Snippet #2750438

Chloe watched as the Devereaux met back up at one of their vehicles, she overheard them talking about needing to take James to the hospital. “Gosh, why did he have to do that…” Chloe said under her breathe as she pulled out her phone and made a call to the hospital. Even though it was in the neutral zone, she still had some contacts there loyal to her name. “Hey it’s Chloe. A Devereaux is about to come in for a leg injury. No, I don’t want you do deal with him. Get a room ready, no one fucks with him. I don’t care what you have to do, you will get paid good for this.” Chloe said before handing up the phone and heading back to her car.

Chloe dusted off her jeans and threw her vest in the back seat before taking off down the street, taking the “scenic” route back to her apartment. She weaved and sped by other cars, her mind racing to what had happened. She had kissed James, and then he saved her from being crushed by some falling debris. Chloe pounded her fist on her steering wheel. What the fuck Chloe. Kill the Devereaux, don’t fucking fall in love with them she thought to herself, rounding another corner before parking her car in front of the apartment.

“Unfortunately, they are all alive. One had an injured leg, another just a cut or two on their arm, heading to the hospital. Is mom okay?” Chloe said as she walked into the main apartment their family used as central operations, they had a doctor made a house call to patch up her mother since it was just a flesh wound. Her father debriefed her of what happened before the gun fire. There was some talk of peace, but somehow Chloe’s older and deceased brother came up, and one of the Devereaux said something that pissed off and triggered her mom, and thus a gun fight happened. Chloe dropped her pistol off and took her knives back to her place, she would probably be up most of the night worrying about James, so she thought she should at least sharpen her knives while up.
