Four or Dead by G O A

Four or Dead

Logan

Asher has been pissy since we saw Emma and I'm ready to ditch him at the cabin with no ride out. Look I get he isn't happy with the situation and the guy hates not being in control but the rest of us recognize that Emma is going through a shift. She doesn't want to be the princess in the tower tucked away and safe. After what she went through I get why

She probably felt helpless even though she got a quick education on some of the basics. She wasn't part of this world and now I regret that we kept so much away from her

She could have been better prepared if we hadn't been so set on hiding these dark parts of our lives. Now our girl is pissed and hell it's kind of hot. I saw the fire in her eyes and I liked it. Sure that guy Wyatt is going to be a hard pill to swallow but I couldn't give a shit about him. All I want is Emma in whatever way she will let me have her. She has ruined me for any other girl and I'm completely cool with it.

I never knew what loving a girl would feel like but she makes it easy

There is nothing about her that I don't crave and seeing that spark of darkness only makes me love her more. I would lay the world at her feet if she asks and from the looks of things, almost every guy around here would. I know even our crew would submit to her if Devaro let her lead them

"Man you gotta cool it with the tantrums. Our girl is safe and your

starting to piss me off." I finally growl out in frustration. I?

Asher ignores me and grumbles to himself. Seriously this guy is acting like a child who's you got taken by another kid. \*)

"He's right. If you keep acting like this Emma is going to throw you aside and I won't fight her on it." Leo adds

Asher lets out a groan of frustration and then sighs. "I know. I'm just wound so tight right now and it's driving me crazy. I can't seem to relax and she is all I can think about."

That's big of him to admit and it makes me a little less pissed at him

I'm about to say as much when my phone rings. It's a number I don't recognize but I still answer

"Hello?" I say casually

"Logan?" The sound of Emma's voice hits me in the chest

"Emma? Missing me already?" I say playfully

She laughs. "Of course I miss you! Look, we need to meet. I spoke to Zane and we may have a little bit of trouble, and Devaro should be there too."

My smile drops. "Sure. We can meet at Devaro's office."

"Actually I have a better idea." She says and I hear mischief in her voice

She tells me her idea and I have to say our girl is a genius

"Your cruel baby. I like this side of you." I tell her

"You may find I am full of surprises." She says teasingly and I laugh

"T can't wait to be surprised then," I say back

"T bet you are. I'll see you tonight." My chest tightens at those last words

"See you tonight," I say softly

"Bye." She says before hanging up

I look down at my phone for a second longer before looking back up at the other guys. They're all watching me and waiting for me to explain

the call

"Emma needs to meet us. She got Zane talking and she says we have a problem." I tell them

"Of course we do. It's not like the city isn't in enough shit as it is." Asher says before cursing under his breath

"Where does she want to meet?" Leo asks

I smirk. "Zane's hotel."

"What?" Leo and Asher say togetherCcontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I laugh. "Zane told everyone that Emma was taking time away to rest, but she thinks if she returns and he doesn't that people will start asking questions." \')

Leo laughs to himself. "She wants people to see her."

"She wants Zane's company and his friends to get worried, and when they do they'll start to panic and show their hands. She wants to find out who helps Zane with what and Zane missing will have them scrambling to figure out how to cover their own asses," I explain

"Wouldnt that just make it easy for the rest of Zane's men to find her? Aren't they at the hotel?" Leo asks

"She didn't tell me everything, but she did say that Zane's men will be busy for a while with other things. At least long enough for us to have the meeting." I go on

"She's planting doubt in people's minds. Confusing them." Leo concludes

Honestly, I think this idea is crazy but also ballsy as hell. Cleary she has a plan and it is going to involve some shock and awe

"When are we meeting her?" Jayden asks

"Tonight."

They don't have to be told twice. We let the guys know where we'll be

and decide to take a few of the crew with us to the meeting in case any of Zane's men show up

After a few hours, we pull up just behind Devaro's SUV and make our

way into Zane's hotel

"Wow. Do you think all of this gold is real?" Asher asks whistling and glancing around at the grandiose lobby

"Good even gentlemen. How can I assist you?" A man in a suit asks. I "We're meeting someone," I say

He nods. "Miss Emma. Yes, she is waiting for you in the lounge."

He extends his hand toward the direction of a room to the right of the entrance. It's a room with deep red carpet and black leather furniture scattered around. There is also a small bar along the wall. When we enter several heads turn our way and it doesn't take long for recognition to set in. They may not all know who I and the guys are but they know Devaro, and it's clear that him being here has them a little worried

"Right this way." The man says leading toward a section toward the back of the room

I spot Emma right away. She is smiling and talking closely with Wyatt and I hear Asher scoff. This could go wrong if he doesn't keep his temper in check. From what I can see, things are more friendly between

our girl and this guy. As I said, I couldn't care less at this point but Asher is a jealous bastard. Emma sees us a few moments before we arrive at her section and as soon as she spots us her face lights up

She stands and comes around to meet us. Of course, I shove my way past the others so I can get to her first, and I pull her close against me and bury my face in her hair. Yeah, she smells amazing, and I'm not ashamed to say I love it. After wha we went through without her I'm not the least bit embarrassed about needing to reassure myself that she's alive and here

I step back and take her face in my hands. She smiles up at me and I crash my lips against hers like I'm a dying man and only she is my remedy. A throat clears behind me and reluctantly I pull away from her so the others can greet her too. Lec steps up next and he holds her just as tight as me and I can also see Asher's anxiety to have his turn with her. It looks like he's vibrating in anticipation. I move past them and turn my attention to Wyatt. he stands and gives me a tight smile and extends his hand to me

I eye him for a second before taking it. "How's it going man?"

"Good." He says and we nod to each other

It's going to take time to welcome him into our little circle if that is what Emma intends, but we'll work on it. I)

Once we're finally all seated we turn our full attention on Emma

"So, what did Zane say?" Devaro asks

Emma takes a deep breath and sighs. "He has a contingency plan in place if something ever happened to him. He's been working with a group of Russians. Upon his death or disappearance, they will mobilize a unit of men to take out a number of people Zane told them would be the ones responsible." She says

"Us." Jayden guesses and she nods. I'

Russians. This is not good. They are ruthless and love to send messages and not the clean kind. The kind that involves a lot of blood

Things just got a whole lot more complicated
