“Got a lot of people making their way over here. You got shit down there good?” My gun came out of its holster as I held it, waiting for the new arrivals. No sense in pretending that I thought they were enemies.
“I’ll send some up for you to get your ass down here and see this shit,” he replied and hung up. Whatever he needed my ass down there for wasn’t going to be pretty, but there was no doubt I wanted to be a part of it. As long as they all ended up dead, I didn’t give a fuck. I just wanted to set my eyes on it because I knew the Ravage MC would do what was necessary.
Ravage brothers filtered out of the building, guns at the ready and eyes scanning.
“There.” I pointed to the people, to which they had to turn around to see.
“On it,” Nox said.
I turned to Dryerson. “Have his back.”
Dryerson’s angry eyes turned to me. “No fuckin’ shit.”
He never liked being told something that was a given. It was the man he was.
I nodded, moving quickly through the building and back down to the dank basement. My heart kept thundering, but on the outside I was calm as could be. Training. Plain and simple.
Entering the room, bodies littered the floor along with puddles of blood. The crimson road was on fire, and I didn’t give two shits. I’d learned long ago that when you were in war, the casualties you took out were enemies of the state. At first, I had difficulty. I still remembered the first man I’d killed, but it made me stronger.
The Ravage MC men were scattered around the space. Deke, Ryker, and Jacks had three men surrounded and were taking in the room, while Ryker and GT were next to the nine men attached at the wall. They appeared to be on their last leg.
My father approached me, coming to my side. “You get anything from the girls?”
I relayed what Ensley had said then looked to the floor to seeing a man in a huge puddle of blood. “My guess is that one is Daniel.”
“According to those assholes over there, yeah, it is. Daniel is a piece of fucking work.” My father pointed to the wall. “Those old fuckers are the elders, and Daniel was draining their blood. Figured we’d just put ’em out of their misery and be done with ’em.”
“Sounds good to me. What do we do with the ones alive?” I asked, walking to where Ryker stood with his gun pointed at the three men who were still alive while my father took off in the other direction.
“Well, funny thing is...” Ryker pointed his gun at the one on the left. “That one is my brother.” Then he pointed to another. “And so is that one.” Then he pointed to the final. “And low and behold, that’s another. One big, happy fuckin’ family.”
“You know you don’t want to kill us,” the one on the right pleaded.
Ryker’s wild gaze turned to the man. “You don’t know shit.” Ryker fired a shot into the man’s foot. He jumped up and down out of pain, screaming at the same time.
Ryker looked to me. “We gotta burn all these fuckers.” Ryker nodded to a large circle affixed to the wall. “Cremator. In these fuckers’ eyes it’s the worst punishment they could get. Saying they’ll go straight to the Devil or what the fuck ever.”
“Alright. I’m down,” I replied.
Ryker laughed. “I’ll see ya there, motherfuckers, and when I get there, I’ll do this a-fucking-gain.”
“You mean shootin’ them in the head isn’t enough?” Deke asked.
Ryker shook his head. “Fuck no. However, they die on earth, and we’ll send them straight to the pearly gates, unless they burn. In fire, they don’t ever make it.”
Cruz came up. He was the end all be all of what would happen here. Personally, I’d like to just throw them all in the fire and let ’em burn. Dead or alive. That might be wrong, but to me they had hurt Ensley or stood by and watched it happen. To me, that was instant death.
Sooner they were all dead, sooner I could get back to Ensley and Remy.
“Ryker,” Cruz called, and Ryker approached. “Which one of those fuckers is Ensley’s father.”
Ryker pointed. “He’s on his last leg, the fourth from the right.”
Cruz turned to me. “You wanna do it?”
“Fuck yeah.” Loved how he singled that man out for me to finish off. Might only be a prospect, but I truly felt like the Ravage MC family.
Cruz swept his arm out, and I went right to the man.
