Nick

As soon as Victor had entered the room, I watched Ella head straight for him. No matter what I said, she didn’t trust me. Not that I could blame her. Jackson arrived out of nowhere to block her path. I didn’t trust him. He’d come too quickly up the ranks to take his place as Victor’s number two. Damien resented him, and so did most of the other men in the crew, but Jackson didn’t seem to care. He wasn’t out to make friends.

I didn’t like the way he looked at Ella, like a predator.

I had no right to feel jealous, but I barely managed to quench the fiery desire to knock Jackson out for looking at her that way.

I led Ella away from him as he watched us in the cool, calculating way he had.

“Nick, this is ridiculous. You said I was here to see Victor, and now you won’t even let me see him.”

I looked down at her. “I will. We just have to get out of here for a while.”

“I’m not leaving.” She folded her arms across her chest and looked so determined that for a moment I was at a loss for words.

“It’s for your own good.”

“My own good? I think I’ll decide that thank you very much.”

“It’s going to get heavy in here. It won’t be pleasant.”

I reached for her arm, but she pulled away from me.

“Why? What’s going to happen?”

Before I could answer, there was a loud cry from behind us. I wrapped my arms around Ella, pulling her back away from the men who were dragging someone into the bar.

It took three of them to hold him still. The scrawny figure wasn’t much to look at. He still had teenage spots, but I knew he was Darren Mills, and twenty-one years old. He worked at the gas station in Blackthorne, and he’d been brought here for justice.

Behind the group of men who were dragging Darren along, was an older man. I hadn’t seen him before, but I knew who he was. His name was Brian McManus, and he owned the gas station where Darren worked.

I felt Ella press her body against mine, and I could sense her fear. “What’s happening, Nick?”

I shouldn’t have told her. I should have kept her safe and protected from all of this, but perhaps if she knew the full story, she would realize how dangerous this lifestyle was and how bad I was for her. It could be the thing that turned her against me. That thought hurt, but if staying away from me kept Ella safe, that was how it had to be.

“The man they’ve brought in to see Victor, Darren Miller, raped a sixteen-year-old girl.” I nodded at Brian McManus, the old man stood behind them, his face plastered in misery. “That’s the girl’s father.”

Ella had grown pale. “What’s going to happen to him?”

“That’s up to Victor.”

Ella shivered against me. I pulled her closer and fought the overwhelming temptation to scoop her up and carry her out of there.
