~Chapter 27

Striding towards the group, I hear “What are you talking about Heather? We scared the fuck outta him those months back, and he left with his tail between his legs. Did he speak with you again? If he fucking did, I will go to Texas and teach him a lesson that he will not soon forget. There is no way that anyone would have allowed him anywhere near this fucking club, all the security has his picture and know that he could be a fucking problem and have known that since the first note all those months ago.” Reaching his hand up to her, he strokes down her face slowly saying, “No one would’ve let him anywhere near any of our girls, we protect what is ours.”
That’s when I hear Rebecca behind me, and the words that slip from between her lips let me know that I have again fucked this thing up that we have. With a cry from Peach who is now crouched down by Heather’s head, she speaks with such venom, I am not sure I would have thought possible of her during the years that I have known her. “No, but they would’ve let the sick son of a bitch near someone that didn’t mean so much, right?” Is all she is able to get out before taking off down the hallway and heading out into the night. I pray to fuck that the prospect has already gotten here, and that she isn’t stupid enough to take off on her own.
That’s when I can’t stop the roar coming out of my mouth and I can’t stop myself from grabbing up a vase and slamming it against the wall in my frustration. Followed by my fists in hopes that something eases the pain that was just caused to my heart.
Bull speaks loudly, “Knock it the fuck off, old man. What the fuck is going on?” Looking from Country to me and then to their woman he goes on, “Could someone please explain this shit to me?”
Moving back towards them I speak. “Peach was attacked last night. It was my fault, that I didn’t know enough to vet that fucking bitch out better. I didn’t even think twice about letting her out with Niki to test my Peach’s pain. That was not what fucking Zack had in mind for her though. She ended up being used by some fucking guys she swore wore Demon Riders cuts.”
Country’s eyes go wide hearing the name of the Demon Riders. If I had to guess, I am thinking that some ghosts from his past are taking hold. Only caring about my Peach, I decide to take off after her instead of sitting here waiting for this shit to play out. I need to know that she is safe, before I hunt these fucking dogs down.
Running through the back doors, I catch Peach about halfway across the parking lot. Reaching her in barely no time, I scoop her up in my arms, whispering how much I am sorry, how I will do whatever it takes to get these sick fucks, asking her to let me show her how much I love her. Getting back inside of The Dungeon I sit us on the floor and wrap myself around my little girl.
Continuing to whisper into her ear trying to calm the flood of tears down, I barely notice Country as he walks down the hall but here his gruff voice, “We will need to speak with her, when she is calmed down brother. I am heading to the clubhouse now, maybe you could bring her over?”
“Will do, Country.” As he starts to walk away my voice stops him. “Country, there is something else you should know.”
Looking over his shoulder he asks, “What’s that, Shadow?”
“Seems that sub Niki was working with Zack and the Demon Riders. She is the one that lured Peach away from here last night.”
“Understood, Shadow.” Is all that I can hear as my brother makes his way out of The Dungeon.
Not knowing what the fuck is going on, I know that I need to get Peach home to safety. The prospect that I called over fifteen minutes ago is still not here, so I decide to pack Peach up in the truck. She has started to calm down which makes it much easier to get her to the truck.
However, as our luck has it, while I am out there getting her situated, there are a few vehicles that pull into the parking lot. The men exit these vehicles quickly and head straight into The Dungeon. Not knowing what is happening or who these men are, I grab my weapons out of the glove box tucking them into my pants before locking up the truck and my little girl before heading back inside. Knowing that my stash of weapons inside is much greater, I hope I am able to reach them before these men cause any trouble.
Making my way through the back door, I see a few guys dragging Heather towards the exit. Reaching for my guns, I am too slow and take a shot to the chest causing me to black out shortly after the bullet breaks the skin.
