The Bodyguard

By BetterInTexas

Chapter 20:

Ty POV

“I got no good reason.” Redneck admitted to me.

“Ty perhaps we could take this conversation outside? Pointing a gun in a hospital is beginning to draw attention.” Garrett whispered. I took a peep around and could see his point. Nurses were staring.

I put the gun in my back holster behind my long coat and motioned for Cletus to follow me outside. I wondered briefly if you could be charged with murdering a vampire. I mean if you burn them up there ain’t shit for evidence right?

I walked out the back door and checked around. No one was around. To my great disappointment Garrett followed the bitch outside.

“Go back inside Garrett. This don’t involve you.”

“Ty, we need to be reasonable…”

“He’s right Garrett. It doesn’t involve you. Go inside.” The flyin monkey told him.

Garrett sighed and walked back inside.

I pulled my gun and placed it back where it belonged, on Johnny Reb’s forehead. See if he could dodge this.

“Now you were sayin you got no good reason why I shouldn’t blow your fucking head off?”

“I’m sorry?” he tried.

“You’re sorry? You are motherfuckin sorry!? You threatened me, my father, my family? My woman had to take you down at great risk to herself and I still ain’t sure what that shit is all about. You said you were gonna turn her. Give her to this bitch Maria. Why the fuck did you go off on your own?”

“I thought I could find out more information.”

“We had information. We had a plan. A plan that didn’t involve Bella winding up in the hospital. Why did you stay behind and let yourself get turned into a puppet?”

“I… it was my job. My problem. I thought I could maybe reason with her. Or kill her. Something.”

“You wanted to be the fuckin hero didn’t ya?” I asked already knowin.

“Yeah. Maybe I did.”

“She don’t want you, you ignorant bastard.” He knew I wasn’t talkin bout Maria either.

“I know. I get that. I got it okay? My bad. Look if you are gonna kill me can I at least tell Garrett about this mind controlling vampire?”

“No you can tell me.”

“After you left, after everybody left I went underground. I found where they were but they had already left. I figured they would be heading to Washington until I tried to leave. It was just Maria and him. He was about 5’7, long shaggy hair like a skater kid would have I guess.. Looked around 16 or 17. Maria told me she had her sisters, her two traveling companions that were with her when she turned me, watching the kid’s family.

I tried to make them relax. Before I could the kid was lookin me in the eyes. He had me at that moment. It was that damn quick. Like bein outside of your body while somebody else takes it for a spin. I was told to obey Maria so I did. She asked what the hell was goin on. She wanted to know why all these people were protecting Bella and you. Why no gifts worked on Bella. How the Government knew about us. She wanted to know about the weapons, how many team members there were. She wanted to know everything.”

“And you snitched didn’t you?” I asked. “17 year old kid takes you out in a damn second and you are clocked. Bye bye God of War. You fuckin dimed us. Now bitch is runnin around this cold wet ass place hidin out in treetops and knows our every move. I got that?”

“Yeah. But with whatever Garrett put on my wrist, she won’t have an advantage she thinks she has. At least one.”

“Got it. Anything else before I smoke your ass?”

“No.” he told me.

“Ty please don’t.”

I turned and saw Esme walkin around the corner.

“Why the hell shouldn’t I?”

“He didn’t mean to. Please? We have enough enemies. We need to pull together. Jasper got caught by surprise. It won’ happen again. I give you my word.”

“Esme how you gonna give your word on his actions?” I asked her.

“Bella could have killed him, or let him be shot. She wanted him to live. I realize she doesn’t love him but he saved her once.”

“He tried to kill her once.” I countered.

“He actually probably saved her by that action as well. She would be dead or a vampire right now if not for Jasper. Please, just let this go. It won’t happen again. I swear.”

I turned my attention back to Jasper whose head to his credit was still resting on my barrel. He could have taken it out of my hand a dozen times by now.

Fuck it.

“You’re a lucky son of a bitch Jasper. Forgiveness is the mark of a great man.”

I dropped my gun and walked back towards the hospital.

Then I turned and shot that fucker in the foot. His yelling while he and Esme patted his foot that was on fire was quite entertaining. He finally put it in a patch of deep snow and it went out.

“You shot my toe off you motherfucker!” Jasper screamed at me.

“Yeah I guess I’m just a good man. Maybe Esme can stick that piggy back on. See ya’ll back at the crib. I got to get to my woman.”

Bella POV

Ty was walking in with a grin that disappeared when he saw me. I had already gotten out of bed and dressed.

