Locked once more(Book 2)

Chapter 24

I could see the curiosity in his eyes. Wondering why Lee was out of prison. I wanted to chime in, but I would give it away. I was getting good at lying to people, but honestly, Damien would see right through me. I was looking forward to seeing Derek again, though my mind instantly goes back to him lying to us, and leaving with Damien. And then the guilt of sleeping with Wes sets in too. Honestly, this was like a bad dream. I either wanted to punch him for lying and leaving, or hug him and pretend we were even.

"Damien, it is great to see you again," Lee says. Damien tilts his head.

"How did you get out?" Damien asks getting too suspicious.

"Well, an old member of our team somehow got word of my imprisonment and saved some cash up and he posted my bail today, I came here looking for Addison and Derek, but wouldn't you know it, I found the little bitch, but not Derek, haven't seen your son lately have you?" He says, not meaning a word he was saying, his hands didn't tighten around my arm at all. He was trying to be brutal, but gentle. Letting me know he was still on my side.

Damien didn't notice the hand on my arm at first but then looked down at Lee holding me back up, and he nodded.

"Hmm, I suppose you have beef with them both, I have seen my son, he's been with me for a few weeks, but I don't expect him to be happy to see you, he put you in jail, and I don't suppose Addison was happy either," He yes, looking at me, I act like I'm scared flaring my nose up, flinching against Lee.

"I- I'll go, just don't hut my sisters," I said, making my voice shake. He nods, sticking his tongue against his cheek.

"Yeah, I won't touch them, just make sure you don't double-cross me," He says looking at Lee after. Lee notices the tension drawing to him. So he looks at Faith, who is still, but ready if I need her.

"And the wolf goes I suppose," Lee says looking back at Damien. He nods scoffing.

"Yep, and if you are coming back with us, I guess you'll try taking the reins again," He says. Lee shakes his head.

"No, I want to be an equal, but if I come back too, Addison will stay with me, at all times, her and the mutt, better safe than sorry with this one, right?"

"Yeah, I suppose, it is, alright, you can be a partner, but just make sure this one," He stops pointing at me, "Doesn't leave your sight or side."

Lee nods, and Damien looks at Faith, then at me, and back at Lee. Damien tells Lee to search for a phone. Like I would ask for help. Lee pats me down, ignoring the phone in my jacket pocket, on the inside. He doesn't touch it. He tries to be discreet about touching it, acting as though there is nothing in my pocket. After he does the usual pat down, Damien disappears for a moment, running back as soon as he does. He holds up the knife I had hidden that he had given me before. And nods to us both.

"If I give this to you, you won't stab me with it, right?" He asks me. I shake my head.

"Good, I want you to give it to Derek when we arrive, he'll know I've been visiting you, that will rile him up, maybe then he will understand," Damien says. Handing me the knife. Like I would use it anyway. It's too dull to be used.

He leads us through the passageway, to the exit. Where he then leads us to the right, about a mile up the road. An older black GMC is sitting next to an abandoned barn. The night was cold, and I had no jacket, so I was cold. I had been thinking about Dwayne. He didn't know I was already gone. But once he looked inside, he would realize I was no longer in the villa. Maybe we could get in and out within a week or at least two. But we needed to make sure Damien wouldn't suspect Lee as a traitor. Staying a while would ensure his loyalty or his fake loyalty.
