"Marc was there in the hospital room. He wasn't trying to hide at all. I hate to say it but he's acting like he's got us over a fucking barrel Prez." Rumble shakes his head before getting himself off his ass and onto his feet again.
"That motherfucker has the nerve to show up where Nisa's mother is resting her head? What about the damn security guard?"
"He was there. Either he's on Marc's payroll or he didn't see him go inside. Either way, he was posted up in the room like he was paying the fucking bill or something." Rumble shook his head.
"I got the surveillance video," Spike huffs out as he makes his way back to where we're standing. "I don't know how much we're going to see but there's nothing more that we can do here.
"Yeah, let's get back home and regroup. Rumble, you take my bike. I'll drive with Nisa." I order before I turn and walk back over to the truck. I get in the driver's seat and squeeze my hands around the steering wheel as I hear Nisa sniffling and hiccuping with emotion. Usually, I don't like to be around women crying but I know I need to be here for her now. She doesn't have anyone else and she's already accused me on more than one time of abandoning her. I'll never do that again, even if it means that I have to be uncomfortable. I'll take that for her.
From the moment we got back in the clubhouse I made sure that everyone was busy looking for Marc and for where he could've taken Hugh's body. Of course, it wasn't as easy as just seeingwho came into the cemetery. Right now we had nothing but a video of grieving family members visiting their loved ones.
I had to trust my club to do what needed to be done. As much as I wanted to I had to focus on Nisa. She was breaking apart in front of me.
"Nisa, babe, take a breath." I gather her in my arms and hold her to my chest again.
"I hate him. I can't believe I thought he was on my side. Even for a little while." She wipes her face hard.
"Me neither but everyone makes mistakes. We're going to do everything that we can to make sure that we find Hugh and make that bastard pay."
"No! See that's the problem. It's been the problem since the very beginning." She throws her hands in the air.
"What are you talking about?" I squint my eyes at her, not wanting to upset her anymore but pissed off that she's trying to blame me for something she basically caused. I didn't tell her to get hooked up with a dude like Marc. I didn't tell her to try and sell me out. She did all of these things on her own and now I have to figure out a way to get her out of it.
"It's all about how you and your club fix this. You're leaving out a key player again. I'm tired of riding the bench when I should be the one calling the shots. When you claimed me as your woman, I didn't think it'd be just in name. I don't want to be the ol lady that sits in the room only to be seen and fucked but never heard. Either we're going to do this together or I'll figure out how to do this on my own."
I open my mouth to argue but instead, I snap it shut and smile. Of course, Nisa would find a way to shut me up all while knocking me down with the truth.
"Why do you have to be so difficult?" I move closer to her and wrap my arms around her waist squeezing her gently. It seems like she challenges me at every turn and even though I should beused to it, I'm not. The way she can get under my skin is so damn sexy. I feel my body reacting to her being so close and all I want to do is throw her down on the nearest surface and take her.
I can't.
Not just because I know she's still an emotional mess because of what happened today with her mother and brother but also because she's a virgin. As much of a beast as I am I know I want to take care of her. When I ram through her innocence I don't want anything else on her mind but me. The wait is going to kill me though. I lean down to press a kiss to her lips. If I can't feel her under me I at least want to sip at those enticing lips.
Just as I feel her lips brush against mine, the door to my room bursts open and Creek slides in. "Prez, we need you now."
"What the fuck is going on?" I quickly push Nisa behind me but instead of staying there, she shifts so she's by my side.
"Rumble's brother showed up. They're going to fucking kill eachother." Creek rushes out and I'm right on his tail. I look out into the main room and sure enough, I watch as Rumble and a man I don't know are beating the shit out of eachother.
"Rumble!" I scream at him and race to get where he is. The brother looks at me for a second and that's all it takes for Rumble to get the jump on him.
In a flash, I watch as my sergeant at arms pulls his weapon and places it flush against his brother's temple. Shit just went from bad to worse in a blink of an eye.
"You're fucking dead." Rumble growls.
CHAPTER 24
A PLAN FORMS
Leo
"Rumble! Calm down." I rush to get where they were just fighting.
Everyone else has back down but Rumble still has his gone pressed against his brother's temple. He's nearly foaming at the mouth.
"Can't do it. This motherfucker has to die." Rumble doesn't take his eyes off his brother who has the nerve to be smiling up at him. Taunting Rumble to end his life.
"Rumble, I'm not going to say it again." I bark at him and take another step closer to the danger.
