Chapter 6

"And I'm the last person your ever gonna fucking see again!" Jess growled clicking the safety off of her gun "Say goodnight Bones Fucking Darley..." With that she didn't hesitate, pulling the trigger back she fired...


Bones was still – for once his face screwed up in uncertainty; he no longer felt safe in that moment. He'd heard the shot and thought this was fucking it but when the echo had calmed and the ringing in his ears had stopped; he realised he was still alive and that she'd aimed just next to his head...There was silence. His heart pounding loudly in his chest, slowly he lifted his dark eyes and looked at Jess through his thick framed glasses who remained just where she was; her gun still pointing at him – her eyes looking fiercely down at him. He'd only ever seen her this angry once before and the guy she was gunning for ended up being completely fucked – no matter how good she looked on the outside; like butter wouldn't fucking melt – when she wanted to be Jess could be just as ferocious as Billy...

But Bones was Bones, he was Bones Darley; no way would he stand for such an outburst. Standing from the chair, he threateningly leant across the desk towards her "Fuck you think you're doing?" His deep voice yelled – bellowing across the room "Coming in here like this? You're fucking lucky I don't put a bullet in that fucking skull of yours!"

Jess just sneered – She knew if Bones was going to kill her, he'd have done it already; in the moment of her shooting up his precious workshop "Funny, seems as I'm still aiming for yours!"

Bones exhaled deeply, the temptation to pick his piece up and obliterate her was just too fucking strong right now but he knew Billy would never forgive him, hell the little prick would kick up such a shit storm; evoke war wherever he could find...in theory he'd do just about whatever he possibly could to fuck him up royally for taking her away from him...Bones didn't think he had the will or even the patience for that. Yes Billy would undeniably do that but that's only if he was able to survive the shit storm that he'd recently brought upon himself.

Bones nodded but Jess weren't backing down for shit, she was going to get the message across; huffing he slouched himself back down on his chair "Fuck's got you so riled up for?"

Jess cocked her eyebrow up "Are you serious?" She asked through gritted teeth "You're the reason you voracious fat insensitive prick...why else would I fucking be here?"

If looks could kill both Bones and Jess would be rivalling each other, leaning forward he pointed his finger at her – shunting it in her direction "You fucking listen here Jess, you talk to me like that again and I'll fucking drag your ass into the back myself and solder those pretty lips of yours together...got it?"

Jess smirked taking a step forward "Is that before or after I shoot you between the fucking eyes...no I'm not bluffing...and no that roll of fat you got going on there is not going to be your fucking saving grace..." She was vicious, standing up to him in ways that no one had ever dared to; she was fighting back and fighting hard.

"Fuck is your fucking problem?" Bones screamed – he was furious, in his mind he was breaking every bone in that pretty little face of hers but she had leverage he didn't, she still had her gun and her eyes told him she weren't fucking about...she would really do what she was threatening to...

"You are my fucking problem Bones, the way you are, the way you fucking act...like you really couldn't fucking care less that someone had stuck Joey..."

"How the fuck would you know what I feel bout that? You don't fucking know me!"

"But I do Bones, I been around for eight fucking years...watched you beat them boys, terrorise them, attempt to teach them the Darley ropes in the harshest fucking way...and I know you're NOT feeling like a father should because you've done fucking nothing..." Feeling so much hatred for the piece of shit in front of her, Jess had to pause and take a breath – just looking at him made her skin crawl...he was about to come back at her but she stopped him, she was nowhere near fucking finished "Billy's your son to, How the fuck do you think he's doing? Now Joey's gone, he's lost his whole fucking family and you ain't lifted a finger...not that I expect anything more really, you were never a fucking father to him..."

Bones growled "Gun or not, I will shut that fucking mouth of yours...Don't fucking tell me what I feel for my boys, you have no fucking clue...how could you? Your daddy never cared, just touched you too many times until you finally snapped and fucking plunged a knife in his chest..."

Jess's adrenaline started pumping harder than before, keeping the gun raised she had no doubt that she was white knuckling the grip. She couldn't think of anything better than watching the life slowly drain out of the motherfucker...he'd just pressed the final fucking button.

"And while we're on the fucking subject, how d'u know I didn't fucking do anything? Last time I checked you ditched my boys, left them for the better fucking life..."