“What the hell you doin out of bed boo?”

“Doctor says the baby is fine. I feel great. Time to go. I hate these places. You know that.”

He brushed my hair off my cheek and started talking in those soft tones he uses when he thinks he can talk me into doing something I don’t want to do.

“Bella why don’t we have the doc here check your head out and see what is going on with it? Won’t be just a few more minutes and I will rub your feet while we wait.”

“Time to go to the Cullen Mansion Ty. Let’s move.” I began walking out. “By the way did I just hear gunfire?”

“Yeah. I shot Jasper.”

I know he said it bluntly to gauge my reaction. I also knew he didn’t kill Jasper. That’s not who Ty is.

“That right? Nobody saw you right? I’m not going to have to explain this on Sports center?”

He looked at me closely and then grinned.

“Nah darlin. He is okay. Just had to remind him who the man is. That’s all.”

“Glad to hear it. We need all the help we can get if we ever want to leave Forks right?”

“Yeah, you right Shortie. Let’s head back to the house so I can get you comfortable.”

Once we were at the mansion, I found myself restless. I wanted to do something. I was bored. I hated being bored.

“You need to work out.” I told Ty.

“Excuse me?”

“You need to work out. You are a professional athlete. You should go work out. I will come with you.”

“Work out where? Ain’t a damn court that ain’t frozen in this fuckin place.”

“I can get us unto Forks High gym. Come on.”

I walked out before he could complain. I put my hand up to Garrett’s face downstairs before he could complain. Connolly looked annoyed but then shrugged his shoulders.

Ty and I were soon on the way to Forks High. I didn’t know if the gym was actually open. I remember some guys used to play there over the holidays. If it wasn’t open then I would simply have Connolly pop the lock or do it myself. Not like I was going to get arrested.

When we arrived I found it was indeed open. Open and being used by my old friends. After I told Edward to fuck off in High school I actually became close to a few of the friends I made when I first arrived. I hadn’t kept up with them as much as I should but we kept in contact. I felt bad about that but I was busy.

With college.

And stuff…

Okay I admit I have never been good at personal friendships or putting effort into them. Ty was the only real friend I ever made that lasted over a year and look how that turned out. He fucked me.

To his credit he kept fucking me and things have worked out nicely.

“Bella!”

Oh shit.

Jessica.

“Bella!”

Oh double shit. Mike, Ben, Eric, Angela, Lauren… and… Oh fuck no.

Tyler fucking Crowley.

The ghost of hook ups past is about to fuck me over.

“Hi guys! I didn’t expect to see you all here. Together. In the same place. At the same time.”

“Holy shit are you…” Mike started.

Better head this off before I have to have the fire department knock down a wall to get Ty’s head out of the building.

“Everybody this is my fiancée Ty Gavin.”

“How are you all doing? Bell are theses your friends from high school you talk about all the time?” He asked knowing that I never talk about them. Not much anyway. I’m kinda a busy girl.

“Yep…”

“I’m sorry did you say fiancée?” Lauren asked.

“Yeah, we engaged. What the hell happened to your hair girl?” Ty asked her

I was wondering the same thing. It was sort of like an Alice Cullen spike cut but made up of a multitude of colors, most of which resembled some sort of clay.

“I was cast in a movie. I live in LA now. My hair had to be done in this style because of the part I play.” She told me, then looked at Ty. Yeah. Bitch was jealous.

“Congrats Bella. Getting married to… Tyrone Gavin.” Mike said quietly.

“You always did like them rich.” Jessica added.

“Jess!” Angela called her name.

“What? Edward was rich and, well I suppose you weren’t Tyler but now she is engaged to a soon to be rich football player…”

“Basketball.” Ty and I both corrected her at the same time.

“Sorry. Anyway congrats.” Jess finished.

“Yeah Bella, congrats. When is the wedding?” Eric asked.

“Three weeks.” I answered.

“We are heading into our final semester. What about you guys?” Jess asked.

“Yep. Us too.” I confirmed.

“Why not just wait till you graduate? What’s the rush? You pregnant or something?” Angela asked, laughing.

“So what is everyone doing here?” I nearly shouted before Ty could open his mouth.

“We are all home for the Holidays. Thought we would play a little pick up game. The girls wanted to hang out. With you here the gang is back together again.” Ben answered with a smile. I wonder if Angela was still playing spin the geek with him and Eric.

“Yay…” Lauren said unenthusiastically. I guess the game had started.

