“But Chrissy –”
“I’ll have the boys take care of her.”
He buckles my seat belt, closes the door, and then slides in next to me. I stare out my window, feeling absolutely numb. I’m the scum of the Earth. Worse than that. I’m the scum on the bottom of the shoe of the scum of the Earth. I should have told him instead of him finding out this way. I watch the scenery change as Gage drives, not knowing where we’re going and not caring. He takes my hand and gives it a light squeeze.
“You’ll be okay, babe. I’m here.”
I turn to look at him and remember Chris’ last words. “Who’s Janet Presley?”
His jaw clenches and I see the anger in his eyes before he looks away. “Where did you hear that name?”
“Who is she?”
“Just some chick. She’s not important.”
“What happened to her?”
“Nothing. She moved away a couple years ago.”
“Was she your girlfriend?”
“What? Hell no.”
I watch him grip the wheel tightly. She means something to him. I’m not sure what, but I’m not in the frame of mind to figure it out. I have my own shit to deal with.
“Fuck.” he says, glancing in the rear-view mirror.
“What is it?”
“Two bikes behind us. Been there for a while.”
“So?”
“So? What bikers you know ride along diligently through traffic?”
He has a point.
“You think they’re following us?”
“Let’s see.”
He accelerates and I watch in the mirror on my side as the bikes speed up, too. Then they pull out from behind us.
“I think they’re going to pass us,” I tell him.
“Shit!”
One of them pulls up next to Gage’s window.
“What is he doing?” I exclaim in a panic.
I look around frantically for the other rider and almost swallow my tongue as I stare through my window and down the barrel of a gun.
Oh. Shit.