"It's bullshit..." Shaking her head she glared at him "It's all fucking bullshit...you're to fucking lazy to do anything, Billy was the one to pick up the pieces...Billy was the one that went and did something!"

Bones shook his head "Yeah and look what it fucking got him...three rich faggots dead and one now gunning for his sorry fucking ass...great fucking plan if ya ask me!"

Jess fell silent, letting his words settle in "Wait...what, he said he killed them all?"

Sneering Bones now had the upper hand "You fucking deaf? Billy 'thinks' he killed them all...all but one...the dad, the halfwit didn't finish the job now he wants blood and he's out to fucking get it..."

Suddenly her stomach kicked up and that sickening feeling of worry reappeared "But that don't make no fucking sense, how the fuck is he alive? You must have got it wrong...that's what your good at right?"

"If I'm fucking wrong which I seriously doubt then why'd a guy just buy a shit load of guns from me...saying nothing but the fact that he was after Billy once I'd confronted him bout it...?"

Then it hit her... "Fuck!" She cursed, her already enraged eyes instantly lifting to see some random guy standing there – just gawking at her "Fucking watch where you're walking!" She growled through gritted teeth.

"Sorry..." The guy muttered in response – his shifty eyes scanning her from top to bottom, he was average but the look in his eye told her that he was dodgy and always getting into trouble...his face bruised and battered – his lip split; the sports cap he wore covering one hell of a head wound. Glancing down Jess noticed the bags he was carrying – one chocked full of some serious hardware; this guy either had some serious beef with someone or he was just upping his home security... Feeling the panic settle in and her heart start to race, Jess lowered the gun so she could quickly grab her cell from her pocket "Fuck, Fuck, Fuck..." She cursed repeatedly – Billy thought the prick was dead, he had no idea he was gunning for him; hitting speed dial she called him... no answer "Shit!" She shouted angrily, ending the call she tried a second time... no answer "Fuck!"

Bones just watched her curiously, it was both surprising and amusing watching her worry about him like this; but then she turned back on him – raising the gun back up in his direction "Fuck is he? He was covering for Heco tonight, where will he be?"

Bones shrugged "Fuck if I know...I'm not his fucking keeper..."

Jess growled "See, this is what I'm fucking talking about...you say you care but you fucking don't. Otherwise you woulda shot that fucking prick...he's your fucking son Bones!"

Getting tired of her yelling at him, Bones huffed – almost in defeat "Lord knows I've been patient..." He grunted.

Letting her breath hiss out of her nose, Jess pulled her eyebrows together – she'd never had so many fucking emotions ricocheting through her "Lord knows he's been fucking patient to, with your constant beatings and orders all throughout his fucking life... I'm honestly surprised he never blew you the fuck away in your sleep...Now. Where. The. Fuck. Is. he?"

Bones groaned at her persistence but in some way she was right, not that he'd ever tell her or Billy for that matter; he'd die before ever admitting that he was wrong, that he made a right fucking mess with the boys – glancing over at the clock he looked at her "Bout this time, he'll be under the pass...I'll head there on my way home..." He paused watching her flex her jaw "You really think I'd want the prick to kill him?"

Jess scoffed "Honestly I think you couldn't give a shit bout anything..." Pausing she growled taking another step closer to him "Go see him now..."

"What?" He asked through gritted teeth, surprised that she even had the cheek to fucking boss him around of all fucking people.

"Fuck doing it on your way home Bones – this isn't a fucking social visit, get up off your fat lazy ass and go see your son!"

Thumping his fist down on the wood, Bones glared at her "You watch your fucking tone Jess! I won't tell ya again!"

She'd just about heard enough, clicking the safety off she pulled the trigger a fourth time; firing at the shutter blinds behind him. With her standing much closer the shot undeniably echoed but it was so much fucking louder than before; this making him jump "NOW!" She screamed thrusting the gun towards him.

"Fuck! Your one crazy bitch..." He retorted; cautiously he stood from the chair grabbing his piece from the desk "Maybe that's why I like ya...Maybe that's why I haven't killed ya yet...you remember that"

Certain that he was on his way to find Billy, Jess turned on her heel and hurried for the exit "Fuck you gonna do?" She heard Bones shout.

