“This is gorgeous, Marney!”
“It’s a masquerade theme tomorrow. I had it made for you.”
“You had planned on this?!”
“Yes. So go enjoy yourself and let go for a few hours.”
“Marn-”
“No more arguing, love. Just text me when you get there and when you leave, yeah?”
“What if I meet a serial killer?”
“It wouldn’t be the first time.”
“Bitch.”
“I love you but I have to get home to the husband and crotch goblins.”
“I’ll get the tab. Love you! Now get.”
With that, Marney passes me to head out the door and I follow her out. If I stay any longer, I can’t promise not to kidnap Alley to keep her away from that club. Marney gets in her car and hauls ass out of the parking lot. I sit on my motorcycle and watch Alley sit in the booth twirling the simple mask with her fingers. The waitress drops her check onto the table. Alley doesn’t seem to notice as she just keeps blankly staring at it.
What are you thinking?
My phone vibrates and I rip it out of my pocket. No one usually contacts me on this phone, so it must be important.
Wolf: You are in. You have a month to prepare.
Me: That was fast. It’s only been a day.
Wolf: They need people.
Me: Perfect. I need a favor.
Wolf: Anything.
Me: I need to be on the list for your club tomorrow night.
Wolf: Done. Your last hoorah?
Me: Something like that
With one last look at my Little Monster , I put my helmet on. As I get ready to start my bike I notice a very familiar CHEVY Blazer. I haven’t seen him for some time but I don’t think it’s a coincidence he is here. The driver side door swings open and he gets out dressed in all black and his hood pulled up.
At first I thought he was here for me and that he actually put two and two together. So, imagine my surprise when he walks up to Alley’s car and places something I can’t make out on the undercarriage.Pretending to be scrolling on my phone, I watch Gunner watch her as she exits the diner. He doesn’t make a move to abduct her; no he slinks into the tall bushes by her car and doesn’t emerge until she is out of the parking lot. He hops back in his SUV and drives off in the other direction.
Well, that’s interesting.
Present
Standing at my post in Baron’s office, I tune out the girl crying to him. Something about her punishment from Carson being too extreme and blah blah blah. I’ve been listening to this shit for three years. It’s the same story over and over just a different day.
Personally, I don’t really give two shits about these women. They won’t survive this place, no one ever does. No amount of submission will save them from their horrific ending. I have done some fucked up shit in my life, including being here but these guys take it to a whole new level. I’ve seen Nik slowly kill one of the girls by hacking off her limbs centimeter by centimeter. Still the worst has to be what happened to Annie and Michelle.
I knew Vaughn was vicious like me, but not to that degree. I mean I have followed him throughout my lifeespecially when we were teenagers. Hell, I even joined the military when he did. Mainly because I was ordered to, but nonetheless we served together. He even served with Titus, Salvatore, and Declan on several occasions.
Imagine if they knew he was the one who had her.
