I couldn't believe Niks had talked me into having the guys round and watching these videos. As the first one started it was me and Niks. I cringed inwardly and put my head on Don's shoulder, not watching as the first few chords of Pure Shore an All Saints song started to play."God is that you?" I looked up to see what Don was referring to. And there I was in a pair of baggy jeans and a tight low cut vest top. Oh god, I looked like a right state. When that finished they put in one of Niks belting out Rihanna's Umbrella. Danny was loving it. Then on came one with me and Angel. I wanted to turn it off, but I couldn't without making a scene. It was while I had dated Angel. We were singing The Time of My Life. Niks sat forward and her eyes locked on me and Angel. Don already knew as I already told him.
"Oh my god! You were screwing Angel!" She turned to look at me shocked.
"Ah, well I never screwed him. We dated, it ended and I moved on." Don's arm wrapped around my shoulders as if to prove it.
"That's why he's always flirting with you."
"Surprised it took you so long. Hell I'm surprised your ma didn't tell you. Always nagging about me and him getting back together." She floundered for something smart to say. "Niks just leave it, it was a long time ago." She went to say something when Lady Marmalade began to play. Both of us turned silent. The guys were amused at first seeing the pair of us and two other girls skimpily clad. But noting how quiet me and Niks were, they soon turned silent. It was the Lil' Kim version of Lady Marmalade. I'd taken Pink's parts, Niks had taken Christina's, Mya and Lil' Kim's parts were taken by our deceased best friends Freya and Lara respectively. Knight was going down one way or another. I would take that bastard down even if it ended my career with the police. I got up and walked into my room, seething. I stood by my window looking out and thinking if I had only been there for them, if I hadn't decided not to go. I could have saved them. I felt hands on my hips and they slowly wound round holding me. I knew it was Don as I leaned in to him smelling his aftershave.
"I guess they were your friends, the ones Knight killed?" I nodded. "We will get him, not just you and Niks, but me and Danny. We'll help get him. He won't be able to hurt you anymore." I turned in his arms pressing my lips to his. I woke up to Niks pacing. Something had definitely happened."Nika what's happened?" She stopped staring at me then went to her laptop and pressed play. It was a video of her ma, and…Knight slitting her throat. "THAT SON OF A BITCH IS DEAD!"
"He wants me to meet him in the warehouse district at 5pm. No cops, no back up, no famiglia."
"We ain't doing it Niks, no way, that piece a shit is dead. You go he'll kill you…Does Angel know?" She shook her head. "Shall I?" She nodded and sat down her head in her hands. I picked up my cell and rang Angel's number. My hands shaking dreading how he would react.
"Hey bella, you missing me already?"
"Angel…"
"Kaylee, babe what's wrong? Don't you dare tell me Knight got my sorella."
"No Angel, honey, it your mom. Oh god Angel, he…" The phone went dead. I sat down and hugged Niks. 30 minutes later Angel was pounding on the door. I got up and opened it, he barged through like a mad man.
"What did he do? Come ha fatto quel figlio di una cagna uccidere mia mamma?" I wanted to stop Niks playing the video, but she hit play and there it was in glorious HD for Angel to see. He broke down falling to his knees.
"Niks that's enough! Stop it!" I shouted holding Angel to me. "Dathúil, shush. I'm so sorry Angel." He clings to me tightly burying his head in my shoulder to quieten his sobs. Hearing him like this brings tears to my eyes as I rub his back and kiss his head. I'm angry at Niks for showing it him like that, but at the same time. I can't be because this is how Niks deals with things. Eventually Angel calms some and we move to the couch. He lays down resting his head on my knees. I don't want him to get his hopes up for an us, but I just didn't have the heart to tell him to get off.
"You know Lee is dating Don, don't you?" Niks says eyeing her brother.
"So what if she is, I ain't doing any harm. Perché hai sempre avuto modo di essere una cagna?"
"Guys come on don't turn on each other. We need to figure out what we gonna do. Do we do as he says or do we bring in the guys and the Miami crew?"
"Bring us in is exactly what you're going to do." Danny said as he and Don stood in the door way. I didn't want to tell Angel to get off me as it would have looked weird, but Angel got up anyway.
"Don't worry man, bella was just consoling me." He glanced over at me and I smiled giving his hand a squeeze. Don and Danny came into the room proper then. Niks explained what had happened and then we began to plan. At 4.45pm I sat in a van with Angel, Don and Jesse. Danny, Ryan and Calleigh in another. I was glad we'd decided not to bring on Natalya. I never have nor will I ever trust that woman. We'd fitted Niks with a mini cam and mic so we could hear and see what was going on. She walks in and it all goes a bit fuzzy. We can't really see, but the mic definitely isn't working.
"Wolfe, why the heck is the mic not working?" I hiss through the radio.
"Lee, I don't know what to tell ya, it just isn't. I'm trying to get it back on. Shit!" I look at the monitor and the picture has come back. Niks is fighting with Knight.
"Lake, why is nobody moving?" Danny shouts through the radio.
"Cos if we go in, Niks will shoot one of us. I like living and if she needs help, we'll go."
"Lee you sure?" Don looks at me worried. I nod.
"Kaylee's right, my sister don't need nor want help." Angel adds. With a massive karate kick to his head she takes him down. I clap.
"That's my girl." But then suddenly she's falling forward. I yank open the door Don and Jesse climbing out Angel trying to come too. "Angel, Dathúil please stay here. If this is a set up you gotta get us outta there alive. And I can't have you in there in case you get hurt more. Just, please stay Angel." He locks his eyes on mine and slowly nods. I lean in and kiss his cheek. "Thank you." Then I take off inside the warehouse. I can't see the others there's no one about. Where the fuck are they? I sense movement behind me and turn gun drawn, but they're to close and steel connects with my head taking me down.
