I had no clue how to use it, but it was a weapon, and I was a fast learner.
“Did you find something?” my sister asked, but before I could answer the door to the bedroom burst open.
The phone fell out of my hand and clattered to the floor as Dryerson came at me like a bull seeing red.
I lifted the gun and fired.
Bang … bang … bang … bang … bang … click … click … click.
Dryerson fell into me, landing us both on the bed with him on top of me. I scrambled like I never had before, climbing out from underneath him while still clutching the gun.
Dryerson didn’t move. I watched for his back to rise and fall with breaths, but they didn’t come.
Nothing.
My back hit the wall, and I slid down to my butt.
I wept. Hard body-wracking sobs.
I’d killed the man I loved. The man I thought I’d spend the rest of my life with. The man who had my heart in the palm of his hand. The man I’d finally thought would be my happy.
Then he ruined it.
Ruined me.
For good.

DRYERSON
I rodemy bike like I’d stole it, weaving in and out of traffic. Horns blared around me, and I didn’t give them another thought.
Katie.
I had to get to Katie.
He had her.
The last report was Ensley told Katie to find a weapon. Then we took off.
I had to get to my woman.
I’d fucking kill that son of a bitch. Blood? Fuck him. He was no one to me.
Micah was right beside me with many of the Ravage MC behind us. The ol’ ladies were in Micah’s SUV with Austyn at the wheel driving like mad and needing to get away from the cops. Ensley was riding shotgun, doing the GPS. I had to remember that and let them lead, but it was hard.
Katie. My Katie. He'd hurt her.
Fuck.
I had no fucking clue. Nothing. Not even looking myself up to try to find my birth parents just to find they were dead. Nothing. And I mean nothing led me to think there was another one of me out there.
My mind reeled the entire drive there. The hour drive took about thirty minutes, and as we made the turnoff, I let Austyn in front of us. She had the GPS and would lead the way. Then she’d get the fuck back with the rest of the Power Rangers.
They led us into a subdivision, and there was no way to miss where the action was. Police cars were everywhere. Lights, guns out, the whole nine yards. We didn’t know these cops, so this was going to be tricky.
I had a will… I’d find a fucking way.
