Chapter 27

Tank

Viper and Lug go up to make sure Lilly is settled and to talk to her. I am waiting at the bar for them to come down so we can go deal with our prisoner. And no I’m not drinking. I have a bottle of water in my hand. Ever since Lilly’s accident I haven’t touched one bit of booze or a bunny. After Lilly was loaded up in the ambulance and I talked with Viper I decided to get my shit together. I was never going to get my girl if I was drunk and had a bunny hanging off me all the time. So I dropped them both.I even went to Ryans and got myself tested. I always keep my dick wrapped but I wanted to be a hundred percent sure one of the bunnies didn’t give me something. I even got my hair cut, beard trimmed and made sure I wear clean clothes everyday to look presentable to Lilly. Shit I didn’t care about before. Yes, I know she can’t really see me but in time she will be able to feel me. Soon, I hope. I can’t wait to get her in my arms. I know I need to give her time to heal. And I will because I don’t want to hurt her even by accident. But that doesn’t make me any less eager to feel those big tits pressed against my chest and my hands firmly on her incredible ass. But I will settle for holding her in my arms. Or a chance to kiss those sweet lips.

Viper and Lug come down twenty minutes later and come straight for the bar. Ace has been sitting beside me, lifts his head and asks “ How did it go?” Viper sighs like a huge weight has been lifted off of him. “ It went well. We explained everything that happened. She agreed that it was a jackass way to confront her.” Viper laughs. “ She tried apologizing for not telling us. I told her that she didn’t have to. We invaded her privacy and shouldn’t have done it. In the end Lilly offered for all of us to start again with a clean slate.” “ I told her the reason I told you guys about her singing is that I’m so damn proud of her I wanted to show her off. Viper backed me up and we agreed when she is feeling like it we will take her to rehearsals again. And work with her to get her back on stage. Man, she lit up when I told her that. ” Lug says with a smile.

“ So are we good with Lilly now? She is going to let us help her?” I ask. “ Yea, we are good. But Lilly doesn’t want any bunnies near her. She fessed up that they have been hurting her. She is resting now.” Viper says. Good, this is my chance. Viper looks up and sees Goof over at the pool table. “ Prospect Goof.” Goof drops his stick and comes over. “ Prez?” “ I got a job for you.” Viper says, pulling some papers from his kutte handing them to Goof. “ I want you to go to the pharmacy and get all of those prescriptions filled. I want you to wait there until they are ready. The other is a list of things Lilly wants. Get everything on it.” Viper grabs his wallet from his back pocket but Goof waves him off. “ I got Miss Lilly covered.” he says and leaves. Viper looks at Ace and me “ Are you ready to do this?” I just stood up. I’ve been ready.

We get to the basement where the soon to be dead fucker has been locked up. Brick, Rowdy and Thor are waiting for us. As the enforcer I would usually take point on these things. But this piece of shit went after one ours. A woman at that. We are all going to get in the action. Brick unlocks the door and we file in the room. In the middle of the room the guy has his arms locked into chains that hang from the ceiling. His feet in cuffs that are bolted to the floor. The only light coming in the room is from the one in the center of the brick room. No windows or other doors. We don’t use this room much but days like this I’m more than happy we have it. Ace, Rowdy, Thor and Brick go to a dark corner of the room to wait their turn.

