Colson:

"I know you're concerned about your girlfriend, but I need you at this event tonight. It's a major distribution opportunity." Diablo said over the phone, and the sound of his voice made my blood boil. So far, I had no leads on how to find Clara, and the only thing I had come across was a note that I found in one of my novels that said "i love you".

"I'm going too." Gwen said, sitting on top of my desk as I set the phone down.

"There's no way Rook is letting you go." I leaned back in my chair.

"Rook doesn't tell me what to do." Gwen said fiercely.

"Okay, then."

She went into my cabinet and grabbed a box of bullets, loading her handgun.

"You can't go after Diablo tonight. You still don't have proof. I'm serious Colson. I'll back you up and Dom will too, but tonight is not a night to start wars." She said.

"If I find out-"

"If he's responsible, I'll help you kill him myself. I promise." She said fiercely.

We got ready and went to the event, Rook, Slim, Dom, Gwen, and I taking my SUV. I dreaded seeing Diablo. I knew he did something to Clara, or at least knew where she was.

"Kells, the man of the hour!" Diablo greeted me as we entered the venue, and drinks were immediately shoved into our hands. I stared at him darkly, and he frowned.

"What's on your mind, Kells?" He asked and I felt Gwen's small hand wrap around my wrist.

"Where's Clara?" I asked through gritted teeth and Diablo had a devious look behind his confusion.

"I have no idea. I haven't heard from her, not since last time I was at your house for a meeting.

"Don't lie to me! What happened to her?!" I barked and his hand went to the gun on his waist.

"She ran off, Kells. I don't know what else you expect from me."

"I don't believe you. If I find out that you had something to do with her disappearance-"

"Colson." Gwen dragged me away from Diablo, who watched me with a dangerous glare.

"Hey, what did we talk about?!" She asked, smacking my chest.

I spoke with clients, setting up deals, and I was getting ready to leave when I was cornered by some of Diablo's men.

"The boss wants to speak with you." They said, and I went to follow them.

Gunshots went off and people scattered. I pulled out my gun, but I was thrown onto the floor, the gun ripped from my hands before I could react. I shouted for Dom, but he was being beaten himself. Chaos ensued and I fought back, but I was beaten violently by at least five different people. I managed to shove two off of the balcony, but I was hit in the head with the handle of a knife, being knocked to the tile floor. I coughed blood as I was beaten and kicked by agents, my vision going white from pain. I saw flashes, and eventually the violence stopped, and I was left bleeding on the floor.

"Dom?! Slim?! Rook?! Gwen?!" I yelled, forcing myself to sit up. My vision was blurry and I struggled to stand, feeling pain seize my body. I definitely had fractures, and the bruising was bad. I had no idea whether the blood I was covered in was my own or others. My head was pounding, and I stared at the mostly-empty venue. The guests had fled, and I assumed the only people left were my crew and I.

"Colson!" Arms grabbed me and I jumped, but relaxed as Dom's bloody face focused in my vision.

"Are you okay?!" I asked, grabbing him and he nodded.
