Chapter 7
"Joey! Fucking packet this..." Bodie said handing him a tube filled with their newest batch of shit.
"Alright, fucking chill...I'm doing it..." Joe replied carefully tipping the contents into the clear plastic bag "Doug grab me some more fucking bags..."
Nodding Doug's hurried into the storage room, within seconds he was back out and placing them on the table just in front of where Joe was standing – when Billy weren't around, Joe and Bodie were in complete fucking control.
Bodie paused from packing the shit into the duffel and looked up at him "I'm sorry dog, did you just tell me to fucking chill? We are literally short fucking handed and Billy's gonna be here any minute..."
Joe nodded "How you think they did?" He asked curiously, mid week apart from the weekends was their busiest for selling shit and Billy had his whole gang apart from Joe, Bodie and Doug out on the streets the night before.
Bodie smirked "From what I heard from Heco...we hit the fucking jackpot..."
Smirking Joe nodded – at least they were good at fucking something "Hey, you got any idea how Jess is? Haven't heard from her in a while..." Extending his hand he held out the newly packed shit for Bodie to take.
Pulling his eyebrows together he passed him a rather concerned look as he reached forward and grabbed the remaining packets "No dog I ain't...neither have any of the other boys..."
"Shouldn't we go and look for her? Kinda fucked up what happened to her..." Doug interrupted glancing between them.
Both Joe's and Bodies heads swiped round "No dog, we don't go look for her unless Billy tells us to... he is the only one that makes decisions regarding that girl..." Seeing Doug about to come back at that, Bodie sneered "You may have a hard on for her but don't even fucking think bout it..."
Huffing Joe pushed his hand through his hair "Shit we should tell Billy though dude..."
"He ain't said shit on the matter so the boys are keeping fucking quiet, if you get what I mean dog..." Bodie replied; they were very well aware that if Billy wanted to chat bout something – he'd be the one to bring it up, not the other way round. Zipping up the duffel, he handed it to Joe in the moment of the entrance door to the hospital slamming shut.
"I get it, trust me...but if something fucking happens to her..." Joe started but instantly stopped hearing his older brother's footsteps nearing the main room.
"So I'm guessing the boys will be on the corners all day...best get this new shit to them..." Bodie suddenly chipped in, in the moment of Billy entering the room and heading in their direction.
Seeing the duffel packed and ready to go, Billy smirked and clapped his hands together whilst holding his cigarette securely between his index and middle finger "Well I'm impressed – all fucking bagged and ready for the boys to sell... well fucking done!"
Joe smirked at being praised "You want us to go now?"
Billy sneered "No time like the fucking present... You and Doug go with Bodie..."
"What you gonna do?" His younger brother asked curiously.
"Last time I checked that ain't your fucking business but seems as your being extra fucking nosy this afternoon, going to see dear old fucking dad...called me this morning said he's got some shit that needs delivering..." Billy replied drawing on his cigarette.
"I can help..." Joe simply said; he wasn't officially one of them but he wanted to be – so fucking badly.
Blowing out the smoke Billy shook his head "Be good for you to learn what happens on the fucking streets..."
Feeling his phone vibrating inside his jacket, Billy opened it up and pulled it out – holding it to his ear...
"Fuck you want?" He asked, his tone suddenly becoming angered.
"Dude, you gotta fucking tell him..." Joe whispered looking over at Bodie whilst Billy was distracted on the phone.
Clenching his jaw, Bodie huffed "Fine but if he shoots me dog – I'm haunting your fucking ass!"
By the look on his face, that was another bad fucking call for Billy – closing his phone, he took a long drag.
"Yo dog..." Bodie said stepping forward catching his attention "Can I have a word?"
Nodding Billy followed him across the room, stopping when he paused just before the exit to the stairs "What?" Seeing the worried expression covering his face, Billy's face hardened "Fuck is going on?"
Taking a deep breath, Bodie looked at him "Not to put more shit on you dog but no one's heard from or seen Jess in days..."
His hard glare remained... damn fucking right he hadn't spoken to her since their fight, she should know better but that didn't mean he hadn't thought about her...always resisting the fucking urge to go and see her... He assumed she'd stay in contact with the gang, even if things between them were tense... Pulling his eyebrows together he passed Bodie a questionable look "Not even fucking Jodie or Dana?"
Bodies shook his head "Baggy said Jodie's real worried dog, not like Jess to cut herself off..."
"Fucking women!" Billy cursed dropping his cigarette to the ground "Alright, you go get Joey and Doug on the street – sell that shit... I guess I'll go and fucking find her..." With that he turned and headed out of the hospital... How fucking dare she worry him like this? She knew better than to go completely off the fucking grid... he could just imagine all the things he was going to say to her...but he had to fucking find her first...
Screeching the Mustang to an instant stop, Billy pulled the keys from the ignition and climbed out the passenger side. Slamming the door shut he hurried across the lot, approaching the Four Roses – He'd been searching for her for the past hour and a fucking half and now his concern and frustration were getting the better of him. On instinct he first went to her apartment to find fuck all...knowing the way Jess reacts in certain ways, he thought she might return to the corner where she was attacked – basically saying fuck you to anybody that might think it rattled her...searching that side of town along with the diner she preferred to eat at, he was still coming up fucking empty handed...
