“You’re a fucking coward,” Set off yelled out in anger.

“Inform your males to place their weapons down, and I’ll let her go,” Ice referred to as out.

“And a liar,” Set off countered. “How about you man up, and the 2 of us can settle this? Not that you’ve got a selection. By my calculation, most, if not all, of your males are lifeless or wounded. So, let’s settle this. Simply me and also you.”

“You’re stuffed with shit,” Ice bit out. “We each know that as quickly as I drop this knife—”

A loud gunshot stuffed the room, adopted by one other scream, and Set off was on his ft, instantly transferring towards her. Then he froze. Harley had fallen to the ground, a dull Ice crumpled beside her.

However the man standing there holding the gun was one he didn’t acknowledge. Instinctively, Set off raised his arm to fireside.

“No, Set off. Cease! He saved me,” Harley cried out hoarsely.

Set off frowned, his finger itching to take the shot.

“Please. He saved me. He’s the one which introduced me to you that night time.”

As Harley continued to plead, the person in query positioned his gun on the bottom earlier than kicking it away. Then he clasped his arms behind his head earlier than taking a step again from Harley. He didn’t resist whilst Everest reached for him.

That spurred Set off into motion, and he rushed over earlier than scooping her up into his arms. She clung to him, tears streaming down her face.

“Please don’t harm him,” she begged yet another time earlier than burying her face into his chest and wrapping his arms round his neck.

As a lot because it pissed him off to listen to her pleading for a Viper member’s life, he would let it stand for now. Giving a slight nod to Everest, he turned his consideration again to the girl in his arms.

“Harley,” his voice was tough with emotion, his fingers light as he reached out to the touch her face. “You’re bleeding. We have to examine you out. Okay?”

Her physique trembled in opposition to his, and her grip on him was fierce and determined. At first, he wasn’t positive if she’d heard him. Then she nodded.

“Thanks for coming for me.”

Set off held her shut, his coronary heart pounding in opposition to his chest as he pressed a kiss to the highest of her head. “I’ll all the time come for you, Harley. I received’t let anybody harm you.”

He discovered a spot the place she wouldn’t have the ability to see the grotesque scene surrounding them. As an alternative, he centered on making an attempt to determine the place the blood was coming from and the way unhealthy the wound was. Deacon and Viking appeared by his aspect.

“What are we taking a look at?” Deacon requested.

“Undecided but,” Set off admitted, and he started to look at Harley.

It instantly turned obvious that Ice had nicked her neck with the knife. Fortuitously, it wasn’t too unhealthy. The bruising on her face and the hand prints on her neck had been worse. He accepted the antiseptic and gauze, dousing the bandage with it earlier than touching it to Harley’s wound. She hissed in ache however didn’t flinch.

As soon as it was clear and he’d wiped a number of the trailing blood away, he pressed a cleaned bandage to it and secured it with tape. He’d barely completed when Harley started operating her arms over him.

“Are you okay?”

He grinned. “Not a scratch.”

She closed her eyes and hugged him briefly earlier than pulling again. “Calamity and Jingles?”

“Took a hell of a beating, however they’re recovering.”

Unhappiness stuffed her expression. “I had no concept they had been underneath assault. I used to be upstairs asleep. I might have referred to as you. I swear.”

Set off cupped her face between his arms. “No. This isn’t your fault. However it’s over now. Ice selected his destiny.”

Her eyes widened. “Nitro. Look, I do know he’s a Viper, however he’s one of many good guys. I promise. He’s the one which hid me from Ice and helped me to flee.”

“Have been the 2 of you…”
