Not all of Ravage came, which Cruz decreed. He ordered for Micah, Nox, Cooper, Ryker and myself to investigate, while Ax, Raid, Deke and Booker were to protect Ensley and Katie.
He was president, and what he ordered we followed.
Standing at the door, I pulled out my keys to unlock it, but instead just turned the handle. It opened with ease. Putting the keys away, I pulled out my gun and led everyone in. Checking each room, they were all clear.
“Clear,” I called out as Micah was staring at the laptop on the table. “What do we have?”
Micah lifted it, no doubt checking for anything out of the ordinary. Say like a bomb. I wouldn’t have put it past this asshole.
Micah opened up a large silver and black case and began to look inside. The case held tons of tech gear, most of it even the CIA didn’t have.
He pulled out a black box the size of a one dollar bill and several cords. He set this by the laptop.
Me, I wanted to open the fucker, but also knew that Micah was right.
“This’ll test it beforehand to see if there are any bombs, viruses, or worms that’ll be triggered when we open it.” He hooked it all up and opened the lid of the machine that came to life.
Micah’s detector showed nothing. “The damn things not even on Wi-Fi,” he said, surprising me. Tech seemed to be the way to go to destroy people these days, but the twin didn’t do it.
Micah hit the space bar and pressed some keys.
The reflection staring back at me made my skin crawl. He might have looked like me, but he was not a man like I was. He was a fucking dead man, literally.
Micah looked to me. “Ready?”
“Do it,” I ordered, standing behind him with Cooper, Nox, and Ryker standing around us.
Hey, big brother. Looks like you survived, and I didn’t if you’re listening to this.
That voice. No wonder Katie had a difficult time seeing my twin for what he was. So similar. Even the inflections were the same. It was uncanny.
It also means that the plan got fucked up along the way, which pisses me off because it should be me sitting there as you.
“What the fuck?” Cooper asked.
You’re supposed to be this badass Marine and biker guy, but you had no idea I’d been watching you for years. Learning your mannerisms and quirks. Watching you fuck.
My blood was boiling.
I bet that one got your blood pumpin’, huh?He gave off a chuckle.
You had no clue. Fuckin’ watched you in the clubhouse too. That was a fuckin’ joke.
Cooper pulled out his phone, dialed, and put it to his ear. “We need a sweep of the clubhouse, all Ravage houses, and companies. This fucker’s been watchin’ us.”
Always tryin’ to fit in with those assholes. So I thought what the fuck, I’ll take them down too.
“That makes no fuckin’ sense. He wanted to be you and take over your life, yet he wanted to take down Ravage too which is a big part of said life,” Nox spoke, relaying my thoughts exactly.
“I have no clue. The fucker is wacked,” I answered.
It wasn’t the initial part of the plan. He told me not to deviate from it, but … well, you know how it turned out better than I do.
“So he was a pussy who was jealous. Anyone getting anything else from this babble?” Ryker asked.
“You hit the nail on the head,” Micah replied.
“Who the fuck is ‘he’?” I asked.
