Would I live or would I die?
Would he allow me to see the light of day or would this pit turn into my coffin?
Only fuckin’ regret I had was not getting to spend my life with Katie. To grow old together and have a family.
But I would not waver. I would not show a single emotion. What would be, would be.
What I didn’t expect was for Cruz to lift his chin at me and turn around, giving me his back. Or giving Tommy his full attention. Which one I wasn’t quite sure yet because GT and Rhys were still at Cruz’s side, glaring at me.
“Teeth,” Cruz ordered. Both Deke and Rhys turned to one another, nodding.
Fuck. Were they going to pull out my fucking teeth? I told the truth; there was nothing else to get out of me.
Rhys started coming my way, but I stood tall. Soon Cooper and GT would hold me down. I’d fight, and all hell would break loose. Ending with me on the ground in a pool of blood.
I never took my eyes off Rhys. When he turned and moved to Tommy, opened his mouth and pulled out a tooth with ease, I didn’t know if I felt relief it wasn’t me or confused about what the fuck was going on here.
“Motherfucker!” Tommy screamed, spitting blood at Rhys. He punched Tommy in the stomach, causing more blood to spray out and for Tommy to gasp for breath.
“Tanner’s gonna be pissed she has to deal with blood again. For that, I’m takin’ another.” Rhys didn’t stop. He did exactly that, and this time Tommy got smart and didn’t spit more blood at Rhys.
“Better,” Rhys said, tossing the tooth to the floor where it rolled and met the other one. All the way down to the roots. Fuck, that hurt.
“Why are you doin’ this to me when him and his friend are the ones who fucked you over!” Tommy practically cried the words out, his persona slipping a bit.
The door to the room flew open, and Buzz and Green came storming in. In front of them was a scrawny man, average height and dark hair.
“Holy fuck,” I whispered, knowing exactly who this was from past surveillance I did for the club. Information was everything in our business.
“Found this fuck head tryin’ to get in to save daddy dearest. Even had a gun on him and everything,” Buzz stated sarcastically. “Tommy, you really need to teach your kid how to use the fuckin’ thing.”
Buzz threw the man, Teddie, to the ground at his father’s feet. “What the fuck are you doin’ here?” Tommy asked him.
“I couldn’t let them…” He didn’t finish his words because Breaker came up behind him and pressed his boot into Teddie’s back, causing him to lay flat on the ground. His father’s tooth was right by his nose.
Who’d have their kid now thirty something be called Teddie. What was he, a fucking bear?
“Well, this just took an expected turn.” Ryker came through the door clapping his hands slowly. “Fuck, I miss all the good shit. So what’s up?”
Ryker was a crazy fuck but also with Cruz’s daughter, Austyn.
“Shut the fuck up,” Cooper told Ryker who held up his hands.
“Who the fuck pissed in your Cheerios this morning?”
“Fuckin’ knock it off!” GT boomed, his voice echoing off the walls. “We have a situation. If you’re not helping with said situation, fuckin’ leave.”
I knew I didn’t have that choice, but it was a nice get out of jail free card that someone could use.
Breaker nodded at the twins, Ax and Raid, who came up. “Lift him and hold him,” Breaker ordered, and they did as told.
“I didn’t do anything,” the little piss ant Teddie said, but that didn’t stop Breaker from punching the kid in the gut. Teddie gasped for air and tried to keel over, but the twins didn’t allow him.
Cruz’s voice rang, “You see, Tommy. You don’t fuckin’ tell us what we want to know. Your kid gets each thing we want to do to you. Teeth…”
Rhys moved to Teddie, then reached into his mouth with the pliers and pulled out a tooth, tossing it to the ground. Teddie cried out in pain.
“Leave him the fuck alone,” Tommy spat, tipping the chair and trying to get out of it to get to his kid.
