Ven walks in first, and the rest stay back making a perimeter. For not being trained at all in this shit, they are doing a great job.

“What the fuck happened, where’s Olive?” He asks, looking around for her.

“She took off after she beat the shit out of these fuckers,” I smile proudly.

“I knew she was a baddie,” Brit smiles.

“We’ll start looking for her. Groups of two everyone,” Brit tells them, they all pair off and start looking for her in every direction.

“Why is he still alive?” Ven points down to the dude on the ground.

I didn’t bother learning his name since he won’t have one much longer. When I’m through with him, he will be a sack of bloody meat on the floor.

“I’m keeping him to find his boss. This is bigger than just these four assholes stalking her. Someone hired them to stalk her. They went out of their way to find people from her past to do it. We need to figure out who this fucker is.” I jerk the guy’s head back. “And this piece of shit is going to make sure we do, isn’t he?” He nods frantically.

“Yes–yes. I swear I’ll help however I can. Pl–please don’t kill me. I have kids,” he sputters as tears and snot flow from his face.

I spit on him, covering his face and eyes with my saliva. He cringes.

“You’re fucking scum. You have a family and you are out here stalking an innocent fucking girl? Are you kidding me?”

Jayce walks in front of him and knees him in the chest. I let go of his head and he falls to the ground with an “oof.” He lays on the ground, still.

“Stay the fuck down. Your kids are better off without you anyway.” Jayce commands, walking behind him, he twists his arms around his back and loops handcuffs onto his wrists.

“We need to find our girl. Can you get him somewhere?” Jayce asks Ven.

Ven nods. “Yeah, I’ll take him to the gym. He’ll be in the basement. I’ll stay with him until you get there.” He lifts the guy, the man stumbles but follows.

“Take someone with you. No one does anything alone when it comes to these fuckers got it?” I demand. He nods and walks off, two of the guys follow him.

“What do we do about this?” I point down at the men on the ground.

“So uhh, about that,” Jayce says as he rubs his neck. He pulls a radio out from his pocket and I roll my eyes, always a fucking cop.

“Come on out,” he says.

The State Trooper who followed him into the house when the knocking happened, walks out of the shadows in full blacked-out tactical gear. His rifle hangs in front of him on his sling.

“ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW JAYCE?” I shout before I grip his collar.

“I told you one fucking rule, we don’t talk about any of this shit, and you brought ANOTHER FUCKING NARC into the mix.” I shake him. He pulls away from me, shoving me off of him.

“I saved his wife from some pretty deep shit, years ago, before I was a cop. He isn’t going to say shit,” he says.

The trooper walks up to me. “I owe Jayce. He saved her life and got her away from some nasty people, doing very illegal things. Jayce is the reason I joined. I’m not going to say shit.” He nods at me, pulling his mask off his face. “Nice to meet you, I’m John.”

I glare at him before I take my phone out of my pocket and take a picture of him with the bodies behind him.

“I don’t know you John, and I don’t trust you. Now I have evidence you were here. If you fuck around, I will go to the cops with this. You understand?” I send the photo to my cloud so it can’t be deleted.

John sighs. “Fuck, are you kidding me? I’m not going to do shit. Whatever, man. Don’t let that photo get out.” I nod.

“It won’t. I, unlike Jayce,” I glare at him, “actually know how to keep a fucking secret.” I put my phone back in my pocket and stomp off.

“I’m going to handle the cleanup. You guys go find Oli,” he says to my back as I walk away. Jayce runs up behind me grabbing my arm, pulling me to a stop.

“I’m sorry, man. I knew if I told you you would freak and we didn’t have time for that. I know he isn’t going to do anything. It’s the only reason I brought him. After the shit went down with his wife, life got busy and we laid low. We didn’t talk for years, when I saw him the other night it reminded me that we did have help we could call in here.” He grips both my shoulders. “Oli is my entire fucking life. I wasn’t going to risk it just beingus. I knew the club was coming, but I wanted more firepower just in case.”

I sigh. I understand where he is coming from, but fuck. It’s already a mess with one cop involved, now there are two.

“Whatever, man. Don’t keep shit from me in the future. Got it?” I push my finger into his chest, but he just pulls me into a hug.

“We’re going to find her. Now let’s go,” he whispers in my ear. I kiss his cheek and he pulls back blushing.

“Let’s go find our girl,” I say, and walk out into the desert.