“Hey that’s cool. I came here for a little workout. You guys mind if I shoot around with you?” Ty asked.

“I don’t think we can give you much of a game but we can have some fun.” Mike replied

“Speak for yourself Mike. I think I might be able to stack up to Mr. Gavin. I mean we got so much in common. Let’s play brother.”

“What is your name again?” Ty asked.

“Tyler. Course Bella liked to call me Ty.” He grinned. Please don’t.

“This was the guy who took you to Senior Prom?” Ty asked, looking at me accusingly.

“Yes.”

“A black guy named Ty?” he whispered, even though everyone was in front of us and could obviously hear.

“Yes. His name is Tyler. Not Ty. You act like you are related. It was just a prom date.” I whispered back trying to turn my back on the gathered crowd.

“Prom date? Hell after Bella got smart and dumped Cullen’s ass, she was my woman our senior year. Isn’t that right Izzy?”

“Shut up Tyler! I told you never to call me that!” I hissed. I hated that stupid name. I want a pet name for you Bella. Cry me a fucking river Tyler.

“Itchy? What the fuck is that? You scratch yourself a lot or what?” Ty asked.

“You didn’t know I was Bella’s boyfriend? Bells that hurts. We broke up when she decided to go to Arizona. But we will always have that Volvo right Bells?”

“What Volvo? What the… you know what? Fuck it. Let’s play brotha. We can see how alike we are.”

Oh shit.

“Ty don’t hurt him.” I said to my Ty.

“I won’t.” They both replied and then glared at each other.

This was going to go bad for Tyler.

Mike, Eric and Ben shrugged their shoulders and walked on to the court with Tyler.

Ty bent down and whispered in my ear.

“I can’t believe you didn’t tell me I wasn’t your first brotha.”

“It matters?” I asked in somewhat disbelief.

“You never thought to mention that you dated a black guy named Ty before?” He continued. Apparently this bothered him greatly for some reason.

“No. Why would I?”

“I thought I was your first!” he whispered.

“Are you out of your fucking mind? You have Dan standing in our wedding, which is fucked up by the way, and you know what the two of us did. You distracted security guards a few times for us!”

“I meant your first… you know what? It don’t matter.”

He walked off thankfully.

Then he turned around.

“We gonna talk about this later.” He told me flustered.

“Ty he grew up here. He is just as white as everyone else on the court. This is Forks.” I argued.

“Gavin, you coming or you going to keep trying to get Bella to say you are better than me? I’m not talking about basketball either playa.” Tyler yelled.

Oh shit.

“This bitch bout to get smoked like a fuckin laced blunt. See ya in a bit boo.”

Ty walked onto the court.

“I got the Asian lookin skinny guy. You got these other two.” Ty told Tyler.

“No problem. Let’s play.”

“Friendly game right?” Mike tried.

“Check the ball bitch. You bout to learn how this game is supposed to be played.” Ty told Tyler and shoved the ball into his stomach.

“Still have them fighting over you, don’t you Bella?”

I turned and took Lauren in, hoping if I didn’t watch Ty nothing bad would happen. I mean he should have taken his aggression out on Jasper right.

“So what is the name of this movie you have been cast in Lauren?”

“Yes you were telling us all about it before Bella came in. It sounds fascinating.” Angela added.

“I don’t think it actually has a title yet. There are some working titles but nothing will be decided until the film is shot.”

“So what is it about?” I asked.

“Not that you would understand anything about the film world Bella, but it’s a vision of mankind’s obsession with consumerism and the toll it takes on the planet and our psyches.”

“Sounds like a zombie flick.” I commented.

“It’s not a zombie flick. I told you that you don’t know anything about real art, especially as it is portrayed on film.”

“So what genre is it Lauren? Drama? Romance? Perhaps a black comedy?” Jessica asked.

“It’s a dark thriller.” She replied.

“Sounds like a horror movie to me.”

“It is… I mean yes some may call it a horror movie. But it is more of a statement piece.”

“What is your role?” I asked.

“I… haven’t seen the script yet.” She admitted.

“What do you mean? You just told us all about the vision of the movie and you don’t know the title or the script?” I asked. I had to find out about this movie. This was too good.

“I accepted the role without seeing a script. I am trying to break into the industry. This is my big break.”

“So what is your character?” I asked, digging through layers of bullshit for the truth.

“I… play in a band. A punk rock band. That’s why my hair…”

“Is a mess and multitude of colors clouded in dirt?” I tried to help.

