“Is this…?”
“Blood,” Devon confirmed.
I could feel the color drain from my face, and I glanced up at Zack, who was watching me carefully. He took the paper from my hands and stared at me challengingly.
“Is he right, Mila?” he asked. “Are you the prey?”
I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out.

“Don’t worry,” Zack said. “You won’t be for long.”

“Hey,” Lonny said, walking into the garage where all the motorcycles were stored. The smell of oil, grease, and fumes was in the air, and it comforted me.
“Just got here?” I asked.
“Yeah,” Lonny nodded. “What are you doing out here?”
“Just trying to find a quiet fucking place to think,” I admitted.
“Is that it?” Lonny asked with one raised eyebrow. “Or are you just trying to avoid Mila?”
I looked at Lonny pointedly. He was keeping his expression calm and measured, but I could sense the smile beneath it.
“Why would I be avoiding her?” I asked indifferently.
“Oh, I don’t know… the men seem to think that there’s tension between the two of you.”
“Yeah,” I said sarcastically. “And that kind of shit bothers me? Fuck that. I’m in here because I want to be.”
Lonny held up his hands. “Just saying… No need to bite my head off.”
“Any leads on Walter Black?” I asked, changing the subject because I didn’t want to have to continue to be defensive about it.
“We’ve been searching,” Lonny replied. “The guy’s a ghost.”
“Which means only one thing,” I said, feeling as though my suspicions were being confirmed.
“He’s connected to some dangerous people.”
“Yes.”
“Who do you think we’re dealing with here?”
“The Lucifer’s Knights,” I said quietly.
“No,” Lonny said, shaking his head. “It can’t be.”
“Why not?” I questioned. “We don’t know every member of their crew, and new pledges tend to feel invincible once they join the ranks. It’s a mark of honor to be ingratiated into the inner circle of the Knights.”
“Pledges are not a part of the inner circle,” Lonny pointed out.
“No,” I agreed. “But I think this guy might be.”
Lonny frowned. “If that’s the case… this has the potential to become bigger than it needs to be.”
