Rogue put his hands beneath his chin, and set his head down upon them. “Both of you bring up good points, but I’m with Trista on this one. He put down a deposit of 20K. That’s a serious deposit on a business arrangement that we haven’t even made yet. I’m in on this deal.”
Pops nodded. “I say we take it to a vote. For me? I’m with Rogue. I trust the Red Dragons.”
Rogue scanned the table. “If you agree that we should steal the fifteen cars that the Red Dragons need, say aye.”
Everyone agreed, even Ace and Rocco, though they both looked nervous. I knew that they wouldn’t be excited to see Chen again after their little outburst earlier. It’d been an embarrassment for the MC.
“Any other business?” Rogue asked. No one spoke, and he pounded the table with his gavel. “Excellent, then let’s celebrate. To the Red Dragons, and to a lot of fucking money.”
Everyone clapped their hands, and cheered, before standing to exit. I stayed back with the envelope, and counted the money to make sure all fifty grand was there. Sure enough, it was. I sat and maintained the books while listening to the ruckus going on outside the boardroom. All the men were drinking and enjoying some of the Ravens Nest whores while I stayed in my quiet world of numbers. I only looked up when the door closed, and saw Blaze standing in front of me.
“Cruz is down at the warehouse. Everything checked out fine before I left.”
“Great. Thanks. Just about done with these. Then, maybe we can go upstairs?”
He smiled at me. “And what would you like to do upstairs? Because, last time we were there, I remember getting involved in something very interesting.”
I laughed. “I seem to recall that, too. Though I feel like this time it should be reciprocated. I mean, a girl can only do so much.”
He continued to smile; yet somehow it wasn’t reaching his eyes anymore.
“What’s wrong? I asked him.
“What are we doing here? Are we just going to be fuck buddies?” He began to walk around the table toward me. “Or are we going to be more?”
He pulled me up out of the chair, and his lips met mine. I knew exactly what he wanted, but I wasn’t sure if I was ready to give it to him. I didn’t know if my heart was even available. As much as I loved the MC, they had taken a piece of my soul away from me. I didn’t trust anybody, especially with my heart. What if I let Blaze in, and he broke it?
“I don’t know. I don’t know how I feel.” He pulled away from me. “It’s not like that! I know I feel something, I just don’t know what to make of it yet. And we’re going to have to tell Rogue, and the rest of the guys. I just don’t think that’s going to go well.” I wrapped my arms around his neck. “Can we just keep this quiet little bit longer?” I whispered. He put his hands around my back.
“A little bit. I want to tell your dad, soon.”
I nodded against his thick chest. “We will, I promise.” I gazed up at him, and, just as his lips parted to say more, shots were fired outside the building. I immediately pulled my gun from inside my cut as Blaze did the same. He pulled me down to the ground, underneath the table, seconds before glass broke above our heads. There was screaming and bottles shattering outside the boardroom doors.
“We have to get out there! We have to help them!”
Blaze yelled to me over the commotion. “Go! Just stay low. I’ve got your back.”
I stayed crouched down, and worked my way across the floor. I opened the door just an inch, as more shots were fired. I couldn’t see anyone lying on the ground, just a couple of whores hiding underneath the table. I yelled to them, “Anybody hurt?” They clung to each other, and shook their heads. I pushed the door the rest of the way open, and Blaze and I slid through, still fumbling our way on the ground. The shots stopped, and after a few seconds, we stood, surveying the rest of the scene. Ace was next to the door with his finger on the trigger, and I watched as he ran out into the night.
My mom screamed at him, “Ace, no! Get back here!” There was terror in her eyes. I ran after him, my gun pointed in front of me, as the rest of the MC started to get up, and pulled their own guns. I glanced behind me as I passed Rev on the floor, holding his arm, and yelling a slew of curse words I could hardly understand. “Blaze, you’re with me. Mom, get Bones, and check on Rev. Something’s wrong with him!” She nodded to me, and I disappeared through the door and into the darkness.
Tires squealed just as the door closed behind me. Whoever had just attacked us, they were gone now. I looked frantically for Ace; I had to make sure he wasn’t dead. “Ace! Ace, where the hell are you?”
There was no sign of him anywhere in the parking lot. Blaze and I looked through the parked cars, and around the bikes, but there was nobody. Suddenly, it was clear that he wasn’t dead—he was kidnapped. Rogue and Bones walked up behind me with their guns outstretched. “Where the hell is Ace?” Rogue asked me.
I spun around, tears rolling down my face. I couldn’t help it; I felt like I was broken. “He’s gone! Whoever the hell that was, they just took him!”
Blaze walked up to the three of us with a single piece of paper in his hand. “I found this on one of the cars. Do you know what it means?”
I took a look at it. On one side, three words were written. Trust no one. When I turned it over, and looked at the other side, there was a name and a phone number.
“Who the fuck is Paige Morrison?”