Four Roses was the final place he could think of, if she weren't there then he'd have no other choice but to fucking get the boys looking for her...no matter how pissed he was - not knowing where the hell she was, was hurting him – the one feeling he generally despised...the one feeling that only the people closest could pull that emotion from him... Jess & Joey...
Pulling open the door, he walked in instantly be greeted by Jay – the current controller of the bar; hired by the one and only Billy Darley himself "Alright Billy..." He said passing him a subtle nod.
Billy nodded stepping closer to the bar "Seen Jess?"
Jay nodded, tilting his head in the direction of the back. Billy smirked – at least she was fucking safe. Casually he turned and walked to the back of the bar, growing closer he caught her at the pool table – playing solo... Three days without any contact with her and she looked even more fucking amazing – obviously still healing she wore a tight pair of denim boot cut jeans, a casual tight fitting black strap top and a loose-fitting hooded jacket. Almost instantly he could feel his anger kick in watching one of the local prick's starting to try it on with her...in his bar of all places?
"C'mon Jess...it's a fair deal – you miss that shot, we get outta here..." The guy smirked leaning against the table next to her
Jess smirked "Lucky me...I don't miss..." She replied eyeing the ball – focusing more on successfully potting than the idiot attempting to get her into bed.
"We'll see..." He teased watching her bend over the table; attempting to get a better position "Shit Jess, you're looking so fucking fine right now...I could just imagine me behind that ass..."
Distracting her, Jess remained bent over the table but glanced up at him "You mind doing me a favour?"
His eyes widened "Anything for you..."
Jess's face hardened "Fuck off, you're not only distracting but fucking annoying..."
Pushing the cue slowly through her thumb and index finger; about to make her shot she felt his hands roughly land on her ass whilst pushing her against the wood – feeling her rib twist she cursed instantly gripping her side.
Watching the whole fucking thing, Billy growled – walking straight for the motherfucker. Jess was the first to see him followed by the guy who quickly took a cautious step back away from her. "Billy! I'm..." He was about to apologise when Billy lunged for him, wrapping his hand round the back of his neck; used all of his force to push him down and smash his head down on the table just next to where Jess was standing "You should know..." Billy started lifting his head back up only to smash it back down again "Fucking better..." Huffing he shoved him to the ground, the guy had literally pissed himself; clutching his head, he groaned in pain whilst blood flowed freely from the bridge of his nose.
"Get the fuck out!" Billy shouted his eyes glaring down at him "I catch you in here again; I'll blow your fucking head off..."
Nodding the guy wasted no time in pulling himself to his feet and literally sprinting out of the bar. Feeling the anger start to subside, Billy snorted – turning his head he looked at Jess who remained exactly where she was before; her alluring blue eyes just looking up at him "Looked for you fucking everywhere..." Billy said taking a step closer to her.
Jess nodded, a saddened smirk appearing "I didn't know if you'd even bother looking..."
Huffing he clenched his jaw, glancing over her shoulder he caught the eye of some of the punters that were drinking "Get out! All of you!" His voice echoing across the bar; he watched everyone including Jay make one hell of a quick exit.
"What it is to be king huh?" Jess asked suddenly hearing nothing but the music that was playing quietly...
Dropping his eyes he looked down at her, no matter how hard he tried he could never be angry at her for long; closing the gap between them he leaned forward about to kiss her when she did something that surprised him...she pulled back.
"Billy..." The tears instantly gathering as she shook her head.
No really wasn't a word Billy listened to, ignoring her futile attempt at pushing him away – he tried again but felt her hands on his chest holding him back.
"Billy I can't...your fucking done with me remember?"
Billy smirked, the girl had guts refusing him like she was but he wasn't one to give up. Undoubtedly about to surprise not only her but himself to, he lifted his finger and wiped the tear that had just fallen across her cut away; he swore he heard her quietly gasp at how gentle he was "Jess I think we both know that I could never be fucking done with you...not fucking ever..." Seeing the corner of her lip rise, he nodded – smirking he wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him – leaning down he didn't give her a chance to dispute; his lips instantly crashing down on hers. This time she kissed him back wrapping her arms up and around his shoulders, feeling the excitement build, his grip on her tightened to suddenly hear her flinch...taking an instant step back he looked down at her "Show me..." He demanded knowing exactly what was hurting after Baggy's long fucking report on what happened that night.
Nodding Jess grabbed the rim of her strap top; she pulled it up and over her ribs allowing his eyes to see the extent of what she was flinching about..."Fuck..." He cursed seeing how bruised and swollen it was...Clenching his jaw the excitement was swiftly being replaced with anger – seeing that look in her eye, the one where she clearly couldn't handle another fight; couldn't watch him lose his shit with her again..."You wanna get out of here?"
Taken aback Jess just smiled, nodding she grabbed her leather jacket from the side "You know I'll go anywhere with you..."
