I fire up my bike and wait until Norie has put on her helmet and gets her lush ass on the seat behind me.Her arms circle my waist and her tits are pressing against my back.It feels damn good to have her with me, even if I have no clue what we’re gonna find at the brewery.
Swade and Huck not picking up their phone doesn’t sound good.One can be a coincidence, both?Fuck no.Agitation grows the closer I get to the brewery.A few minutes later I’m parking around back, right next to Huck and Swade’s bikes.Nothing seems out of the ordinary.
“Stay behind me,” I tell Norie.
She grabs the back of my cut and mutters, “Bad time to mention the fact that a bullet can go right through you and could still hit me, right?”
I shoot her a glare over my shoulder and she bites her lip.“Sorry.I ramble when I’m nervous.”
“She’ll stay behind me,” Sevrin states and I catch a glimpse of Norie bobbing her head before I step inside.
I’m instantly on edge.There should be a lot of noise, and at least a handful of people working today.Instead, it’s eerily quiet and I don’t see anyone.Reaching for my gun, I notice Heart is doing the same beside me.
We’re moving in the direction of the office when Heart points to something on our left.Fuck.Legs behind a kettle along with a large pool of blood.Stumbling coming from the office drags our attention and I jog up the stairs.The door is locked and I have to grab my keys first.Once it’s open, I step inside and find Swade.
Turning, I grab hold of the door to prevent Sevrin and Norie from entering.“You two are going to wait right here, understood?”
Norie wants to go in but Sevrin stops her.I close the door, knowing Sevrin will prevent her from coming inside.There’s no way she needs to see Swade beaten to a fucking pulp.I have no clue if the man is still alive when Heart squats down to check.
CHAPTER NINETEEN
–NORIE –
Sevrin blocks my view and Fatal closes the door.I know both guys are trying to protect me, but I really want to see with my own eyes what the hell happened to Swade.Whirling around, I rush down the stairs and hear Sevrin curse behind me.
Clearly, this was a spur of the moment action where I wanted Sevrin out of the way so I could pass him and run up the stairs again.Though, what I didn’t think about was seeing Huck’s lifeless body in a pool of blood.
I swallow hard while I keep staring.His eyes are open and it’s as if he’s locked his gaze into a black hole.The guy I’ve known for the past few days, who was nice and chatty, will never say one damn word ever again.
“Motherfucker,” Sevrin grumbles.“I have no clue why your old man insisted you’d come here with us.There’s a time and place for a woman, but this ain’t it.”
I curl my fingers into a fist and punch the idiot in the shoulder.“You did not just say that.A freaking time and place for a woman?Are you shitting me?I hope you meet a badass chick you fall for and shove your foot into your mouth like you did just now.’Cause that badass chick?She’d roast your balls and shove your dick into a meat grinder.Ugh.I can’t believe we’re related.Sexist pig.Thank fuck my old man has more respect than you.”
“What the hell did you do?”Fatal growls from behind Sevrin.
The asshole in question turns to face Fatal and raises his hands away from his body in a “I have no clue” motion.
