turn to kick the nearest object. It’s a chair and I send it flying into the wall. My blood is burning and I need to hurt and cause some pain. Hurting my enemies soothes my anger and it’s just what I need right now.
“You told Brace?” I ask him because Elise is also in these pictures.
“No, I don’t think he needs to know.” He shakes his head, cursing at the photos now on the floor. I reach for them, tipping them into the metal bin by my dad’s desk and burn them all. Nobody needs to see them and I won’t tell Lauren anything. She doesn’t need to know about this.
On the way out of the office, I see a prospect. “Shaky!” I shout him over.
“VP,” He greets me.
“I need you to take another prospect and quietly get over to West’s place while I go to church. He might be hurt, but it could be a trap.” He nods in answer. “You try and have a look around. I need to know what’s going on.”
“No problem, I know what to do.” He smirks.
I bet he does too, he’s been on a lot of scouts with me and he’s very promising. I’m surprised he hasn’t been patched in yet.
I slap him on the back. “Don’t get caught and remove your vest, if they spot anyone to do with us they’re in danger.”
With a final nod, he quickly leaves to do what he’s told.
Chapter 50
“This could be a trap and I can’t afford to risk any of you.” My dad roars over everyone.
We’ve been talking for ten minutes now and for all we know West could still be hanging on. I admire my dad and think he’s an amazing President, but with this he’s wrong.
My phone vibrates and I quickly open the message.
“VP! No phones in church,” My dad orders.
“I know, but I thought seeing as I sent out some spies for us I would need to hear back from them.” I answer as I read the text Shaky has just sent me. “And it looks like I was right.”
“You sent out spies?” He asks sounding pissed.
“Before you start shouting, I did it for West.” I wait for his nod to carry on. “I just got news back, and they say he’s all alone. No company anywhere, Boss.”
“You trust them?” He asks me.
“Yes.” I answer immediately.
“Devlin, Brace, Duke, Scrappy and Menace.” He points. “You go with Grim, the rest of you stay here with me as look out. West might be alone, but that doesn’t mean we are.”
With our orders we all get our shit and head out. My dad gives me a slap on the back when I pass him and it’s a hard one. I give him a nod, understanding his warning for what I did. I get it, but I did what I thought I had to do and I was right, at least he can see that. If I hadn’t we would probably still be in there while our brother was dying.
“Baby!” My dad shouts. “Ring the doctor in!”
Menace and Brace get in the car as the rest of us climb over our bikes.
***
We arrive at West’s house quickly and I find the Prospects by their bikes as they watch over West. I thank them and tell them to keep watch while we get West into the back of the car.
When I approach West though, I have to stop myself from flipping the fuck out. West lays naked in the middle of the road with a huge gash in his stomach. You can almost see his fucking insides it’s that bad. Brace places a shirt over his injuries and we all carefully carry him into the back of the car.
“What about the girl?” Duke suddenly asks when West is safely in the back of the car.
“The girl he was fucking?” Brace asks.
“West is fucking naked, do you think they walked in on them?” Devlin asks.
I turn to Brace. “You and Menace get West back, he needs looking at as soon as possible.”
“Be careful.” He warns as he gets into the car.
As they drive away, the rest of us slowly enter West’s house to look for the girl. We enter quietly, not wanting to disturb anything or if she’s still here, I don’t want some hysterical woman running out on me.
I’m about to tell the guys to split up, when I hear a strange noise from the living room. I silently motion for them all to follow. When we
