Gray

“You have to get me back in there. Guys, please.” I moved toward the doors and Gunner and Brock blocked me, moving to head me off.

They were bigger than me by a solid sixty pounds each. No matter what I did, they would be able to stop me. What I had to do was convince them to let me do what I needed to.

Brock ducked down, his eyes hard to make out with his back to the lights of the club and the night sky covered with clouds. He spoke calmly. “Look, Gray, you can’t go in there. They want your blood. They think Sonya’s killer is the girl who fought her last week – that’s the people who know she’s dead. The ones who don’t care if they hurt you in revenge, who want to hurt you.” He knitted his eyebrows. “Do you understand that?”

I inhaled, my nostrils widening with my breath. “I get more than you think I do. I’m not an idiot. But do you understand what’s going to happen in there? Stryker is going to fight to the death. We can’t allow that. Either he is going to die or he’s going to kill someone else.” Why weren’t they panicking like I was? Was I the only sane person left in the world? Why was a death match even okay? I knew it was illegal, but it wouldn’t be talked about outside of the Russian circles or those of us who were present.

For Stryker’s fight, I had to be there. I needed to see it. He needed me to see it, whether he knew it or not.

Was I broken or something? Since when did I need permission to do anything? I lifted my gaze from where it had fallen unseeingly to the ground and I squinted at the two Jamesons. “I don’t need your permission. You can’t stop me from going in there.” I knew they could, but I hoped they wouldn’t.

Gunner glanced at Brock, shaking his head. “We can’t be seen.”

“We can go in the back. There’s a place above the offices we can watch from a window.” I pointed toward a hidden ladder to the top that I’d used when I first found The Pike and watched the fights before I’d gotten in on my own.

Bruce had once told me the ladder was in place for when stray cats got stuck up there or in case Jedediah needed to escape a bad gambling shark or something. He always had Plan Bs and other things in the background.

Brock and Gunner followed my finger with their gazes. They glanced at each other and then reached for my arms as if I needed to be dragged between them.

I shook them off, making myself walk to the ladder behind the bushes in the rocks without help. I would never get them to let me do things on my own, if I couldn’t walk or climb a ladder on my own.

A surge in the crowd’s applause and screaming pushed through the walls.
