PowerShift: Skid Row Kings Series, #2 (24 page)

I could hear the roar of engines in the distance, and I knew it wouldn’t be long until Mitch, and the other two cars would come screeching across the finish line.

“You OK?” Luke asked me.

I nodded my head. “Yeah, I’m fine.” Thankfully AZ hadn’t touched me, but it still felt like he had when he eyed me up. I grabbed my beer, downing the rest of it and tossed the empty bottle in the empty bucket Luke had in the back of his truck. The roar of engines and squealing tires loudened and then Mitch came tearing around the corner with the two other cars right on his tail.

Mitch roared across the finish line, and the crowd cheered and crowded the street as the last two cars crossed the finish line. I watched Mitch slow down the car then turn around and head into the crowd. He stopped his car in front of the truck, and I hopped down from the tailgate.

I weaved my way to the car and threw myself into Mitch’s arms. I wrapped my arms tight around him and held on.

“You happy I won?” Mitch laughed. All I could do was nod my head. Mitch tilted my head back and frowned at me. “Why the hell are you crying?” He asked as he wiped my tears from my cheeks.

“She’s fine. It just appears AZ took a shine to her.” I turned my head and saw Luke, Violet and Leelee had followed me.

“He touched her?” Mitch growled,

“No. I didn’t let him. He came over talking shit and said he had info on Kurt, but the only way he would tell us is if we gave him something he wanted.”

“He better not have laid a fucking finger on Scar, Luke. I’ll fucking kill him if he did.” Mitch wrapped his arms tight around me.

“He didn’t, I swear. I pushed him up against the truck before he could get to Scarlett.” Luke put his arm around Violet and pulled her close. “You know I wouldn’t let anything happen to Scarlett.”

Mitch nodded his head and pressed a kiss against the side of my head. “You find out what he knows about Kurt.”

“He says he’s in California. I don’t have many connections out there, but I’ll see what I can dig up. He obviously doesn’t want us to find him, so I don’t know how hard I’ll dig.”

“Just find him and make sure he’s OK, Luke.”

Luke nodded his head and pulled Violet back in the crowd. Leelee wandered off in the other direction and Mitch looked down at me. “You swear he didn’t touch you, right?”

“I promise. It was just the way he looked at me, Mitch.”

“I won’t let anything happen to you, Scar. All that bullshit of being hurt is behind you. I’ll kill anyone who puts a hand on you,” Mitch vowed.

I reached up, cupping his face in my hand, stood on my tiptoes and pressed a kiss to his lips. “I believe you. Thank you.” I had never had that before in my life, and I knew now that no matter how logical I wanted to be, that was something you didn’t throw away. Whether you had known the person a month or ten years. Mitch was giving me everything I had ever wanted, and there was only one thing I could give back to him; my heart. “I love you, Mitch.”

“I love you, too, Scarlett. Till my last breath, I’ll love you and Levi. Nothing will stop me.” He pressed a kiss to my forehead, and I leaned into him.

This was it. This was what I always wanted and needed, and I wasn’t going to let it go, ever.

Chapter 35

Leelee

I grabbed my phone off of the dresser and saw a number that I didn’t know. My first thought was that something was wrong with Jay, but I had programmed all of the camp’s phone numbers into my phone so I knew it couldn’t be them.

I glanced at the time and saw that it was half-past two. Any phone call after ten o’clock at night was not a good one, and I was afraid to answer. I swiped left and put the phone to my ear. “Hello?”

“Hello, this is Grace from St. Peter’s Hospital in Burbank.”

Burbank? St Peter’s hospital? What the fuck was going on? “Um, OK,” I mumbled into the phone.

“I’m calling because your number was the only one we could find on a Kurt Jensen.”

I jack-knifed off the bed and clutched the phone in my hand. “Kurt? Kurt is in the hospital?”

“Yes, ma’am. There’s been an accident, and we’re looking for his next of kin. Is that you?”

Was I Kurt’s next of kin? “Yes, I’m his wife.” At least on paper I was.
