Restrain Me #WATTYS2019

July 22 2007

"Mack we've been here for fucking hours and she hasn't said a fucking word!" Colson shouted as he paced the room. I sat frozen on the leather couch in Mack's 'office'. Mack was in front of me, on his knees with his hand holding mine.

"She just stabbed someone Colson, after everything she learned she's going to need a second, calm down or leave." He hissed as I looked over at him. "You're safe here Mil, I've got the whole crew guarding this place, three boys on their way to keep eyes on Natty. You're safe. You're mother is safe. You can talk whenever you're ready." I shook my head, I was never going to be ready to talk about this. I never wanted to talk about this again, but they had no idea what that message meant. I did. I had to say something.

"Graysen sent Banks with a message for me." I whispered, making Colson stop in his tracks. Brandon, JP, and the man I assumed was Baze popped up at my words.

"What was it, darling?" Mack's eyes were soft as he watched me closely. I closed my eyes, tears still dripping down.

"He said I-I'm ne-next." I choked out as Colson's body froze in place. Mack sighed as he let go of me, walking to what I'm assuming was his desk.

"What the fuck?" JP finally exclaimed as he stood, walking to Mack. "What the fuck are we going to do? They won't be pleased with her stabbing the messenger!" I looked down, playing with my fingers as Colson came in front of me.

"I've been doing this since before you were born Rookie, don't question me here." Mack pointed as he dug through his desk. "For now, I want you to stay with her at Natty's, once she gets back I will talk to her and we will figure something out long term." Colson wrapped me in his arms, the sound and thump of his heart calming me immediately. "My main priority is keeping you safe Amelia, they will not touch you ever again." Colson nodded with Mack as he came back in front of us, holding out an unmarked 9mil to me. "This stays on you at all times. Not hidden under floor boards." He winked as I chuckled softly. I took the weapon, pulling back from Colson to tuck it into the back of my sweats.

"Where do you want us going now, while the boys are figuring shit out?" Colson asked as I moved my head to the center of his chest.

"Take her out to the safe house. There's always guards there, the 7.8 doesn't know the location. Stop at the Marathon right before, Kyne will have the keys." Colson nodded as he motioned for the others to come. "I want Dub with you as well, and grab that other girl." I looked over at Brandon who pulled his phone out, calling Sloan.

"Thank you Mack." Colson smiled as he lifted me, walking out of the room and to the main part. Large men watched me and Colson, making me hide my face.

"They aren't starring at you, they are making sure you're okay." Colson whispered as I lifted my head, seeing a few of the men smile at me.

"Do they know about Dad?" I whispered as Colson nodded. "So what I'm a big deal?" Colson chuckled as we reached the door, a sweet younger boy opened the door, smiling at Colson and I.

"You're like royalty to them Princess." He winked as I just chuckled, letting him place me into the passenger seat of the large SUV. "Are you okay enough for me to drive Baby?" Colson's face held so much emotion it made my head run. I nodded as he placed a soft kiss to my lips, before going to his side of the car and climbing in. JP, Brandon, and Baze climbed in. Thankfully the SUV had third row seating for the new guy we had to pick up and Sloan.

"So I'm really royalty here?" I asked as all the guys in the back chuckled. "What?" I asked turning around seeing Baze smiling at me.

"Before I met you, I'd heard many stories about you, as well as your parents. Your father was working with the gang to change the gang. Thanks to Henry and Mack we no longer kill, we act when needed. And you, you've been a legend before you could even walk. Mack always goes on about you. He hooked you up at Bigs, he's the reason you have your own personal body guard." I stared at him wide eyed as Colson chuckled.
