"Always man," I groan, getting off my bike. "What if I fuck up and she gets hurt or worse?"
"Dude, you got to stop with all these what ifs, man. Kira will be fine. She's at the bar almost always helping you out, and if she's not there, she's at your house and you have a top-notch security system installed in both places."
"I know, man but I just can't shake the feeling the storm is coming, and I don't know if we’re going to survive it."
We walk towards the entrance of the warehouse and Razor stops me before we enter.
"Well, have you ever thought that maybe you’re the storm? I'm going to be straight with you man, brother to brother. I know how much you love this girl and I see how much she loves you, but there is only so much she can take."
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
Poking me in the chest, Razor sighs. "See, this is the shit I'm talking about right there. That fucking attitude and you constantly snapping at her is going to cause the love of your life to walk the fuck away from you and never look back."
I sigh and run my hands through my hair. I can't believe how my behavior has been these past couple months.
"Have I really been that bad?"
"Dude, you been a total prick to everyone, but mostly to her. Even Dani says she's talked to Kira about what's going on because she's caught her crying for no reason. You're pushing her away. I don't know if you're consciously doing it or not, but you’re doing it."
"She's been crying?" I ask to my dismay at the news that my woman is sad because of me.
"That's what Dani said when me, her, and J.D. were hanging out the other night. J.D. and I had to talk to your sister out of ripping your fucking balls off. Listen man, Kira is as close to a sister I've got, and I'm telling you, you need to fix it and fix that shit fast or you’re going to lose her. We all are going to lose her."
I groan as I think of all the shit that is going on. "The thing is, Razor, I can't fix shit until she's not in danger. This shit with Adrian and his boys ain't nothing to play with."
"Man, you got to talk to her and tell her where this attitude of yours is coming from. You know what she's been through. I guaran-fucking-tee you she thinks whatever is going on with you is her fault. She believes she's done something to make you act that way towards her."
"I would never blame her, man. She knows my world revolves around her and I'm nothing like that ex of hers."
"Well, you can't tell that you’re different from him by the way you've been acting, and I'm being real with you. Sure, you haven't beat her ass, and you haven't tried to fucking kill her, but your attitude stinks just like his. D, last week you went all ballistic on her for mixing up the damn liquor order. A minor mistake that’s simple to fix. You are treating her like crap man, over some petty shit. She's a good woman. She’s making excuses for your dumb ass, even going as far as saying to me that she’s the one starting these arguments, knowing damn well it’s you. She doesn't deserve how you've been treating her. You're better than that, and she's fucking ten times better than that."
"I just don't want to lose her. She's my world. I don't know how to keep her safe man."
"Just talk to her, man. Let's finish this meeting first, then head back to the bar so we can talk about how you can fix this shit before Kira’s not around for you to fix it."
I'm fucking up.
Razor places a hand on my shoulder as we walk into the warehouse. I nod my head, agreeing to further discuss my relationship with Kira later.
"All right, Demons United, we got some shit to discuss!”
I walk in and stand in front of my brothers waiting for everyone who is not a member to leave.
"All right, Davis and Loco, post up at the door. Nobody gets in here," I order as the meeting gets started. “We have a big problem.”
"Is it that fucking German? What's he done this time?" Larry groans.
"He's been trying to move product and weapons through our territory for the last few years, but as long as we had the Bratva backing us, he couldn't do anything."
Razor places his hands behind his head and leans back into his chair. "And now, since our very own crazy ass motherfucker named Sefu has killed off all the Koshenkos, except for that bitch Natalia, Adrian is making his move again."
"I bet you my life that his connection is Natalia because he can't move through our territory without having one," Larry answers.
"That's my conclusion. I talked to Uncle this morning, and he said she's gone deep underground, but I let him know I think she may be resurfacing. So, of course, he wants to be the one to kill her. Something about leaving no one alive."Crazy motherfucker.
"So, what do you have planned, Demon, because we need to handle this shit quick," Larry says.
I look to both Larry and Razor. "Flush Natalia out and give her over to Sefu. Then take Adrian out once and for all."