“It’s an LA thing. You wouldn’t understand.”

“Why do I have a feeling your tits are going to be on display in this movie? You’re an extra in a zombie movie aren’t you?”

“Fuck you bitch. At least I have tits!” she replied a bit angrily.

“No you don’t. Proctor and Gamble or whoever made those implants have tits. You are just borrowing them!” I retorted.

“Well get used to it honey. You are going to be carrying some too in regards to your chosen career as gold digger. Yours may work now but they are going to need help around your fourth husband.”

I walked up to her until we were inches from each other, nose to nose.

I couldn’t keep the smile from my face. I broke first. She wrapped her arms around me and we both broke into laughter.

“I have missed you two’s little games.” Jessica admitted smiling.

We pulled back and I winked at Lauren.

“I have missed you. There isn’t a single girl at ASU who can come close to my level of bitch.”

“Call more and we can practice.” She told me. I should call more.

“I’m bad about correspond…”

“We know Bella. But still. Texting. We text you, you text us back. Not three weeks later. Of course seeing who you are fucking I can understand the delays.” Angela winked.

“So for real, are you pregnant?” Jessica asked.

“He asked me before he knew.” I said defensively.

“Who gives a fuck? You got him girl. Good job.” Lauren told me.

“So seriously what is up with the hair?” I asked.

“I’m an extra in a zombie flick. If I play my cards right I can get these puppies onscreen. Once you make Mr. you’re in according to my agent.” Lauren explained.

“Well, good look. I hope your tits eat a lot of brains. When did you have them done?”

“About a week after I moved to LA. Finally convinced Dad.”

“Do they feel weird?” Angela asked.

“They did at first but not now.”

“Well I think you look great except for the zombie hair. I would totally fuck you.” I told her.

“Seriously Swan if I was gay I would find someone way hotter than you.”

“You wish bitch. Hey can I feel them?” I asked excitedly. I had never felt fake boobs.

“No you can’t feel them!”

“Why not? Jessica let me feel hers didn’t you Jess?”

“Yes.” Jessica practically moaned.

“You’re kidding! When?” Angela asked.

“After Senior Prom. We were drunk and Bella wouldn’t leave me alone about it. I drew the line at motor boating though. Mike damn near came in his pants when Bella grabbed them.”

“Why in the hell would you want to grab Jess’s breasts Bella?” Angela asked.

“Well Bible college girl, for your information they are round and fluffy and looked like they would be fun to grab.” I told her sticking my tongue at her. “Jealous?”

“Maybe a little.” She said and stuck her tongue out at me.

“So pull up the shirt and let’s give them a squeeze Lauren. It’s not right the viewing public sees them before your oldest friends.” I pointed out.

“I will not. You will have to pay for a ticket like everyone else.”

“I’d kind like to see how they feel Lauren. I mean in comparison to mine.” Angela pointed out.

“Are you bitches serious? This shit is only supposed to happen on casting couches.” She laughed.

Our fun little banter was cut short by a very loud crack and then an equally loud scream from the court.

I closed my eyes.

“How bad is it?” I asked. I didn’t want to look.

“Your man is fine. Tyler is probably going to need some work. Lauren does your plastic surgeon do nose jobs?” Jessica asked.

Damn it.

Ty POV

“You may not realize this but I’m on the practice squad at Washington State.” This bitch says to me.

“Practice squad? You brag about that?”

“I could have made the team but I concentrated on my studies. I’m going to medical school.”

“So what? Everybody in India is given a medical degree when they turn twelve. You think that make you something?”

I dribbled in front of this fool while he talked. He tried to jump me mid sentence. I palmed the ball and held it over my head while he dove past. Seeing little China over there, I tossed him the ball. The other two guys covered him and he tossed it back. Crowley tried to jump the pass but I hip checked his little ass and he fell.

“Man that was a foul.” He whined.

“Cool man. Here you can have the ball.”

I tossed it from four feet away into his forehead. It hit him and bounced back into my hands. He stumbled back a bit rubbin his head. I sank a jumper from bout thirty feet rememberin I’m supposed to be here practicing and not thinkin of ways to blow up this bitch.

“Nice shot.” The Mike kid said.

“Thanks man.”

Mike tossed the ball to Crowley. I let him catch it. He tried to drive on me. I made to move out of his way givin him hope. I turned and in two steps I slapped his weak ass lay up into the stands.

“Our ball!” Crowley yelled.

