With a blind fold over her eyes, Ezra rode in the passenger seat of the car while Ryder drove. Her foot tapped as she waited impatiently.

"Do I really have to wear this the entire drive?" Ezra asked annoyed.

"Yes," Ryder rolled his eyes. "I'm not letting you figure out where our shipments are held."

"You like to remind me the I am a part of this gang, but moments like this make me feel like I'm not." Ezra crossed her arms.

"Don't act like you want to be in Venom when you clearly don't," Ryder scoffed as he stopped the car.

His hand reached out to pull the fabric from Ezras eyes. As he did, Ezra faced a large warehouse. Looking around, she saw that there was nothing for miles on any side. Behind the warehouse was the ocean and on all sides was vast nothingness.

Ezra climbed out of the car and waited at her door while Ryder got out. He went around the car to Ezra and held onto her by the hip. She groaned, but followed his lead.

At the front door of the warehouse a large man and woman stood. Both held large guns and angry looks on their faces. Seeing Ryder, they unlocked and opened the metal door.

Inside, Ezra saw a large open building. Around her people moved with large machines holding large crates. Ryder led her over to a corner where a room was built. Pushing open the door, the two walked into a conference room.

A large table sat in the middle of the room. A few people, two being Xander and Jax, sat around it. On the table in front of them were drugs, guns and files. Ezra could only assume the files held images of women.

Ryder went to the head of the table, pulling out the chair next to the head for Ezra. Ezra sat while Ryder sat in his chair. Reaching towards a bag in the center of the table, he grabbed the bag of coke. His eyes examined it before he spoke.

"Have any more shipments gone missing?" He questioned.

"We've noticed some merchandise go missing, but no full shipments," A man spoke up.

"Why was I not informed of this?"

No one spoke as they all looked between each other. Ryder scoffed as he threw the bag back on the table.

"If I am not told of something like this again, it's your heads."

Everyone around the table nodded. Ryder continued talking about different shipments while Ezra listened in. They talked about women, drugs and weapons. At one point, Ryder dismissed half of the table. Only Xander, Jax and a select few remained.

"Has JP contacted you?" He asked one of the women at the table.

"One of his men messaged me this morning. He wants to meet in the next week."

"Tell him to give you a time and place and I'll meet him there."

The woman nodded before quickly leaving the room.

"JP told us he has new items he wants to sell as well as information," someone spoke up.

"What information?"

"He said someone came to him, offering him money to stop doing business with you."

Ryder slammed his fist on the table, startling Ezra.

"If that happens we'd lose millions," Ryder growled. "This rat needs to be taken out."

"I can put more men on it," Xander suggested.

"Figure out who is trying to take me out and do it fast," Ryder demanded as he stood up, grabbing Ezra in the process. "We are taking this little bastard out."
