Tattooed Luna novel (Kristen and Alec) novel Chapter 421

So, I keep walking. A few owls and bats flew around but mostly it was quiet. Every now and then a cricket would sing but the birds will be taking over shortly.

A single thread of smoke in the distance told me I was just about there. Since the bar sat on the outskirts of an abandoned town, it was easy to get to. The town wasn’t actually abandoned but it was a hot spot for anything illegal. Darin actually put his town back in action for his sells. It was all undergrown so anyone that drove by wouldn’t have a clue. Very well hidden and very well protected. The closer I got, the more security I noticed. If Ol’ Man Frank didn’t see if coming, I would be surprised.

The smell of something smoking was getting stronger and stronger. Whatever he was cooking, it smelled delicious. As I got to the back of the house, the smoker was unmanned and smoke was spilling out of it.

“The hell…” I whispered as I opened it and had to use the water bottle on a few of the flames.

CLICK! The sound of a gun being cocked was the loudest sound in the entire world. “Turn around slowly.” Frank growled. This man was short, plump but had a mean streak that would surprise Vin.

“I’m just saving your brisket.” I smirked as I turned around and faced him.

“I thought you were dead.” He didn’t lower his gun but he did lift his head up.

“Surprise!”

“What are you doing here?”

“Can we go inside and I’ll tell you everything?” I asked and made a point to look around.

“You found a mate?” He looked at me in shock. Frank had a big mouth so I had to be careful about what I said but I needed him to trust me, allow me to stay and maybe even get some information out of him.

“I did, awhile ago.”

“Where is she?”

“Being held by Vin. I need to do a job to prove my loyalty to Vin. With Rip going down and Colt being a pain in our ass, I need to prove my worth in this world.” I knew Vin would come ass so might as well see it.

“There are other places you can go to sleep to prove yourself worthy.” Frank rolled his eyes at me.
