Capture 18+

Chapter 18

(Isabella's POV)

Multiple gun shots rung through the air, my breath hitched with each shot that hit the target. I grabbed another bullet from the table loading it into the gun before shooting at the target again. A small smile lit my face seeing the deep holes I left at the centre of the target "You didn't come to play" Knox commented coming up beside me, I glanced towards Zach seeing a proud look grace his face.

I smiled at him grateful, after trying to escape yesterday Zach asked me to explain everything to him, which I did, in great detail. It was hard to talk to him about it, about the abuse I had endured I didn't want to admit to him how weak I was.

He assured me that he didn't think I was weak but quite the opposite, he thought I was strong.

I sat the gun down on the table turning to face Knox, Zach, Anderson, Ezra and Jeremiah along with a couple of other members of the club that Knox trusts. A mixture of emotions traced their faces, mostly shock, awe and anger, the latter made me nervous to what they might say.

I could hold my own just fine but not against this many men, I swallowed the lump in my throat before approaching them. "Like I said, I have great knowledge about several different parts of the industry and I know the Blood brotherhood gang inside out, I'm an asset not any enemy" I spoke looking straight to Knox, he tried to hide the smirk on his face but I could see right through him.

Knox coughed coming to stand beside me "Gentlemen I believe we have a new prospect" my blood ran cold at his words "I don't think becoming a member of the club is a good idea, I'm just here to bring the gang down that's it" I spoke hurriedly praying I don't offend any of them, "Believe me princess once you hang around here for long enough you'll want to be a member" one of the older man of the group spoke.

I looked at Zach who had a look of hurt on his face, he looked everywhere making sure not to make eye contact with me.

"How do you plan on helping us?" Knox said ignoring my previous comment, I looked away from Zach turning back towards Knox "I think this is best said in private" I declared looking around at the open space, they nodded and headed inside with me following behind them, I wrapped my hand around Zach's pulling him back until we were a few steps behind the group.

"What happened? Are you okay?" I spoke worried he's pulling away from me right when I finally accepted the fact that I love him and I want to be with him, "Why don't you want to be a part of the club?" he spoke answering my question with another. "I don't want my title in the club or my knowledge to come in between us, just because I'm rejecting Knox's offer does not mean I'm rejecting you" I spoke cupping his face, I reached up on my tip toes capturing his lips with my own.

We broke apart, a smile graced his face replacing the look of hurt, we hurried after the group just as they came upon a door which Knox opened to reveal an office. We sat around the big oak table with Zach taking a seat to my right and Knox sitting at the head of the table. The silence enveloped us, everyone looked towards me waiting for me to start explaining.

I looked towards Zach feeling my heart race heavily against my chest, being disloyal to the gang means paying for your life and your family's life. I took a deep breath turning back to the rest of the crew, Anderson looked everywhere but at me, the revelation about me organising the trade that ended up killing his friend didn't sit well with him.

He took the news just as I expected him to with bitterness and hatred towards me, Jeremiah on the other hand still looked confused about what's going on, he spent a few days in the hospital and they didn't tell him anything about what's happening with me being affiliated with the gang, it's only less than 24 hours since they told him who I am and he is still confused as to what's going on.

Ezra sat next to Knox, my heart still hurt, I felt that we were building a friendship before all of this, I really felt that I was making friends and building a new life, now I realise he was suspicious of me the whole time and he was only my friend to figure out my secrets.

"The Blood brotherhood gang consisted of Alejandro, he's the head of the gang, then there's Andres his brother, he's Alejandro right hand man but in reality Andres runs everything, if he doesn't he gets people to run it" I took a deep breath making sure to not let any detail slip my mind.

"Alejandro is all muscle no brain, he's the face of the gang. Andres" I scoffed thinking about what he's like "Andres is smart, he's not to be underestimated. The gang only had one rule, do not betray the gang, that's the only rule we had to follow and they took it seriously, I've seen a lot of different murders of gang members just because they were believed to be traitors"

"You're telling us a lot of shit, but you ain't telling us how to get them" Anderson snapped slamming his fists on the table, if I wasn't already terrified his looks alone would have me shivering in my shoes. "There's only one way to eliminate the gang, that's to kill Andres, without him in the picture Alejandro wouldn't know what to do" Knox nodded glancing at Zach.

"How do we lure him away from his gang? You need to understand Isabella we need to do this without losing our men." My mind raced with a thousand of possibilities but only one stuck out to me, it's the only way for Andres to be gone from my life without me having to worry and look over my shoulder with every step I take.

"You're going to tell him where I am, tell him that you found me. He'll come for me"
