Barras turned his gun on me. I lifted Stormy’s weapon to pull the trigger, but a blast behind Barras blew a hole through his body. Death was instant.

A shot rang behind him and then silence.

“All clear,” echoed through the room. Kodiak jumped down from a stack of crates and rushed to my side.

I rolled off Stormy. Excruciating pain robbed me of breath.

Stormy leaned over me, careful not to hurt me as she touched me. “I’m so sorry.” Tears drenched her face. “I’m so so sorry.”

I fisted my hand in her hair. “It’s not your fault,” I mumbled.

“If Kodiak hadn’t been here—”

“Talk later,” Rogue said and dropped down next to me. “As soon as Willow patches you up, I’m going to beat your ass in the basement.”

I gripped his cut. “Blue and Kiss. They’re at Indulgence.”

Jazzy stood over me. “Vega found them. They’re both at the MC. Willow is with them. Kiss is fine.”

“What about Blue?” I asked.

A small smile curled her lips. “He was on his feet and talking when Vega and Romeo brought him in. Rogue made Romeo stay behind.”

“Torch and Dozer are in the hearse,” Blade said. “We need to load up the bodies.”

I struggled to my get to me knees. “Let them rot.”

Loading the bodies onto the hearse meant taking them out to my property and burying them with the rest of our enemies. But not these guys. Not Barras. One day, I wanted the little house for me and Stormy. Fuck having her ex in her mind every time she glanced out the fucking window.

Rogue put a hand to my chest. “Stay down.”

Dozer and Torch entered the building. “Everyone okay?” Torch asked.

“Yeah.” Blade glanced around at the dead bodies littering the floor. “Take the table and the tools. How many hits are ours?”

“Two. Stormy is a shitty shot.” Kodiak smiled at Stormy. “Nothing but wood and cement, but she’s tits as a distraction.”

“Who gave you the gun?” I asked Stormy.

She chewed her lip. “I stole it from Levi, then I stole her car.”

Jazzy’s eyes sparked. “I told you she was all Heller now.”

Kodiak wiped his gun. “My piece links back to Wrench and the Crawlers. Let the cops pull slugs out of this bastard. It won’t come back on the Hellers.”

“It’s going to hurt like a bitch, but we need to get you out of here.” Rogue and Torch hauled me to my feet.

Fuck. Blackness encroached on my peripheral. My nostrils flared, but I couldn’t draw in a breath. “My ribs are busted.”

“Put him in Levi’s stolen car,” Jazzy said and winked at Stormy. “Get him back to the MC. Willow will be ready for him. We’ll finish up here.”

Chapter Fifteen

Bullet

With Stormy’s driving, I’d be lucky not to have a punctured lung by the time we got to the MC. There wouldn’t be anything left for Willow to patch up.

“Slow and easy, brown eyes.” Labored breaths gusted over my lips. Sweat soaked my back, dripped along my bruised lats, and smeared with the blood on my chest. Every fucking bone in my body hurt, including my dick. Fuck, but she was fire. She’d charged into that building, a badass Heller, and faced her enemy.
