“Tug and Buzz!” Dagger shot out. “They’re holding them off. I’m going in.” Dagger jumped into the side door of the cage grabbing one of the autos inside and began shooting at everything that wasn’t us.
“Pops! We gotta get out of here… G.T.’s bleeding bad!” Looking over at Pops, I could see his arms were wrapped around Diamond. “Pops!”
He looked over at me. “He’s gone.”
Vomit seeped into my mouth. Gone? What the fuck? “Everyone in the fucking cage! Now!” I barked as we all loaded quickly. “Fucking drive!”
Buzz jumped into the driver’s seat, speeding down the road right after everyone piled in on top of each other. G.T. lied in my arms while Pops continued to hold Diamond. Dagger was on the phone with who I’d assume was Doc, so he’d be waiting for us. As the cage sped away, the shots ceased, and we somehow got the fuck out.
“Talk Pops,” Zed said from the corner staring at the sight in front of us.
“He’s gone. Diamond’s dead.” His voice was solemn and broken. “How’s my boy?” He asked, looking at me.
“Bleeding a lot. Bullet hit something.”
“Fuck!” Pops yelled. “Drive faster!” he barked at Buzz, who slammed on the gas.
Pulling up to the clubhouse, Dagger, and I carried a barely conscious G.T. in, laying him on the pool table. The gasps came from the bitches in the corner. “Get the fuck out!” I yelled as they scurried away. Doc was already there and waiting.
Pops and Zed carried in Diamond placing him on the couch. Doc went over to him first, feeling the side of his throat. “He’s gone. Cover him up,” he barked, rushing over to G.T. “What the fuck happened here? They shot his fucking artery.”
Doc didn’t expect us to answer but got straight to work on patching up G.T. As he barked shit he needed, Breaker was on the move.
“Lockdown this fucking place, now! Get your families here, now!” Pops barked out as he grabbed his phone and dialed, no doubt getting Ma here.
I did the same. “Princess, get Cooper and get to the clubhouse now!” I said as soon as she answered.
“What’s going on?”
“I’ll explain when you get here. Come now. Load the cage up with shit for us for a couple weeks. And move fast.”
“Got it. Be there soon.” I hung up, going back to G.T.’s side. He lay there completely out of it while Doc did whatever the hell he was doing.
“Go to my van, get the blue cooler. It’s got blood,” Doc barked to no one in particular, but Zed was closest to the door and took off.
After Doc stitched and pumped G.T. full of blood, he removed his gloves, snapping them as he did. “He needs rest and take these meds, but he should live.” He reached in his bag pulling out a vial and needle. “This is morphine. He needs it every four hours for today. I’ll be back tomorrow morning and see what he needs from there.”
“I’ll do it,” I said knowing that Princess would be more than likely the one that would be at his side whether he liked it or not.
“Fine. Put him in his bed and don’t let him move except to get up and piss. He’ll be coming to at any time.” Doc turned to Pops. “What do you want to do with Diamond?”
“Know a guy at the cemetery. We’ll get him fixed up.” Doc nodded and headed out the door.
Fuck! I knew what this meant. We were at war.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to read Princess and Cruz’s story. I absolutely loved writing them and hope you loved Cruz and Princess as much as I do.
Thank you to the following women who took time out of their lives to help me with this book: Lori, Jade, Becky, Sarah, Megan, Melissa, Dawn and Shey. This book is what it is because of all of your feedback and help. I couldn’t have done it without you.
Lori. I don’t even know where to start. Thank you doesn’t seem to be enough, but I’ll start there—Thank you. Not only for your help, but for the countless hours just chatting, learning and talking about books. I am utterly grateful for you—Thank you.
Jo. Thank you.
Melissa—I freaking love this cover! Thank you for sticking with me on all the ‘changes’ to the hunk of a man on the cover. (I do love the black pants.) You are the best!
And a HUGE THANK YOU to all the blogs who took the time to read Ravage Me and participate in the tour.
The next book will be G.T. and Casey’s story.