"Head over to the Four Roses, warn the guys..." She replied; loud enough for him to hear.

"If they know what's good for em, they'll be at the hospital cooking my shit..."

Jess just shook her head, same old Bones fucking Darley – she would have loved to put a bullet in him but suddenly there were more important things at risk "Then that's my next stop!" Pushing open the workshop door – she didn't walk; she sprinted for her Mustang that was patiently waiting for her...


Approaching the hospital, Jess took her foot of the gas – almost creeping past the entry gate that had been rammed right off of its hinges; her eyes widened at the destruction ahead of her. She'd literally floored it all the way to the Four Roses to find no-one, then continued onto the hospital at any even higher fucking speed; she was shocked at how quick the shit had literally hit the fan... "Fuck..." She cursed feeling her heart start to pound in her chest; pulling up behind Bone's Cadillac she slipped the car into park. Grabbing her keys from the ignition, she opened the driver's door and cautiously got out; her eyes scanning the area in front.

What caught her attention first was the white van they used to transport their shit from time to time, split completely in two...clenching her jaw she noticed Heco's ride sitting at the foot of the stairs leading up into the hospital – the front clearly churning out steam; it didn't take a genius to work out what the fuck had happened. Looking to the right she caught sight of Billy's Mustang, parked just off to the side – she'd found him but not where she hoped he would be. Her attention was instantly pulled to the building hearing gun shots echoing inside, she wasn't going to lie she felt fear – a lot of it but that was her family in there; she wasn't about to abandon them. Leaning back into her car she grabbed her .45 from the dash, straightening up she pressed the catch; releasing the magazine to check that she had enough rounds. Satisfied that she did she slipped the magazine back in, closing the driver's door she turned and stealthily made her way to the hospital entrance.

Nearing the front of the van, Jess noticed blood sprayed across the driver's window; narrowing her gaze she recognised the driver as Spink – clearly dead from the impact. Flexing her jaw she turned and hurried past Heco's car – glancing quickly in to see if anyone was still in the vehicle, there wasn't so she continued up to the entrance...about to pull open the door something caught her sight to the left.

Stepping back and to the side of the stairs, her eyes found another body lying just to the side of the building; with the night being a disadvantage she was unable to quite make out who it was – looking up she put two and two together seeing a window smashed outwards up on the fifth floor, the same floor they cooked their shit. More gun shots echoed, making Jess jump – she'd be lying if she said she wasn't shaking from the adrenaline and anxiety she was feeling. But Billy was undeniably inside and she refused to lose him to, he came for her in a time when she needed him more than anything...nothing was going to stop her from doing the same.

Quickly swiping round she grabbed the handle and pulled the old door open, hurrying inside she cautiously climbed the stairs into what she assumed used to be a reception room – Now it was just a room, empty and covered in nothing but graffiti –the lights as always on the ground floor just flickering on and off constantly – this tonight especially made the white painted skulls on the side wall even more daunting; once upon a time Jess had helped the boys design it but now all she saw was another bad omen – a sign that made her chest tighten that much more.

Keeping her gun gripped tight in her right hand she carefully and quietly ascended another flight of stairs that would lead her directly up to the main room, reaching the fifth floor she cautiously moved through the rooms that lead into the main – she'd heard commotion on the floors above her and was moving quickly towards it. The smell hit her first then her eyes found Dog – the newest member of the gang, gasping she reached up and covered her mouth and nose with her left hand as she slowly approached the state that was him: his leg had been blown completely off – raw muscle just hanging limply from the bone that had survived the impact, a violent hole in the chest that only a 12 gauge double barrel shotgun could have done...drug and gun running for all those years didn't make her a know it all expert but she certainly wasn't a novice.

Stepping past the body Jess forced herself to move on, the fear growing – one average man had caused all this devastation and she was fucking terrified of what she may or may not find around the corner. Rounding the corner her eyes all the time scanning for threats, walked into the main room; there was shit everywhere. She could feel it beneath the soles of her boots, shell casings and shattered glass – covering the entire ground. Moving through the centre to the exit on the other side that would take her to the next floor up, she was careful – stepping over the liquids and acids that had exploded across the floor, the boys used them in their concoctions, some were harmless – others not so much.

