her to truly escape?
    She drove to the edge of town before a car pulled in behind her and turned on blue lights.
    “Ms. Pride?”  The officer asked as he stepped to her window.
    Nikki nodded.
    “Officer Teddy Buxton is your brother?” 
    “Yes.  Teddy is my stepbrother.”  She knew this wasn’t good.
    “I’ve been asked to bring you in Ma’am.  Would you please step out of the car?”
    Nikki sat for a moment.  She knew she could call in and ask if this was for real or just ask for help.  She picked up her phone and the officer snatched it out of her hand.
    “Now you don’t need to go and do that.  I won’t hurt you.  Just come with me and I’ll take you to your brother.”
    “Just let me go.  You know he will hurt me.  Please just let me go.”
    The officer looked unsure for a split second.  Then he shook his head.
    “I’m sorry.  I need the money he’s paying me.  Please come with me, I really don’t want to hurt you.”
    Nikki dropped her head.  There was no way out.
    The officer refused to speak to her on the drive.  She begged him to let her go, to help her, but he just drove until he pulled up in front of the house she’d shared with her stepbrother and climbed out of the car.  There were three motorcycles sitting out front and she shuttered, but she had to face this mess.  She would tell Teddy that she knew where Shad had his family hidden, she had a pretty good idea, but she would never tell him for real.  How could she?  They wanted to murder Lacey and her children.  Nikki couldn’t help them do that, even if she knew Shadow would kill her in the most painful way imaginable if he found out who she was.
    She made her way quietly inside hoping none of the men would see her.  She was wrong.
    “Well if it isn’t the little mouse.”  Dax sat sprawling on the couch.  “Get over here and suck my dick bitch or have you had that bastard Law in your mouth today?”
    Nikki didn’t know why she nodded, but she would rather be beaten than have to suck his disgusting dick again.  She saw the rage rise as Dax’s face reddened.  Maybe she would escape after all.  She gave Dax a coy smile.
    “I need to get upstairs and shower… the condom broke so he just used my mouth the next time.”
     
    “Stupid whore.”  Dax stood and back handed her across the face with enough force to send her flying.  The she felt his booted foot slam into her stomach.  He lifted her by her hair and this time he used his fist and then the world went dark.
     

Five
    Nikki opened her eyes slowly.  She wasn’t in her house.  Her head hurt and when she tried to move she found that she hurt all over.  Memories flooded her mind and she tried to sit up.  Her battered body wouldn’t allow it so she just lay there in a beaten heap and let the tears come.  Teddy had been there when she’d come to her senses.  He had questioned her for what seemed like days, but could have been hours.  She was given water a couple of times and something to eat.  She passed out from time to time so she had no idea of time passing.  They had wanted to know about the Defenders, but she honestly didn’t know much about them.  She knew she probably said more than she should have, but her mind had been too fuzzy to control every detail.  They asked her about Lacey the most.  She had told them that Lacey and her family were in a cabin up in the hills behind the clubhouse in the direction she thought to be opposite from the reality. 
    Then, when they thought they had everything she could tell them Dax had beaten her until she thought she would die, ranting about his old lady being a Defenders whore and how she would see what happened when women screwed him over.  She had no idea where she was, but she knew she may as well be dead.
    “Shhhh now don’t do that.  It’s alright.”
    That voice had her eyes jerking wide.  Lawless sat in a chair beside her bed and looked like he hadn’t slept in days.
    She tried to