“Yeah no shit. I just blocked that motherfucker to Canada. Go get a new ball and lets go.”

The Ben kid grabbed the ball and he and Mike played around with my ninja dork while Crowley tried to block me.

“So you gonna thank me or just keep bein an ass?”

“Thank you for what?” I asked.

“Breakin your woman in man. You know I was her first. Got her hooked on brothas. You know how many white boys I had to fight off to get that?”

“You ain’t a brotha and I would be careful how you talk bout Bella round me. You didn’t break shit.”

“Please man. Why you tryin to front? We boys, we ain’t got to be beefin.”

I stopped movin and looked at him.

“What did you just say? You been watchin Fresh Prince or what? You know there ain’t no such thing as half way crooks. Stop tryin to be Pac and move on white boy. Take the ball and try to score again. I’ll even give you my little ninja if you need him too, bitch.”

“Maybe I’m not black enough for you but I was black enough for Bella.” he told me.

“Bitch my cock wouldn’t fit in a fucking Volvo. Take the ball and try to score. Here, make your move. Do it. I’m gonna park that ball in your fuckin skull.”

“Newton! Clear out!”

” Tyler you think that’s a good idea?” White Mike asked White Tyler.

“Yeah, I’m bout to show this future draft bust how I ball so his girl ain’t the only one in this gym who knows.”

This motherfucker a dead man.

“You think you hard don’t you? Take your shot bitch. See what range you got. Ya’ll gonna want to stay out of the paint.” I told the guys who were just watchin the two of us.

Fool did such a bad job of fakin a drive I didn’t even move. Just watched while he jumped and shot. I could tell by the trajectory when it left his hand where it was goin and how it would come off. I went to get the rebound when I noticed the little bitch was beside me.

He thought he would challenge me for a rebound?

I jumped and grabbed the ball with both hands. Elbows out.

Just like the big boys play.

I saw him with the corner of my eye underneath me as we both came down. Unfortunately for him training took over and my elbows came down locked and swinging to protect the ball.

The crack let me know I crushed his nose on the way down. The scream confirmed the kill.

I stood over him holding the ball while he lay on the hardwood, a puddle of blood where my elbow met his nose.

I knelt down to check on him and give him some advice.

“Damn son, you gonna challenge a man for a rebound you gotta go hard or go home. Like I said boy, ain’t know such thing as half way crooks. Mobb Deep wasn’t fuckin round and neither am I. I see you again you best act like you never even knew my woman or you gonna get a visit from some guys I know. See, you a straight up crab and that’s it. Good luck in Med school Dr. Dre. I’d get that nose checked out before you go for anymore rebounds.”

“Holy shit that’s a lot of blood.” My little ninja partner observed.

“Ty.” Bella whined. Her girlfriends had wide eyes. One looked like she was gonna be sick. White Ty was spewin some blood now out of his nose.

“What? We was playin. Went up for a rebound and got tangled. Isn’t that what happened guys?”

I looked at the other three dorks who was shakin their heads in agreement.

“It was a legal move. I’m pretty sure if there was a ref on this court Rudolph here would have been called for a foul. Don’t you guys think?”

My three dorks agreed once again.

“I guess we should probably get some ice and cotton on his nose and maybe get him to a hospital.” My ninja suggested.

“Yeah y’all do that. I need to get a little more work in so if you guys wouldn’t mind getting some towels and wipin his blood up I would appreciate it.”

They scurried off. Bella and those girls she was talking to watched Newton and Ben carry Tyler to the hospital. Sports injuries are a bitch. After I had worked up a good sweat I noticed Bella and I were the only ones still in the gym, her last friend, the one with the fucked up hair finally leavin. She tossed me a towel and smirked.

“What?”

“You know.” She said with a grin.

Yeah, I did.

She didn’t say much when we got to the compound. I noticed Sam Uley was there in the front and appeared to be in some sort of argument with Connolly. Connolly’s guys were nowhere around meaning they were up to something or didn’t want to be seen cause those fuckers are always around. Garrett caught my eye and winked at me while reffin the argument between Connolly and Uley. Peter and Charlotte were gathered around Jasper and Esme who were on the floor in the living room. Looked like Esme was tryin to help Jasper put his toe back on still. Peter caught my eye and to my surprise actually winked. Charlotte even grinned. I suppose I did need to thank him for saving my ass.

Walkin into Eddie’s old room I found it empty. I knew Bella came up first. She must have gone to the bathroom. I was hopin Bella might be… I don’t know. Naked?

