dust behind them. I fired as many shots as I could before they were out of view. I looked to my bike and then back at Blaze. I still had time to catch up to the Mexicans.
I kneeled down next to Blaze and put pressure on his chest. He coughed up blood, trying to speak. “Pain...”
“Don't speak, Blaze. I need to get an ambulance.” My hands were slipping on his chest from all the blood. He wasn't going to last much longer.
Blaze shook his head. He whispered but I couldn't hear him. I leaned down and put my ear to his lips. “It's too late for me.” His words were barely audible. “Don't let those fucking wetbacks get away with this.”
I looked into Blaze's eyes and nodded. “They'll all die by my hands.” Blaze's breathing stopped with a gasp and his hand relaxed and fell into the dirt. I stood up and dropped my gun, my fingers numb from shock. The Mexicans had completely decimated us.
I went back into the MC to find Tater and Tank covering the dead bodies with blankets. The police would be here soon. “What the fuck happened?” I asked.
Tater shrugged his shoulders and sighed. “The Mexicans came out of nowhere. We didn't even have a chance.” Tater pointed to one of the dead bodies. “I took one of them down but there were too many of them.”
Tank balled his hands into fists. “Where's the Prez? We need to hit them back right now.”
There was no getting around it. “Prez is dead. E-Z is dead. Cash is gone...Coal is dead.”
Tater began to shake. “Holy fuck...We're the only ones left.”
“What the fuck are we going to do?” Tank asked.
I shook my head. “I have no fucking clue. All I know is that the Mexicans need to pay for this.”
“Think the Blacks hired them for revenge?” Tater said.
I went over to the bar and Tank helped me lower Cash's heavy body to the ground. “It's possible. We knew the Blacks had a deal going on with the Mexicans,” Tank said.
“We don't have the manpower to hit the Mexicans back. We'll just get slaughtered,” Tater murmured.
The shock and fear wore off and was replaced with pure hatred. The Mexicans were going to fucking die even if it meant my death. “We need to find out if the Blacks are in with the Mexicans. We need Byron's help.” I looked towards the basement door. “And I know exactly how were going to get it.”
Chapter Sixteen
Emily
The dead eyes of Coal stared back at me as I huddled into the corner of the basement. Gunshots boomed upstairs and for all I knew Pain was dead like the rest of them. It had to be Byron taking revenge. What would he do to me when he discovers me down here?
A figure came down the stairs and I grabbed the pipe that I had killed Coal with. I wouldn't let Byron take me without giving a fight. I hid at the bottom and swung when he hit the bottom step.
A hand grabbed the pipe before it connected with his head. “Whoa, Emily. It's me.” Pain stood there with blood all over him and a gun in his hand. Pain took the pipe and tossed it across the room.
My legs wobbled and I couldn't stand anymore. Pain took my hands and helped me to the floor. “Did you get him? Did you kill Byron?”
Pain kneeled down in front of me, a dark shadow covering his face. “It wasn't Byron. It was the Mexicans. They killed a bunch of us. There's barely anything left of the Devil's Hellions MC.” Pain looked over at Coal's carcass. “I need to get you out of here.”
Pain gathered me in his arms and picked me up. He carried me up the stairs and out of the basement. I could feel the pain radiating from Pain. The Devil's Hellions MC was all he knew and it had been taken from him. I saw the death and destruction as Pain carefully stepped over all the dead bodies. The clubhouse was in shambles. Could they ever come back from this?
Pain took me up to his room on the second floor. He gently laid me on the bed and placed his pistol onto the
