and saw track marks up his arm.

“He was trying to clean up the MC, at least somewhat, but you were getting out of control! If you don’t tell the rogues where you put the drugs, they’re going to kill you!” Callie cried.

Shane kneeled down and put the gun up to Callie’s temple. “Do you love him enough to get me killed? I’m your fucking husband!”

“Yes! I love him!” She yelled back. “He would never hurt me or Addie!”

Suddenly, Shane was crying and stood up. “You fucking whore.” He grabbed her by her hair with one hand and held the gun up to her head and looked at me. “I want your keys and enough money to sustain me and Addie. We have to get out of here.”

“You can take what you want, just let Callie and Addie go!” I had never been so scared in my life. Shane was erratic and even twitching like he needed more drugs.

He laughed. “You think it’s that easy? Well honey, you’ve owed me for years and I’m getting my payback! You’ll never guess where I hid the drugs.”

“I don’t care where you hid the drugs!” I snapped at him.

He walked himself and Callie to the dresser then let go of her hair, only to grab a knife and put it to her neck then also point the gun at me.

I was sobbing and scared as I watched Shane's erratic behavior. “I don’t understand what you want from me! Take my car, my purse, anything you want but let Callie and Addie go!”

“I hid the drugs somewhere you would have hid them, and the real dedicated Rejects will want them. I left him enough clues to make him think you have them, and he will be coming for you. I hate that fucking bastard, and he’ll want Callie more than the fucking drugs. She won’t be going with us, you will.Prez will keep that asshole of an uncle of yours busy while we get away.”

I watched in horror as I screamed. The knife dug into Callie’s throat as he sliced it, as if he never cared or loved her.

“No!” I screamed as he let go of Callie and she fell to the floor. “He won’t have a reason to come looking for us now. He will go for your family instead. He wants those fucking drugs.”

I crawled over to Callie and pulled her into me as I cried. She was trying to talk as she bled out, but her windpipe was cut. “No!” I cried as I held her, and Shane put the knife down.

“Addie, it’s time to come out now. Mommy’s going to take a little nap and Auntie Morgan is taking a short trip with us.”

“Addie! Stay in there, do not come out!” I screamed.

Suddenly, I felt a blow to my face, and I fell over, dropping Callie’s head in the process.

“See, that’s your problem, Morgan. You don’t fucking listen.” He kicked me in the stomach. “I want your money, then I’m out of here. If you’re a good girl, I will let you and my brat go after I get what I want, but if you try any shit you’re dead.” He kicked me again and I cried out in pain. He stepped over me and I knew it was probably my only chance. I fought through the pain as he walked toward the bathroom. Quietly, I crawled over to the dresser and got the knife. Then quickly stood and charged toward him, driving the knife into his back. We both fell to the floor, and I did my best to crawl over him, but he grabbed my leg. I struggled with him, but as he held my leg with one hand and tried reaching for the gun, I kicked the heel of my foot into his nose. My flip flops were long gone from the struggle. I wasable to grab the gun and point it at him as blood poured from his nose.

“You fucking bitch!” He was trying to pull the knife from his back as I crawled to the bathroom door. I pointed the gun straight at his head, but he started laughing like the crazy person he was. That laugh was sinister, and it would haunt me until the day I died. My shaky hand was holding the gun as he tried to get up, but he fell back down.

“Addie, please open the door.” My hands shook as I held the gun and had it pointed straight at him.

He tried to get up again, but fell. That was when he coughed, and I noticed blood spray from his mouth. “Stay back or I will shoot you.”

He stood on wobbly legs. “Do it, I dare you.”

He walked toward me, and I pulled the trigger, but there was nothing but a clicking noise. He laughed. “They say never keep loaded guns around children.”

Addie opened the door just as he started laughing again. I slipped inside and quickly locked it. I looked down and saw a crying Addie, then looked up to see a very small window. I quickly opened it then looked at Addie and whispered. “Go out this window and run. Run until you find help.”

She was still crying and shaking as Shane banged on the door. The window was too small for me, but Addie could escape. I opened the window and quickly lifted Addie up to it.

“You fucking bitch!” Shane was banging on the door, but I didn’t stop. I heard him coughing and I knew that knife went into his lungs. “Get help, Addie.” I helped her through the window and held on to her until I couldn’t fit through. “Run,Addie!” I dropped her and she fell, but I knew she could run. I sat on the floor, knowing Shane would find a way to reach me.

“I’m fucking dying, you bitch!” He gasped for air, and I prayed he would just die. “That’s okay, I had a plan.” I heard him and it sounded like he was crawling. “I’ll kill you just the way I was going to kill my whore of a wife.” He coughed again.

I shut my eyes and cried. I knew I was going to die when I smelled gas, but at least Addie had a chance to live.
