Storm

*Joseph*

"Why the hell would he help him escape?" I yelled at the others while we walked down the hall. No one in the house would look at me, I could feel the fear radiating off of them. I chose a few of the northern men I recognized and told them to go with Zeus to gather the others for a meeting. I knew who Ark's second was, but I didn't trust him either. Zeus would eliminate him. None of the higher members would be getting his position as I know they knew what he was doing out back. I was about to make a low-level north member very happy today. Then I am taking Sandra right back to the country. I will not risk that psycho ever getting his hands on her again. I would get ahold of Pan to take care of Dime, and get Candy into rehab again, that's what Mason would want. That's what got him killed watching after her. Confronting the detective for feeding her addiction. He left bruises on her once too like the ones he left on Sandra. There was no talking to Mason, he was going to stop him. He got himself killed for that love, for that girl. I won't see her destroy herself now. My mind racing I walked towards our room, glaring at the guard telling him to move. I knocked lightly on the door, no answer. I knocked again. She didnt come. I looked to Henry to unlock the door with his lockpick. When we walked through the door I found her sitting frozen on the bed with one of my pocket knives in her hand. "Sunshine, it's okay. They are long gone. I am going to have Jay and Henry take you to the country house. Zeus and I will follow later." I looked at Jay, he nodded as he walked out to go get a car. We decided not to take her to an SUV. They know that vehicle too well, I made that mistake once, and we sent for a new car. It will have different tags. No one will know the brotherhood owns it. She still sat there with the knife staring off with wide eyes. I knelt in front of her slowly placing my hand on her leg. Her gaze shifted to me, she looked straight into my eyes. She didn't speak. "I know you're scared beautiful, but you are headed to our fortress, the safest haven, I will not let him hurt you again." I could feel the tears in my eyes, my heart pounding my chest.

She slowly shook her head yes as the tears spilled down her cheeks. I wrapped my arms around her as she sobbed into my chest. "Sunshine talk to me darling please." She looked up at me after a few minutes. "He will never let me go Smoke, he will never go away. He will haunt me forever." She forced the words out through tears. "I know I let you down last time. I promise you I will die before he hurts you again my Sunshine. Please listen to me, please go with Jay and Henry, I will be there soon." She shook her head yes. Henry gathered her things and headed for the door. I grabbed her hand helping her stand. We both started walking towards the door. I gave Henry orders to go straight to the country house, taking precautions, though I don't think they have had time to acquire any resources. Zeus should be gathering any information we can get out of Ark's men. He wrapped Sandra's arm around his and started to head down the hallway. I turned to walk towards the office room and saw her walking back towards me. "What's wrong Sunshine? You really should get going." She didn't respond just kept walking towards me. When she got close to me she threw her arms around my neck pulling me down to her lips. She kissed me so passionately that I nearly lost my balance. She pulled my ear to her lips, "You have never let me down, Joseph. Never think that. You have only ever taken the pain away." She pulled back looking into my eyes once more. She mouthed the words I love you, boss, kissed me on the cheek and turned to walk with Henry out. I watched as they pulled away. It was hard not to go with her, to be there to ensure she was safe, but I knew she was in capable hands. I pulled out my phone and sent a short message before heading to find Zeus.

That was not a damsel that left this house, That was a queen,

I headed to the office room and found Zeus talking with a few lower members, when he saw me coming he dismissed them but told them not to go far. I glared at them playing my part as they walked past me shutting the door behind them. "How is Sunshine?" He asked as soon as I walked towards the desk. He started to get up and move from the desk chair but I sat down in one of the others letting him no it wasn't needed. I told him that she was upset but I had seen her strength return as she walked out the door. He nodded telling me that we have to find our enemies and dispose of them so that she could finally be free. I looked up at him nodding to show that I agreed with his words. "What do we know?" I stood up because my mind would not let me sit still. I started to pace back and forth. Zeus started telling me about the men he had talked to. He has three candidates for Ark's position. All low-level members he believed to be best suited for the leadership role. I trusted his instinct in this type of situation. I told him he could pick one, I had too much on my mind to make a good choice. I felt a vibration in my pocket.

From: My Sunshine
You give me streng my King.
I love you, Boss

I felt a calmness come over me as I read the message. I had a message from Henry as well. They had almost made it halfway to the city, He assured me no one had been following them. He was to give me an update every 30 minutes. I put my phone back in my pocket and updated Zeus. He had brought in the first candidate, His name was Blaze. He was a built man with dark skin and intimidating eyes. I was sold pretty quickly on him. He was giving Zeus the answers a leader would give. He told him he was a gun salesman when the brotherhood found him and offered him a better way. He was trying to support his sick mother the only way he could. I looked at Zeus giving him a nod. He brought in a man next by the name of Valen. He was tall with a long beard and hair to match. He also had a very intimidating look. He gave good answers and his story was just as good. He joined the brotherhood right out of prison. He went to prison on some trumped up charge and reached out to the brotherhood from the inside. He was brought in to give him a second chance in life after the system screwed him up. I couldn't help but think he would be great for the position as well. He was a bit older so that may give him an advantage. When he was leaving I told him not to send in the third one. I looked over to Zeus and told him to pick one of the two. "I don't know how you make these decisions. I do not envy you. They both seem like great leadership material. I am ready to follow my sunshine. Pick one so we can finish this up and go." He chuckled at me and shook his head calling for Blaze. When I asked him why he chose him he said it was a feeling. I looked at Blaze when he walked in and told him to handle his shit so I don't have to come back for him too. He nodded took a deep breath and sat down at his new desk. When we were walking out of the office I looked at Zeus asking him what else he had learned. "Ark knew Ryan, he knew he took Sunshine to the peak." I felt my body ignite, "What?" he looked at me with rage in his eyes as well. "He helped him boss, he tried to keep us from going to the peak to help him, and so we wouldn't talk to Luca. He knew Big brought him up here. He knew he was abusing the girls from the south hotel. He paid Ark a few times to use the dungeon." I walked beside Zeus as he told me this while my body burned with rage. I stopped looking at Zeus but standing in front of many of the men in that house, "I will kill them both, If we hear of anyone in my brotherhood assisting them, they will be killed on sight as well!" Zeus nodded and we walked out the front door.

To: My Sunshine
I am on my way beautiful, I can't wait to see you.
I love you too.
