19. Is it OneTwo?
CHAPTER 19
IS IT ONE OR TWO?
Leo
"What the fuck are you talking about?" I pull my hand out from between Nisa's legs as she's yanking her pants back into place.
"What's going on?" Nisa calls out and tries to push me off, so she can get out the door.
This is all like a fucking nightmare. She just had one close call with her mother and now this.
Her mother has already been through a lot of shit thanks to this Marc motherfucker. When we put Ms. Maddy in the safe house, it was to make sure she was shielded from this shit. There's no way that Marc could've gotten this information. Nisa didn't even know the information. Now I need to figure out how the hell he found out where we were hiding her.
"Hold on, Nisa." I grab hold of her and try to settle her down.
"No, fuck that, I'm not going to hold on. I need to get to my mom." She tries to push me back again, but her feeble attempt does nothing to me. The woman can barely stand upright since her brush with death a few days ago. Couple that with the powerful orgasm that just ripped through her body, and she's not going to get more than five feet away from me. She's not going to be able to push me off, no matter how much she tries.
"Damn it, you need to take a breath. We're going to her. Trust me, Nisa." I look her in the eyes, doing my best to let her know that I'm not just going to stand back and let this shit go down.
Unfortunately, the last time I let her run off, she nearly got herself killed. We need more information, we need to come up with a fucking plan.
I fix my hard dick in my pants and both of us open the door to see my club already getting ready to ride.
"What do we know?" I bark out as I make my way out of the room, pulling Nisa behind me.
"They went old school, Leo. Fucking Molotov cocktails. No one got a good look at who it was and by the time anyone was able to get inside the house Ms Maddy had already inhaled a lot of smoke. Her lungs weren't in the best shape to start with from the fire the other day. They have her in the ICU. She hasn't woken up yet." Rumble says and I feel Nisa crumbling behind me.
"Oh god, this is my fault. I'm going to get my family killed. I have to go." She tries to pull away from me, but I snatch her hand, so she pulled back into my chest.
"You listen to me good, you're not going to even attempt to fucking run back to Marc. I don't care if the asshole threatens to blow up the entire world if you don't. Don't let me find out that you've gone against my wishes, either, or we're going to have much more than one problem on our hands. I snarl at her and watch as she clenches her jaw tight. Nisa has always been a very head strong individual. She's used to doing things her own way and making her own trouble, but now that I've claimed her as my old lady that shit is coming to an end, especially if that means I have to protect her from a fucking man that seems to want nothing more than to destroy Chrome Creed.
Her eyes are swimming in tears, but she doesn't let them fall. When she doesn't have any other argument, I turn back to my club to get more information.
"Doc, you have any intel at the hospital, anyone in there that we can trust right now?" I ask and he nods.
"Yeah, I have a nurse practitioner I've been in close contact with. I know she's down for us. She's not going to hold anything back from us." He says.
"Good, reach out to her and ask if she can see anyone waiting around the building. Anyone who seems like they're looking for us. If it's all clear, then half of us will go over there to check on Ms. Maddy while the other half will go to the safe house and find out if this is Marc and his people or something else is going on." I say.
"What the hell do you mean if anything else is going on? What more could be going on. I already told you this is Marc. It's his way of getting me to come out of hiding." Nisa tries to pull away from me again, but my vice-like grip keeps her in check.
"We don't know that, Nisa. And to be honest, it doesn't make much sense. Why the hell would he just light the place on fire and not try and get your mother? He doesn't know where this safe house is, and neither do you. Unless you think your mother might have had some reason to reach out to him. I'm not seeing the connection as to Marc and this shit right here."
"Fuck, what the hell are you saying, man? You think we've got more than one player trying to get our attention?" Spike asks, and the rest of the guys stare at me with very little hope in their eyes.
"I'm saying I'm not going to rule it out as a possibility. If it's still Marc, we've already got his number, and it's only a matter of time until we flush that asshole out. Until then, we all know what we're supposed to be doing. Let's get on it. Doc, you need to find out that information like yesterday." I snap and grab Nisa to pull her back into my room.
"What are you doing, we need to get on the road right now." She says, clearly pissed off that I'm not running for my bike right now.
I know how little time we might have in this situation, but I can't let her go outside without as much protection as possible.
"We're on the way, Nisa. I promise you. I just need you to have this first." I tell her and pull out a tiny snub-nosed pistol. It's about the size of my palm and the bullets probably won't do much damage, but it'll slow Marc down if he does try to grab her again. I stuff it in the small of her back, making sure the safety is on before I grab a small knife and put it in her shoe.
"If for whatever reason we get separated, and you get cornered or one of Marc's goons tries to take you, don't fucking hesitate. You take those bastards down. Do you understand me? These weapons are small enough that they should pass by inspection without most people noticing them." I stare at her for a second and when she doesn't respond to me, I grab hold of her shoulders and I shake her once to get her brain into gear. "Nisa, don't fuck around If he's really trying to draw you out, I need you to make sure you're doing everything in your power to get out of there safe. Your insides are all bruised up. You're not going to be able to take another beating like that, and I'm not going to be able to sit back and lose you again. I'll burn the world down to find you the next time, and that means a lot of us are going to end up dead. Do what I'm fucking asking you."
"I got it, Leo. I'll be safe." She says, and the words set me at ease, if only for a little while.
"Prez, I got the info. No one else in the area." Doc calls through the door.
"All right, let's move."
I pull out a heavy sweater for Nisa and my leather kutte for myself. It's time to get this show on the road.
Half of us ride over to the hospital where Ms. Maddy is being held. The minute we walk in and Nisa sees her mother, she breaks down.
Not only did she get a massive amount of smoke inhalation, but she was burned badly in the process. One half of her face would be scarred, and the doctors tell us that there's a strong possibility that they're going to have to amputate Ms. Maddy's arm from below the elbow. The tissue damage is just too severe.
I do my best to focus on my woman, making sure that she has everything she needs, and doing everything that I can to support her, but in the back of my mind I'm feeling more and more uneasy about this.
It was too sloppy, too quick, and this Marc asshole hasn't taken ownership of it. If this were really something that Marc was responsible for, I'm sure he would've found a way to get to Nisa already and let her know that this was because of him.
I didn't want to jinx my club, but my gut is telling me this is much more than just one person coming after us.
This attack is a statement from someone else. I just had to find out who.