The damn door slammed behind me, makin me jump. I looked and saw no one was around it. Who the fuck would have slammed the door from the outside?

“Bella?”

The damn curtains just closed on the windows by themselves.

What the fuck?

Oh shit.

CDs were shootin out of Eddie’s wall of music onto the ground, like a waterfall. I ran to the corner and one of the CDs hit the wall over my head and I barely ducked in time. I started askin for help. I may have been askin loudly. This gotta be Garrett’s bullshit.

“Hey! Anybody hear me?”

I tried the door and it wouldn’t open.

Suddenly everything got still.

Oh shit.

Eddie’s bed was floatin. I looked around and saw his desk was too. Everything not bolted down was floating.

Damn it. Eddie is hauntin this fuckin room. I tried the door one more time. Couldn’t even get the knob to budge.

Then I felt it. Two taps on my back. Ghosts that can make contact with the livin. I saw this shit on that ghost show Bella watches.

Where the hell is my dog? Ain’t dogs supposed to protect people from shit like this?

“Feather?! Come attack the ghost baby. Daddy needs you!”

Then I felt it. I looked down. My zipper pulled down on its own.

Ahh shit Ghost Eddie gonna try to hit my shit.

“Bella! Damn ghosts in here Bella! Get your ass in here! Your gay ex vampire boyfriends’s ghost gonna try to suck my dick!”

I tried to move and realized I couldn’t. I was pressed against the door. I wasn’t goin anywhere.

I closed my eyes. If I close my eyes this shit will go away.

Then I felt that familiar hand. My baby. She was stroking me. Crackin an eye I looked down. She looked up from her knees and grinned.

I instantly relaxed.

Then I got pissed.

“That was you?! Fuckin around movin all this shit makin me think this room was haunted?!”

She nodded her head and ran her tongue up my shaft.

I suppose I can forgive her.

“That’s not funny girl. We got to have a talk about this shit. Were you invisible?”

She nodded and wrapped her lips around my head.

Talk is overrated. Shit wasn’t funny though

She started goin down on me and I felt her hold on me go. Now instead of bein pressed against the door I was just standin against it while she used both her hands to polish my dick and her mouth applied the final shine.

She started cuppin me and I was on the verge.

“What the fuck girl? You tryin to kill me?” I whispered.

She nodded and started usin her hands to stroke harder. That was it. I blasted, not even given her time to pull back. She didn’t even try.

“Damn baby.” I breathed.

“You need to shower. Come with me. Your Mom will have dinner ready when we get out.” She told me, lickin her lips.

“That ghost shit wasn’t funny. Why you playin like that? We need Garrett to fix this shit, not you getting better at it.”

“Oh the part where you cried out for Feather? That was hilarious. You thought Edward’s ghost wanted to suck your cock? Really Ty?”

“I didn’t know him long but I know he was a weird motherfucker. You know I don’t like shit like that.”

“You deserved it.” She told me.

“Bullshit.”

“You had fifty pounds of muscle and a foot of height on him baby.” She pointed out. I didn’t have to ask who him was.

“Hey I was just gonna ball with him and embarrass him a bit. He’s the one who started talkin shit. You know I can’t let that shit stand.”

“Yeah he always did run his mouth a bit. I’m surprised Edward never drained him. Anyway on the bright side I have three bridesmaids that you never slept with. Plus Emily and your two cousins, means I am done. You need to find five guys.”

“Five guys? I got Jeff and Dan and…”

“You don’t have Dan. That is fucked up Ty.” She told me.

“If I don’t give a damn why should you?”

“It’s weird and this isn’t up for discussion.”

“I already asked him.”

“Un ask him.”

I could see I wasn’t going to win this one. Fine.

“It’s cool. I got Dollar and T Bone. I’ll pick three more of my crew and we are set. Damn I wish I knew where this Maria bitch was. I’m ready to kill her ass and get back to our life. Soon as Garrett fixes your head.”

“My head is fine.” She said sharply. “But you are right. I do wish I knew…”

Bella stopped speaking and her eyes glazed. I was ready to catch her when a large smile broke out on her face.

“I actually know exactly where she is. 14 miles away is a mountain. Three hundred and twenty feet up the mountain is a cave entrance. She is forty six… no forty four feet from the entrance.”

“How the hell do you know that?”

But I knew. Another one of those fucked up things Garrett stuffed in her head.

“I just know. I wanted to know and then… I can see where everyone with her is. Come on. We need to find Garrett and Connolly.”
