“Are you even listening toyourself?”Killer asked, snatching the scotch from the other man’shand.“So she’s taken.She’s in love with Nash.You’re never goingto know what it’s like to have her in your arms.”
“Just like Kelsey is toyou.”
Shaking his head, Killer took a sip of thedark liquid.It was night, and the temperature had droppedslightly.He thought about Kelsey staring out of the window.Sheused to love cuddling up while looking out of thewindow.
“No, not like Kelsey and me.Mywoman is in love with me, Zero.She wants me, not Michael.”Zerosnorted.“Sophia dropped everything to help Nash.He wasa drug addict and afucking liability, and still when she could have chosen you, shestuck beside him.”
Killer knew his words stung.If anyone hadtried to say a similar thing to him, he’d have tried to take themout.
“You’re loving this, aren’tyou?”Zero asked.
“You think I love stating coldharsh facts to a brother?No, you’ve got it wrong.I don’t want tothrow your feelings in your face.You’re never going to be withthat pussy.You’ve got to learn to see her that way.”
Zero leaned against the brickbuilding.“Fuck!”He shouted the word to the sky.“I’ve never beenthis fucking hung up over a woman.”
“Are you sure it’s overSophia?”
“Yeah, I am.”
Shrugging, Killer poured out anotherscotch.This would be his last drink for a long time.“You’ve gotto think about everything you’re going to lose.The club iseverything, Zero.Don’t throw it away on a pussy.”
“She’s more than just apussy.”
“Are you in love with her?”Killer asked.
“I don’t fuckingknow.”
“If you don’t know the answer,then it’s a no.”Killer handed Zero the glass.He took it,swallowing down the liquid.
“This is bad news,” Zerosaid.“I watched them pull that girl out of the warehouse, Killer.They didn’t care.She was screaming, begging for her life.He tookher gun out and shot her at point blank rage.It was a fuckingmess.”
“We’ll stop it.We’ve gotno choice but to stop him from hurting others,” Killer said.Heremembered the sick feeling the moment he saw Kelsey in thebathtub.
“I’m with you every step ofthe way,” Zero said.
“I know.”They clinked theirdrinks together.Looking up at the moon, Killer knew he didn’t havea long time to get Kelsey away from Michael.The clock wasticking.

One week later
Earlier in the day Sandy hadbeen by the club to tell him about the plans to move Kelsey out ofthe hospital.Michaelhad settled all the hospital fees and taken allthe advisories for medical staff with him.All Sandy got the chanceto hear was that he was taking Kelsey home away from all theproblems that caused her to hurt herself.They didn’t know all ofMichael’s properties.Killer wasn’t going to risk Kelsey’s lifebecause he didn’t act soon enough.
Gathering the necessary bags he handedthem to Zero.The other man was coming with him tonight beforereturning to the rest of the group when they were done.
“Is this everything?”Zeroasked.
“It’s everything we need.Alex has arranged everything else.”
“Good luck and try not to killanyone.”Zero shook his hand, and they parted outside of theclubhouse.
“Are you ready?”Stevenasked.
“Yeah, you sure aboutthis?”Killer climbed into the passenger side.
“With the clubhouse on lockdown Idon’t like screwing the sweet-butts with everyone around.The oldladies make me wish for one of my own.”
“Any sign of Blaine and hisfamily?”Killer asked.
