My Bad Boy's Gang novel Chapter 56

"No Ryk-" I started but he reached across the table and grabbed my hands in his. "Rain," He stopped me with his eyes boring into mine "Nothing's going to happen."

You know that feeling in the bottom of your stomach where it feels like a pit, or the back of your head with the voice telling you something's wrong, or your muscles becoming tense and telling you to leave? Well I had that right now, and there was definitely something about that man.

The waitress came back with our drinks, and took our orders quickly. "You'd tell your dad about the whole moving out thing?" Ryker asked.

"Well.." I trailed off, spinning my drink around with my straw "Not exactly.." "Not exactly?" He questioned, cocking an eyebrow at me. "We talked about me moving out and getting an apartment with Liz..but I didn't exactly tell him about us yet.."

Ryker rolled his eyes at me and I defended "Hey! It's kinda hard to tell your dad that at 18 and still in High School you're moving in with your 20 year old boyfriend, who has a prison record and whom he hates."

"Oh come on," Ryker leaned back in the booth "Your dad loves me." "Yeah, loves the idea of shooting you," I narrowed my eyes. Ryker rolled his eyes again and sent me a look "Well I don't really care about being worthy enough for an abusive Bastard."

"He hasn't laid a hand on me in months, he's trying Ryk," I admitted "He really is." "Good because he lays one goddamn finger on you, and I swear to God Rain-I'll shoot him," Ryker warned.

"Speaking of shooting people.." I trailed off "Faith has a date with this guy and I bought her this dress..now it's not exactly something you'd approve up, but just let her live a little."

"Rain-" Ryker started, but was quickly cut off when the door bursted open and a man yelled "Everybody get down!" With a gun pointed out in his hands, and a mask over his face but he had the body structure of maybe 40's or 50's.

My eyes snapped over to Ryker and he quickly pushed me down to the ground and under the booth as he got down and so did everyone else. He quickly took out a glock he had on his side and my eyes widened as he slapped a mag into the gun, as a bullet loaded into the chamber.

"Ha, you really got something coming if you think you're getting up right now," I commented as I sent him a look. "Rain," He warned "I can handle myself."

"He has a gun!" I exclaimed in a whisper. "And so do I," Ryker retorted and the guy walked up to the man that was staring at me from earlier. Ryker went to get up, but I grabbed his hand.

"Ryk Please," I whispered with my grip tightening on his hand in fear my boyfriend could be killed at this very moment. He sighed and pressed his lips to mine, cupping my cheek with his free hand.

"I love you," He whispered and my forehead rested his forehead against mine. "Everyone stay down!" The man yelled again, and he pointed the gun out at a little crying girl. "Stand up," He ordered her and I saw the little girl with long blond hair and hazel eyes stand up.

My eyes went wide, and I froze "Phoenix." My head snapped back to Ryker "That's Jame's daughter; Phoenix. Ryker we have to get her."

"Where's your parents?" The man asked her as he knelt down to her height. "I-I don't know," She whispered with tears in her eyes. The man's lips tugged up into smirk as he raised the gun from his side and pointed it at Phoenix.

I grabbed a sharp kitchen knife from the top of the table and quickly got out from underneath the table. "Back away from kid!" I yelled, make all attention go towards me.

The man slowly stood up, before walking up to me. "I don't know who you think you are sweetheart," He said, and quickly pushed me back up against a wall and turned the knife around on my neck "But you better learn your place."

The knife dug into my skin, and the man raised the gun to the side of my head "Looks like you're going to be the first to go." I kept his glare, when Ryker quickly pulled him off me and slammed him into the counter before throwing a punch into his jaw, and pushing him so far he went over the counter and knocked down a bunch of glasses.

I quickly ran over to Phoenix where she was crying in between a group of strangers sobbing her eyes out. I knelt down to her and said to the lady that was comforting Phoenix. "Phoenix," I spoke and she looked up at me with tears streaming down her face "Come with me, will find your daddy."

Phoenix started to get up when the lady stopped her "We can't just let her go to you. You're a stranger." "I'm a friend of her dad, I'm not a stranger and I can't keep her with you either because that's exactly what you are."

"Sweetie, do you know her?" The lady asked Phoenix and I heard a gunshot go off. I turned around to see and the man pulled the trigger as everyone started to scream and run in panic. I grabbed Phoenix and picked her up as Ryker aimed the gun at the guy as the gun stood up from the ground.

