Chapter Thirteen
Wrench
My phone buzzes in my pocket.
Mikey: Why’d you ask me to camp out here if you were just going to send Brick over?
Motherfucker.
I’m going to fucking kill that bastard.
Me: Don’t go anywhere and let me know when he leaves.
Mikey: Got it.
I head downstairs to the gym because I need to fucking hit something and I’d rather not have to call Doc to cast my broken hand. Throwing the gloves, on I start to wail on the bag pretending it’s that traitor’s face. Not enough for him to take my girl in the clubhouse he goes to her damn apartment.
After what only feels like a few minutes I feel the vibration of my phone.
Mikey: He just left.
What the fuck was he doing at her place for an hour? I head upstairs knowing how short the drive is and ready to beat his ass not giving a shit about the consequences.
I take a seat at the bar where Izzy and Nikki are talking, but I don't even look at them. They both think I'm an asshole for the whole Carly situation anyway, so fuck them.
The door opens, and I see Brick walk in, standing up I clench my fists ready to plow one right through his teeth. A small hand grabs my arm and I still.
"Follow us," Izzy says quietly.
I don't reply, but I take a step away, causing her hand to fall off of me.
Nikki places herself in front of me. "You need to wait a minute. Come talk to us, and then if you still want to act like a dumbass caveman, we'll let you."
I contemplate how much extra of a punishment I’d get for tossing her out of my way.
"You do this instead, and you'll fuck everything up." Her voice is full of irritation now.
"Five. Fucking. Minutes." I look at Brick before turning around and heading to my room. I don't look back, but I know they're following me from the click of Nikki's heels. They follow me in, and Izzy shuts the door. "Make this shit quick."
"First of all, cut the asshole shit, or I'll decide not to be so nice." Nikki shoots me a smile.
“This is you being nice? Hate to see you when you’re being a bitch.”
She lifts her hand up like she's ready to give it to me, but Izzy steps in front of her. "Stop it you two. Now Nikki and I have both been working T, to try and get this shit overturned somehow. We both agreed with the rule, but I also think that not every situation is the same. I like Carly and honestly, the way she's held her own against you, I think she'd make a damn good old lady."
I relax some hearing that they are on my side and talking to Pres. If anyone can get through to him, it'd be his sister and his girl.
“If you have any hope of this shit working, you need to chill the fuck out.” Nikki interrupts. “There is no way T will agree to this with you walking around like an uncaged animal attacking a fellow brother.”
I nod understanding what she’s saying. I didn’t give a shit about anything else when I thought there was no hope for me and Carly. Hearing the girls are on my side makes me want to walk a straight fucking line. “What do I need to do?”
"You…" Nikki points a finger at me. "Need to calm down and stop walking around here like a ticking time bomb. everyone has noticed and not in a good way."
I nod. “Keep me in the loop?”
“Yeah, although I think it might take a little time. You really pissed him off going to him this morning.” She shakes her head. “Put your damn head in the sand. Work on whatever it is you should be and let us handle it.” She opens the door and walks out with Izzy on her heels.
Needing a distraction, I sit down at the computer and check my email. I see a reply from one of my contacts and the information he gives me only confuses me even more.
