“I’m getting ice-cream. What flavour do you guys want?” I ask them.
“Mint,” Killer says as Zero says Vanilla.
I started working part time at the Night Club owned by the Satan Snipers. It earns me some cash.
Zero doesn’t like me working at the club but he doesn’t have a choice in the matter since River offered me the job.
“One mint, two vanilla sugar cones please.” I ask the old lady with the white apron on.
“I have not seen you before, aren’t you a pretty little thing,” She says to me in a cheerful voice.
“Thank you,” I like her.
“I heard there were some new bikers in town, didn’t think it will be a lady. My god daughter, Lauren used to date one of you years back. They were two lovers, perfect. Didn’t turn out that way in the end. Poor man got himself stuck with Hannah Evans, she’s a New Yorker.”
“Can I have my ice-cream now?” I don’t like this conversation any longer.
Old lady is a nosey bitch. She shouldn’t talk shit she doesn’t know.
The lady must heed my unfriendly tone of my voice because she hands it to me quickly.
“3 dollars,” She says.
I sigh, realizing I can’t get the money from my pocket so I hand her the ice-cream.
A man’s hand comes from behind me and places the money slap on the table.
“Keep the change.”
My body freezes at the sound of his voice, but this time I am not weak. I am prepared when he grips my hair.
“Let her go,” Zero says from the middle of the parking lot.
“I can’t do that brother,” Thorn answers in a mocking voice.
My foot lifts up just enough and I slam the heel partially on his foot. I grab his hand holding my hair and pull him close to me so he stumbles on my back and I lift him over me.
His back hitting the ground.
He screams in pain.
I stand there not caring that people are rushing out of the supermarket. Not caring for the witnesses. Let them see.
Zero rushes over to me and his brother. I can see he is split between us. So, I make the choice easier as I walk past him closer to Killer.
“Leave me,” Thorn yells.
“Amariya,” He screams and still I walk.
The gun shot that goes off has me stopping and turning slowly.
Zero is on the ground, and the nosey old lady that served me an ice-cream has just earned herself a bullet to the head.
“You have been on my list for way too long Thorn.”
“Beauty No.” Zero yells from the ground as he attempts to get up.
“You have taken lives that wasn’t yours to take.”
“Beauty, let’s talk about this,” Zero begins to get up but Killer is already there.
He shocks Zero with an electric Taser until he is down on the ground.