Ryker pulled the trigger once and it hit the man in the chest. He clutched his chest before he fell back against the counter and I quickly ran out of the restaurant with Phoenix in my arms. Ryker came running behind me as we all evacuated the area.

I came running down an alleyway where I stopped when I saw a gang coming towards and recognized it was a gang that was allies of Rhett's gang. "Shit," Ryker muttered under his breath as people scattered the streets in panic while screaming.

"Ryk, we have to go now," I blurted and Ryker turned to me "Take Phoenix to the truck, I'll meet up with you." Ryker shoved the truck keys into my hands and I shook my head "Ryker no, you're not just going to take them on by yourself."

A gunshot went off and Ryker quickly pushed me off to the side and shielded me and Phoenix. "Rain, I'll be fine. Take Phoenix," He ordered and another gun shot went off as Phoenix held onto me tightly "NOW RAIN!"

I took the keys and quickly ran down the sidewalk with Phoenix clinging onto me for dear life. I took a turn down an alley and ran out into the middle of the street, making cars slam on their breaks.

I ran down the streets and came to Ryker's truck. I quickly opened the driver's seat and placed Phoenix in the passenger side. Placing the keys in, I tried to turn on the engine but it wouldn't start.

I continued to try and I sighed "You've got to be kidding me." "Where's my daddy?" Phoenix cried, and I looked at her "Phoe, we're going to find him. I promise." Hearing a gunshot go off, I quickly grabbed a gun that Ryker had in the glove department. Before taking Phoenix to get out of the truck and walked over to a motorcycle that was parked on the side of a street.

I placed Phoenix on the ground and got down under the motorcycle to mess with the wires only to hot wire it. My grandfather had taught me a thing or two about hot wiring when I went to visit him in Maine during the summer.

Red wire..blue wire..green wire...

After a few minutes I got it to work, not really being able to remember or explain what I exactly did. I lifted Phoenix onto the motorcycle, and placed her on my lap. "Phoenix, you need to hold on tight, okay?" I demanded and she nodded shyly before placing her hands on the handles.

I hit the gas and quickly caught the balance before I pulled out and swerving in and out of cars. Cars and taxi's were coming to a stop at a red lights, but I took a deep breath before pushing on the clutch and speeding up to run a red light.

I went down an alleyway and saw Ryker beating up some guy in a fight and the guy slammed Ryker up against a wall and put a gun up to his head. I got off the motorcycle quickly and raised the gun before I pressed the trigger down.

The bullet hit the guy and he stumbled back against the brick wall of a building. Ryker came up to me and pecked my lips "Thanks, babe." "Always saving you from being shot, I see," I chuckled and walked back to the motorcycle.

Phoenix came running up to me and hugged my legs tightly. "It's alright, sweetie," I reassured her as Ryker came up "Tell me you hot wired the motorcycle."

"Well..the truck was dead.." I trailed off, biting my lip nervously. "God, you're hot," He whispered into my ear before taking the keys and getting on the motorcycle. I placed Phoenix on my lap and I wrapped my arms around her and Ryker's torso, so she couldn't fall off.

"Hold on," Ryker said, before pulling out onto the street. He swerved in and out of people as he landed to certain sides to keep the balance even. Phoenix buried her face into Ryker's back out of fear and I pressed her back up against me so she would be more secure.

We pulled onto the bridge and Ryker went close to the edge to avoid traffic, making Phoenix clutch her grip on Ryker tighter. "Hold on Phoenix," Ryker reassured as he sped up.

My phone then started to ring and I pulled it out of my back pocket quickly before seeing Craig's number flash on my screen. I swiped to answer the call before placing it up to my ear "Uh hey Craig..."

"Where the hell are you?!" Craig yelled through the phone "Gang rivals are showing up everywhere!" "Yeah, I know. We were at a pizza restaurant and there was a bunch of gangs coming."

"Where are you now?" He asked. "About to get off the bridge," I answered, tightening my grip on Phoenix. "Don't go to the warehouse. We all had to evacuate because Rhett's gang was sending us threats," Craig stated.

"Alright. How about we all meet at my house?" I questioned. "Ok, will see you there Thompson," Craig approved before hanging up. I wrapped my arms around Ryker's torso again "Go to my house, whole gang is meeting there."

Ryker got off the bridge and took a turn to start heading towards my house.
