The silhouette of Brax passes before the camera as he walks to stand beside Jade. Fear is in her eyes as he yanks her hair back, holding a knife to her throat.
“I haven't decided how I’m gonna kill you yet, but I am going to take pleasure in watching you scream in agony.”
“Tank! If you’re smart, you’ll bring yourself and the money before I torture your precious baby sister to death. Good luck with that, because the torture has already begun. I will continue to torment her until she begs for death.” He nods to someone off camera. Ripper and Taz walk in front of the camera, blocking our view momentarily.
We watch, horrified as the men remove Jade’s restraints, carrying her to a bed where she is shackled, spread eagle on top. The screen goes black again.
“FUCK!” Tank screams as he hurls the computer across the room. Tears stream down his face.
“No doubt, that was the Wadesboro compound,” Maze says. “Saw the water tower out the window. Twenty minutes and we can be there.”
“Let’s ride. Now!” I order. One by one, all the bikers in the compound run outside. I take lead because this is where I shine and Tank knows it. He is not in the position to handle this. This is his sister, and emotionally it is too much for him. It is just as emotional for me. I love her. I know this now. I vow I will get Jade out of this alive or I will die trying.
Jade
My hands are bound over my head, as a fist connects with my ribs. Over and over, the men pummel me with their fists, only stopping when they tire. Then they begin kicking. I tried not to cry, not to scream, but the pain was overwhelming. Now I no longer have the energy to utter a sound as they beat me relentlessly. When they step back and I no longer feel their strikes, I see both of them unzip their jeans and pull out their cocks. Oh God, no! A faint whimper escapes my lips as they take a step closer.
I suddenly hear shouting in the background and what sounds like gunfire. I pray that a stray bullet will hit me, killing me instantly. I want to die. Please, just let me die! The screaming gets louder and both men step away from me. I hang from my wrists, unable to get free. The door slams shut behind them and I begin to fight against the chains again. This is my only chance to get away. I pull hard against the shackles, feeling my skin rip beneath them.
More gunshots ring out and I begin to panic even more. The door slams open and I turn my head to see Brax coming towards me. Gripping me by the waist, he moves himself behind me and points the barrel of his .45 to my temple. I freeze. This is it. This is really happening.
The door slams against the wall as several bikers force their way into the room. In the front stands Viper and my brother, a look of both relief and anger in their eyes.
“Step away from her!” Tank orders.
“Tell your boys to leave. Now! Or I fucking blow her head off!”
Relief. I feel instant relief seeing Viper and Tank. They are here for me. Viper will save me, just like he did before. Viper nods at the guys and one by one, they leave the room, except for him and my brother. “Jade, can you hear me?” Viper asks.
“Yes!” I cry.
“Let her go!” His teeth are clenched tightly.
“Glad you showed up, Bandit. Or should I call you Viper? I’ll hand it to you, you had me fooled. Never would have pictured you as one of them! You’re gonna die too, alongside Tank! Lower you’re fuckin’ guns or I’ll splatter her brains all over this fuckin’ room!”
Slowly, Viper and my brother lower their guns, dropping them onto the floor. Standing up straight, he raises his hands. “Let her go and you can have me. But let my sister and Viper go.”
“Viper is fuckin’ stayin’. I’m going to enjoy gutting the both of you!”
“No!” I scream. Turning my head slightly towards Brax, I beg him, “You can't hurt my brother or Viper. They have nothing to do with this. Take me and let them leave.”
“Jade, shut up!” Viper roars.
Shaking my head, I continue to plead with Brax. “This is what you wanted. Revenge. So go ahead and pull the trigger! I’m already dead anyway!”
“Close your eyes, bitch.”
As I close my eyes, I pray this will end quickly. I take in a deep breath before speaking to Viper and my brother. “I’m so sorry.”
The sound is deafening as the gun fires and everything turns to black.

Destined
When you fall in love, truly fall in love, there is no turning back. I had known for some time that there was more between Jade and I than sheer friendship. She had infiltrated my mind, consuming my thoughts every second of every day, as well as my heart.
Seeing her this way, a gun pressed tightly to her temple, had my heart racing. I have witnessed death. I have been the cause of death. Never before had I felt the sheer terror that was coursing through me at this very moment. She and I were destined to be together, of that I had no doubt, and losing her now was not an option.
I know I have mere seconds to put an end to this. I draw my .45 from behind as I lunge forward, nailing him between the eyes. He drops like a rock, blood pouring from the entrance room. I grasp Jade by the waist and gently remove her restraints, lowering her to the floor. Tank is by my side in an instant.
He grasps her in his arms, cradling her like a child. “Wake up baby girl. Please wake up!” He is panicking and I need him to back off so I can access the damage.
“Tank, I need you to back off so I can take a look.” He looks up at me with fear in his eyes. “I promise, I’ll take good care of her,” I assure him. Slowly, he releases her, allowing me to move in.
As I begin looking her over, I see she has suffered a tremendous amount of torture. “She’s gonna need a hospital,” I tell him over my shoulder.
“No, I'll have doc meet us at the compound. She won't want to be in a hospital again.” I nod my head, but I don't agree. She is going to need not only physical treatment, but mental help as well. This is her second visit to hell and I didn't know if she could handle it. I wish I didn’t have to shoot that fucker, because I would make him pay dearly for what this sweet girl was put through.
As I begin to gently lift her off the bed, she awakens in a panic. I look down at the frightened girl in my arms and my heart breaks for her. “It’s alright, I've got you,” I tell her, and I see her instantly relax.
“Tank?”
“He’s fine. He’s calling doc to meet us back at the compound.” I lower her once again to the mattress and remove my shirt. Gently, I pull the fabric over her head, covering her. I then lift her in my arms again and carry her downstairs where Maze is waiting in the van.
I hold her the entire ride back to the compound, answering her questions along the way. She is in shock, and still terrified after the ordeal she has been put through, but she is holding up better than I expected. I know it will not last long. She will snap, and I hope that she will allow me to help her after her physical wounds heal.
