Devil’s men chuckled.
“You the pimp around here, pretty boy?” Devil asked.
“Yeah, you want to start working on my land you’ve got to pay a fucking fee. These are my girls, and this is my fucking lan—” Devil slammed his forehead against Rob’s. There was only so much shouting he was going to accept. He hated pimps and especially pimps who forced girls into the lifestyle. The girl he’d been beating didn’t look older than seventeen. When Rob grabbed his nose, he landed a blow to his face. Rob went down, and he slammed his foot onto the guy’s junk for good measure.
Rob screamed like a girl.
He noticed a lot of women were cheering at him for beating on the fucking pimp.
“Now, let’s see if I’ve got this right. I own this place. Name is Devil, and I’m president of Chaos Bleeds.”
“Fuck you, prick.” Rob made to spit on him.
Pressing Rob’s face against the tarmac, Devil waited for him to scream before lifting him up. The girl Rob had been beating on looked, terrified.
“It’s time for you to say sorry.” Dragging Rob across the ground by his hair toward the girl he saw Curse was talking to her, stopping her from running away. “What’s your name, honey?” Devil asked.
“It’s Judi.”
“How old are you, Judi?”
“I’ll be eighteen in three weeks.”
“You telling me you’re not even eighteen yet?” Devil asked.
“No.”
The desire to end Rob was strong, but he needed him to put the word out about Chaos Bleeds. Once the word was out, Rob was going to be his.
“You will not fucking touch her again. If I see your face around here I will put a bullet through your motherfucking skull. Do you understand me?” Devil asked.
“Yeah, I get it.”
“Say sorry,” Devil said.
“I’m not saying sorry to that fucking slut.”
Rob’s hand was flat out on the ground. Lifting his foot, Devil brought it down. He heard the crunch of bone as Rob squealed like a girl.
“I’m sorry. I’m so fucking sorry.”
“That wasn’t so difficult, was it?” Devil asked. “Get the fuck out of my sight. I see you once more then you’re fucking dead.”
The pimp scrambled away trying to run so fast.
“Judi, are you okay?” Devil asked, crouching down to look her in the eye.
“Thank you. Thank you so much.” She moved to her knees and then wrapped her arms around his neck. The young girl sobbed as her frail body trembled.
“Get her cleaned up. Where’s your parents?” Devil asked.
“Gone. They’ve been gone a long time.”
Hating the world, Devil handed her over to Curse, who then handed her to Death. They’d take care of her. Girls her fucking age should be loving life not dealing with shit-heads like Rob. He despised pimps. Women who were not willing shouldn’t be forced into any kind of lifestyle.
Shaking his head, Devil headed toward the front of the apartment building.
“Who are you looking for?” a woman in her thirties asked.
“None of your business.” He headed into the building and started climbing the floors until he came to the right one.
“Is this girl a whore?” Curse asked.
“No, she’s a stripper. Vincent likes her, or at least I think he does.”
“He’s turned into a pussy with that woman of his.”
“I wouldn’t tell him that. He’d cut your dick off,” Devil said, standing outside the door. He stared at the wooden door knowing it wouldn’t stop anyone from getting inside.
“What’s the plan?”
“I get in and get my kid.”
“So no plan.”
Devil shrugged. He’d not thought anything through. Trying the door, he knew it was locked. It was going to need a little more strength behind it.
Chapter Three
After a couple of hours’ sleep Lexie was up to attend a screaming Simon. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, she picked the young boy out of the bed. She changed his diaper and then headed into her small kitchen. The apartment was so small, but it worked for her at the time. It was better than being on the streets.
“I’ve got you,” she said, humming as she warmed him up a new bottle. She was so tired, but he came first.
Walking around the small space she hummed to him as the bottle warmed up. Testing the bottle, she slotted it into his mouth watching him suck on the teat. Suddenly, she tensed as her apartment door was kicked open. The locks were nothing against the brutal force of the two men making their way inside.
She closed her mouth as she saw Devil walk into the room. The other man she recognized from the strip club.
