of the room. The president here, wanted to know if there was any news on the Devil’s clubhouse, which there wasn’t and I thought that was weird. I’m not really paying attention to what she’s saying, but the word Decoy stands out and I sit up straight.
“Lauren?” Elise asks as I walk closer to the TV but I don’t answer. I’m fixed on the television screen and order the prospect behind the bar to turn it up.
I watch, completely stunned as the screen shows the Decoy men walking past the camera crew. My heart beats faster, these are friends of my sister. Really close friends and more like family to her seeing as though our parents are stuck up and I was a bitch to her. I see Max, my sister’s boyfriend smile at the camera and tears gather in my eyes, feeling sad for everything I did to him and Maisy.
The presenter goes on to talk about them staying in America for a little while as they work on their new album.
“You doing ok?” I hear Grim from behind me. I don’t want to take my eyes away from the screen, so I just nod. “Lauren?”
“I’m ok.” I answer, still not looking away. “I know them.” I whisper so quietly I don’t think he has heard me.
“How?” He asks, stepping closer to me. So close we’re almost touching.
“My sister, Maisy is with a member and close friends to the rest of them. I’m not a great sister to her, so they don’t like me much, but they’re familiar to me. I haven’t seen anyone from before.” Tears gather and I hold back a sob. I quickly turn to face Grim. “Please don’t say anything to anyone. I don’t want Maisy in danger.”
He frowns at me. “Why would I tell anyone? That’s your business to tell, not mine.” He takes a step closer, my breasts touching his chest. “I would never put you, or anyone you care about in danger.”
I nod, believing his words. I don’t know him very well but I know he’s the type of man to keep his word.
“Lauren?” Grim asks. “Call me Brandon.”
I stare up at him, shocked by the sudden change in him. “What?”
“Call me Brandon. It doesn’t feel right you calling me Grim. You should call me Brandon.” He smiles.
“Ok, Brandon.” I giggle.
He continues to smile and then steps away. “We need to talk to Brace.”
“Why?” I ask nervously.
“You need to see them,” he points to Decoy on the TV. “I think it will do you good.”
“He won’t listen to me.” I argue.
“No, but he will listen to me.” He smirks and leads me away. I then remember that Brandon is the vice president of the UK charter. Of course Brace would listen to Brandon, his position is under him and I guess that means Brandon is in charge while they’re out here.
Chapter 26
When Brandon finds Brace, he’s busy talking with Choke, who’s another British Kings member.
“VP” Brace greets him. “What can I do for ya?”
“It’s more for Lauren.” Brandon gestures to me. “She needs to get to a certain hotel, to talk to some relatives.”
Brace looks surprised. “You sure that’s a good idea, Lauren?”
“This was my idea.” Brandon adds. “I saw how upset she was and I think she needs to do this before we leave. This will stop her other family from starting to look for her.”
Brace thinks this over. “Why are you telling me, Grim? You know you have the final say.”
Brandon smirks, “Thought I’d ask for your opinion.”
“Well, I think it’s dangerous but I agree with you. Besides, didn’t you say you lived close by, Lauren?” Brace asks.
“Yeah, not too far,” I answer.
“We could split up, some watch over the hotel and others drop by Lauren’s old place and pick up some clothes before we head back home.” Brace gives me a smile and then looks back to his vice president.
“Sounds good to me,” Brandon adds.
“We need to tell Savage, he has a right to know because this is his town.” Choke advises.
“True.” Brandon nods his head. “But I want it known that Lauren rides with me.”
“Grim, that’s usually the President’s choice and seeing as this isn’t our charter that is Savage’s choice.” Brace reminds him.
“I don’t give a shit.” Brandon growls. “She rides with me.”
Brace nods his head and Choke sighs loudly and shakes his head. When Brandon takes me out of the room I stop him from walking so damn fast.
