Chapter 38

Max's POV***

Man! I have really fucked up now! Angel is pissed off enough to get revenge on me. Then I go and ruin it more by getting pissed instead of just relenting and agreeing to never prank the prank master again. 

I leave her house in embarrassment, not anger. Although it most likely looks like anger. I just don't know how to express my feelings when it comes to her. Then I bungle it worse by getting pissed at myself but taking it out on those that I love.

I call Drake for advice. But all he tells me is to fix my attitude or let Ash be happy without me. He also said that when she loves, she means it for life. So maybe I can fix myself and she will still take me back! God, I really hope so. I need that woman more than anyone else in my life.

On Sunday I head to the office for an hour to prepare a file for Thane. 

I am leaving the apartment for dinner with Drake and Anna. I stop by the store for some beer before heading to Drake's. I see a truck pull up to the curb by my truck. When I get to it, I see that it is the Black Momba's. Oh hell! I think fast and decide to see what they want. There is a slight chance that they don't know that I was the u.c. and against them. Even though we are just a few blocks from my office. Not to mention that it is Sunday.

I act like I don't see them yet as I open my door.

"What's up, Justice? We haven't seen you in a while." Mongo says as I am about to sit in the truck.

I look at the crew that I definitely don't miss. "Oh hey, guys. Good to see you out! When did you get out?" I ask in a friendly tone.

"We been out for a few weeks. Where you been?" Cobra asked. He is acting way too casual for me not to be suspicious. I think they know who I really am.

"Well I was in the hospital for a while. Then I was in Sussex County lock-up. I got out about three weeks ago." I answer evenly.

Dracula opens the door to their truck. "Get in!" Cobra said immediately. I knew that I was in trouble now. I am glad that I hid my phone in my boot when I left the office. I get into the truck after locking my truck up. I leave the beer in my truck. Maybe someone will check up on me and find my truck. Then they will start searching for me. I just pray that it isn't too late. Man, I am totally screwed now! And Angel thinks that I hate her. When I actually love her so much more than I ever thought possible for me to do. But she is like that. She brings the best out of everyone. Even me!

Mongrul and Maniac haven't even looked at me this entire exchange.

I notice that we are driving towards Sturgis! Maybe I can get Thane or one of the Tucker's attention for help. At least I think they are still there.

As we get closer, I see Angel driving away from their campsite. I am about to signal for her when I feel something poke my ribs. I look down and see Maniac holding a pistol against my ribs. 

"Don't even try to signal your slutty girlfriend. We know that you have been fucking Ashton Thomas for a while now. We know that she is a cop. We know that you are too." Cobra said with menace lacing every word.

"A fucking cop! You betrayed us!" Mongral adds.

Oh Hell! I am in some pretty deep shit right now! They know! Everything?! I can only assume that it is everything.

"Look! I ain't a cop! That is my twin. We haven't talked in almost ten years now. I am telling you the truth! You are wrong this time!" I try lying my way out of this cluster fuck.

"You fuckin liar!" Was the only warning that I got before Dracula hit me, breaking my nose. Then Cobra hit me over the head with his pistol. I almost blacked out.
