Chapter 10

I found Gabriel smoking a cigarette by the casino entrance. His dark eyes watched the crawling line of taxis, but he stayed leaned against the wall.

“I thought you were getting a cab,” I said.

Gabriel shrugged. “Can’t leave my bike here. I’m trying to figure out what to do.”

It figured. Biker boys were predictable. Luckily, I’d managed to find someone willing to help us out, and he chose that exact moment to pull up to the curb in his pick-up truck.

Gabriel tossed his cigarette aside and jumped up when he realized who it was. “You!” His eyes flashed wildly, passing from him, to me, and back.

Adrian rolled down the window and strained to look at us. “So where’s this motorcycle, huh?” His face fell when Gabriel began walking toward him with the slow intent of a man on a mission to kill. “Oh, shit—”

Gabriel wrenched the passenger side door open. “What did you do to my ride, man?” he asked.

“What?”

I rushed over and placed a hand on Gabriel’s back.

“It wasn’t me! How could I when I didn’t even know where you fucking were?”

“He’s right, Gabriel.” I felt his heart pounding in his back, but its pace was slowing down. “Let’s just get the bike in the truck. Okay?”

Gabriel turned to look at me, surprising me. The fire was still in his eyes, but it was down to a smolder. For a brief second, I glimpsed the same Gabriel who had been with me upstairs in the hotel room. I shook the image out of my mind. It had only been last night, but it was like a dream.

Adrian drove us through the parking structure to where Gabriel had left his bike. I made sure to sit in the middle, between the two guys. Adrian waited in the driver’s seat and let the engine idle, leaving me and Gabriel to try and heave the bike into his truck bed.

“What now?” Gabriel asked after we slammed the tailgate shut.

I wiped a bit of sweat off of my forehead and put my hands on my hips. “Are you going to be nice now?”

Gabriel made a face. “Don’t do this. I’m sorry if I was an asshole earlier. It’s just that...”

Something tightened in my chest. I was reminded again of last night, and I was afraid he’d bring it up. But when he didn’t, I realized that I wasn’t afraid at all. I was actually disappointed.

“”I made a promise that I’d help you.” He lifted his chin to look me square in the face. “And I don’t break my promises. I’ll see things through ‘til the end.”

There was something temporary about his tone, like he was telling me that after “the end,” he’d be gone for good. I wasn’t sure how I felt about that, so I could only nod along with him.

“Okay,” I said. “Let’s get going.”

The ride back to the tattoo shop was mostly silent. Adrian kept the radio tuned to an alternative rock station, which we all pretended to listen to.
