âIâve been wondering, what the fuck could have ticked them off so much they left her with the dead guy and vanished? That just doesnât gel with me,â
Zero rubs at his scar a sign something isn't adding up.
I already have my suspicion about that, but I never talk until I have the facts. Natasha is not someone Iâm keen on talking to just yet. I needed to keep my eye on Sienna; I suspected she had much bigger fish to catch, and I was going to enjoy the trip. We didnât get to talk in the car; I knew she was in pain, and when she got back, I presumed she needed space. But she canât hide forever.
âNatasha isn't telling us the rest of the story. The girl is cute, but she canât lie to save her life. Frost said sheâll handle Natasha,â River says.
âEither way, Prez, I set up a meeting with the President of the Chainsaws. The MC is notorious for shooting first and asking questions later,â Zero says.
âOkay, I'll send After and Mercy to be our shadows, make sure you take those fuckers out if they so much as blink wrong.â Afterâs response is a flick of her knife.
âLet Frost and Knight do the talking,â I tell River.
âOkay. Killer you and Snake can go to Seattle see if Gabriel DeMarco is going to be a long time issue. I suggest you meet with Marco too,â River says.
"And the bounty?" Texas asks.
"We keep Natasha here for now. Marcus wants his daughter safe. Once the shits settled we hand her back to him."
The meeting carries on and we discuss the pandemic that started affecting certain parts of the country and the entire world.
I tune them out as my mind recalls all the recent conversations Iâve had. If Sienna is here now looking for Diamond, surely she must know that Diamond is back from the secure location she was stuck in. Why didnât Sienna just go to her? I never thought about that, unless it wasnât Diamond she was looking for. I knew I needed to talk to her and find out what was going on.
Once the meeting is wrapped up, I go straight to Siennaâs room. I knock and surprise hits me when Natasha opens the door. Itâs almost 10 at night.
Her back goes ramrod straight, and she looks at me in equal parts shock and something else I donât want to decipher.
Her blue hair is shorter than the last time we met. Her face is bruised, with swelling on her left jaw. Iâm a firm believer that most of the time we are responsible for what happens to us.
âWho is it?â Sienna asks in that strong high deep note voice sheâs always had.
âItâs Killer,â Natasha says as she takes a step aside to let me in. The room looks good. It was one of the 5 left after we extended the Clubhouse. The next two bedrooms on the right were After and Mercyâs and the one on the left was empty.
Sienna didnât know this, but the Club made an informed decision to install cameras inside the bedroom. One by the kidâs cot and two on either side of the bedroom corners. It wasnât for spying, but more to protect her. I had a feeling the DeMarcoâs would not play nice with securing the child.
Sienna is on the bed, covered partially with a sheet. Her attention is on Kaleb, who lying next to her, kicking his tiny feet. The kid is already showing signs of being a busybody. I walk in and take a seat by her feet, ignoring the woman standing behind me.
âHowâs the pain? Hannah said she gave you something to assist?â I noticed the pills still sitting on the bedside the moment I walked in. Which means she hasnât taken it.
She puts her lips together, looking uncomfortable, which I find odd.
âItâs fine,â She mumbles playing with Kalebâs feet.
I take a deep breath and tilt my head, âNatasha, excuse Sienna and I for a moment.â
âAh..â
âNo, sheâs alright where she is,â Sienna responds.
âGet out,â My voice comes out harsh and Natasha jumps and flees, which always worked on her when she was a kid. Victoria and she would climb the trees, spying on Jace and me to get extra pocket money from David.
Natasha closes the door, and Sienna glares at me.
âThat was awfully harsh, donât you think?â She asks, but it isnât really a question, itâs more of an observation. A correct one.
âI want to know what the fuck is going on with you, and before you tell me nothing, I saw your letter and I read it. So the kid is Gabrielâs and I take it since he is in prison and you went ace out to play knight and shining fucking armour pregnant and alone, thereâs bad blood there. SO you better start talking.â
She drops her eyes and stares at Kaleb. He changes by the hour, but I donât see his dad in him.
âHe went to prison, and his father decided he wasnât happy with a half-blooded Grandchild from their future boss, so I got the fuck out of there.â So they donât want the kid? I wonder at the accuracy of that statement.
I knew when Vincent was 10 his mother insisted he be a vital part of the Famiglia. And a made-man was what he became, only to meet an early death by a Texan Belle with a gun. My sister shot my brother in the heart, 3 times.
My brother was many things, but a full Italian wasnât one of them. What my father ever thought when he decided to stick his dick there was beyond me. It seemed like his past mistakes really were falling on his children. Our family was too intertwined with the Catelli Famiglia, and we needed to change that. And whether or not I ADMITTED it, Sienna was part and parcel of that family.
âWas this before or after they found out you killed his brother and Uncle?â
âWell, that part they found out a few weeks ago, and it wasnât only me, so if you think Marco is going to want revenge think again,â She says keeping her gaze on her kid. And that surprises me. Because why the fuck would Marco be involved with taking out his own people? He was already the Capo Dei Capi. Unless there was someone else who was involved.
I look up at her, and she looks at me for a moment and I see the unspoken words. Deciding to drop that part for now, I focus on the matter at hand.
âSo were you going to tell us?â I have to ask the question.
âNo, I was going to leave and get my kid out of America,â Siennaâs honesty has always been something I had a hard time believing, sheâs a fantastic liar. But I believe her. After finding the passport in her backpack, she left in the car it would be silly not to.
âSo basically you were going to run away?â
âWell, not just yet. I need to find Diamond first, sheâs in danger. Killing them doesnât solve the problem she made with the Bratva, when she martyred herself to save your brother. But I am sure you already know that. So she will join me.â
âBecause of the file?â Sheâs been a delight at answering my questions so far, so I give it a shot.
âThe file?â Her face is blank.
âSurely you know what I am talking about. The document that has all the identities of the special-Forces and their operations. And the list of Team 5,â
I know I am lying it on thick, and cajoling her answers out of her is not off the table.
She smiles, and it is a very calm one, considering I JUST asked about the one thing many men would kill to have.
âYou think I want to find Diamond because she has a file with that info?â She laughs and shakes her head.
âIt isnât a file that has that information, Killer,â She informs me as she wraps Kaleb in her blanket.

ï¤Chapter 21 (Killer)
âWhat are you talking about?â Iâm genuinely curious what she knows. This implicates many people. Dangerous people who would kill her and Diamond.
âDo you honestly think the Frankfurts were stupid enough to keep a file?â
âIf it isnât a file then what is it?â
She smiles, and it isnât a good one as her light green eyes hold my mind at a standstill.
âLike I would tell you?â Her face is unbelieving, as if she thinks I am crazy.
âI was hoping so, since your life depends on it,â My hand goes to the chain dangling from my leather pants.
âIf you think I fear dying, well, you are more stupid than I initially thought. If thatâs all you can leave.â
âActually it is not,â I carry on, âNatasha is hiding something, we need to get it out of her. So heal up crazy girl and find out what she isnât telling us because if the Chainsaw MC comes after her, itâs going to affect you as much as us.â I look at Kaleb to get my message across, and although she says nothing. The slight tick in her jaw says more than her words would. Natasha didnât mention everything to Sienna either.
âIâm done now, sleep tight.â I walk out and find Natasha in the passage, and she says nothing, but I know she was listening in.
