ear and looked at the screen, he'd obviously hung up and I knew then that they'd found Priest, that could be the only reason for such an early phone call. I swung my legs from the bed and sat on the edge as I contemplated my next move. If they were suspicious that I had something to do with it then I needed to be tooled up, if I was going down then I was going down fighting and I would hopefully be able to take a few along with me. I entered the clubhouse and was instantly taken aback when I saw the girl from last night at the pub bound and gagged kneeling in the middle of the clubhouse. Beth's tear stained face caught my attention as she looked at me with pleading eyes. "What's up?" I asked looking at the group that had congregated around her. Polar turned towards me, "Is this the slut that was with Priest last night?" I now knew where this was going and that they were looking for a scapegoat. "I can't be sure, if it is she was looking much hotter than that last night." I glanced over at her as if she were a mere object that had been placed on the floor. Hustler threw me her phone, I caught it and glanced around the group still faking confusion. Hustler nodded at the phone and I began to scroll through her photos although I knew full well that this was the girl from last night. I'd spent the best part of three hours trying to get rid of her. As I continued to flick through the photos on her phone I came across one of Beth and Priest taken last night and knew that they were already aware that it was Beth but this was probably another test to see if I would confirm. "Yeah that's her." I threw the phone back to Hustler before turning my attention to Onyx. "What's going on man? Surely you haven't brought her here for giving him a good time last night." I sniggered looking around the room but didn't get a reaction. "So where's Priest? Is he in the sharing mood?" I asked gyrating my hips. "Someone robbed him and stabbed him up." Hustler stated through gritted teeth. "Is he alright?" I could've won an Oscar for my performance. "He's fucking dead!" Polar screamed as he surged forward and kicked Beth in the chest. She whimpered as she fell hitting the ground hard. "I couldn't get hold of him all night and it's not like him to ignore my calls even if he's getting pussy, so I went looking for him and found him in the field by the pub this morning." "What? You're not thinking that she did it are you?" I asked trying to take the heat off Beth. I didn't owe her shit but I didn't want an innocent involved. "That's exactly what I'm thinking." Onyx roared as he grabbed Beth roughly by her arm. Beth glanced at me with pleading eyes but there was nothing I could do, her fate had already been sealed. Beth wriggled around trying to get free although she was bound and gagged, she looked like a rag doll being tossed around in Onyx's grip as he dragged her through the bar and towards the back room closely followed by Polar and Hustler. "Polar, please have mercy on her, you can stop this before it goes too far." He stopped in his tracks, April's face lit up hoping that her words had registered with him. Polar turned on his heels and made his way across the bar towards her with an unreadable expression. "Let me talk to her, one woman to another. I'm sure she'll tell me what exactly happened." Polar stood tall and ran his fingers across April's cheek assessing her before he swung his arm back and slapped her across the face. April fell to the floor and I did everything within my power not to run to her aid. Polar pointed at her, "Don't you ever fucking tell me what to do again you cunt." He spat before he turned and stomped in the direction of Beth's screams. Once Polar had disappeared from sight, I jogged over to her side but April swatted me away, "Don't Saviour, just don't." April's hand went to her cheek and she moved her jaw slowly making sure everything was still intact. Pushing up from the floor, April stood and made her way over to the bar
