In the Shadows
Darkness surrounds me everywhere
Doesn’t matter if the sun is shining
Nor that people are around
There’s no one around who cares
There’s only darkness in the shadows
If there was only one way to escape
I would break through
Leaving it all behind
Only in the shadows I’m safe
No one can get to me from here
I can be me without the hate
Or the looks
Darkness may surround me
I may jerk at each sound
But in the shadows of the dark
I’m invisible to those around
I can be me without the hate
Without the look
In the shadows is all I need.

Prologue
Shadow
Standing in the dark of night watching the scene unfold in front of me is sickening. Being at Victoria’s back on this has been different that’s for sure. I’ve never known a woman like my VP’s ol’ lady. Rather than sobbing constantly at the hospital, she had shut down her emotions and went hunting.
Not hunting for animals but for a different sort of prey.
Now the two of us are staking out her old home down in Louisiana. Hell, we’d been out here for hours and this is the shit part of missions, I’ve always hated the waiting game.
I’ve never been one to sit on the sidelines, in the back waiting to get told what to do. Unless it came directly from my Prez. Only for Vi will I do something like that, it was her ol’ man who was shot and she feels the need to seek her vengeance. Sure, I’d wanted to pull her ass back several times, but she has the fire in her eyes that you don’t fuck with. No one was going to sway her to abort this shit. Not when Tracker was involved.
I’d been surprised when I’d gotten into Vi’s Jeep and she’d started humming a Christmas song. I didn’t understand at first but having been around the Inferno’s Clutch MC, I learned quite a bit about her as well as Raven and another chick I don’t know. Each of these three women, if I were still into the shit I used to do would be required for jobs. The specialties they all carry are some that not even some of the best men I’ve worked with had.
After the night I killed a man for hitting my brother and taking his life, mine changed. I became who I am today.
A shadow.
I ended up with an organization that dealt with situations that you might as well compare them to suicide missions. Nothing you did when handling the problem was off limits. All that mattered was that the job got done. Sometimes it would be a job like this one where we’re going after well-known members of society who are some of the worse people. Others were about extracting and execution, those were the ones that were the hardest.
Headlights coming down the driveway come into view, I move further into the dark so that I’m not spotted. With Victoria on the other side of the property lying in wait on the roof of her adoptive parents’ garage, I wasn’t about to take any chances.
I focus my sight on the car as it stops in front of the house. The back door opens and out steps a woman with snobbish features and looks like a stick. No tits. No ass. Fuck, is she even a woman? If it wasn’t for the fact, she was wearing a skirt, her hair flowing down her back you’d think it was a dude. Then again, I could be wrong and it is.
Nothing wrong with a dude wanting to do that shit, it ain’t mine to judge.
The next person to get out is a man, I’m going to assume is Parker. These two are the ones we’re here to take. I pull my phone out to message Vi, that it’s game time when my attention swings to the woman who is pulled out of the car.
Not just pulled by the arm, no she’s not pulled at all, but dragged out by a leash connected to a collar attached to her throat.
Fuck.
This situation just changed.
Victoria isn’t going to take them out tonight.
No, she’s gonna wanna get the girl.
My thoughts are confirmed when the screen on my phone brightens and I read Vi’s message.
PIMA: Gonna need you to watch for any other cars coming up the road.
When I programmed her number into my phone I decided to go with Pain in My Ass, because the woman can be mind boggling. How her ol’ man deals with her is beyond me. Then again Victoria is one of the best women I know.
I quickly shoot a message back confirming.
Me: I saw the girl.
PIMA: I’m not leaving her here. Plans have changed.
Me: Figured as much.
PIMA: Good I’ll shoot you a text when I’m ready for pick up.
Nodding to myself, I figured I’d give her this play but she’s got a time limit. This will show me just how good she is at extracting.
Me: You have two hours after that I’m coming after you.
PIMA: I don’t need two hours.
We’ll see about that.
Checking the time, I begin the clock.
Keeping an eye out from the tree line. I’m not far from the car we’d used tonight and from here I can listen for anything coming down the road and see the lights before they get close.
The sound of breaking glass pulls my attention to the side of the house, and I watch as one figure climbs out and
