"Axel what is it I have to go" I kept my head down knowing Axel would be able to read my emotions. "So I need your help" dread pooled in the pit of my stomach. Last time he wanted help I had to get a dodgy package off a dodgy man.

"Axel I don't know last time I helped you it didn't go ummmm how do I say this..... well" I didn't know how else to phrase it.

"No it's nothing like that, I just need you to come back to Den's place with me because if you suddenly go missing he won't go to that stupid race tonight that could get him killed and he'll come looking for you"

"And why would Scar want to look for me I'm just another one of his employees" I challenged wanting to know why he would choose me to help and not Tasha. 

"For now you don't need to know the full details, all you need to know for the time being is you plus coming with me equals Den not getting killed"

I was torn do I help him and ultimately help Scar or do I go home and cry in bed. I knew which option I would rather choose but my good nature choose the one I knew would help others.

"Fine but Axel you seriously owe me this time" I warned. "Yes yes now let's go" he ushered me out the back door and threw his and my ear pieces onto a nearby chair.

I quickly text back into the group that I had found a lift and thanked them all anyway.

As Axel was driving along an incoming call appeared on the radio system. The name Den appeared followed by a picture of Scar and Axel smiling at each other at what looked to be the afterwards of a fight won by Scar.

I looked to Axel only to see him smirking as if he knew Scar would ring him. He declined the call and Scar rang again yet he continued to decline the call for the next minute.

He finally answered and said anything before Scar could even get a word out. "Did you not get the memo when I didn't answer the first eight times" the smirk was evident in his voice.

"Axel get to the club now I need you to take over we're understaffed and I've to go do something" Scar spluttered out in one breath.

"Sorry brother but I can not I'm busy with a girl I'm taking her to yours I hope you don't mind" Axel was provoking him and I really didn't want to see where this was going to go.

"Axel cop the fuck on and get over here, you banging pussy can wait" his vulgar words pissed me off even though he didn't know it was me I couldn't bite my tongue, how dare he speak so lowly of women.

"Excuse me he is NOT banging me" silence once again. "Axel bring her back to the club right now" I looked to Axel and he didn't seem pleased. He quickly muted Scar, "he wasn't supposed to know you were with me it's the whole point of this plan dummy". He unmuted Scar and acted as if I hadn't ruined the plan.

"No can do my friend I need her for a job" Axel was enjoying the conversation more now as it went on. My body stilled as Axel said he wanted me for a job. He looked over at me and sensed my discomfort and I knew that he didn't mean it but it didn't help the fact I didn't fully trust Axel yet.

"Axel I want her back at the club right now or so help me God I will smash your kneecaps in" I could practically hear the anger through the speakers in the car. Axels smirk stretched across his face as he hit the red hang up button.

"Oh he is so going to kill you" I couldn't help but laugh out. "As I said Zara I would rather he kill me than him go out to this race tonight and get killer himself"

It was obvious that Axel would give his life for Scars without a thought but why?

I was pulled out of my Sherlock Holmes thoughts when we pulled up into Scars garage. "Okay so if Scar has left the club and by the way he sounded on the phone he was madder than usual which means his speed will be incalculable so expect him to come charging into this house in I'd say eight minutes"

I was astonished at how fast Axel was trying to work everything out in his head, but my next thought was frightening. "Wait how can Scar make it here in twenty when it took you around eighteen" I asked dumbfounded.

"You see Den is currently being fuelled by his need to show how dominant he can be and show the power he has over the people that work for him yada yada yada but you see that doesn't work with me I know him to well and, to be totally honest Zara he's just pissed that you suddenly left and neither of the boys could find you and the group chat blew up"

"Bahahaha ye all have a group chat together.... wait why aren't I in this group chat" I was offended how he can mention this so called group chat so lightly.

"Guys only sorry Zara bros before hoes" he slapped his chest trying to do that weird things males decide to do for "fun".

"I'm going to let it slide just this once that you decided to refer to such magnificent creatures as hoes, now let's go instead I'm starving"

Axel typed in a code into the garage door and in he waltzed like he owned the place. I headed straight for the kitchen hoping that Scar had a chip or chocolate stash hidden somewhere in there.

I was rummaging through the cupboards when Axel shouts "he's here fuck fuck Zara Yano the way I had a plan this whole time we'll I just seen his face outside and I don't think this plan is going to work anymore"

"You go hide I'll deal with him" I assured him. "Oh God no I am not leaving you to deal with him alone" he cried aloud. "Axel he's pissed with you not me I'll be fine and he won't hurt me"

Axel looked torn the minute I heard the front door open I pushed Axel away and the second the door slammed shut Axel was out of sight but Scar replaced him.

"Where the fuck is he" uh oh worse that I had originally thought his reaction was going to be. Scar looked around analysing the room trying to see if Axel was in the kitchen.

While he was looking around I texted Axel.
"Pretending to faint don't reply"

I placed my phone on the counter face down. Zara breather it's fine, you don't want Axel killed. I looked up and Scar was still preoccupied by the room.

3...2...1 I fell forward a part of me hoping that Scar would catch me. Axel owes me big big time.
