Chapter 16

—Isaiah—

“Pick up, goddamn it!” I yelled as yet another attempt to call Holly went to voicemail.

I felt like a desperado, and in all honesty, that’s exactly what I was. I needed to talk to her. To make sure she was okay, because by now she surely knew about the video being leaked.

“Fuck this,” I hissed, snatching up my SUV keys despite Ned’s strict warning to stay the fuck at home during my stand-down period. I had to do something other than pace the floor.

If Holly wasn’t accepting my calls, then she would have to accept my presence. I had to talk to her—to explain and to apologize for getting her into this mess. I also vowed to myself to get her out of it. I didn’t know how yet, but I’d find a way.

The automatic gates on my property slowly opened. The freedom was short-lived thanks to the swarm of media outside my property. They surrounded my vehicle, making it impossible to escape.

“Move!” I yelled with a sweeping arm gesture. “Get out of the way!”

The sea of paps simply moved around me as I gently nosed through. Cameras were held up to all windows, each flash more blinding than the last. Gritting my teeth and wringing the steering wheel, I resisted the urge to accelerate and run all the m’fuckers down.

“Fucking move!” I yelled at the top of my lungs while holding down the horn.

Muscling my way through the relentless sea had me holding my breath the entire damn time. Once ‘free’ I gunned it down the street.

Surprise, surprise, they all jumped in cars and sped to catch up.

Tailing me through town simply wouldn’t do. That would lead them straight to Holly’s place. It was only a matter of time before they found out where she lived, but I hoped she still had that cloak of anonymity for the time being.

Cursing again when they literally ran lights to keep up with me, I rang Scout.

He answered after a few rings with his usual, “Hey, man.”

“Hey, dawg. Where you at?”

“At Holly’s,” came his cautious reply. “Where are you?”

Him being with her both settled and annoyed the piss out of me. “I was on my way ov—”

“You’re not!” he snarled.

I scoffed. “’Gon’ let me finish that sentence, brother?”

There was a brief pause before he cleared his throat. “Sorry. Yeah, go ahead.”

“As I was m’fuckin’ sayin’, I was on my way over, but I’ve got an entourage of paps lickin’ my ass.”

“Now there’s a vision,” he drawled.

Ignoring the comment, I huffed out a breath. “I need to talk to Holly.”

His tone grew wary, as if he was eyeing her while speaking to me. “I dunno, man.”

I growled impatiently as I changed lanes, hoping to lose the paps in the city. “Can you just ask her? If she doesn’t want to talk to me, then fine. But I want to hear it from her, not you.”

“Fine.” The call became muffled through the hands-free of my SUV, but I still heard Gats say, “He wants to talk to you.
