“Remember who you’re fucking talking to,” I said as I walked to my bike and straddled it. “Let’s go bail your sister out.”

***

“What do you mean she’s gone?” I glared at the pig behind the counter, who was glaring right back at me.

“She was released hours ago.”

“How?” Troy was standing next to me, mirroring my pure hatred towards the officer in front of us.

“She made bail,” he said, examining Troy’s patch, his eyes hovering over the ‘President.’

“Who bailed her out?” Troy shot at him, and eyed the officer who had now joined the other pig behind the desk.

The officer glanced down at the paper work, but then with a glint of smugness, he looked back up at us. “We can’t release that information.”

I wasn’t taking this fucking crap. I leaned across, swiping the piece of paper from his fingers. A whole lot of yelling and threats came flying at me, but I had already tossed the piece of paper back before the pigs could move.

“Let’s leave.” I shot at Troy and we both walked to the door. The pigs didn’t even bother stopping us, because we all knew they just wanted us to leave. After all, we just cause them more paperwork.

“Where’s Amber?” the boys asked as soon as we walked out of the cop shop.

“Been bailed out,” Troy answered.

“By?” Tyler frowned.

“Your father.” I announced.

I straddled my bike. “Better give him a call, find out where they are.”

All the boys cursed under their breath because they knew that they would be in shit for this. Their dad would have had to have flown in for this, although he would most likely do anything for his little girl.

“Dad’s gonna be pissed,” Tyler grimaced, and just like taking a bullet, he pulled out his phone and called the only other man the Shield boys were actually scared of - their dad.

Chapter 32

Amber

“You boys have some explaining to do!” I heard dad tell whoever was on the other side of the door. “She was in jail. JAIL!”

I jumped slightly in surprise when I heard the hotel door slam shut. The bedroom door was ajar, so I was able to hear all that was going on out in the lounge room and I didn’t think that was a good thing. I wonder how the boys had found out that dad picked me up?

Well, it wasn’t like I could call anyone else. I knew dad would bail me out, and I knew he would actually come to get me although I was sure flying in in our private jet to bail me out hadn’t been on his agenda for that night.

Surprisingly, he wasn’t angry with me; he was just concerned about me, making sure I was ok, which I was.

“Is she with you?” Troy’s voice broke the silence.

“She’s sleeping.” Dad’s voice was stern, “You boys want to explain why Amber was in jail?”

“We didn’t make her speed,” Cole’s voice was short and snappy. “I need to talk to her, she in there?”

“Don’t disturb her!”

“Why? It’s Amber, I’m sure she is awake,” Cole snapped back at Dad. I had never heard him disrespect dad before.

“I brought you boys here to help Amber. Not drag her deeper in!”

“What are you talking about dad? We aren’t dragging her into anything,” Troy scoffed, “Amber was in trouble when we got here. We aren’t miracle workers.”
