on her. She sat there and wondered if her car
was fixed, but secretly she hoped it wasn't. Not today and definitely not
tomorrow.
    She wanted more of Erik.

nine.
     
    “ You
jerked it while I was with a woman? ” Erik asked.
    “ You
weren ’ t with a woman, ” Blaine said as he held his
stomach. “ You were down on
her, man. You know how much I love that, right? The sight of that woman … fuck man, she looks so
delicious. Was it? ”
    Erik curled his lip. “ What the fuck is wrong with you? ”
    “ Just
answer me, man. What did it taste like? ”
    Erik put a hand out and stopped
Blaine. “ It tasted like
pussy. ”
    He pushed and walked. Blaine
lingered back a few seconds.
    “ But
what did it taste like? ” Blaine yelled. “ There ’ s different kinds of pussy, man. ”
    The entire bar now looked at Erik
as he walked by. He felt like smacking Blaine again. This time he could knock
him right in the fucking mouth and take him out. But there was something bigger
to take care of here.
    At the door to the meeting room,
Erik reached out and grabbed Blaine. He pulled Blaine to where they were almost
touching nose to nose.
    “ Not
a word, ” Erik said. “ Got it? ”
    “ Mark
my fucking word, ” Blaine
said.
    “ Everything
good here? ” a voice asked.
    Nate was like a giant, thick with
muscles, chains dangling everywhere, a pissed off look permanently attached to
his face.
    “ Just
great, ” Blaine said.
    Erik opened the door and once he,
Blaine, and Nate took their seats, the table was full. Smoke hung in the air as
Gaige inhaled on a fresh cigarette. There were beer bottles all around and
Miller stood behind his chair gripping the back of it.
    “ Are
we ready? ” Miller asked.
    The entire table got quiet and
nodded at Miller.
    “ First
things first, ” Miller said. “ Last night we had a
meeting with Strokner. Didn ’ t
get a whole lot from the man, but enough to know that shit is deep. On the way
out of there, there was some business to be dealt. ”
    Eyes were upon Erik. Erik looked at
Griffin. “ Got something to
say? ”
    “ Nope, ” Griffin said. “ Heard you were protecting our
President. ”
    “ Not
just that, ” Miller said. “ He saved a little kid. Heard from
Chief today that the  kid ’ s
father was wanted for attempted murder in three states and had intended on
taking the kid to his apartment and then going back to kill the kid ’ s mother. You saved that boy,
Erik. Be proud. ”
    Gaige clapped and whistled. The
table followed suit. It pissed Erik off. He wasn ’ t
some comic book vigilante asshole. All he had wanted to do was fight someone
and he had done just that.
    “ That ’ s enough, ” Erik finally said.
    “ Strokner
made it clear that this is serious, ” Gaige said. “ Shay, you have
to think long and hard about your past, man. ”
    “ Yeah,
I get that. ”
    “ Someone
is coming for you. Old fling? Old business dealing? Something hiding in your
closet, bro? ”
    Shay looked around the table. “ When you live my life, all you
have are enemies waiting. ”
    “ I
think that goes for all of us, ” Nate said.
    “ Guess
my enemies have more balls, ” Shay said.
    The table chuckled. Then everyone
looked at Erik, remembering the outcome of the bombing.
    “ I
don ’ t think it ’ s fucking funny, ” Erik said. “ You need to think, Shay. You
need to really figure this out. Take a night off of pussy and find out who did
this. ”
    “ You
think it ’ s that easy? ” Shay asked. “ You know what I did for a living
to survive? ”
    “ I
don ’ t give a fuck. How does
that sound? ”
    Shay stood and pointed at Erik. “ You took that bomb, brother, and
I ’ m sorry for that. But I
didn ’ t put the fucking
thing in the car. ”
    “ Sit
down! ” Miller yelled. “ Christ. Erik and Blaine went to
dig a little today. What did you guys find? ”
    Blaine looked at Erik and winked.
    Erik found some pussy …
    “ Those
two guys at that garage are fucking morons, ”
