ZERO(The Skulls, 6)(67)
“There is. Get Whizz out alive, kill the bastard, and let Nash and Lash know there is someone walking around the hospital. They deserve some justice. Prue and I will make do and take Alan out.” Zero looked at her.
She trusted him with her whole heart. Tears filled her eyes knowing this could be her last day on earth. There is no one else she would want to spend it with than with Zero. Smiling at him, she tugged him down to kiss his lips. “Come on, let’s go and face the music.”
Ten years they’d been apart, and now in some sick twist of fate, Alan had brought them back together. Holding Zero’s hand, she made her way out of the room and toward Alan.
Chapter Fourteen
“You’re going to let them do this alone?” Devil asked.
Tiny turned to look at his men and then at his friend. “This is what Zero wants. We’ve got to get Whizz and then to the hospital.” He lifted the phone and made the call to the two of his men. Once he told the two brothers about the danger he hung up.
He was torn in two over what to do. In all of his life he’d never left anyone behind. Zero had proven time and time again his loyalty was to The Skulls.
“I’m not letting them do anything alone. Do you think I like the thought of my men and their women hurting? It fucking kills me inside.” Tiny slammed a palm to his chest. “Just once I’d like to get by in peace, but we’ve all got a fucking past, and it always comes to bite us in the ass one way or another.”
“Get the fuck out,” Devil said, looking around the room.
Tiny gave a nod of his head for his men to leave.
“You can’t leave them alone.” Devil faced him with his arms folded.
“We’re not going to leave them alone. We can’t exactly go following them on our bikes either.”
The far door opened. Tiny had left his cell phone on for Eva to hear the whole conversation. There were tears in her eyes, and she held a set of keys out toward the men.
“I know where they’re going,” she said. “I’m tagging along. I know the road quite well.”
His heart gave out. Eva was a strong woman. She matched him in all things.
“Baby, I can’t let you drive us out. He’s a lunatic.”
“So? I grew up with lunatics, and I’m no stranger to a man’s anger. I will not stand idly by while Zero and Prue die because of this fucker.” Eva held the keys to her heart. “You’re taking me, or you’re not going anywhere.”
Walking forward, Tiny watched her take a step back. “Baby, go and get in the fucking car. We’ve got a man to fuck up.”

“You don’t have to do this,” Zero said, glancing over at his woman.
They were sat in the car about to pull out of the lot.
“I have to do this. He killed Trevor. I’m not going to let him take this from us.” She was rubbing her temple, staring straight out of the window. He caught sight of the diamond ring on her finger. When all of this was over he was going to marry this woman and claim her for his own.
“That doesn’t mean you’ve got to stay with me,” he said. “This is not your fight. I hurt this man, tortured him. He’s coming for me.”
She shook her head. “We’re in this together.”
Taking her hand, he pulled out of the compound seeing his men, The Skulls, watching them all go. Butch was there at the end. Zero bit his lip seeing his friend watching them leave.
“We’ll get through this. It’s going to be fun.”
He chuckled. “You’re the first woman I know who will find this coming fight fun.”
“I’ve never been in a true fight before. This is going to be hardcore.” He felt her hand tremble within his.
“Where do you want to go for our honeymoon?” Zero asked, changing the subject.
“Really? You want to talk about that now?”
“Why not? We’re going to have that conversation anyway, so why not now?”
He worked his way out of the town, watching everyone pass as if nothing had happened.
“I’d like to go somewhere hot,” she said. “How about the Caribbean?”
“Nah, I don’t want the Caribbean. I want somewhere cold so you’ve got no choice but to wrap up warm with me.”
“If it’s warm we can be naked without fear of dying,” she said. “I’ll even wear a bikini for you.”
Zero groaned. The thought of seeing Prue in a skimpy swimming set was too much. His cock thickened, and all he wanted to do was drive them to the nearest airport and take her away.
“We’re going to the Caribbean, and you’ll wear a lovely bikini, which I can take off with my teeth,” he said.
