"Alright, who is still here that was outside?" I push all my feelings about what happened to Nisa out of my mind. I need to focus.

"Zero, I think. Everyone else is at the hospital. Saint had to go too." Tella says.

I reach for my chair and fall into it. I know I should be grateful that none of my brothers died. This shit could've been a lot worse.

"Get Zero in here." If I didn't get anything from him, I'd have to try and track down some of the guests. The only fucking problem with that is there are no god damn lists, no sign-in sheet for who the fuck was here. We'd literally have to go around town and try to remember who was here tonight to ask them anything. That's a fucking headache I don't want.

Lash quickly goes out and gets Zero. He's dirty but doesn't look injured in any way.

"You seem like you came out unscathed." I eye him carefully.

"Yeah, I was standing farther away cause I was smoking a bogey. You know Spike is trying to quit; I didn't want him to be mad." Zero is a prospect for us, and I'd patch him over today if his trial period were over. He's a good kid. We call him Zero because he's a fucking whiz at all that computer shit. He used to build websites and do coding work. It all looks like a bunch of gibberish to me whenever I see him work, but then again, I've never needed to learn that shit.

"Did you see who did this?"

"No, I didn't see." He looks away for a quick second. He hesitates slightly before he opens his mouth again. He shakes his head before closing his mouth, not saying another word.

"Zero, don't fuck around." I'm harsher than I need to be, but people could've died. If he has information, I want every drop of it. "You've got more to say, spit it out."

"Look, I know you're going to be upset about it because I know there's history with her." My stomach drops when I catch on to what he's saying. Whatever he knows has something to do with Nisa. Zero stares at me for a second, "Right before everything went to shit, Nisa was outside talking to one of the guests, but it wasn't a happy conversation from what I could see. Spike and the rest of them were on the other side of the patio ." Zero sighs heavily and continues, "She was crying and saying what looked like 'please don't.' I figured he was breaking up with her or something, you know, none of my business. I see the dude walk away, and it looked like she was going back into the clubhouse. I don't know what she saw or why she stopped, but she turned toward the guy like she was going to call him, and then boom."

Everyone in the room turns to look at me as Zero continues, "I don't know if whoever she was with did it, but If there's anyone who knows what happened, it's her."

This shitcan'tbe fucking happening.

I drag a hand over my face. I don't want to believe Nisa has anything to do with this, but it'd make sense.

Her brother died riding with us. I guess she was due some revenge.

CHAPTER 5

RUNNING FROM NIGHTMARES

Nisa

I feel like someone is swinging a sledgehammer against my head. The hammer smashes against my skull with each pump of my heart. I open my eyes, and the muted light from the hallway outside is enough to make me turn over in agony.

The doctor said I'd have headaches but it's only a small side effect. He said that I was lucky to be alive and that it's a miracle I wasn't more severely injured.

How does a brain hemorrhage not qualify as severely injured?

I slowly sit up on the hard mattress and press the buzzer for the nurse. I need something for this headache before I bash my head against the wall.

I've been in the hospital for the past week, and though I'm feeling better, the doctor's still don't want to let me leave until I have a better handle on the pain. I was brought in with swelling, a brain bleed, as well as a nasty gash on my scalp. I'd have a bald spot for a while, but it's better than the alternative.

Death.

My phone vibrates loudly on the small dinner tray. I don't need to look at the screen to know who it is.

Marc.

My bad decisions are finally coming back to bite me in the ass. I don't know how I got involved in this mess, but it's too late for me to walk away. Hell, it was too late for me to walk away the moment that bastard knew who I was.

The vibrating stops for a second and only to start right back up again. My breath hitches as I try to keep myself from crying.

I can't deal with this. I can't deal with him. I need to go someplace where he won't find me.

"Hey darling, you rang for me?" Mallory, my night nurse stands at my door, she's usually one of three that work overnight, but I don't think I've ever seen the other two. I feel bad she's stuck doing all the work. I wouldn't have buzzed her if I didn't need it.
