Derek

Dropping Eve off at my place never got any easier.

In fact, it was getting harder by the day, knowing that as our love grew and we got closer, my chances of dying were also growing and getting closer to becoming a reality.

When we got back to my condo, I went to the elevators and pushed the up button. But when she got on, I stayed behind.

“Baby, I can’t go up with you,” I said. “We both know that if I go upstairs, I ain’t coming down. And we got a mission. Roost’s orders.”

Poor Eve looked on the verge of tears as I told her this. I’m not sure what was sadder, this, or that I knew she knew I had to do this. She was so ingrained in the Saviors that by now, she probably could have partook in our strategy meetings.

“OK,” she said. She came out of the doors, leaned forward, and kissed me. “I love you.”

“I love you too.”

She pulled back, refusing to break eye contact with me as the doors began to close.

“Don’t do anything stupid.”

I didn’t get the chance to respond, but if ever truer words were spoken, I wouldn’t want to hear them, because they wouldn’t have been as relevant as Eve’s were right there.

“I guess I have no choice now,” I said, smiling to myself as I got on my bike and hurried over to the shop.

Despite the abrupt ending, something had changed between Eve and me on our date. Something good. I felt stronger from it, felt the surge of excitement at going out on the chase. Maybe it was as shallow and crude as finishing inside of her without any shame, but I think it was something much deeper than that.

I’d briefly gone over Falcon at the dinner after the neighborhood raid, but this conversation went into the full extent of it all. It was a much more detailed insight into what I knew—really, close to everything I knew—and it could have been too tough for me to say. Perhaps before Eve, it would have been too tough to tell it as raw as I had been, but now?

It was… well, not easy, but certainly manageable.

Nevertheless, such sweet sentiments needed to be put to the side. It was time to go to war. It was time to investigate another potential lead.

I parked in the back of the shop as other Savage Saviors drove off to explore their own potential leads. When I got inside, I saw Roost standing, arms crossed, with three of our biggest, toughest, most badass men we had.

“Derek,” Roost said, nodding. “Ya know these boys, but just so I can remind ya not to be a damn fool, let me reintroduce ya.”

I didn’t bait into the trash talking if Roost was going for that. It was too serious.

“We got Rucker, real name Mike. Rucker, like the other two, served in the Marines and did a tour in Iraq. Ya ain’t gonna get anyone tougher than him. Middle man here is AK, real name Alex, cuz he loves his rifles.
