keeps going in front of me. It looks like it could go on forever. No one in this town comes this way, so I'm alone. It's almost like an abandoned piece of highway.
    I shouldn't be here. Now that Slick's dead, it's only a matter of time before those bastards find out. And when they do, they'll come looking for who did it. How long before they'll find out it's me?
    There's no turning back now. We have to finish the job. Before, we could have left, but now there was no way we were going to get out of here without waging a war.
    That's what I should be doing. Moving on to the next name on the list. But instead I'm going to her .
    Heading into town is not as safe, but there are still paths no one uses. The Midnight Stalkers got too lazy. They thought no one would ever come for them, so they don't patrol these little roads. Stupid.
    The roads are rough, but they don't slow me down. Nothing can now.
    What I should be doing is turning around. I should be heading back to Jase and Brent and finishing this mission. I should never see Nadia again. That would be the smart thing to do. But I guess I'm not that smart.
    Slick was old, but he still could pack a punch. My muscles burn as I ride, but pain isn't anything new to me. A few bottles of beer and it'll be gone. There wasn't much that couldn't be fixed that way.
    But what about Nadia, how do I fix that? The pain I can deal with, but for some reason I can't let her go. I want to see her. Take her. Own her. More than ever.
    I want to lose myself in her, fuck until there are no more worries on my mind. But what am I supposed to tell her? By the way, I just killed your Sergeant at Arms?
    I turned the corner and finally made it to the address she sent me. What would I say? I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
    A thin brown-skinned girl came out of the house. I recognized her immediately. Jona. The best friend. She didn't look too happy to see me.
    I parked and cut the engine.
    "So you're him, huh?" she said. Her arms were folded and her chin jutted out.
    "I guess so," I said. "Depends on who you talking about."
    "Look, this isn't a joke for me. Nadia is my best friend," Jona said.
    "Then you probably know that she can take care of herself."
    "You never should've come here," she said. "I know who you are."
    Was this little girl threatening me? Of course Nadia's best friend would have balls, but I wasn't expecting this. What was she thinking? I could probably snap her arm in two without trying.
    I ground my heel into the dirt.  
    "Then you should know not to fuck with me," I said.
    "And you should know not to fuck with her! You know who she is. If you do anything, if anyone finds out about you, the whole club will be on your ass!"
    "Don't you think I know that?"
    "Then –"
    The front door of the house opened and Nadia came running out. She jumped up and threw her arms around my neck, locking her lips onto mine before anyone had a chance to say anything.
    "Sorry!" she said. "I had to clean up a little bit. Were you waiting long?"
    "No," I said.
    Nadia looked at me and Jona. "What were you guys talking about while I was gone?"
    "Nothing," Jona said. She stared at me like she dared me to say something else. Why would I?
    That's when I noticed Nadia's face. It looked like she tried to cover it up with makeup, but it was still clear.
    "Babe, is there something wrong? Your eyes are red."
    Nadia's smile dropped, but came back in a flash.  
    "You got me!" she said. "It's my allergies. Freakin' pollen. Don't worry about it."
    Something didn't sound right. Who had allergies this late in the year? There weren't even any flowers around.
    "Let's get going!" Nadia said.
    She hopped on my bike and waved at Jona. "See you later!"
    I shot Jona a last look. She caught my eye, and it felt like we understood each other. We had a common goal. Don't let Nadia get hurt. If only I could keep up my end.
    I swung my leg over my bike and settled into my seat. Nadia wrapped her arms around my stomach, and then we
