The Devil is Marvelous

Chapter 61

-Jaxon's POV-

It was almost time for the last race, so it was my cue to go search for Melissa. The problem was - Frank was nowhere to be found. He was supposed to race, which would keep the boss occupied while he waited to see his nephew cross the finish line first. Unfortunately I stood next to a very angry drunk with a bunch of unanswered calls.

"Where the fuck is this kid" he seethed. Rogue audibly gulped behind me.

"Sir, I am sure he will be here" Rocco said. Him and his idiot partner Lager were on the other side of the boss downing their third beer each. To this day I was not sure why they came to races, I had only ever seen them on bikes once.

Plus they irratate the living hell out of me. I will never forgive them for attacking Daphne and Ava. They are disgusting worthless bags of-

"That's it" the boss announced, tucking his phone away. "I am going to find my nephew. Rogue, go race in the final heat, and if you don't win I promise you will not live to see tomorrow."

The boss stomped off and my partner sighed. "Great, so much for helping you out"

"It's fine, man. Not your fault. Do me a favor and win tonight"

"Hell I will do myself the favor, I'm not trying to die yet." He patted my back then jogged off to get on his bike. I heard Lager and Rocco snickering.

"What the hell are you two weasels looking at?" I spat.

I turned away, cursing the night as I followed my boss off the track. There was no reason to keep waiting around, I had to find Melissa and get her out of here before the races were over.

Ducking in and out of the shadows I followed Ace to his home where Franks bike was parked outside. It was weird as fuck that he wouldn't show up to race, which meant something was probably going on inside the house.

What if he was guarding Melissa and lost track of time? Fuck this could be complicated.

The boss stood outside peering through his living room window, which had me confused. What the hell is looking at? Just go inside already!

Eventually he did just that. I waited until I heard the door close before I dashed over to the side of the house. I did a quick glance inside to make sure no one was looking, then I positioned myself in the corner of the window. A dull red curtain blocked some of my view, but I could make out the boss standing in front of a girl, and Frank sitting on the couch next to her.

Fuck fuck fuck they have Melissa, what do I do?

I sent Rogue a text to come help as soon as he was done racing. I knew he wouldn't see it until later, so I was hoping the last heat ended quickly.

I took another glance inside and now the boss was down on a knee in front of... Ava???

It can't be Ava. No no no what the FUCK is she doing in there?

I felt like my head was about to explode. This was even worse than I thought. Not only did I have to save Melissa, now Ava too. Goddamnit, of all the things to go wrong.

A thought occurred to me, what if Frank found where Gray had parked his car...

"SHIT!" I hissed, whipping my phone back out. I tried calling Gray, then again, then when he did not respond, Daphne then Kim. Not one of them picked up my call.

I sent a quick text to Gray, tucking my phone away. There is no way Frank would have hurt them, right?

I peaked inside again to see Frank making his way towards the front door, leaving Ava with Ace. My started to sweat, shaking my head. This was very bad.
