“Okay, so Master appeared abouttwelve years ago, or at least the rumor mill, texts, emails, alertsthat people had tried to hide, but the internet isn’t like yourstandard paperwork.There’s always a trail, a long, dirtytrail.”

“Get to thepoint!”

Charlotte rubbed her hands together to tryto warm herself up.Her gut was twisting as Whizz spoke.Master wassounding like a ghost that couldn’t be caught.

“Master doesn’t act like everyoneexpects him to.He’s cruel, and there are times he employs minionsto do his dirty work, but that’s not always the case.What makeshim different is the fact he likes to get his hands dirty.No oneknows who he is as his name has never been mentioned before.Theyonly know him as Master.He’s unpredictable.”

“And this son of a bitchhas an issue with me?”

“Yes.”

Gash cursed and shook his head.“You’ve got no idea who he is?”

“No, none.I’ve got clues.He’sinto everything when it comes to trafficking.There are no limitsto what he’ll sell.For himself, he only takes women, and most ofthem end up dead, discovered months after they were taken with abrand on their thigh.”

“What the fuck is this man’sdeal?”

“I don’t know, but I’m trying toaccess all the CCTV in the area that Devil texted me.I’m going tofind this fucker if it kills me.Just make sure my girls are lookedafter,” Whizz said, cricking his neck and getting to typingagain.

ChapterFourteen

“We need to go shopping forsupplies,” Steven said, coming out of the pantry.

Charlotte swallowed her porridge andwatched as Lash cursed.Gash rubbed the back of her neck as thetension in the club mounted.

Ever since the news that one of ChaosBleeds crew had been taken and injured it had set all of The Skullson edge.The kids were behaving, which was a surprise as Charlottehad heard the women speaking of them being terrors.

“Fuck!We need food.Devil willbe arriving in a couple of days.He’s packing his women up, but hedoesn’t want to risk leaving Spider.We’re waiting for him to wakeup, and so far, he hasn’t.”

“I can go,” Charlotte said,speaking up.She wanted to go to the store to pick up some clothesfor herself, and some supplies.It had been well over a week sinceshe’d gone to the store for herself, and it would also give her achance to call her boss up, and let him know she wasn’t returning.In time she’d also need to empty out her apartment.Maybe she couldpick up a paper so she could start looking for places for her andGash to live.

“No,” Gash said.

“What?”She turned towardhim.

“You’re notgoing.”

“I want to go.There’re somethings I’d like to get.”

“I said no.”

She felt the eyes of the club focus onthem.“You know, I’ve put up with a great deal of your shit sinceyou came back into my life, and for the most part, I accepted it.Iwon’t be going alone, right?”She looked around theroom.

“I need to go,” Sally said,speaking up.

“I’ll go,” Stevensaid.

“Me too.”This came fromInk, Adam, and Twisted.

“See, I’ll be more thansafe.”She cupped his cheek.“Please, I want to go and get somethings.Let me.”

Gash sighed, and after several secondspassed, he nodded.“Fine.I’ll come—”

“I need you here,Gash, to lookover our other supplies,” Lash said.

She saw her man grit his teeth,clearly not happy with being told that he couldn’t do something.Hereally didn’t like being told no.

Charlotte laughed.“See, we’re both goingto be busy, and we’ve both got stuff to do.I’m going to pick us upa newspaper as well.We can go apartment hunting.How does thatsound?”
