Chapter 4

"Will you stop moving I'm trying to finish you off!" She shouts at me, even her voice sounds tough.

The innocent rich girl I meet back at the diner table was definitely not the gorgeous tough Eagles gang member standing in front of me. She looked like she came straight out of the hood only she hadn't, she's rich for crying out loud.

"Whatcha doing here Ella?" I ask her as I avoid another kick my way.

Her eyes go wide and she quickly turns her head side to side as if to make sure no one heard. She quickly recovers from her moment of fear and throws her hand over my mouth to stop any further comment. I lock eyes with this beautiful girl and I instantly know that no one know's who she really is outside of the gang.

Her eyes plead me to keep her secret safe and automatically I feel myself nod at her in understanding. Relief washes over her. She regains control of her emotions and mask her emotions. She's a lot more like me than I thought.

A million questions run through my head. I needed a chance to get her to answer them but this was not the place nor time. I mouth 'later' and almost unwillingly she nods back. Her eyes expose fear but in the next second all emotion is gone, again.

Ella runs off into another direction to fight a different Wolf. She trains her eyes on a Wolves girl and runs full force into her knocking her down. I keep fighting the other Eagles careful to avoid Ella. A guy, who I caught watching the little scene with Ella, barrels himself at me.

"What the hell man!" I say as I push against him throwing him to the floor.

I straddle his waist and throw powerful blows into his stomach. God it felt so good to let my anger posses me. Like a release I've been waiting for my whole life.

The guy struggles under my grip and I send more punches his way. He pushes at me in a strange direction and before I know it I'm on the floor under him. His punches are sloppy and badly aimed but they hurt like a son of a bitch especially with my bruised ribs. I know I'm close to passing out.

I try to put all my remaining strength on him to flip us over but I'm too weak by now. I catch Ella's eye from the corner of my vision. For a second I see something powerful reflect in her eyes but she shakes her head and keeps sending blows at her enemy until the girl is out cold.

A feel a huge weight lifted off me. I look back up and see the guy that was on top of me in a head lock. I scramble to my feet and lock eyes with the one person I really didn't want to see right now. Sonya. Her face gives nothing away but I know I'm in deep shit.

I help her finish the guy off and before she jumps to some other guy but not before she shots me the 'talk later' look. Well I was definitely not looking forward to that talk. Sonya resembles my sister too much to the point where getting caught by Sonya is almost as bad as by Max.

After a while The Eagles retreat. The Wolves jump back onto their bikes and head back to HQ to report. Sonya tries to ride along side of me but I can't bare to talk from her here. Besides I don't want Sonya in trouble with The Wolves because of me. I move up and ride in between two guys from my school, Carlos and Jose.

They greet me with a tight nod. I wonder what brought that on. Whatever it is I hope to keep it that way. I do not want to get attached to any of my Wolves hermanos.

As we arrive I spot Lolo at the side of the wear house. I park my bike and walk over to him. He's speaking to two guys. They look deep in conversation but as soon as Lolo catches sight of me they stop talking immediately. Lolo's eyes smile warmly up at me.

Lolo has been my best friend for as long as I can remember. He joined The Wolves three years ago and now just like Sonya was pretty high up too. Lolo was jumped in to The Wolves to replace his brother, Sánchez. Now that I think about it him and I got more in common then we thought.

"Chino" Lolo greets knowing better than to give my name out.

"I heard some rumors going round that you were joining The Wolves. Welcome hermano"

Lolo wasn't stupid and that's why he's managed to get real close to the top in such a short time. He knew saying anything even slightly suspiciously could get our asses in trouble.

"Thanks." I say going for nonchalant.

"Boys could you give us some privacy" Lolo says to the two guys.

"Hermanos don't need privacy and since Chino's one of us now I ain't going no where" One guy says sounding tough.

One look from Lolo's eyes and I can tell he's about to go off on these pendejos but I beat him to it. I needed to earn respect much more than Lolo did.

"Get out" My voice sounds dark and scary and for one second I feel like my sister. All badass and no heart.

The two guys eyes widen a fraction of an inch surprised I even spoke up. After a second they recover.

"I don't think so" The other guy says spitting in my direction.

I ball my hands into fists ready to aim and fire when Chuy's voice cuts me off.

"Puppet,Joker" Chuy barks.

The two guys snap their heads in his direction fear drains them from head to toe. I notice that even Lolo is standing a littler taller and a faint shadow of fear glows on his face.

"I would hope you two are giving warm welcomes to the new guy who's running the Jodi Dessen" He adds his voice filled with fake happiness but also a strong touch of leadership.

I raise a small eye brow Lolo's way. That name sounded familiar I just couldn't place it. I move my eyes to Lolo and notice his eyes are wide and scream something but I don't catch it. Suddenly I remember hearing talk about a huge drug deal that was coming up...Shit! Just my luck. First I'm jumped into The Wolves, then I find out Ella's an Eagle, and now I'm working the Jodi Dessen, the biggest drug deal The Wolves are working on.

The two guys eyes dart back to mine with new-found respect. I give them my best death glare and they shrivel under it.

"Of course, Welcome brother" One of the guys says and they both scramble to another part of the warehouse.

Chuy's eyes meet mine. I stare into the dark eyes of Chuy's holding my own. His lips twitches in amusement but he says nothing. He makes his way back inside.

I turn back to Lolo and damn does he look mad.

"What the fuck have you gotten yourself into!" He whisper shouts and if it's not bad enough Sonya spots me and starts making her way towards me.

Fuck my life.
