get him.”
“Z, you’re not alone here,” I whisper.
“I know, sorry, brother. We just need to kill these fuckers.”
“We’re gonna,” Riley says.
Alex passes me a joint as he says, “It’s a solid plan. If they don’t burn alive, we’ll shoot them. The element of surprise is on our side.”
He’s right. They expected the ambush today, but the fire at Club Kingsley will be a surprise. This afternoon we weren’t prepared for them, but tonight we will be. Nothing will stand in our way.
We talked to Lucas and I feel confident leaving him in charge. Finn vouches for him and that means something around here. I once again said goodbye to Ivy, who told me she has a doctor’s appointment tomorrow. I’m glad because she hasn’t seen a doctor here yet and she needs to.
We are now at Club Kingsley and I watch Zane because I know it’s bringing back more bad memories. Burning it down might just be the best idea for more than one reason.
“Alright, we are set. Zane, light this fucker up,” Alex says, coming from around the building.
Zane looks at me and I nod. “Alex and Finn head over to their club house but stay under the radar. As soon as they leave, burn that piece of shit to the ground.”
They leave and I grab Zane’s shoulder. “Brother, let all the fucking bad memories burn with this building.”
He doesn’t say anything, but I know he heard me. He’s more stubborn than I am and that’s saying a lot. “Time to end this shit,” he says, tossing a match.
We watch as the flames start to climb the building. It’s impressive watching the yellow and orange fire licking the building, but when it hits the accelerants, it’s stunning. The explosions causing huge fireballs high in the sky, will have the attention of more than just the Raging Devils.
“Get ready,” I yell over the crackling of the fire.
We rush to the hill that we spent a lot of time waiting on Kingsley. It’s the perfect vantage point and completely out of sight.
“Brooks better be alright,” Zane whispers to me, staring straight ahead.
“He’s gonna be. It’ll take time to recover, but he’ll be fine,” I say, glancing at him. “Ivy goes to the doctor in the morning.”
He finally turns his attention to me with a grin on his face. “No shit.”
“Nope. I need this shit over. I need to focus on her and the baby.”
His grin gets bigger and I shake my head. “You love her?”
I focus back on the burning building. The fire is burning so hot I can feel the heat when the breeze comes our way. They better get here soon, or the fire department is going to beat them to it.
“Yeah, I’m pretty sure I do,” I finally reply.
Before anything else is said we hear the sound of bikes. I know without a doubt it is the Raging Devils. They pull up and jump off their bikes. I glance over at Zane and he nods. He looks to Porter and Riley. We silently know that when we have a shot to take it.
“Mother fuckers!” Hawk screams. “They’re dead.”
They can’t get close to the building, so they are closer to us than I thought. It only works in our advantage.
“We burn down both Souls and kill them all,” Bane agrees.
Same plan as us. We need to finish this now before innocent lives are at risk. “I’ve got Bane, you get Hawk,” I whisper to Zane.
I lift my gun and without waiting for Zane to say a word I take my shot. I hit him right in the side of the head and smile when I see him fall to the ground. Zane’s shot hits Hawk in the chest and as he grabs his chest, he fires two more to make sure he’s dead.
“Fuck yes,” Riley says with a laugh.
“Where the fuck are Damon and Casper?” I say, jumping up.
Riley, Porter, and Zane continue to fire shots at the others who are rushing toward Hawk and Bane, paying no attention to me. My heart pounds as I realize they aren’t here. They stayed behind.
“Fuck!”
Chapter 12
Ivy
I reach over and realize I’m still alone. I sigh as I sit up in the cold, empty bed. I’ve become used to having Kace next to me. It’s bad enough I feel alone, but the fear is worse than that. They never came back last night and that scares the shit out of me. I talked with Harper most of the night and she told
