I don’t even think, I plow my fist hard into his face. The club has been going easy with Bull since his injury. Fuck that shit. I’ve had it. He falls back on the table it turns on its side and dumps him on the floor. He lays there wiping the blood off his lip, staring up at me. The club members around us were already pretty quiet watching us, but now you can hear a pin drop.
“Fuck you motherfucker, you lay off my woman. She’s mine and by God you will give her the respect she deserves in this fucking club.”
“You need to start thinking with your head and I’m not talking about the one on your dick,” he responds, making no move to get up.
“And you need to stop feeling fucking sorry for yourself and get your head out of your ass and help your brothers. We fucking helped you when you needed us,” I growl and stomp off, time to find Dragon.
“Does your woman know where Dani is?” I ask right outside of Dragon’s door—my anger still at a head from dealing with Bull. Not to mention, every minute that Dani is gone my gut clenches. I am feeling like she’s playing into Michael’s hands and I’m blaming myself.
“Nicole is sleeping fucker, step back into the main room and we’ll talk,” Dragon tells me as he closes the door to his room.
“Fuck, that. I need to find Dani. Does your woman know where she is or not?”
“You need to step the fuck back, man. I told you Nicole is sleeping. She cried herself to sleep and by God she’s going to rest. You feel me?”
I rake my hands through my hair, and follow Dragon back the way I just come. “You don’t understand Drag, this bastard will hurt her.”
“You knew about this shit?”
“I knew she was running. Didn’t know what from, until all this shit went down. She left me a note, a fucking note!” That’s kind of a lie, but I need Dragon to help me here, the rest of the fucking shit I’ll deal with after I get my woman back.
We walk past Bull who is standing now and gives me a fuck you look, as we pass.
“Something you want to tell me, brother?” Dragon asks when we make it into his office. The other members, including Bull, join us and close the door.
“She’s mine, Dragon. I’ve got to find her and you can either help me or get the fuck out of my way,” I tell him. I know I’m out of line, but with every minute that passes I don’t give a damn.
We go back and forth and I’m tired of it. When I point out to him that if it was Nicole instead of Dani involved he’d react differently. I guess he had enough. He grabs me and slams my back hard against the wall. I don’t fight him. I know I’ve fucked up. I’ve fucked up for everyone involved. “You need to calm your ass and sit the fuck down.”
“Nicole is involved, motherfucker. Now you need to listen to me. Step. The. Fuck. Down. Do not cause me more shit, because all that will do is slow us down.”
“I will find her, Dragon.”
He goes on some more, but I ignore it. I need to plan out my next move, because it’s becoming apparent I’m on my own when it comes to protecting my woman. When Dragon brings up the guy we captured I turn my attention back to him.
“Where’s our guest?”
“Frog’s sitting on him at the shed,” Hawk speaks up.
“Call Frog, tell him to let the son of a bitch go.”
No. Fucking. Way. He can’t let our only lead go! What the fuck is he thinking? “The fuck you will, that might be the only lead we have back to Dani!” I yell before I can stop myself.
“Crush, man, I’m not telling your ass again,” Dragon says, and honestly he keeps talking, but all I can hear is the incessant need to find Dani, in my head.
“We need to work him over and find out exactly what they know about Dani. We can get this Michael’s whereabouts from him that way. None of this cat and mouse shit,” I argue.
“Get the fuck out!” Drag orders. The room goes silent.
“Damn it, Drag! We have to…”
“You’re not hearing me motherfucker, I said, get the fuck out. I can’t deal with your shit right now. You are out of this until you manage to get your head out of your ass, untie the knot in your balls, and listen to sense.”
“Drag!”
“Get out, motherfucker! Now.”
I look at my brother and I want to literally rip him apart right now. Fine. I’m on my own. I prefer it that way. Fuck him. I guess when it’s my woman it’s not important. I’ll save her my-own-damn-self. Fuck them all.
