As we head outside, Riot appears at my side, Mayhem is at Chaos’ side and Psycho is already at the gate, leaning against the post, playing with his knife like he’s bored.
As we get to the gate I can see Dyno, he has Rattle and Lizard with him.
“Chaos, I have the rest of your money, Olivia, go get your things,” he orders, like he’s in charge.
No one moves. The dogs are siting either side of me, eyes trained on Dyno. I place a hand on each of their heads and stroke. This makes Dyno look down and he notices them, and I can instantly see the fear in his eyes.
“Now Olivia,” he shouts at me, causing King and Raze to stand, growling their displeasure.
Dyno takes a step back and Chaos puts his arm around my shoulders and whispers
“Good idea with the dogs babes,” he kisses the side of my head and I lean into him.
Seeing this, Dyno’s eyes get hard with anger.
“Psycho, get the cash from him.”
Psycho slowly stands from the post and nonchalantly walks to the gate, holding out his hand for the money to passed through. He hands it off to Dolla, who I didn’t see appear. Twisted, the prospect is still in the gatehouse, watching with his gun drawn ready.
“Dolla?” Chaos questions.
“All twenty thousand is there.”
“Perfect, that our business done. I’ll make sure to speak with Judge, thanks for bringing the cash.” Chaos says as he turns us and we start back towards the clubhouse.
“Chaos, you still have something of mine,” Dyno shouts.
We stop and Chaos looks over his shoulder.
“I have nothing of yours.”
We carry on walking; I can hear a scuffle behind me but I don’t look back.
“She is mine Chaos and I will have her back. Mark my words, you can’t keep her behind these gates forever. She’s mine.’
I shudder as Dyno is losing his mind behind us.
“Keep walking, don’t look back baby,” Chaos kisses my head again.
I know I need to trust him but Jesus, when is Dyno going to get the message? I really have had enough of him and want my life back; I want to live free.
Back inside the clubhouse, Chaos leads me into his office and I flop down onto the sofa. Mayhem, Riot and Psycho have joined us.
“Don’t worry Liv, he won’t get you. He’ll have to get through me first,” Riot says trying to comfort me, pulling me into a hug.
“He’ll have to get through us all,” Mayhem confirms.
Psycho just nods.
“Thanks guys. It means a lot you have my back.”
Chaos smiles at me, picking up his phone. I know he’s calling my dad.
“Chaos, everything okay?”
“Yeah Judge, we got your payment.”
Silence.