Viper and I walk up to the guy. As soon as he lifts his head I instantly recognize him as one of the guys who hit Lilly. The one I didn’t shoot. I ball my fist ready to land on his face. Viper looks at me and I nod to let him know that this is one of the guys. “ I’m going to ask you some questions. If I don’t like the answers you are going to be in a world of pain. Got it.” Viper says. The cocky son of bitch smirks and answers “ Fuck you.” Viper gives me a slight nod. I walk up pulling my brass knuckles out of my pocket and punch the guy as hard as I can right and the gut. The guy hunches over coughing. Good. I want him to feel so much more pain. “ Let’s try this again.” Viper says. “ Name?” “ Fuck off.”the guy says. I walk around to the back of the guy and give him a solid blow to his left kidney. He grunts and bends his back trying to get away from me. Nowhere to go asshole. “ Name?” “ Kiss my ass.” he says. I go for the right kidney. I am going to have fun with the asshole. I can already see bruises forming. For every hit I give this guy I picture my sweet Lilly rolling on top of their truck. I picture her in that hospital bed with a breathing tube down her throat covered in bruises. He doesn’t know pain yet. “ Name?” “ Mike.” Well that didn’t take long. “ Now we are getting somewhere. Why did you try to kidnap the girl?” Viper asks. Mike doesn’t get to hear her name. “ Don’t know what you're talking about.” Mike says. Stupid fucker he was caught running for Lilly’s room. This time I go around to his front and kick his right knee. He screams out as I hear it crack. I see my brothers in the corner grinning. They want this slime ball to feel as much pain as possible for what he did to Lilly.

“ Try again.” Viper says. “ A buddy was hired and he brought me in to help out.” Mike answers. “ Who hired you?” Viper asks. “ I’m not telling you anything else.” Mike yells. I go for the gut again. I’m saving his face for later. He can answer questions with a broken jaw. “ Tell me.” Viper says. Viper looks like he is cool and collected. He isn’t yelling or getting in the guy's face. On the inside I know he is burning with fury. And a cool and calm Viper is even more scary than a pissed looking Viper. Mike says nothing so I hit him again this time in the ribs. I can hear at least one crack but I’m betting it is more. Mike is now wheezing. “ Try again.” Nothing from Mike. I go to his side. “ One more time.” Viper says. Mike is wheezing and panting. “ I” Gasp “ Don’t know.” Gasp. “ Was never told.” Mike says.

So this Mike dude is just hired help. “ Why go after the girl?” Viper asks. “ I don’t.” Mike doesn’t finish before I kick his other knee. Mike yells out and I give another jab to the gut. He is wasting time. We need to know why someone is after Lilly and who they are. “ Was told she owes the guy that hired us. He was going to sell her virginity to the highest bidder to get his money back. Then we could have her for ourselves.” I don’t wait for Viper to give me the go ahead, I just start punching. I know I get four good hits in before Viper stops me. How dare they think they can use my girl like that. Lilly is no one's toy. “ How did you find her?” Viper asks. “ My buddy was told she was hanging out here. Said when you got tired of her you would kick her out for being a waste of space. We just had to follow her until the time was right.” Mike grunts out.

“ Why does the guy that was hired think she is still a virgin?” I want to gringe at this. This is no one's business. But I also can’t stand the thought of one of my brothers touching her. Of them using her as a toy for a night of fun. She is worth so much better than that. “ Mike just laughs “ You see her. Who would want her fat ugly ass? She is worthless other than a hole to use. I’ve seen the women you have around here. Even you guys don’t want the girl other than hired help. None of you guys even touch her.” I hear a growl from one of my brothers to the side. I step back and Ace steps up and lands blow after blow leaving Mike’s jaw the only thing untouched. Hearing this slime say those things. Things I have said in the past the only difference is I never meant any of them, Mike on the other hand does. How can someone look at Lilly and not see her beauty? How can they not see her smile and see the room light up? How can they hear her sing and not know how incredible she is?

“ Your buddy. Who is he?” Viper asks. “ His name is Gab.” “ Where do we find him?” “ He hangs out at Grifs. And lives on West 8th street.” Figures the pieces of garbage would hang out at Grifs. That bar is nothing but low lifes. Viper gives Mike a good solid punch to the jaw. “ Boys, he is yours. Keep him alive until we have all the players. We take them all out at once.” Viper motions for me to leave with him. As we leave I hear Mike screaming. I gave you what you wanted. Let me go.” Oh, no. That isn’t happening.
