Zero and Beauty's Breath (A Satan Sniper's Motorcycle Club Series Book 3 - 4) novel Chapter 73

"Look at me please, have mercy Beauty." I don't look at the man on his knees next to my bed.

I face the window, watching the rain hit the panes. A reflective motion to the emotion I am currently feeling.

Rain and silence before storm and vengeance.

I am resigned to my life, accepting of my faith and what I need to do.

"You won't even look at me," He says in utter shock as though he is the one I wish to kill, will kill. In a way I will.

“My momma told me that life was a moment, a beggar had 24 hours in a day just as a Rich man. It's how we spent it that made one more appealing than the other,” Mercy says breaking me out of my mind.

“Which one was more appealing?” I am been sarcastic when I ask, hoping she would leave.

“Truth? My momma is bat-shit crazy. I asked her that one time, she said the streets were better because it didn't cover up the ugliness of the world. It prepares you for beauty, so one day when it comes, you will see it while everyone else stands blinded. My dad said that there ain’t nothing in the world more precious than beauty’s breath.”

“I don’t know why you here?” Killer asks Mercy from next to me.

“I told you everybody else is hunting down the last two guys. You two are the only ones not doing anything.”

Almost two months has gone by, two months since I lost my baby. Zero left after I asked him to go. I needed to harden myself, and I couldn’t do that with him standing so close.

He did beg me a few times, spare his brother, have mercy. But I can’t. He is the only one who can’t see that. He is back now.

“I think a trip to the mall would be a great idea now, what do you say guys?” Hannah comes from wherever she has been hiding.

I am sitting on the couch, Killer is on the other couch watching Basketball and Mercy is painting her nails. The smell of nail polish is potent.

“I’ll come with you, I need to get some stuff that way,” Killer says going into protection mode. The reason Killer and I were at home while everybody hunted the last two guys that were affected by t95 was to guard Hannah.

“Me too.”

“If we all going to go why don’t you and Bee go and Mercy and I will stay here.”

Killer’s jaw hardens, not liking Hannah’s plan at all. But the house is safer and Mercy can more than handle herself and protect Hannah.

“Okay, we’ll fetch Jo on our way.”
