“Why come after me again?”

“Because you wouldn’t stop prying. Dig, dig, dig. You were like a fuckin’ mole. I knew you’d find out the truth in the end, but you weren’t that clever. Fuck me, you nearly tore Hellfire apart, which is something I’d not succeeded in doing. You set brotheragainst brother. Had everyone looking at each other. Congrats on that.”

“Ain’t something I’m proud of. So basically, this was just a game to you?” Sunny spat.

“Yup. Even shooting your pa was fun. Primal sure straightened himself up. Got himself a good life, but the man kept an eye on the club. Seems he knew shit I wasn’t aware of. As soon as Chance got your call saying Primal had returned and had information, I got my ass over here and shut him up.”

“You didn’t succeed. You failed. Now what?”

“You think I’m going to let Hellfire take me in? I know what you boys do to those who piss you off. One thing, Sunny, this ain’t the end. My son will come for you,” Carnage said.

With that, he turned and blasted Livvy in the head. I screamed as blood splattered me. Then, using Sunny’s gun, which Livvy had passed to him, Carnage ate a bullet.

I stared at their bodies in shock.

“Fuck!” Sunny roared as the front door blew open, and Chance rushed in.

“Are you okay?” he demanded. He grabbed me roughly and checked me over.

“He killed her and then himself,” I babbled. “Sunny!” his name escaped me in a wail.

Sunny hugged me tightly. He turned my face away from the bodies. “Did you hear it all?” he asked Chance.

“Yeah, and Rooster recorded it. You were both right and wrong.”

“It’s over,” Sunny said.

“You got repercussions to face,” Chance announced.

“I ain’t got shit to face. I was correct, you had dirt in Hellfire still. It just wasn’t a brother. You can have my cut, this shit was not worth it, and I don’t feel the same way as I did about it.” Sunny kissed my forehead. “Callie is the life I want, and that’sfinal. When the cops get here, give them Callie’s address, and they can talk to me there. For now, my girl needs looking after. Chance, the club is truly clean.”

Epilogue.

Sunny

He winced as Jack screamed and raced through the house.

“Something touched me!” Jack bellowed.

Sunny tried not to laugh, but it escaped, and Phil swung a camera on him.

“Sunny!” Callie hissed.

He winked and hugged his woman. He knew that footage would make it into the episode. Sunny had joined Callie as security and a general dogsbody.

Callie grabbed his cut, and he yanked her forward for a kiss. The fans had loved watching them as the episodes progressed, and Sunny had become a firm favourite.

“Love you, but I ain’t going in that room. Some creep touched Jack up,” Sunny replied.

Phil snorted, and Callie whacked his chest.

“I wasn’t,” Jack yelled from outside.

“That’s not what you said,” Sunny retorted.

“I am going in,” Callie announced.

“Love ya, babe, and good luck,” Sunny replied.
