I can’t stop the evil grin that forlance over

at Felicity “Don’t worry about us” This is going to be fun

Felicity doesn’t think that we need to take any one else with us and I agree Between the two of us, we’ll get our point across to that sick cow Just because we don’t need any other wos safe I jumped out of Felicity’s Jeep as soon as she pulls into the parking lot of Razor’s Ink Shop

The open sign is off, but I know Spider’s inside It’s a Saturday uys would be in today to get soinal, owns the Shop, Spider runs it He’s the only one I let do my ink, and over the last year he’d become like another brother to me I feel like I’m as close to him as I am to Felicity

I tap twice before trying the handle and find the door unlocked, which is exactly what I expected Only an idiot would try anything with Spider “Hey!” I call out when I see the front room is empty “Are you busy?”

“Depends on your definition of busy” A gruff voice co to the more private rooms, where discreetly placed tattoos have to be handled Spider pokes his head around the corner, his eyes narrowing on me “What you want, kid?”

I lean against the front counter where his co up “I need you for about an hour Can you come with me and Flick?”

Those black eyes of his narrow even rin at the monster as he takes his time I’ot the Black Widow tattoo on his neck five years ago, and he’s been in the club for at least six Not many people know that his real name is James or that he has a weakness for Snickers No one wants to know those things

All they care about is that he’s a scary looking motherfucker and can destroy you with the flick of his wrist He’d taken over as enforcer when Bash had left the year before, and no one wants to deal with him any more than they want to deal with Bash, so there’s mostly peace within the club I let my eyes take all of him in

Spider’s only twenty-four but he looks older than Jet who’s thirty-one He’s got a shaved head and ties a bandana around it The bull ring draws my eyes to the crookedness of his nose It’s been broken at least twice and has never been set properly His goatee is dark brown and hides the di a shirt with this rock band that we all like on it As tight as that shirt is over his hard chest, I always snicker at the thought of hi out, which he can do in the blink of an eye, and destroying the shirt Old jeans hang off his narrow hips His size fifteen boots stomp toward me

“Someone touch you, Rave?” he asks as he comes closer “Do I need to take care of someone?”

The rule that no one touches Raven Hannigan is the one rule that Spider makes sure is enforced Jet had made sure of that That doesn’t mean I hadn’t tried to tempt him when I was on the rebound “No, no I have to take care of so you could come with me and Flick”

“Sure I’ve always got time for you”

It takes us twenty et to Gracie’s apartment just a block frohts of stairs and knocks on the door, keeping his spider tattoo turned away from the peep hole as ait for Janice to answer the door The tattoo is the scariest part of Spider No one could see it and not know that he’s a very dangerous man So he keeps the pretty boy side of his face to the hole, and I know that Janice won’t be able to resist opening the door for that

I glance at Felicity who already has her phone out, ready to record what’s about to go down Janice isn’t going to like it when the tables are turned and so humiliated
