Chapter 62 (Beauty's Breath) (Zero)
Beauty and Mercy are already jumping out of Mercy's car when we park.
River comes out of the house with Hannah and Den behind him. The three of them walk toward us as
we get off our bikes.
“Heard from Radar, he's on his way with one of the members from Ohio, Rebel, she might be able to
help.”
“Never heard of her,” I say as my woman comes to stand closer to me.
“Yes, you have. You will know exactly who she is when she gets here.” After assures us as her
muscular body stands next to River.
“Well, while you three stand here, and think you all bad as shit, us three ladies found something too,”
Mercy says, coming to stand next to my woman. It is then I notice that they are wearing the same style
jeans and a black t-shirt with a pink skull on the front.
“Yes, we do all the shit better,” After opens her mouth before she pulls out her switchblade and starts to
play with it around her fingers.
“I single handily took out a guy twice my size after he knocked me with a god damn crowbar. How do
you better that?” Spade crosses his arms over his chest and looks pointedly at After with a look that
says beat that fucker.
After glares at him and lifts her chin tilting it to Beauty, “Show them.”
Beauty digs something out from her pocket and holds her palm out and open. All of us step closer and
see the small device that looks like a capsule mixed with those small electric filters they use in those
Vapes these days.
“What the fuck is that?” Spade asks as his head comes right close to my woman's hand.
“t95,” Mercy answers.
“You spoke to Radar?”
“No, we haven't spoken to anyone, the name is engraved on the inside. Guess where we found it?”
“Death victims body,” Knight says.
“Yup, Beggar wanted to see the dot on the girl's arm. Mercy here decided to be brave and touch it,
thing didn't seem right so we bribed the guy to let us cut it, cost me a grand, but well worth it. She was
the only one with this in her. We think they were testing it on her to see if she'll react like them. If this is
the drug that started all of this, maybe we can check the crazy bitch upstairs,” After informs us, still
glaring at Spade who is returning the sentiment. Wonder what's happening there.
“Come on let’s get this done, Den you move out to Jo's school and get my kid to the house. I'll send
Jade and Chadley behind you.”
We all head inside apart from Knight. Brother goes to distract Harlow by offering her a ride on his bike.
In less than five minutes Texas gets a message that Harlow agreed. We listen for the throttle of his bike
and the noise of the pipes dissipate.
The lot of us rush upstairs to the old room I gave to Mercy that is currently occupied by Harley.
River, Killer and I step inside first. She is laying on the bed and gets up when she sees us all standing
there. I move to the side of the bed as River, Texas and Spade remain by her feet.
Beauty and Killer go to the other side. Mercy and After stand next to me. Snake walks in and goes
behind River, not sure he knows what is going on but he will soon. Bull folds his hands and stands by
the door.
“We need to check your arms,” River tells her.
“For what.”
“We think you might be doing drugs,” Mercy says.
Harley frowns, looking at all of us, scepticism plastered to her face.
She must be having a sane moment. Shocking us when she lifts her hands up.
The chains we put around them dangling in-between.
“Check,” She says, and her dark circled eyes look to my woman.
“You can come closer,” She smiles at Beauty when she says this.
Beauty walks the first step, my body tightens in preparation for what comes.
Killer having a more faster and less bloody plan grabs her around her waist. Planting her directly
behind him.
His eyes are void of any emotion when he bends down, his face so close to hers, “You don't get to
make decisions. I am checking it.”
He doesn't give her a moment to think about it when he grabs her arm and lifts up the loose shirt she is
wearing.
Killer presses his thumb on the upper part of her arm.
The sharp nod from him has After throwing her knife over to him which he catches as Harley starts
going bat shit crazy.
We all move in after that in a rush.
I got my knee on the bed and my hand is holding her face down as River, Spade and Texas keep her
legs straight. Killer digs the implant out.
Her screams are muffled by my hand.
“Got it,” Killer says and we let her go as Mercy shoves a needle in her neck.
“Question is if we got this out so easily why the fuck didn't Harlow think of it? She is one of the 9s.”
“I didn’t know.”
The small voice has us all turning as Bull moves from the door and we see the pesky woman standing
there with Knight standing at her back looking a bit ashen.
“Well now you do. Looks like we might have a cure darlin'” Texas says.
“t95 was an unsafe drug we perfected under a microscope but the test subjects had a weird effect with
a patterned dose of the drug. My dad was the one who had the drug trials and formulae destroyed.” NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
“So who worked close to your dad? There must have been someone your dad would have trusted?”
River asks from across the room.
“Yes, there was one, but he died some months ago.” Harlow says.
“What's his name.”
Harlow looks at all of us, her eyes stopping long and hard on me.
“Captain James Rounder,” Harlow answers.
River seems to have whatever he is looking for and gives her a nod.
“Can I see her,” She asks.
“Later, we knocked her out with some morphine.” Mercy answers and my head turns in time to see
Killer and Beggar having what looks like a heated conversation. Both of them look pissed. This is bad.
They are up to something.
