Chibs eased Nina to her feet and pulled her body against his. She murmured contently at his touch, he felt so natural against her she instinctively turned to hold him. He smiled and turned her back as he put his arm around her waist to support her.

"I'm going to be holding a gun. You have to know that I won't use it, okay?"

Nina could feel tears creeping into her eyes as fear flooded her but she finally nodded as her fingers toyed with the crucifix on her neck nervously. Tig and Happy were speaking in whispers by the door and they both looked up to signal they were ready.

"You can do this," Chibs assured her. "Just... just look scared." He kissed the back of her head and gave her a push as Tig dragged the door back.

It was all happening so fast, Nina couldn't help but sob and shake as she was marched roughly out to the main floor. Happy grinned cheerfully as he waved his gun around at the girls on the stage, it was still early in the afternoon and the place was relatively quiet.

Piggy bound to his feet and Happy aimed at him instantly. Piggy froze, his eyeballs huge as he stared at him.

"Jesus, what the fuck?"

"Get the girls out," Happy growled through gritted teeth. "Punters too."

Chibs unlatched the safety for effect on his gun, he felt Nina tensing in his hold as the metal clips ground together. "This one's coming with me."

"That ain't so easy," Piggy said as the few clients in the room slipped out. The women stayed still, the dancers and waitresses, knowing full well they weren't allowed to leave. "She's got a debt to pay."

"Consider it paid then," Tig muttered. "She's out."

Piggy scowled at Tig, annoyed that he had been crossed. "After Danny was so fuckin' nice to you? Piece of shit." He went to launch at Tig but Happy stepped in front of him, simply pushing his gun to Piggy's head. Piggy paused, rolling his jaw, and looked to the barmaid. "Go get Danny."

"The girls go outside," Tig repeated but Piggy shook his head.

"They're all buzzed, last thing I need is a bunch of dead hookers outside my establishment. They stay."

Happy turned quickly as he heard footsteps. Chibs growled, wrapping his forearm against Nina's neck as he shifted his aim to Danny as he walked into the room. He looked around at the situation, at the nervous dancers huddled together by the stage.

"What a mess you've caused, Nina," he said dismissively, frowning at her with disappointment. He looked at Chibs with a chuckle, he had that same gentlemanly manner, like Ethan Zobelle, and it made Chibs' skin crawl. "I'm afraid you cannot take her."

"They want the other girls out," Piggy muttered. Danny frowned and looked around. He paced over to a couple of them and pinched one's cheeks in his hands.

"You stand outside, and you do not move," he said coldly as he looked over them. Without warning, he pulled out his gun and shot Piggy in the back of the head. The little wiry man crumpled into a heap as the women screamed. "Otherwise you're next, understood?"

They hurried outside and Danny held his gun loosely in his hands. He was outnumbered, for now, with two armed Sons and one all but ready to kill him with his bare hands. He looked at Tig for a long moment.

"I could tell you were obsessive."

"She's not a hooker, man, she's a good girl," Tig said firmly. "Drugging her, making her do this shit? It's not right."

"She owes me money," Danny said calmly. He looked at Chibs. "Six hundred k to clear."

"You can have it, once I get her home," Chibs said instinctively, there was no way he had that kind of cash but he'd be damned if he didn't find it. Danny laughed.

"What? Cheque's in the mail the second you leave, right?" He chuckled. "I need a little more security than that."

As he said it, four guards walked into the room, armed with AKs. Tig groaned and shot a look at Happy, he hadn't factored for that. Danny smiled as he looked at them.

"Put your weapons down. I'm feeling remarkably trigger-happy."

Happy nodded to Chibs as he lowered his hand gun and put it on the floor. Chibs hesitated but Tig gave him a look, they didn't have many options here.

"Now now, Nina."

Danny sauntered over to Chibs and grabbed Nina roughly. He held her by her hair as he dragged her away from Chibs' hold. Chibs snarled and tried to grab at her but one of the guards gave him a shove away. Danny pulled Nina close to him, his teeth at her neck as he pushed his hands into the side of her underwear, making a show of it with a smirk.

"Do they all like to watch?" he asked, glancing quickly at Tig. "Little whore, I knew you fucked around in that backward little town but all of these, huh? She likes to make strategic little friends," he added with a chuckle. "Makes you fall for her big time."

"Let go of her," Chibs muttered furiously. "You want to settle this? Be a man about it."

"A man?" Danny laughed. "I'm the one with the automatics, I'm the one who'll win."

"You want a fight? Do it properly," Happy suggested. "No weapons." Danny grinned.

"I could do with a laugh," he smiled, stepping up onto the stage and pulling Nina up with him. "Drop them and go."

The security guards didn't even hesitate, they put their guns down and charged full throttle at the Sons. Happy was straight into the fight, fists blazing as he pummelled one of them back against the bar. Chibs slammed the second into the wall and leapt on his back in fury, dragging him to the floor within seconds and slamming his head into the wooden boards repeatedly.

Nina looked at them, scrabbling and fighting like wild animals, her eyes full of dread. Danny laughed and stroked her hair.

"Silly little girl, look what you've done," he said. "All three of them'll be dead when I say the word, and it's your fault."

She looked up at him, her eyes welling up. "Danny, I'm sorry," she pleaded. She turned into him, trying to calm him, fiddling with the buttons on his shirt. "I'll stay, I swear, please don't hurt them."

"All these promises." Danny rolled his eyes but flickered them shut as Nina's hand ghosted against his pants. "You're good for one thing, you know that."

"I'll do anything you want, just don't hurt them."

He smiled, his eyes still closed. Nina wasn't a violent girl but she knew an opportunity when she saw one. Taking the brief second he wasn't looking, she pulled Chibs' crucifix off her neck and dropped it over Danny's head. By the time he'd opened his eyes to see what was happening, she had wound it tight around her hand and his neck. Her eyes were wild, fuelled by adrenaline and his own concoction of drugs, as she pulled it harder, choking him.

Danny gasped for air, his fingers moving to try and ease her grip but her sudden strength was unrecognisable. He blindly groped around him for something to get at her with, all he could manage was to grab his gun. Just as she was squeezing the last of his life out of him, he managed to take his shaky hand to push the gun against her torso and pull the trigger.

The gunshot made everybody pause. Nina collapsed onto the ground and before anybody could stop him, Chibs grabbed one of the guns from the floor and took a shot at Danny. The bullet landed squarely, right between his eyes, and Danny stumbled as he fell. Taking the opportunity, Tig scrabbled for another gun and fired off at the remaining guards. He watched with relief as they all dropped, one by one.

Chibs was the first one to her. "Nina?" She was out cold, her body bleeding profusely. His hands moved to put pressure on the wound, his fingers staining instantly. "Jesus Christ, we need to get her to a hospital."

Tig nodded, watching as Happy pulled off his vest top and handed it to Chibs to press against Nina's stomach. It quickly changed from white to red, soaking up the blood, Chibs moaned with sadness as he collected her in his arms.

"Get the others out of here. I'll take her." Happy grunted and nodded in agreement. Chibs paused as he passed Tig and muttered, "Light this place up, brother. Burn it to the ground."
