Find A Way Back ✔

Chapter 16

Reaper's POV

Her mother and Roxanne left shortly after we arrived. We were now sitting in the living room waiting for her to wake up.

"That was terrifying. I've never seen her act that way." Bella said sitting on the chair with a coffee in her hand.

"It can happen after a traumatic event." Kraken said.

She took a deep breath and excused herself to shower.

We brought out some information that Virus was able to find. We were going through it when we heard a gasp behind us.

We turned to see a red puffy eyes behind us.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

She never left the paper in front of us. She walked around and moved the sheet around and pointed to a picture.

"Who's that?" She asked.

I looked down and who she was pointing at.

"That's Reginald Hunts or 'Necro'." Kraken said.

"Necro?" She asked.

"Short for necrophiliac or so they say."

"Gross." She said.

"Why do you ask?"

"That was the man in the alley. The man who was getting off on me being hurt."

"You remember?" I ask sitting up.

"Parts of it. Some is still blurry."

"What do you remember?" Kraken asked.

"I was walking back to the dorms and someone grabbed me from the alley. He held his hand to my mouth while this one was talking to me. Something about Deputy Johnson and my mother. I think my mom might have something to do with it." She said.

I sent a message off to Virus to look into the Riley's.

"He said that since he couldn't get what he wanted from me they were going to have fun. And I don't remember anything after that."

Hearing that pissed me off. I bet that was when they were holding her down.

"We have the video of what happened to you." Kraken said. She looked at us alarmed.

"Y-you saw what happened?"

"While you were in the hospital. We tried to see if we could find out who did it. That's how we managed to get his picture." Kraken said.

She looked away and back at us.

"Can I see it?" She asked.

He pulled out his laptop and the email Virus sent us.

"Tell me if it's too much." I told her.

She nodded sitting on the floor in front of the coffee table. We hit play.

She brought her hand to her mouth and I could see the tears. She brought her free hand to my leg that was by her head. She just watched and when it was done, she stared at the screen.

"Was that Aaron? The one who shot the gun?" She asked.

Kraken nodded.

"Th-they were going to r-rape me."

Her shoulders sagged at the realization that this could've been worse.

She went still for a moment like she was thinking something then her head snapped to me. Her face unreadable.

"He said my mother did what she was supposed to and got rid of Ranger and that he needed me to finish the club. He's after the entire club." She said.

Kraken looked confused.

"We've never had a problem with him. I've never even heard of Crimson Warriors."

He looked at me and I shrugged my shoulders. I had no idea who they were and never heard of them either. This was all new to us.

"Maybe your father knows something." I asked.

"We'll go ask him."

Kraken started pulling everything together. I got up next to him as she stayed on the floor with her knees to her chest.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me." She gave a small smile.

It was still tense between us and I knew that we'd eventually have to talk about it. But right now, I didn't think was a good time. She needed time to heal and we'll talk about it then.

When we got back to the clubhouse, we spotted Roadkill and Vulture nursing some beers. It was now late after noon but nobody else was here. We sat the booth and we spread the papers out.

We started telling them what Alli told us and what we found out.

"I never heard of the Crimson Warriors." Vulture said.

Roadkill picked up the photo of the man that she pointed out and stared for a minute.

"Vulture, he looks familiar." Roadkill said.

He slid the photo over and he stared at it.

"He does."

They stared at the photo for a moment but they both looked like they were confused. 

"I'm sure we know him." Vulture said.

"I'll take a look around. I'm sure I can find something." Roadkill said before getting up and heading God knows where.

What we need to find out is why he's dead set on coming after Devils Creed.

"Do you think it's just another person trying to make a name for themselves?" Kraken asked his dad.

But he shook his head no.

"No, this seems more personal."

There were a few questions that needed to be answered. 

Like what do they have against my father and the club?

And what does Allison's mom have to do with it?
