She flounced herself into a corner of the couch and folded her arms. I have time for this shit. “Look talk or walk, your choice.”
“I thought Danny said you were cool.” What was she five?
“And how do you know Danny?”
“I went to school with his sister.” Why was this kid giving me attitude?
“So you still haven’t told me what it is that you want from me.”
“You saw them, I need to be protected from those goons.” ‘Those are your dad’s men you grew up around them didn’t you?”
“So, what does that mean? I need protection from them, something’s wrong. I think they had something to do with my dad’s death.”
“And what makes you think that I will help you?”
“Because my dad said you would.”
“Say what now?” What the fuck game was this?
“Yes.” She opened her purse and pulled out an envelope and handed it to me.
“Here, he left me this.” I watched her as I took it from her hand. I opened it up and took out the sheet of paper already regretting taking that shit. I moved away as I unfolded the paper all the while questioning why the fuck I hadn’t just sent her away as soon as she showed up here.
I knew who she was as soon as I let her in the door, but the shock of seeing her here had slowed my reflexes. Now it was too late, because sucker that I am, I can’t leave a female in distress. As much as I hate or hated her sperm donor, it wasn’t in my creed to just turn her away. And after seeing and hearing what Sanchez had to say, I knew there was something very shady at play here.
I hadn’t factored in any of this shit when I made my play. Why the fuck would I? The girl had never been anything to me, so she never even crossed my mind. What a fucking mess.
Chapter 2
STONE
***
I looked down at the paper in my hand and raw emotion hit me in the gut. There was anger, and disgust that he’d even think he had the right. Fucking asshole.
‘Stone, I know you’ll find this hard to believe, but I need your help. I need you to watch out for my daughter. If you’re reading this then that fuck Sanchez found a way to get rid of me. I’ve known for some time that he’s been after my spot in the MC.’
I found that shit funny as fuck. Someone had done to him what he’d done thirty years ago. Why the fuck he should think that I would care was a fucking mystery. I read on to see what the fuck was going on in his head when he wrote this shit, but a little wary of what he would reveal in his little note. There were things left unsaid between us, things that I had heard one side of my whole life but I had never been given the opportunity to get his side of what had gone down before I was even born. I read the rest of his words with trepidation.
‘He’s in bed with the MK’s. They wanna run drugs through the west and they needed me, but I said no fucking way. I don’t want that shit in my own backyard. Sanchez is a greedy fuck, he made a deal behind my back.
The only way he’ll hold onto the crew without a schism is if he marries my daughter, that can’t happen. I’m leaving everything to her, in care of you. I know we’ve always had our differences but I always knew you were an upstanding guy…
I stopped reading there because this was some afternoon special shit. Who the fuck…
“What does it say?”
“You didn’t read it?”
“No.”
“Then how did you know he said you can trust me?”
She held out her phone with a text on the screen. It said ‘if anything happens to me, get to Gavin Stone.’ This shit was getting stranger by the second. I couldn’t think of one reason, why this should be happening. I hadn’t said two words to him my whole life other than ‘fuck off’ when I was a teenager and he’d found himself trying to talk to me.
Since then we’ve avoided each other even when he tried shaking me down, or using his men to do it. There was nothing in our history to justify what was going on here.
“I got that two days before he died, the envelope was in the secret place in my room. I found it today after the funeral. He always left little surprises for me in there. No one else knew about it. This one had your name on it.” She was back to being nervous and unsure of herself.
Huh! I always knew life was trying to fuck me and this is the proof. “Where were you when your dad was killed?”
