Coming Together

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Happy heads out to the van with Koz and as they get in, Koz is in the back sitting next to Happy and asks "You good brother?" and the rest of the guys look at him. "This one's mine." Happy says. Lee looks at him and asks "You claiming?" Happy looks him in the eyes and says "Yeah I am." and you see the rest of the guys smirk and smile. "You heard him guys. This one's Killa's." Lee says as he pats Happy on the back.

An hour later they have Mark and he's in a warehouse, tied up, hanging from a hook. Lee walks up and smacks him awake. "Wake up you stupid fuck." Lee says. Mark looks up and sees the guys standing there and when his eyes fall on Koz and Happy he glares at them. "Where is Marci?" Mark asks. "She's where you can't get to her." Koz says. Mark starts to struggle against the binds and asks "Do you know who I am?" Lee laughs and says "You're a fucking pig that's tied to the chair." and the rest of the guys start laughing too. Koz walks over and Mark says "You're the one that took off with Marci." Koz smirks and says "Yep and she ain't coming back." Mark glares at him. "Oh, you don't have to worry about us. This fucker is the one that you need to worry about." Koz says as he points to Happy, putting his tools out on the table.

Happy walks over and you see Mark glare at him even more. "Beating a woman. That make you feel like a man? It makes you a pussy." Happy says. "What the fuck do you care? She's nothing but a cheap piece of pussy and she ain't even that good." Mark says and Happy stops what he's doing. "Ah Shit." Koz says. Happy looks at Mark and says "She ain't a piece of pussy. She's my girl. Mine. And you don't hurt what's mine." Happy says before he punches Mark in the face, making his head jerk to the side. Mark looks back at him and says "Untie me and fight me like a man." Happy looks at Lorca and Donut and nods his head. They do as Happy wants and when Mark stands up he says "No weapons and winner gets Marci." Happy nods his agreement and all of the other guys back up, giving them room.

They dance around each other for a couple of minutes before Mark throws the first punch, missing and Happy returns the punch right to the jaw. They go back and forth, both getting hits in before Happy finally hits him hard enough to knock him down. Happy jumps on him and starts bashing his head into the floor. The last thing Mark hears is Happy say "Marci is mine." before he falls lifeless.

After disposing of the body, they head back to the safehouse and I am sitting on the couch next to Randi and she's rubbing my back to comfort me. We hear the door and I start to panic until I see Happy. He walks down the hall to the bathroom and I look at Koz. "He won't hurt you anymore." I nod and say "Thank you. All of you." They all nod and I ask "Can I go check on Happy?" She nods and I walk down the hall to the bedroom they are letting me stay in. I sit on the bed and hear the shower turn off. Happy walks in with just his boxers and jeans on and no shirt. I look down at my hands and ask "Are you okay?" He walks over and kneels in front of me. "I'm fine. Are you?" he asks and I shake my head no. "Talk to me little girl." he tells me. I finally look up at him and say "Thank you Happy. You didn't have to do that but you did and I'm grateful." I tell him. "Listen to me. He won't be coming near you again. Ever again. But I made sure he knew you were my girl. Not his." he tells me. "Will you tell me what happened?" I ask. He moves to sit beside me on the bed and takes my hand. Lacing his fingers with mine he says "He said he wanted me to fight him like a man so I did. No weapons and no one else jumped in. We went toe to toe and he was saying that winner got you. You're mine." he tells me. "Are you sure Happy. He's gone. You don't have to claim me now." I tell him. "Been alone a long time. I need someone by my side that isn't interested in just the patch on my back." he tells me. I look at him and say "Happy I don't know if I can give you what you need." he tells me. "How about this. We be affectionate but we take things a step at a time and work your way back to being comfortable with shit." he tells me. I look at him for a second and take a chance. I cup his face before leaning forward and kissing him softly. He deepens the kiss just a little before putting his forehead to mine. "You're mine." he says. "Okay." I say simply as he pulls me closer to him.
