Battle Scars

Ch 36

I walked down the main street of NYC. People look at me and some edge away. My face is hard, showing no emotion. I know all too well that there is a raging fire in my dark eyes. The fire just keeps getting bigger because just seeing the people moving away from me makes me more mad. If they only new...

I walk up to the 'bad' side of town. I see Owen, Mark and Mackenzie pacing back and forth. The words Nick spoke run through my head "AL whatever you do DON'T trust Ma-" . Who does he mean? Mackenzie? Mark? Max?

Well Max is a given but did Mark or Mackenzie tell Max where I went? How did they find out? Only Jax and Jack know I went to England. Max does have spies but I would have seen them. Owen is the first to spot me and he comes running up to me.

"AL! Is everything ok?! Have you seen KT or Nick?! I called them but they didn't answer!" Owen said eagerly. The pain hits me; They're dead. I was hoping that I could keep everyone out of this. Michael's words run through my head "You can't protect everyone Al."

I scream in frustration. Anger finally surges through me. "MAX I FUCKING HATE HIM! I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! HE JUST KEEPS PULLING MORE PEOPLE IN AND IT NEEDS TO STOP! NOTHING WILL BE OK UNTIL MAX IS DEAD!"

I run to the closest building and punch it. The brick cracks.

I continue to punch it until Owen prys me away from the brick building. "Al look at me. LOOK AT ME!"

I look at him with a hard glare. "Have you seen Nick and KT? They have been gone for about 3 days." Owen looks concerned. I pushed him off of me and walk away from him. I slid my hands over my face.

"Max killed them." I turn to face him. "he killed them in front of me along with my father." I turn away again and start walking. Owen jogs to catch up with me.

"Max, He gave me 48 hours to get him the information. Soooo in that time we need to find a HQ and set up a gang and get weapons. We invade in 48 on the point. Once we find Max I will burn the information right in front of him." Owen looks confused "Wait you're returning?" I nod. A big smile creeps onto his face. He has been waiting for a long time for this.

"So what should we do?" Owen asks stopping me. I turn to face him. "We get started. Give NO information to Mark or Mackenzie. One of them is a traitor. They sold Nick and KT out." I said walking over to them.

"NOT TRUE! Neither of them would do that!" he says walking after me. I spin around. "YA? Ya?! Do you think Nick would lie in his last moments of life? THAT is why he got killed. He was trying warn us! Once Max shot him he said he needed to learn how to keep his mouth shut!" Owen looks to the ground. I make my way over to Mark and Mackenzie.

"Hey Al!" Mark says cheerfully. Owen comes over with and angry face. He knows I'm right. But who?

Owen slams Mackenzie into the wall. "Wo wo wo wo! Owen stop!" Mark yells moving over to him. I grab Marks arm to prevent him from moving.

"It was you wasn't it! 3 days ago all three of you went to the bar! ONLY YOU CAME BACK! YOU SAID THEY WENT HOME!! YOU BLOODY TRAITOR!!" Owen screams in her face. She only smirks. So she's the one.
