Hunter
By Sapphire Knight
*UNEDITED* sneak peek!
Chapter 1
"You with me, Philip?" Viking asks, after the others easily pledge their support.
"Of course," I rebuke. We're brothers, I will always have their backs and this mission is no different. My loyalty is theirs as is my knife, should they need it. My fingers rub over the leather of my cut. This MC is my life, I'd be lost if I didn't have their support.
"So we're headed to an island," I rehash. "Have you discovered any more information about it yet? Has your mermaid finally found her tongue?"
He shakes his head at my flippant comment about his new woman not speaking. "There's a bit of dense forest on parts of the island. Keep your wits about you, we don't know what we're stepping into. We'll split up but not too far away from each other so we can get help if needed."
"Sounds like a plan." I easily agree and strap on my long bowie knife. My gun is next, along with my bullet proof vest. I neatly fold my cut, gazing at it fondly before setting it down with a promise to return to it. There's no telling what we'll find, and I don't want anyone to be able to identify me if something unsavory goes down. I have a dark feeling about what we’re about to walk in to.
Leaving the comfort of the clubhouse, we climb on our motorcycles. The ground vibrates with the thunder of our engines as we head for the docks. We'll be taking a sketchy route out to the island. Before I ride across any sand, I'll be trading my beast for a Jeep that a buddy of mine offered to let me borrow. He's grabbing the other shit I requested as well. When I called and let him know I'd be in the area, he was more than happy to help and more so when I offered to compensate him for it. Being a bounty hunter, I've met many people in random spots and over the years some of them have become useful.
The poor women Viking found, well, she deserves to be avenged, every woman treated poorly deserves her very own savior. We just so happen to wear a leather vest and ride a motorcycle, doesn't mean we can't be our wicked version of heroes if needed.
The ride is swift, the club moving with one purpose in mind. Vengeance. We will never allow such evil to exist as long as we're breathing. I lower my kickstand, climbing free from the white beast of a bike. My knife rests heavy against my side, and brings a sense of comfort. I like to call it my truth seeker as it hasn't let me down yet.
I quickly grab for anything I may need out of my saddle bags and fix the straps on the bullet proof vest. Once I've checked out the gear in the back of the Jeep, and arrange everything how I want it, I hop into the driver's seat. My knife stays on me at all times. I also keep a handgun in the cubby next to the gear shifter for easy access, as well as a shotgun resting beside me on the center console. The few guys I normally ride with load up into the Jeep with me, weapons on the ready.
We wait for the signal from Viking and once he's ready, we take off. The ride to the island is sketchy as fuck, but doesn't take long thankfully. Not that I would back down or anything, I live for this shit, for the hunt. I veer off towards the right. I won't stray too far from the pack, but this direction has a bigger clearing and besides, I work better with just a few guys versus a cluster.
"Watch our six," I mutter to Charmer, though it's unnecessary. Diablo, Briar, Charmer, and I have worked together long enough, our roles have become more habitual than anything and we tend to revert to our designated jobs in sketchy situations.
"I’m not seeing anyone, not even a lookout.” Briar comments as he stands in the back, holding onto the Jeep with one hand and a pair of binoculars with the other.
“All clear back here,” Charmer calls in return.
“Not a fucking thing here either,” Diablo notes wearing a scowl. His lips are always turned down into a brooding frown. “Malevolent is probably seeing more action watching our bikes than we are out here in bum fuck Egypt.”
Charmer snickers, Briar remains vigilant, and I snort. I’m not arguing with the guy, he’s probably right. We can usually peg a situation fairly quickly. It’s probably what makes us so good a being bounty hunters. “I wonder if it’s this quiet on Viking’s side of the island?” I murmur as the trail grows remarkably tight. We’re battered with thick brush reaching for our flesh inside the Jeep’s open doors for a time before I call it and stop the Jeep. “Jesus, I wasn’t expecting the area to be so dense. It’s a goddamn forest! I guess we’re on foot from here, boys. Climb out through the top.”
“I knew I wore comfortable shoes for a reason,” Charmer points to his shiny black boots with one hell of a rubber sole.
“More tennis shoe than boot, fucking pretty boy.” Diablo ribs.
“Don’t get pissed big guy cause your boots are shit kickers and squeeze your fat toes. Maybe you should take my fashion sense into consideration next time.”
Diablo growls in response causing us all to chuckle.
“Okay fuckers, get serious.” I order and we go into stealth mode. You’d never know we were coming unless we wanted you too. We go about exploring, quietly. I know they’re still around me because we’re in tune to each other’s sounds. Too many years working together to not be able to sense the other.
“Definitely people here,” Briar mentions after a while. “I’d say under ten, regularly. Maybe five or so. Probably more over time.”
I nod, having picked up on similar clues. Charmer and Diablo close in around us, divulging, “There’s something over here. A structure of some kind.”
“A house?” I clarify.
Charmer shrugs, “Not sure, it reminded me of an oversized burrow.”
“Fuck,” Diablo sighs. “There better not be scorpions or some other crawly shit.” His big frame shudders and my lips twitch in amusement. He’s a hefty mean fucker, but bugs creep his ass out.
“Go with Charmer and check it out. We’ll vet this area to see if there’s any others.” I tell Diablo and he heads off in the direction Charmer appeared from.
I nod forward to Briar and he moves in sync with me. “Check the trees,” I order quietly, keeping my gaze pegged around us for people and traps. We move about twenty feet into the thick forest, before his strong grip lands on my bicep with a squeeze. I instantly halt in my tracks, meeting his gaze. He gestures with a chin lift and points.
There’s a small foot and ankle in sight, the rest of the owner is hidden behind a massive tree and brush. I catalog the foot. It’s dainty, probably a woman or young boy. The skin is pale and filthy. I sign, telling him I’m checking it out and to stay put. This is my business, so any upfront risks, I take them before these guys. I figure it’s more my responsibility than theirs, besides, I’d never forgive myself if they were hurt on my watch.
With careful, quiet steps, I creep to the moss covered tree. I’m standing directly on the opposite side and work to quiet my breathing as well as relax my pounding heartbeat to be able to hear properly. I wait a second, then another, and again, another. I can’t make out any sounds that aren’t my own, so I meet Briar’s gaze and sign to him that I think the person is dead on the other side.
His gaze widens, but he holds fast, waiting for me to tell him differently. My guys know their willingness to take my directions could mean life or death for any of us so they trust my orders. Eventually I chance a look, checking for weapons. I’m met with creamy skin and tattered clothing. It’s a woman, a young one in rags. Her light blue dress is ripped and tied in several places, I’m guessing to hold it together on her petite frame.
