As November faded into December and the Christmas season was upon them, Luke was drowning in work at the club. Things with the business were going downhill. He had his best bartender quit and he lost two waitresses for the private booths. He was gaining more and more popularity, even though his club was already the number one club in the city, which was both good and bad. He needed more workers to handle all the customers which lead to him and the boys working more."Mike, booth 6 needs a refill on beers." Luke called, opening a new bottle of schnapps.
"You know, I thought I'd stop serving when I left Australia." Michael huffed and brought the beers to table 6.
"Why don't we hire Mackenzie as a server? She used to be one of those waitresses that wore skates, so she must be good." Calum suggested as he washed the cups.
"She just started working at the hospital for her internship, she doesn't have time to work here." Luke smiled proudly to himself. "Do you know how hot it is to date a nurse?"
"Mate, we hear it everyday." Ashton rolled his eyes. "I'm out of here, have fun tonight boys." Ashton smirked and hung up his apron on the hook.
"I'm leaving in 5 minutes." Calum reminded Luke. "Nia and I are going out."
"Are you all seriously going to make me close alone?" Luke grumbled, serving drinks at the bar.
"Sorry, mate, we've got other things to do." Michael sighed. "I have to go the ring tonight to pay the winners since you decided to don't want to show up unless it's someone important fighting."
"Feldy, you're staying tonight, right?" Luke asked, turning to Feldy.
"I don't leave. So, yes." Feldy smiled.
"I knew I could count on you, Feldmann." Luke grinned.
When most of the patrons had left, Luke hung up his apron and walked to his office. He grabbed his suit jacket and shrugged it on. He lit a cigarette and walked out to the alley to get to his car. "Hemmings!" Romeo chuckled as he leaned against the wall. "I've been waiting for you." Luke placed his hand over the spot where his gun was sitting in his pants
"What are you doing here, Romeo?" Luke snarled.
"How's your little bitch doing?" Romeo asked. "I hear she got quite the injury when you killed my niece."
"I didn't kill Sarah. Your men did." Luke seethed. "You need to stay the fuck away from Mackenzie and me."
"But, she's just so much fun and she's so easy to get." Romeo chuckled darkly. Luke had enough and pulled out his gun, cocking it and aiming it at Romeo.n"I tried to see her at the hospital today, but she's a very busy woman." Romeo smirked. "And, boy, does she look good in scrubs."
"Keep your fucking mouth shut or I will shoot you." Luke warned, nostrils flaring.
"Boys, hold him down." Romeo smirked. Al and Grayson came up behind Luke so quickly that he didn't see them until they had grabbed his arms, holding him back down.
"Let me go!" Luke yelled, thrashing around in their grips.
"Romeo, do it!" Al yelled, gripping Luke's hair and pulling his head back. Romeo pulled a knife out of his suit jacket and thrust the blade into Luke's stomach.
"That's for my niece." Romeo grinned, pulling the knife out and thrusting it in again. Luke gasped for air as he felt his lungs constricting. Romeo pulled the knife out and stabbed Luke in the stomach repeatedly. Al and Grayson let go of Luke and let him fall to the ground. Romeo laughed darkly and sent a kick to Luke's stomach. "Once you're done trying to stay alive, I'll be paying your friend Michael a visit at the ring" he said, taking a picture of him, bleeding out. "I'm sure they'll give it up right away.
