Tiny (24 page)

It was time for business and
to kill the man intent on destroying him.

****

Two days later

Eva was nervous as she
watched Tiny getting dressed. They’d landed at the airport yesterday, and he’d
spent the last twenty-four hours preparing to confront Snitch by keeping in
touch with Devil and knowing his time frame for arrival. Devil had most of his
men and was heading back to Fort Wills right now.

“Don’t you think you need to
wait this out?” Eva asked.

“No. I don’t need to wait
this out. Snitch and I have a history. There is no chance I’m letting him get
away with hunting my boys and taking them out. Have you called Killer?” Tiny
asked.

“He’s on his way to pick you
up.” They were staying in the old warehouse where they’d kept Nash. Eva didn’t
have a problem staying in the warehouse. What she had a problem with
was knowing
Tiny was walking to his death.

“You shouldn’t go. Wait
until Devil with your men show up.” She was panicking. What if something
happened to
Devil,
and his men were attacked again?

“Element
of surprise.
Devil coming in with his
club would spoil everything. I’ve got to take Snitch now.” Tiny secured the
safety on his gun and placed it in the back of his jeans.

“Or he could shoot you in
the head making all of this a waste of time.”

“It’s not going to happen.
Shooting me in the head is not Snitch’s style. After what I did to him he’s
going to take his time over me. He can’t have Mikey. He’s dead. Snitch will
settle for me. Trust me, baby. I’ve got this.” He cupped her face, pressing a
kiss to her lips.

“And what if you don’t?” she
asked, following him outside.

“Look, this man is
responsible for killing innocent people. I really don’t give a fuck about him
right now. I’m working to make this place safe.” He took her hands, holding her
close.
“To make you safe.
I know Snitch. He likes to
have an audience when shit goes down. It’s why he has a new club.”

“I’m scared,
Tiny
. How do you know Devil will pull through? What if he’s
working with Snitch?” Her hands were shaking as she held onto
Tiny’s
jacket.

“Devil has a score to settle
with Snitch, and he helped me get rid of him last time. I trust him. Trust me,
Eva. I’m coming home to you, baby.”

There was nothing more she
could do.

“Do you have the number Alex
gave you?” he asked.

She handed him the white
slip of paper with Snitch’s number on it.

“I’m coming back from this,
and then we’re going to get married.” He caressed her cheek.

All too soon he was pressing
the buttons on his cell phone and putting it to his ear. She wanted to snatch
the phone off him. Instead, she stood listening to what was happening.

“Who the
fuck is this?”
She heard the
man snarl over the line.

“Hello, Snitch.”

Standing close, Eva listened
in to the conversation.

“What the fuck?”

“Yeah,
you can’t fucking
kill me,
Snitch. It’s time you and I settle this once and for all.”

Tiny stepped away, and she
didn’t get to hear Snitch’s reply.

“Gladly.
Let’s end this.” The cell phone was dropped and
smashed into the ground.

“You shouldn’t do this.”

“I’ll have Killer with me.”
The sound of a car approaching had her looking over her shoulder to see the man
himself approaching.

“I want you to head on over
to Tate and the others. Killer kept them off their scent by killing one of
Snitch’s men. I want you to keep them calm, and I’ll get to you as soon as I’m
done,” Tiny said, getting into the car.

“What exactly do you want me
to say?” she asked, leaning against the car.

“Tell Tate I’m handling it.
Play cards, cook, I don’t know. Do something that will keep her mind off
everything else,” Tiny said.

Glancing over at Killer, Eva
shot him a glare. “You keep him alive, or you’ll answer to me.”

“Yes, Boss lady.” Killer
smiled even though his expression was all serious.

Stepping back, she watched
the men drive away. Fear tightened around her heart, but she kept it at bay.
Heading back inside the warehouse, he grabbed her backpack and hiked it on her
shoulder. She wore a pair of jeans, a long shirt of
Tiny’s
,
and a pair of pumps. Eva hadn’t given it much thought to walking to town, but
she didn’t have much choice.

Exiting the warehouse, she
headed in the direction of town and turned her own cell phone on. She dialed
Tate’s number.

“Do you have any news on
Murphy?” Tate asked.

Eva sighed. “No, I’ve not
got anything on him, Tate. I’m headed your way. Where are you?”

“We’re stuck in Kelsey’s
apartment. Killer left a little while ago leaving a gun for our protection.”
She listened to the younger woman knowing interrupting Tate’s flow would make
her remember Murphy was missing.

Suddenly Tate stopped. “I
can’t raise this baby without him, Eva.”

“We’re all hoping that’s not
the case.” Even as she said the words, Eva felt her hope disappearing.

“He should have phoned by
now or gotten in touch. You and I both know it’s not good if he’s not gotten in
touch.”

“Stop
thinking about it, Tate.
That’s an
order.” The sound of bikes approaching made Eva tense. She looked behind her to
see the emblem Tiny described. Turning back to face the road, she swallowed
past the lump in her throat.

“Shit, is that them?” Tate
asked.

“Yes, be calm. Hopefully
they’ll pass.” Eva started laughing and talking about a comedy movie she’d seen
a few weeks ago. Tate didn’t say anything, which Eva was thankful for.

The bikes slowed down beside
her. Eva couldn’t believe the rotten fucking luck. “You really should have seen
it,” Eva said, almost slipping up by saying Tate’s name.

“Miss,” a man said.

Taking a breath, Eva turned
around, trying to look unaffected by the bikes. She recognized the man from the
photo she’d seen of Snitch.

“Hold on a minute, honey. I
think some guy has stopped to ask me for directions.” Dropping the phone, she
smiled at Snitch, wishing she could beat the shit out of him and save Tiny the
trouble. “Can I help you?”

Snitch stared at her. “Are
you from around here?”

