Tank's Property(35)

Tank moved forward, slammed his fist into Spike’s nose, and heard the sound of bone crunching.

“I should have shot your ass when I had the chance,” Spike said.

“Yeah, you should have, but you were too worried about coming after my girls.” He punched Spike again. Faye started crying, and he heard his Brothers rushing in.

“I got this,” he yelled at the MC Patches. This was between him and Spike, and Tank was the one that was going to end his life for everything he’d done to the people he cared about.

Spike lifted his hand, the gun glinting under the light for a second, and fired. But there was only the sound of an empty barreling clicking. Spike slammed the butt of his gun against the side of Tank’s face, but Tank threw his arm out, pushing it into Spike’s gut. Spike stumbled back, but at the same time raised a knife he pulled out of his boot. He lunged forward, but Tank darted to the side before the blade connected with his side. Tank rose up and aimed his gun right at Spike.

“You bastard.” The sound of Lila screaming out filled the room. It was like it happened in slow motion. She had set Faye on the bed, and that’s when he saw Bunny was up and awake, using her body as a shield for the little baby. His woman was crying, bleeding and bruised, but she was awake, and he was so fucking relieved because of that.

Lila had a gun in her hand. Where she’d gotten it from he didn’t know, but she had it aimed right at Spike. She was calm, collected, her focus on Spike. “You ruined my life, made me afraid to even breathe.” Her hands were shaking as she held the gun.

“You were nothing before me, you little fucking bitch.”

And then his baby sister pulled the trigger, the bullet tearing right between Spike’s eyes. Tank had wanted to do this slow and cause a lot of pain, but it was clear Lila needed this for closure. She was stronger than she gave herself credit for.

The room was silent as the events came full circle.

The rest of the MC moved up behind him, and he looked over his shoulder, seeing all the men, even Ruin, who had been unconscious, standing there looking at the carnage.

He moved over to Wrath, felt for a pulse, and although it was weak the man was alive. Before he could say anything other members and prospects of the club rushed in Some of them held first aid kits, while others had weapons, ready to go to war.

Tank looked at Spike. “Motherfucker.” He took a step toward Spike’s dead body.

“Tank,” Lucien called out.

“I got this,” Tank said, his focus still on Spike. Tank wanted to kill him again, wanted to snuff out his life. He leaned forward and spit on the asshole. He then kicked him hard enough Spike’s body slid across the floor and slammed into the opposite wall. The smear of blood covered the ground. Faye started crying again, and he heard Lila trying to soothe the baby. He turned and looked at his sister, his niece, and the woman he loved all close together and sitting on the bed. They’d endured so much, and now had to witness this shit.

“Everything will be okay.” He addressed Lila and Bunny.

They both nodded, and even though things looked pretty grisly right now, he would make sure things worked out. There was no other alternative.

Several days later

Bunny watched Lila pace, knowing her friend was nervous, but Bunny kept trying to calm her down.

“Things will be okay. They’ll bring her back.”

Lila stopped and ran her hands over her pants, nodding. “I know they will, but she was the only genuine and decent person in that shithole.”

Faye started squirming in Bunny’s arms, but she slowly started rocking the baby and Faye fell back asleep.

“Shouldn’t they have been back by now?” Lila asked. “Shouldn’t they have called and told us they have her? What if something went wrong?”

“Stop right there,” Bunny said. “They’re fine. They’re probably just focusing, making sure they get her out of there safe, okay?”

Lila nodded and breathed out. She moved over to the table where Bunny sat with Faye in Tank’s house.

“You’re right. I’m just so damn worried.” Lila looked at Bunny. “Dotty wasn’t like the women that were club whores. She didn’t turn a blind eye to the abuse and degradation that went on. She was hurt just as much as I was, and I hated that she was left behind.”

Over the last couple of days the guys had gone out to Thorne to shut down the rest of Spike’s operation. From what she’d heard at the club the Brothers had trashed the place, and fucked up anyone that went against them. The women were told to go, that they were free, but some were so fucking crazy they attacked some of the guys. But they hadn’t heard if Dotty had made it out, or if she’d even been there. That had been the last thing she heard, and it had been yesterday. Bunny hoped they’d found her, and she wasn’t hurt or … worse. But from what she’d heard from Lila, and seen with Spike and his men when they attacked the club, that gang was off their rockers.
