RAYLEIGH
Once we make our way into Brick’s office, he immediately sits on the leather
couch that takes up one side of the room and pulls me into his lap, kissing my
temple. Yep, I’m positive he’s gearing up to tell me something that’ll have
my world tilting on its axis.
“Gonna need you to keep your cool, brother,” he says to Banshee, who sits on
the opposite end of the couch, turned sideways facing us.
Banshee continues to stare at me, a myriad of emotions flowing across his
face until eventually, he gives in and nods at Brick. “I’m good, Brick,” he
states, his face now devoid of any expression at all.
“Okay, so while you were gone, Pops said something one day while we were
in Church. I didn’t want to get anyone’s hopes up in case what I was
suspecting was wrong, so I went into your room and grabbed your
toothbrush, then took a drink Rayleigh had and got the DNA from both of
y’all ran to have my suspicions confirmed. Ban, I know what we were all led
to believe all those years ago, but those fuckers lied to us.”
“I don’t understand,” I whisper, my head volleying between the two men as
they speak. “Who lied about what?” My mind’s spinning right now and I
can’t stop the sensation of feeling as though I’m falling down a deep, dark,
black hole.
“When we were kids, some members of the Demon Devils MC came by one
day and kidnapped a little girl,” Brick quietly informs me. “All the brothers
were in Church, but after Banshee woke up from being knocked out, he ran
inside bellowing frantically for help. The brothers scoured the area but came
up with nothing and of course, the fuckers taunted the club with pictures they
sent. Those pictures made it appear as though the little girl was dead,
sweetheart.”
“Who was she?” I ask, waving my hand vicariously through the air wanting
him to continue instead of stalling. I need him to get on with it and stop
worrying about how I’m going to take whatever news it is he’s hesitant to
share.
“You,” he spits out.
One word.
One damn word that changes everything I thought I knew about myself.
The black abyss I am currently on the edge of embraces me like a long-lost
friend, and for the first time, I welcome the darkness as it enfolds me, the
words I’ve heard resounding in my brain.
Long minutes pass until I come to only to find both Brick and Banshee
standing sentry over me, peering down at me with worry written all over their
faces.
While Brick is obviously concerned, Banshee has tears freely flowing down
his face which now has me contemplating what that means.
Why is someone I’ve only just met overwrought with such intense emotions?
“Ryleigh? You’re saying she’s Ryleigh, Brother?” he queries. “But how?
How is this possible? Explain this to me, I saw the pictures.”
Brick’s expression turns to one of molten rage as he rounds on his brother.
“What the fuck? Who thought it would be a good idea for a kid to see those?”
he thunders, his fists clenched.
