It takes a second for the words to make their way into my brain. When they do, I double over and shout out, “Fuck!”
I feel a hand on my shoulder and look up. Timber is looking down to me. “Get your shit together, man. We got to get Jenna home.”
I slowly straighten up and walk into the clubhouse, doing my best to hide my fear. All my brothers freeze up as soon as they see me, each wondering what I’m going to do. I can’t let them see that I have no fuckin’ idea. “When’s the last time anyone seen her?”
Daisy pulls away from a group of old ladies that have converged in the corner; each one with tears streaming down their face. “She told me she had to go to the bathroom. That was about twenty minutes ago.”
I look towards Rum. “Bring me Krista.”
For some reason, I just know she’s the key to all this. She can tell me what I need to know. I just need to get information from her.
His face goes pale before he responds. “She’s not here, Pres.”
“What the fuck do you mean, she’s not here? I put you in charge of her ass.”
He nods, “I know Kidd. I was watching her, I swear. I just came down to get her lunch, and Ice called me over to ask a question. I wasn’t away from her door more than ten minutes. I made sure the lock was secure before I left her. She must’ve climbed out the fuckin’ window.”
That stupid bitch! She probably did this, and I put Jenna right in her hands by making her stay at the clubhouse today. I’m gonna put a bullet in the bitch’s fuckin’ head, and not even blink an eye afterwards. No one fucks with my girl.
Jenna
I wake up with pain pounding through my head. Shit! I slowly open my eyes and look around. My vision is fuzzy, but I think I’m at the club’s warehouse. What the hell am I doing here? The question barely passes through my mind when Timmons walks up and crouches down in front of me. “Finally awake, Jenna. That’s good. I wouldn’t want you to miss any of the fun.”
I have to stop myself from shrinking away from him. “What do you want?” I whisper out, causing my head to pound even more.
An evil smile crosses his face. “I want my old lady back.”
I close my eyes to hide the fear I’m feeling from him. I can’t let him see that I’m afraid. Even as a kid, it didn’t take me long to figure out that he got off on my fear. “Well then, you better go look for her, ‘cause I’m Kidd’s old lady.”
As soon as the words leave my mouth, he sends his fist flying into my face. The pain is so severe, I can’t stop myself from crying out.
I hear him chuckle before he places his hand on my leg and starts running it up and down my thigh. “I missed you, sweet thing. It’s gonna be so much fun having you back.”
The feel of him touching my body makes me angry, so fuckin’ angry. He has no right to lay a hand on me. I’m Kidd’s woman, but even if I wasn’t, Timmons should never touch me again. “Get the fuck away from me.”
His chuckle turns to a laugh. “Oh, yeah. This is gonna be fun.”
“Why?” I ask through clenched teeth.
“I told you, I wanted my old lady back.”
I start to shake my head, but stop when the pain starts again. “No, you stupid fucker. Why the hell are you here now? If you wanted me so fuckin’ bad, why did you wait so long?”
He straightens up and starts to pace across the floor. “The old man, he wouldn’t let me come. Didn’t want problems with Big Clifty crew. My own fuckin’ father let them take my woman away and didn’t do shit about it, but that shit’s changed now. Dear old Dad’s got Alzheimer’s, barely even knows his own name. Since your Dad is running the show now, I can do whatever the fuck I want.”
I close my eyes again. This time to hide my pain. He did it to me again. My father gave me to a monster again. “As soon as they figure out I’m gone, Kidd will know you took me. There will not be a rock big enough for you to hide under.”
He stops pacing and looks to me, another evil grin crosses his face. “But that’s the beauty of my plan. See, right now, my ass is sitting in Mateland, at least that’s what Brew’s going to tell Kidd.”
“Kidd already knows you’re here.”
He shrugs. “I was here, but I got home early this morning. I came down here to get my other bitch back, but when I couldn’t find her, I left. Even if Kidd doesn’t believe Brew, there’ll be nothing he can do. The stupid fucker’s still letting his dad lead him around by the balls, even though the bastard’s dead. I know his dad told him to keep the peace with my father, so he won’t lay a finger on me.”