“No, I’m just wandering
through.
Backpacking my way across the states.
My mom
and dad are funding it. I’m trying to find myself.”

Shut up, you’re giving away too much information.

“Can I help you with
anything?” she asked.

He kept his gaze on her,
looking her up and down.

“Look, mister, I’ve got to
go.”

“Where is he?” Snitch asked.

“Who?
I don’t have a clue who you’re talking about,” Eva
said.
Crap
. Something in the way he
was looking at her unnerved her.

“Tiny, where is he?”

Eva frowned, trying to
pretend she didn’t have the first clue who Tiny was.

“You’re
Tiny’s
whore. Don’t even try to deny it.”

Snitch climbed off his bike.
Eva didn’t need further warning. She ran in the opposite direction hoping to
get away.

She knew her quick getaway
wouldn’t work, but she tried. Snitch slammed her to the ground.

“Leave me alone,” she said,
screaming. No one came to her help. She felt the sniggers behind her from his
men who were laughing and mocking her attempt to escape.

He grabbed her hair, pulling
her head back. “I know Tiny. He’s got something planned for me. The one thing I
know is he won’t let a fucking thing happen to you.”

His hand went around her
throat, choking her. She cried out, clawing at his hand.

“No wonder he loves you.”
Snitch caressed a hand down her side. “You’re some fucking piece of meat. I
can’t wait to get my dick wet.”

Snitch picked her up off the
floor and carried her back to his men. She struggled against him, dropping her
phone and backpack.

“Leave me alone.” Eva screamed
as he back handed her. Hitting the floor, Eva hoped Tiny would make this
bastard pay. There was evil inside him, and if Tiny didn’t win, God help them
all.

“You either hold on, bitch,
or you fall off.” Eva held onto Snitch’s waist. Falling off was not in her
future if she could help it. She wanted to see
Tiny
end this motherfucker.

Chapter Thirteen

Tiny stood on the outskirts
of Fort Wills. Killer had driven off and was coming back with the Chaos Bleeds
crew. Devil was not far from the town, and he trusted the other leader to right
their past mistake.

The sound of rumbling bikes
made him aware of Snitch getting closer. It was time to end the past. Reaching
behind his back, he felt the gun he was going to use to end Snitch. He
shouldn’t be happy or feel joy at the thought of ending another man. Tiny
couldn’t stop it, though. This day wasn’t going to end until he watched Snitch
take his last breath.

It’s been a long time fucking coming.

The smile on his face
dropped when he saw the person on the back of Snitch’s bike. Blood was coming
from her lip, and anger replaced any satisfaction of killing him. A swift kill
was too fucking nice to this piece of shit. Tiny was going to take his time and
make him pay for everything he’d done and all the men, women, and children the
fucker had hurt.

He watched as the men turned
their bikes off and climbed off the machines. These men were responsible for
hurting
his own
men. Tiny knew his men, and they would
be after blood.

“So, you do come back from
the fucking dead,” Snitch said, grabbing Eva by the hair.

“I’m sorry,
Tiny
. I was going to town, and they passed. I tried to
escape,” she said. He was shocked to see the anger on her face rather than the
fear.

Don’t worry, baby. I’ll get us both out of this mess.

“Shut it,” Snitch said,
punching her in the ribs. She went down, grabbing her side. Tiny fisted his
hands, wanting to sink his knuckles into the man’s face. He was going to pay
the bastard back for all the fucked up memories he had.

If Mikey was still alive,
the old bastard would be exacting revenge along with him.

“So, Tiny, you’re here,
surrounded by my men. What the fuck do you think you can do?” Snitch asked.

Staring at the man, Tiny
tried to blank out Eva. He needed to be able to think as otherwise he was
fucked. “I heard you were one man down.”

Snitch reacted, producing a
knife, which he put to Eva’s throat. “Do I look like I’m in the fucking joking
mood? I will slit your slut’s throat, and I’ll do it for fucking fun. You know
I will.”

“You’re not leaving here
alive, Snitch. You should have died long ago.”

“Is this what this is about?
The slut you saw me fuck? The bitch I fucking killed. I’ve got news for you. She
wasn’t the first woman I put in the ground. I’ve got a whole fucking list of
dead bodies to my name. What do you think you can do, Tiny? You’ve got nothing.
I’ve got your woman, and all my men are ready to put holes in your body,”
Snitch said.

Eva was struggling against
the other man. Tiny was proud of her fight. His woman was never going to give
up, not even to a man like Snitch.

Smiling, Tiny stared at his
enemy. Memories of the night Snitch had hurt that girl flooded him. If he died
today and took Snitch with him, Tiny would be happy. Ending Snitch would make
him feel better, and that was all
Tiny
needed to feel
in that moment, better.

“You’ve got no men. What do
you have to smile about?” Snitch asked.

Tiny didn’t bother answering
the other man. “You’ve got no idea what’s coming to you.”

Snitch leaned down, licking
Eva’s cheek. He grabbed her breast, squeezing her hard. Eva howled in pain at
the hard grip of her tit. Tiny tensed knowing he was going to kill Snitch over
and over again. “Your woman has a lot of meat on her, Tiny. I can hurt her a
lot, and she won’t even break.”

Disgust clawed at him. His
stomach turned as sickness threatened. Tiny held everything in, refusing to
back down as he kept Snitch in his sights. Everything was in place. He had to
bide his time otherwise everything would fail.

“Remember what I said to
you, baby,” Tiny said.

“I know. I remember.”

The cell phone he hadn’t
destroyed buzzed against his leg. It was time to get this show on the road.
Snitch had thought he was in control, and all along he didn’t have a clue what
was about to happen. “Tell me, Snitch, did any of your men find my own men dead
on that road?” Tiny asked.
