“Yes, I know. I heard about what Symon did in New York. He fucked up when you sent him to California. He came into my territory and took my daughter. That put him on my radar. He’s done. Finished. Now, hand over my daughter Krieger. Don’t make me ask again.” Diesel demanded, raising her gun higher towards Krieger.

“Your daughter? Yeah, I can see a resemblance. Explains why fucking Symon was obsessed with her. Still a whore as always, Alexandria.” Krieger sneered, pressing a gun to Raven’s head again.

“She’s your daughter too, Krieger. She was conceived the night you raped me while my brothers held me down in that alleyway.” Diesel told Krieger, the memory flashing back into her head as she looked at the man who started her nightmares.

“M-my daughter? Symon fucking kidnapped and raped my daughter?” Krieger screamed out, moving Raven from in front of him to fully look at the young girl in his arms.

“Yes. He knew she was your daughter. He didn’t care. He bragged about it when I confronted him. He’s gone. Finished. I dealt with him since you wouldn’t when you should of. Don’t pretend you give a shit.” Diesel yelled back at Krieger, standing in front of him, pulling her out of his reach and behind her. Her weapon still raised towards him.

Disel felt one of her team members move Raven out of harms way. She knew they had Raven, no matter what happened to her. Her focus now was on Kreiger. Her nightmares ended today. For good.

“She’s my daughter! She’s my property!” Krieger bellowed, seeing Raven being moved away from him.

“No Krieger. She’s no one’s property. She’s not gypsy like you are or I was. She was born free from the bullshit we were raised in.”

Krieger turned, raising his weapon to scream at them. Viper grabbed Diesel and pulled her to the ground, using his body as a shield, when several rounds of shots went off.

When Viper moved off of Diesel and looked over, Krieger was dead. Krieger had multiple bullets to his body.

“D! D! Are you ok?”

Viper looked up to see Pratt, Showalter, York, Toi and Angel all running towards them with their captain rushing over to them. Raven came forward hesitantly, not sure what to do. When Diesel reached out and grabbed her hand and pulled her into her arms, both women burst into tears as they held one another. He had started to move to the side when he felt a hand grip his shirt to keep him from moving too far.

“Stay. I need you here with me. Please.”

“I’m not going anywhere, babe. Your girls need to make sure you and Raven are ok. I’m right here.” Viper promised.

“I love you!”

Viper couldn’t help but pull Diesel into his arms, even though she still had a hold of Raven in hers. He gathered them both into his and kissed Diesel passionately. “I love you too, trouble!” Viper murmured against her lips.

While the women had looked Diesel and Raven over and made sure that the flying bullets hadn’t hit them, the men checked on Viper before they all relaxed and started looking into the room where Raven had been held captive for several days.

Clarance’s people came to help carry out Krieger’s body and deal with LAPD. Viper was grateful for every help they could get. Most of the answers to their questions wouldn’t come until later, a few hours later, once everyone talked to Raven.

They found out that Krieger had already been in Los Angeles before he got the call from Diesel. Krieger had been suspecting Symon of some shady shit for several years now but gave Symon his own club to prove his theory.

Symon’s own cockiness made him make too many mistakes. He was even losing the trust of his own family members. Raven had told them about Krieger’s phone call while they were waiting for Symon.

The whole situation had everyone baffled. No more than it did Diesel. She refused to think about herself currently as she was dealing with Raven. Trying to help her with her situation.

Every time he would take a few steps away, she would look up as if he was getting ready to run away from her. Fear in her eyes, something he didn’t want to see, ever, associated with her looks at him. He knew she wasn’t afraid of him.

“She’s worried you’re going to leave her. Now that everything is done.” Jacko slid next to him, murmuring so only he could hear.

“What makes you think that?”

“She’s attuned to your every move. When you shift, she looks up. When you move, same thing. When you went to the bathroom, she kept a vigil over the door.”

“I’m trying to give her time with Raven before the parents get here.” Viper admitted, his hands going into his pockets.

“They aren’t coming. Raven told them she would let them know when she was ready to see them.”

“She’s your woman’s mini me. That’s for damn sure. The whole team is forming a protective circle around that kid,” Kermit murmured, coming up on his other side.

“Dean, Danny is on the phone. They are forming a task force to go in and take down Prey and the Golden Fangs there. He wants to talk to you first.”

Viper looked up as Cowboy walked up towards him with his phone out to him. Viper took a deep breath before taking the phone and putting it to his ear. “Danny…”
