But the stupid fucker doesn’t let go of my hair, nor Lynn. She’s sobbing hard and my stomach clenches at the heart-breaking sound.
Trey punches him hard in the face, yanking him away from us, but that just causes him to grip tighter, and I’m pulling right along with them, but he lets go of Lynn.
I push Lynn away from me, and Vinny grabs the hand holding my hair, trying to pry his fingers open.
Trey punches him over and over, but he just won’t let go.
“Stupid motherfucker!” Trey growls. He takes out his gun. “Cover her ears!” he yells, and Vinny covers my ears.
Trey shoots and he lets go of my hair, Trey yanks him away from me by his hair, giving him some payback.
Vinny picks me up off the ground, holding me tightly and pulling Lynn closer to him. “Are you okay?” Vinny asks the both of us, and I just can’t talk. I’m in shock that this just happened.
Lynn is hysterical, clutching Michaela, and Vinny is on the phone, yelling at someone to hurry.
I look behind Vinny just as I see another man come in looking like the other guy but older. “Vinny!” I scream and reach for Etta before he can grab her.
Vinny runs over, grabbing the man by the throat and lifting him off the ground, then he slams him back down. He makes his god-awful sound as the air leaves his lungs.
“Who the fuck are you?” Vinny roars in his face, and I can’t help but flinch because I haven’t seen this side of him before.
“I’m here for my wife, get off of me!” he screams and tries to push Vinny off. I take both of the girls and walk farther away.
People are watching, shocked this is happening. Michaela is crying and scared, and I don’t know what to do.
The screams of Lynn’s husband stop suddenly. I glance over to see Trey stuffing underwear in his mouth and tying him up with a bra.
If I wasn’t so freaked out I would laugh at the hilarity of the situation. Lynn dries her eyes and I hug her tighter.
Trey walks over and pulls me into his arms, along with Lynn and Etta. “Are you okay?” Trey asks me, touching my head where it was pulled.
“It’s sore,” I admit, and he growls again, glaring down at him.
“You will never see them again after this day,” Trey informs us, and I know he’s being honest.
A few minutes later the police walk in with my brother and some other members of the Devil Souls MC.
Jordan shakes hands with the police, and they walk away before even entering the room. What the fuck?
Jordan walks in and comes straight to me. I hug him tightly. “I missed you, bro.” I squeeze him tighter and he returns it.
I look at the other guys who have joined us. A very huge guy bends down and picks up Etta’s husband like it’s nothing. The patch on his cut says Butcher, and the other one who grabs Lynn’s husband is named Torch. Then they leave right out of the back door like nothing happened.
“Come on, let’s get home.” Vinny picks up our things and throws money on the counter to pay for it all, then we leave.
They tuck us in between them. I hold both of the girls, who are beyond shaken. Vinny and Trey are furious. I can feel both of them shaking.
I help the girls get seated and I buckle in myself. I let out a deep breath, relieved that we’re out of there.
Trey touches my face softly. “Are you okay, baby?”
“Yeah, I just want to get out of here. What I’m feeling is nothing compared to them,” I point out and look at Etta beside me. She’s as pale as a ghost.
They didn’t get hurt. I got the brunt of it, but their pasts coming face to face with them had to be terrifying.
Vinny
Fucking terrified is something I never felt before until I heard Lani yell for Trey. He took off and I ran to grab Michaela, who was playing happily.
The sight of Lani being dragged along with my sister was enough to cause me a lot of sleepless nights.
I am beyond pissed. Tonight we’re going to interrogate my father and the girls’ two husbands to get all of the information we can get.
The Grim Sinners volunteered to help. We don't know how big of an organization it is, but we are not going to go in unprepared.
I want to stop this. I hated seeing the scared looks on the girls’ faces after suffering abuse at the hands of this fucking cult.
Lani and the girls are asleep on the couch. Trey has been glued to Lani’s side since we got home and he made sure I was close too.
This shook him up.
We have to leave and go to the club. We have a prospect outside of the gate and one in front of the house.
Trey and I slip out of the door, locking the house down with our phones. The prospect is sitting on his bike in front.
“Get your ass over here,” Trey demands, and I walk over. He grips the back of my neck, pulling me to him hard, kissing me.
I allow him to take what he fucking wants from me. “We are going to settle this shit. We will make it right for your sisters and our Lani,” he informs me, his eyes lit with fire.
Trey
We pull our bikes next to the others. My brothers are already here and the Grim Sinners MC is here too. I recognize Lane’s bike and his Smiley’s, his dad.
I open the door for Vinny, and we walk down to the basement. It’s the house of fucking horror down here.
Many evil motherfuckers have died down here and I have had the pleasure of ridding this world of scum.
Chrystal opened a women’s shelter and we offer the protection. Anyone who poses a threat to them, we take care of it.
Doesn’t matter if it’s women, men, children. You abuse someone, you pay for it with your skin. But this?
This is fucking personal. Seeing Lani being dragged by her hair and her hanging on to Lynn so she didn’t get taken off will forever haunt me.
I saw the pain on her face, the panic but the determination to protect Lynn, and I fucking love her for it.
But that shit makes me want to fucking beat every single person involved until they’re on the verge of death and then end it.
I push open the door and Vinny steps inside. The eyes of our brothers and the Grim Sinners turn towards us. Right in the center of the room is Vinny’s father and his sisters’ husbands, hanging from the ceiling in chains.
Kyle, our President, steps forward. “Are the girls okay?” he asks.
This is why he’s our President. If he didn’t give a shit and we all took care of each other, then I would have taken Vinny and left.
“They’re asleep. Lani’s head hurts because this fucker dragged her.” I glare at Lynn’s husband. I want to fucking tear him limb from limb.
“Did I mention that she’s my sister too, fucker?” Techy comes out of nowhere and hands Torch his laptop, then punches Charles hard in the face.
“But she fucking protected Vinny’s sister and held on so he couldn’t drag her away.” I smile at that.
I hate that she got hurt and was scared, but I’m so proud of the way she protected Lynn. She didn’t hesitate and did whatever it took.
Kyle steps forward, going straight to Charles and gripping his tightly. “I heard you liked to beat my brother here when he was a kid. He’s our family. You know what we do to people who hurt our family?”
