Page 49 of The Saviors: Part One
“Done.” Nolan hangs up, and all eyes are on me. I’m not a new development. When this is over, I’m out. I don’t want to look at Axel’s angry face or Cole’s sad one.
I stand up, pick my Glock up, and unchamber the round. It hits the table and spins. With a smile, I put my gun away. “I guess I don’t have to tell you not to leave this room?”
“Where the hell are you going?” Axel asks.
“I want you out of my house as fast as I can. I’m getting your information, and then you can leave.”
I don’t give him a chance to respond before I’m striding to the door. Once I’m out of the room, I shut it behind me, leaning against it to take a few deep breaths.
“Are you really okay? Who are they?” Baxter asks.
I motion for him to follow, with Roland still guarding the door. “Do you remember when I told you about Axel and Cole?” He nods. “The dark-headed one is Axel, and the blonde is Cole.”
“Oh, shit.” I spilled the whole tale to them one night, but I don’t regret it. Baxter and Roland have become like brothers to me after they saved my life.
“And you remember the current boyfriend situation?”
He chuckles. “Yeah.”
“Well, the other two are them. Sean is the playboy-looking one, and Kai is the monster one.” I laugh at my descriptions but I’m not lying.
“Damn, girl. You got yourself in deep with this one.”
“No shit. I’m getting some information for them, and they can go.”
“Even the boyfriends?”
He never judged me once when I told him what I got myself into with Sean and Kai. He just wanted to make sure I was safe, and they never make me feel anything but safe. I don’t know if them being a part of the Saviors changes that or not.
“I don’t know. I’ll figure that out next.”
“For what it’s worth, I think you should.”
I nod and walk into the backroom where I keep records of everything that I’ve ever made. I boot up the computer and put my password in to load the main screen. It’s built to self-destruct if there are too many password attempts or hacks. It will delete everything on here in a matter of seconds, but I have backup hard drives as an insurance policy. One that I haven’t had to use yet, and I hope I don’t need to start now.
Typing the information I need, I wait for it to load. I did several that day, including three Lancasters, which were probably all together. I flip through the photos, and not one of them is Charlie, unless he had plastic surgery done, which is highly unlikely. He’s too vain for that.
I put everything on a USB and pull up the video footage from that day. Keeping immaculate records has its perks. The woman from that day is plain, a decoy. People used them all the time. Not everyone shows up for these meetings in person, sometimes they send a liaison. If I get paid, I don’t care. I add that to the USB, pull it from my computer, and head back to the conference room.
Axel and Cole are talking quietly when I walk in. Their conversation stops as soon as they spot me. I sit back in my chair and slide it to Axel. “All the information is on there, including video footage of the woman who was sent to get the documents. Your dad was never here.”
“Thank you, Chelsea,” Cole says sincerely.
“You’re welcome. You can go now.” I’m way past done.
“What if we have more questions?” Axel asks with narrowed eyes.
“Pass it through Sean or Kai. I honestly don’t care if I see your face ever again.”
“Can you please let us explain?” Cole asks, eyes pleading. That’s it. I’ve finally hit my breaking point.
“No!” I say that way louder than I intended. I take a breath and try again. “No. Get out. Now.” I’m barely holding the tears at bay. Six years of anger and sadness is roaring to the surface, begging to be let out. I jump from my chair, go straight to the door, and jerk it open. “Now.” Axel wastes no time leaving, Cole hangs back. “Please, Cole. Just leave,” I whisper. He nods and slips out behind Axel.
“We need to settle this, Gorgeous. When can we see you again?” Sean asks.
I really hope I’m not screwing up. “Come to the townhouse when you get done. Everything needs to be out in the open, Sean. No more secrets.”
“If you give us the chance to explain, we swear it, Dragonfly.”