Then she heard it, gun shots echoing above her – a lot more than she'd heard before; looking to the ceiling she listened...her heart violently racing when they finally stopped and she swore she heard him, a cry of pain that sent an almighty adrenaline rush through her...her whole plan of being safe went out the fucking window when she'd heard such a noise coming from the man she loves – she wasn't walking anymore, she was running...rounding the corner she hurried for the stairs at the far end of the next room. So focused on getting to the top, she almost tripped over the body that lay in the middle of the room...pausing she looked down...Jamie – his stomach blown completely out onto the wall that at one point was positioned behind him, feeling the tears appear she forced herself to retract them; she could not be distracted by sadness, no matter how bad she was feeling it – that would only slow her down. Clenching her jaw tight, she stepped around him and hurried for the stairwell; the stairwell that would lead her to Billy...


Putting one foot cautiously in front of the other she kept her back tight to the wall as she crept up the darkened stairwell; she was silent – her heart beating violently in her chest. This place had always been dark, fucking terrifying for those that didn't know it like the back of their hand; keeping her eyes fixed on the light up ahead – she tried her fucking best not to let her concentration slip on the destruction around her.

Fear...an emotion - to be afraid, anxious, apprehensive about a possible or probable situation except she had no intuition of what she was about to find. She could feel it, the fear of not knowing fucking ricocheting right through her but she had to keep going...nearing the top of the stairwell her grip tightened on the .45 she was literally clutching at in her right hand.

Narrowing her gaze, she noticed that the door leading into the room on the top floor had been left freely open 'Thank fuck for that...' She thought to herself, additional and unneeded noise through the sudden silence would surely give her presence away. Controlling her breathing she skilfully crept into the room...empty...always having her guard up her eyes landed on the familiar drapes that hung untidily across the other half of the room, using her knowledge of this place to her advantage she moved forward; almost letting a gasp escape her seeing him laying lifelessly on the ground...yet another one of her friend's...Using her left hand, she reached up and covered her mouth – literally holding back the tears that were threatening to fall; she could only assume the worst at this point...what else was she supposed to fucking think? Taking a shaky step forward she paused, her eyes just looking down at the body below her...then shockingly she heard him; that low gravelly voice she'd never forget – never want to fucking forget.

"Look at you...You look like one of us...Look what I made you..." She wasn't a complete fucking idiot, he sounded weak; riddled in pain...she knew the difference. Stepping closer to the drapes that kept her from being seen at this point she heard a second shuffle – obviously the prick that had killed her whole fucking family...then what sounded like the safety of a gun being clicked off...Literally having to stop herself from barging in gun fucking ho, she clenched her jaw tight; carefully she stepped over Bodie –her eyes now fixed on trying to find where he was within the Chapel.

"Ready?" She heard a second voice ask, he to sounded worse for wear.

Now her heart was really picking up the pace, stealthily she peered round the drape; instantly summing the situation up...her eyes first landing on Billy who had his back to her. He was undeniably fucked up along with the prick sitting at a distance next to him but what caught her attention next – was the gun the prick was holding in Billy's direction; aimed right for his skull. His finger already on the trigger, slowly but surely pulling it back so he could blow his head clean off...what was troubling her the most was that Billy was still with his head bowed, he wasn't fighting what was about to happen instead just letting the motherfucker do it.

Feeling the adrenaline pump right through her she grabbed the drape at her side, pulling it open she stepped completely into the chapel...her .45 now aimed at the son of a bitch's head except now having made noise both heads swiped round in her direction...

Even through all of the agony he was feeling, it didn't stop him from recognising the person that stood across the room from them "Jess..." He simply said; almost breathless - obviously surprised at her sudden appearance.

"You..." Nick Hume said completely shocked – one hand tightly gripped onto the side of his neck; the other still pointing a gun in Billy's direction...except now his grip wasn't so set on Billy being that yet another gun was being pointed in his direction...the question was who was a faster shot?

"Me..." Within seconds a single gunshot echoed across the room...


So how do you like my circle of events? Am I evil for leaving you hanging yet again? HAHA...I can only imagine what some of my loyal readers may be thinking at this point...

Okay so i know you guys thought she'd shot Bones but HAHA I didn't have her do that...I had him admitting that he fucked up because in the film - he says what he does to Billy, something must have made him say that? *Wink Wink* Jess's words getting under his skin...
