Owes
me money, ” Victor said. “ Always pay up. Always. ” He touched Lena ’ s cheek. “ Never fuck with me, right? ”
    “ Right, ” Lena said.
    Victor looked over Lena ’ s shoulder. “ Jakey, take Lena ’ s car. Get it the fuck out of
here. Out of town. We don ’ t
need it anymore. ”
    “ What? ” Lena asked. “ My car …”
    “ What ’ s wrong? ” Victor asked. He grabbed Lena ’ s arm. “ Something wrong? ”
    “ No, ” Lena said. “ Not at all. Where is he taking
my car? ”
    “ When
I want you to know, you ’ ll
know, ” Victor said.
    Panic flooded Lena ’ s body.
    I ’ m screwed. He knows everything. I ’ m going to die.
    One of the big men took her keys
and left. Lena now had no vehicle. She had no chance of escape right now. So
even if she stabbed Victor, what the fuck was she supposed to do?
    Victor held her arm tight. “ Let ’ s go for a walk. Let ’ s
chat a bit about things. I want to know how Annie is feeling. And perhaps we
should discuss speeding time up a little for her. ”
    “ What? ” Lena asked.
    “ You
heard me, ” Victor growled. “ That old bitch needs to go. It ’ s costing too much to keep her
around. ”
    “ What
are you going to do, kill her? ”
    Lena realized the error of her
question a second before the back of Victor ’ s
hand connected with her face. She spun around and fell forward, right into the
next big guy. He kept her standing and shoved her away.
    “ Don ’ t fucking touch her, Danny! ” Victor yelled. “ I ’ ll
gut you, you fuck. ”
    Lena touched her cheek and backed
up. She kept moving and suddenly had the idea to just run. To fucking run
through the back alleys and streets of Frelen in the dark. Maybe one of the
motorcycle club guys would find her. Help her.
    Victor was charging toward her.
    “ Mr.
Victor, we have a problem, ” another man said. “ We ’ re getting interception of
police activity. Some kind of disturbance near by. We should exit. ”
    “ Fuck
that, ” Victor said. “ We have to see Angelo first. I
have to take care of him. ” He pointed to Lena. “ Let ’ s go, right now. Get in the
fucking car. ”
    “ No, ” Lena said.
    She turned and actually started to
run. It was the dumbest mistake of her life and she knew it. As dumb as the
time a black car rolled up to her with a handsome man in the backseat, telling
her that her ass was perfect, her smile was pretty, and he wanted to buy her dinner.
In that moment, Lena thought it was some fairy tale romance thing. But now,
years later, she was running from the nightmare she had welcomed into her life.
    With no knowledge of Frelen, Lena
took the chance of darting in and out of streets, hoping to not get hit and
killed by a car. Her body shook with intense fear. There was one way out of
this. Maybe. Lena reached into her bag and found the knife. She took it out and
made a right turn. To her complete shock, she spotted a few motorcycles. They
were parked out back of what was a bar or restaurant. The smell of grease
lingered in the air.
    Lena slowly turned and saw both
Victor and the big man running at her. She put the knife out and started to cut
at the air.
    “ Jesus
fuck, ” Victor said. “ Are you fucking stupid? What are
you going to do? Kill me? ”
    “ Yes, ” Lena said. “ I ’ m
going to …”
    “ Get
her, ” Victor said to the
big guy. “ Knock her the
fuck out. ”
    Lena was in total fight or
flight mode in that moment. She kept stabbing at the air but was moving
backwards too. She danced around, keeping distance between herself and the paid
chunk of muscle that was ordered to hurt her.
    There was a small opening between
Victor, the guy, and the motorcycles. Lena tried to run and that opening closed
up fast. It was Victor who darted to the right, thinking he could grab her and
subdue her. But Lena was ready. She was fucking ready.
    Lena thrust forward with the knife
and felt it slide into Victor ’ s
body. Right at his left side. She then let
