"This isn't to protect us, Kira. This is to protect you. The Feds already want to talk to you, and this keeps you from knowing about where we handle some of our business if it ever comes up. Keeps you from having to lie."
“Well, at least tell me if we’re about there." I huff and cross my arms over my chest.
"Yes, we’re about five minutes away. You are about as bad as a kid you know that?" He laughs.
"Shut up!"
"I'm glad you came back, Kira. You are like my little sister, and it sucked when you left."
"I know, Razor, and you’re my brother, but I was hurt, and the only thing I could think to do was to get far away from him, to run.”
“You know when D wakes up, and he finds out about this shit, he's going to fucking kill me."
We both laugh because know we’re going to be in some trouble when Austin finds out what we have been up to while he’s been in a coma.
"Yeah, I know he's going to be pissed, but I need to find out if she did have anything to do with all this. I feel this need to protect him in whatever way I can. Then you guys can do whatever you want. I just need answers."
The vehicle comes to a stop.
“We’re here. Leave the blindfold on until I tell you to take it off.”
“Are you serious?” I scoff.
He gets out of the truck and walks around to the passenger side to help me out. “Kira, this is for your own good now stop complaining, damn."
He helps me out of the truck. Grabbing my hand, he moves me forward only a few steps and tells me to stop. The creaking of a door he tells me to move forward again, taking a few more steps before we stop again.
"You can take it off now. And don't ask where we are because I'm not saying."
"Okay...Okay... just calm down. Where is she?"
He points towards a big metal door. I move towards the door pushing open and there sits Natalia, restrained and clearly angry. My uncle is casually leaning against the wall across the room as if he doesn’t have a care in the world.
"You bitch! You did this shit! Do you know who I am?" she screams as I walk closer to her.
"I don't give a fuck who you are. What I care about is finding out who tried to kill Austin.”
“Fuck you, bitch!” Natalia sneers. “He’s mine! He will always be mine until he breathes his last breath!”
Taking in a deep breath to calm my anger, I take a step closer to her and grip her by her chin. I lean forward, look into her eyes. "Natalia, I don't give a shit at this point what happens to you, and that should really scare you right now given the presence of that man leaning against the wall." I point to my uncle and he graces us with a smile. "All I need to know from you is who did this to Austin."
"I'm not telling you shit!" she yells and spits in my face.
I take a step back wiping her spit from my face.
I glance over at my uncle and Razor as they both nod their heads, confirming they will not interfere. I bring my attention back to Natalia and slap her hard across the face.
"Tell me what I want to know."
"What the fuck are you going to do if I don't?" Natalia scoffs.
I raise my fist, hitting her in the face a couple more times. "Now tell me what I want to know! Who tried to kill him?"
Blood streams from her nose. "Oh, you think a couple of hits are going to make me talk? Bitch, I'm fucking Bratva, a princess. You’re going to have to do more than that." Natalia laughs, spitting blood out of her mouth.
I take my hand, grip her by her neck and squeeze as a small smile stretches across my face.
“Kira...Kira let her go!” I hear Razor yell as the color of her face begins to change.
