W – You’re goin to regret that.

Grinning, I respond.

B – I can’t wait.

“This is fucked!”

The roaring of a man has me jerking awake, my eyes hazy as I figure out where I am. When I remember I’m at the club, I begin to focus more on the yelling coming from downstairs. It’s angry and whatever is happening, has chaos unfolding down below. Pushing out of my bed, I rub my eyes as I open the door to better hear what’s happening.

“This isn’t up for discussion,” Colt’s smooth voice fills my ears. “The decision was made long ago, Theo. Don’t fuck with my choices.”

“He has been in prison for twenty fuckin’ years and now he’s here, runnin’ the club as if he knows what has gone down. He has no fuckin’ idea what we’ve done in that time, and you’re here givin’ it over like he does.”

Oh.

That doesn’t sound good.

“He knows more than you could possibly fuckin’ imagine, and the decision to put him in charge was mine and mine alone. You don’t like it, you can fuckin’ take a step out that door, but you know what will happen if you do,” Colt growls, his voice scarily low.

What will happen?

What does happen if someone leaves the club?

Do they die?
