Although I’m surprised by the violence behind her words, my smile is dark as I reply, “I intend to.”
She nods, some of the anger in them fading as she replies, “Good.”
After she walks off, I say to the others, “If Tomlinson doesn’t manage to get him under control soon, then we’re going to have to take matters into our own hands.”
“I’m already on it,” Cash says, “I’ve got a couple of our people looking into his family and what moved them here.”
“Good idea,” Trick replies, “we can drive them out of town if we need to. We’ve done it before.”
“I have a feeling that Billy isn’t going to mind this time,” Rafe signs.
“Definitely not,” Riot agrees and then adds, “From what I’ve heard, they’ve spent most of their summer fucking chasing his ass around and trying to keep him in line.”
“I knew it had to be bad if they wanted us to step in,” I reply, and then add, “I can’t wait to make him fucking bleed.”
Trick smirks and then adds seriously, “Don’t kill him.”
“I won’t, but I’m going to make him wish he was dead,” I reply, my mind turning dark.
“It’s been a while since someone in a Pit fight has deserved it quite as much as this guy does,” Luc muses.
I nod, “Yeah, he’s more like one of our jobs.”
“Come on, we better get to class,” Trick announces.
I sigh, I’m really not in the fucking mood to sit in a classroom all day, but after we got caught at the Pit, we all made a promise to our parents that we wouldn’t skip school anymore, and we’re sticking to it.
“I should’ve brought more coffee,” Cash says, looking down at his cup forlornly.
Trick chuckles and claps him on the shoulder, “Come on, man, we can get you more coffee at lunch; I’m pretty sure we’ve only got one lesson left now, anyway.
“Fine, but I’m holding you to that.” Cash grumbles.
As I walk through the school doors, I see my math teacher coming from the other direction. He nods in acknowledgment but doesn't say anything as he just carries on walking. I love the amount of respect that we’ve gained here. Even some of the cops will look the other way if we need them to; they’re aware of what we’ve done for the town and what we continue to do. The only reason that we couldn’t sweep the Pit incident under the proverbial rug is because of how big the operation was and how many people were involved.
We did get off a lot lighter than we should have.
The joys of living in a small town.
“Do you think any of them called the cops?” Luc asks curiously, not sounding concerned at all.
Trick shakes his head, “I doubt it. They knew we had it covered. If it turned into a full-on fight, then they may have.”
I shake my head, “I hope Billy is stressing the importance of following the fucking rules, especially at the moment.”
Cash’s eyebrows raise slightly, “If he doesn’t, we will; Billy knows that and doesn’t want his authority undermined.”
“Good point. That would make people lose faith in his ability to be in charge. The last thing any of them needs is a power struggle.” Trick replies.
“If that happens, it’ll most likely spill over to affect us with people trying to make power plays,” Riot adds with a frown.
“I don’t think we need to worry. No one can lead it like Billy can, even with an idiot like Ryan causing shit.” Trick replies.
Chapter Ten
Jensen
School is done for the day, and everyone has been talking all day about the fight. I’d be worried that someone would let something slip to the wrong person or that the teachers would overhear, but honestly, we’ve been doing this for long enough now that everyone knows to code what they say. So we don’t need to worry about the Pit being exposed.
