That would be his undoing.

“You’re going to hate what Calypso does to you.”

He lifted my top up, revealing my tattoo. He sneered at it, like it offended him.

“Will it be as bad as what you did to me in school?”

He had the grace to look scared. I’d never told anyone about what he’d done, but my behaviour afterwards had earned me detention every Tuesday and Thursday after school for six months. In those six months, I had fallen so head over heels for Adrian that I knew I was changed. He wanted me to embrace the darkness in my soul, he wanted me for me. I didn’t have to pretend to be something I wasn’t for him.

“Worse,” he replied, coldly. “I didn’t do shit to you in school.”

“Oh no?” I questioned. “Forcing your pinprick dick in my mouth was nothing?”

“Your lucky I didn’t open your legs and fuck you with my cock, you stupid bitch.”

I scoffed. “Probably wouldn’t have felt it.”

Slap!

Again, my face burned from the impact. Tears pricked my eyes from the pain, but I held back the sob I could feel forming in my chest.

“I was going to make him take it easy on you, but now…you’re fair game.”

I chuckled. “Make him…aren’t you the president, Johnny? Do you really not have control over your own men?”

Johnny stormed out of the room, slamming the door in his wake. I held back to my laugh, because now, I knew I was in trouble. I could hear the evilness in Calypso’s voice when he had hold of me in the house. He didn’t play around.

And my hands were bound tight.

Whatever he had planned for me, I was going to have to let it happen. Get him at his weakest and attack.

It was my only way back to Myth.

Myth

I reloaded my gun for what felt like the hundredth time, while I waited for word from Frenzy. We’d already gone to all the warehouses they had recently bought up, but they’d all been empty.

It had been a wild goose chase.

They’d planned for this.

They’d wanted me rattled.

“Tell me you have something,” I said through gritted teeth. Frenzy looked up from his computer. It had been two days since she had been gone. He hadn’t slept, and he’d even called in reinforcements of his old hacker buddies to get some answers, and still nothing.

“I’m close, I can see a trail, and I’m following it, but they’re good.”

Fuck.

I swept my hand over my face out of frustration and stood up. “Call me if you find anything.”

Frenzy nodded and I left Chapel. I felt like I had somewhere to be, but nowhere to go. That didn’t even make sense but I was restless and I needed to hurt someone. I needed her back here, safe, with me.

It was agony knowing who had her, and what they could do to her.

Fang was talking with Menace and Destroyer outside the clubhouse, their expressions grim. They knew how serious this was.

“Cowboy’s out walking,” Ink told me as he got up off the chair on the porch. “He’s never not found what he’s been looking for.”
