Gage turns to face me. “You wouldn’t. I could have you naked with a wink and a smile. Like that,” He says with a snap of his fingers.

“You wanna bet on that?” I say, sticking my hand out.

“Don’t take that bet,” Ryder chuckles. “You’ll lose.” I’m glad he feels confident about me because I know it doesn’t take much for these guys to have me naked.

“You’re on,” Gage says, shaking my hand with a grin.

“Just remember,” I lean in to whisper in his ear, making sure my lips touch his earlobe, “I play dirty.”

Leo laughs. “You’re so going to lose.”

“Two can play that game, Pretty girl. Remember that.” Gage smiles and then slides out of the car, where Zane pulled over.

“I got you, Bright eyes,” Holden says.

We all slide out of the car to meet Micah at Lookout Point. It’s exactly like the name implies. You can look out and see all of Abbs Valley. It is also a place you brought someone to hook up with.

I hug Micah. “Did you get everything?”

“Yeah.” He looks at Holden, “That’s a lot of shit.”

Holden shrugs. “It’s what I like.”

Micah shakes his head. “Ghost and Caden are on their way.”

We all slide onto the picnic tables. “How deep are they rolling?”

“Deep,” Micah chuckles. “They both did damn good with their crews.”

We all fall into conversation, waiting for Ghost and Caden to go over the plan; their crews would meet us there. When they pull up five minutes later, Alexey and Dmitri get out of the back. I raise an eyebrow at Micah. He shrugs. “I guess they’re friends now.”

“That’s scary as fuck,” Ryder laughs.

We quickly go over the plan then hop back into the cars, straight to Club Catch. We park down the street and wait for the cue. Eyes peeled, I finally see everyone run out, covering their noses, smoke billowing out behind them. I smile. “Let’s go.” We each slide our masks down, grab our automatics, and jump out. Micah gave the other guys theirs, and Ghost and Caden’s crews had their variations of Halloween masks on. It looks scary as hell with all of us running toward Club Catch. I love it.

Just like we planned, Ryder, Zane, Dex, Alexey, Dmitri, and I step to the front as soon as we’re inside and open fire, destroying everything in our path. When our clips are empty, we step back, and Micah, Gage, Leo, Ghost, Caden, and Holden step up, doing the same thing.

I tried to keep Holden at home, but he made one of the best arguments I’ve heard. Viktor did this to him; he deserves to have some payback. So Ryder and Zane went over everything with him, made sure he can handle the automatic, and we set him loose.

Everyone with us is lighting it up the other way. I hold up a hand,and the noise stops. There isn’t a thing here that isn’t destroyed. “Viktor!” I yell. “I know you’re here!”

The guys tighten ranks around me when Viktor steps out from the back with four guys walking behind him. I can see the surprise on his face when he sees my guys, plus thirty of Ghost and Caden’s best guys. I wonder if he knows his sons are standing right behind me.

“What is this?” Viktor asks, looking around, surveying the hell I just rained down on his club.

“I came to say hi,” I reply, never removing my mask. He can blame me all he wants, but he’ll never catch me on camera. He narrows his eyes, and I can’t help but laugh. “Where’s Jay?”

I watch his face closely; except for a slight shift of his eyes, his face doesn’t change. That is enough, though. “I don’t know who that is.”

“Cut the shit, Viktor,” Ryder barks. “We already know. Where the fuck is he?” Viktor glares. “Have it your way, asshole.”

“Tell me where my wife is, and I’ll tell you where he is.”

I watch as Alexey slowly raises his mask just enough so Viktor can see him before pulling it back down. “You don’t deserve to know where she is. Where’s Jay?”

“My son!” Viktor yells, a vein throbbing in his temple.

“Sons,” Dmitri answers, not bothering to lift his mask; his voice is enough.
