Start over

Chapter 19

RYDER'S POV
Jackson barges into the apartment with Joey following behind him. We have been waiting for them to get here. Chloe stopped crying and is now just laying on the couch with her head in my lap while I rub her back. Jackson starts pacing around while Joey just watches us all. "What do you mean they relocated??" He asks while still pacing. Chloe sits up but I continue to rub her back. "I was in the woods calming down like I always do and I came upon something I clearly wasn't supposed to. I found a warehouse with a big fence around it. I was going to ignore but then I heard yelling and I knew the voice so I stayed and watched" she stops and sighs. "I saw Tony walk out with a couple guys from Kentucky. They look like they were planning something so I snuck in to hear better" she looks at us all to make sure we are paying attention. I nod for her to continue. "He is planning to over throw our gang" she says while watching Jackson. "Did you hear how?" He asks looking at her. "He has a mole" she says and all our eyes go wide. "Do you know who?" I ask. "No he didn't say but I have an idea by what he said" she looks down and clenches her fists. "Who?" I ask while still rubbing her back trying to calm her. She looks at Jackson then at Joey then it hits me. I stand up get in Joey's face "you bastard!" I yell. He instantly shrinks but recovers quick. "You aren't serious? I would never betray Jackson or Chloe" he says while looking at her. She stands up and hugs him which confuses both me and Jackson. "I'm sorry" is all she says before Joey is on the floor unconscious. Me and Jackson go wide eyed at her. "He's not dead. I just put him to sleep for awhile. Take him to the warehouse and don't let him out have someone watch him" while she says this she grabs his phone. "Now" she yells. Jackson calls some guys to come get him.

After three guys from the gang show up they pick up Joey and drag him out Jackson following. "Aren't you guys coming?" He asks me and Chloe. I look at her for a response. "No go deal with him. I have a job for me and Ryder" she says giving Jackson a look he nods and says "stay safe please" before he walks out. I look at Chloe to see her opening Joey's phone.

CHLOE'S POV
Im really confused to say the least. One of my best friends is a traitor and I now have to figure out how to take down my psycho cousin. I look at Ryder to see him already looking at me. "Go make some coffee we have a long night ahead of us" I say. He follows my orders and heads to the kitchen. I open Joey's phone and go to his recent texts. His last text was to a contact called Jessie but I look at the number and knew it was Tony. I sigh and open the conversation. He sent a text before he got here and said "important news. I don't know what it is but I'll update you when I know" he really was the traitor. It hurt to realize it but some people are only looking out for themselves.

Ryder comes back with two coffee cups and hands me one. I nod a thank you to him. "How are you feeling?" He asks trying to know how to act around me. I crack a little "I'm peachy. My best friend is a mole for my crazy psycho cousin who wants to take over my other cousin's gang so he can ruin this community too" I say holding back tears because we don't have time for that. "Hey! You don't have to be so strong all the time you know. It's okay to be upset and cry" he says rubbing my back in a way that actually soothes me. "I know but we don't have time right now." I say and pull out Joey's phone.

We read the conversations and find out he has been a mole for 2 months now. He has told Tony about multiple of our members and their weaknesses. The only ones he didn't tell him about were Ryder,Cole,and me. "We need to find Cole he is only one without a file" I say while I continue reading. "He will help" he says and I nod in response. Then I read something that shocks me. "We can definitely use this" Ryder says next to me with a wicked smirk.
