“Where is she now?” Dash asks.
“I don’t know, haven’t seen the bitch in a while,” I hear Onix gasp in anger which has me grabbing Stephen by the throat as I pull him forward and then bash him hard against the trailer. “What the fuck man?”Hesays angrily
“You don’t call women names.” I state bashing him against the trailer again but this time less forceful as I need him to speak.
“Fine, fine,” he mutters, “but you don’t want to mess with Jericho.”Hemutters
“Why not?” Dash asks.
“He’s nuts man, you mess with Jericho and you are dead.”
“What has Jericho got to do with this woman?” I ask.
“She was his piece for a while man,” he mutters,his eyes glazed, I can tell that we won’t be getting much more out of him. Taking my hand from around his neck I slap him enough to get him out of his daze. “Okay Stephen, you did good.” I pull a couple of notes out of my pocket and then slip them into his jeans pocket.
“Go eat,” I mutter as I turn only to see Onix standing a couple of feet behind me, her hand over her heartanda worried look on her face. This is something I would rather she not have to face but she insisted, maybe now she will let us do this and she will stay with Dakota. “Let’s go,” I say gently as I take her arm turning her towards our bikes.
“Do you know this Jericho he was talking about?”Sheasks when we are back on the road.
“Yes.”
“Is he as mean as Stephen said?” I can hear the worry in her voice, and I wish I could lie but I won’t.
“Yes.”Shedoesn’t say anything else until we are stopping at one of the bars where the Hades sometimes come and hang out. “Stay close to me,” I mutter as I take her hand, Hunter and Dash fall into step behind us. I need to order a kutte for Onix, I want everyone to know that she is mine. Opening the bar door, we walk in, I can smell the alcohol, dirty bodies, and sex as I walk in. I hate bars, the scents in here is quite revolting.
The noise inside the bar starts to dwindle until there is dead silence, “Well, well look what we have here.” Tim, one of the Hades assholes says from the table where four others are sitting. We know each and every one of the Hades, we make sure to know who they are, but these assholes are so rotten that it is difficult to keep track of their foul play.
“We are just here for a drink,” Hunter says as we slide up to the bar.
“Don’t they have drinks on your part of town?” John asks as he gets up and walks towards us.
“I don’t want any problems in my bar,” Sam says as he comes to stand before us.
“Wearenot here to create problems,” Dash says as he slides a bill across the counter. Hadesdon'tknow but Sam reports everything to us, there is a note under the bill which tells Sam what we need.
“I asked you a question?” John says as he comes to stand a few feet away. I glance over at him and frown. I have placed Onix between me and the counter, they will have to get through me before getting to her, but I still don’t like the idea of her insisting on accompanying us. If one of these fuckers decides to start shooting, she will be in danger.
“This isn’t your side of town; this is neutral ground as you know.” I state as I take my beer, I see Onix has asked for a bottle of water which she is sipping.
“Technicalities,” he states, “Sam another round for our table. Hey beautiful why not come join us, you will have more fun.” I tense, my anger rising at his words.
“No thanks, I have all the man I want right here.” Onix states not once looking at the fucker, I feel her hand stroking my arm that is holding my beer and her simple touch calms me which surprises me.
“Your loss, you don’t know what you are missing,” he shrugs as he turns making his way towards the others.
“Ass.” I hear Onix mutter under her breath which has me grinning. Looking over at Dash that has gone to sit at a table with one of the women that usually hang around at the bar I see her go to sit on his lap.
“What are we doing here?” Onix asks quietly as she turns around to face me, it would be so easy to just bend my head and kiss her, but I promised myself I wouldn’t touch her until she came to me therefore, I will hold back.
“Gathering information,” I see her frown as she glances towards Dash and then over at Hunter that is standing next to us drinking his beer in silence. Leaning down I whisper against her ear “we are listening.” I see her eyes widen before she smiles.
“Guess certain things come in handy after all.”Shequips with a quirk to her lips before she turns around to continue facing the counter. We hang around for a half hour before we are ready to leave, whenweare stepping out of the bar that is when I see Jericho and Tim riding up.
“Go stand by the bike.” I tell Onix and see her tense, but she does as I ask. When they stop both men get off their bikes and head straight for us.
“We heard we had some trash here.” Tim states
“Really, because it has only started to smell since you guys arrived.” Hunter states
