No need
Hera POV
Every single one of them turns to look at me. Anger. Hatred. But in his eyes,I see something different as he regards me.
Doubt. Confusion.
" I knew this woman was a Snake." A lady referred to as Helena from earlier sneers. I keep my face unreadable and my posture straight. I don't cower from their animosity. That's not whom I am.
" That's such a heavy accusation, don't you think?" Raven intercedes but they all turn to glare at her. She shrugs, unbothered.
"She was seen with him." Helena points a bony finger towards me,her expressions ugly.
" She planned everything with that bastard Carlos Tevez. She seduces Viper and takes him away then her accomplice storms in here and attacks." Someone from the team accuses then turns to look at Mason.
" You conveniently brought the enemy among us and opened the doors for them." The accusations keep on coming, but my eyes are fixed on one man who seems lost in thought and confusion.
" What do you have to say for yourself? Are you not going to say anything?" Helena snaps and I narrow my gaze at her.
" What do you want me to say?" I ask and she snickers. " Indeed. What would you say? I don't think anyone wants to hear any explanation from you." She adds. She doesn't bother to conceal her hatred.
" I want to hear it." He finally says, his gaze fixed on me. Mason walks back to me,his gaze searching, piercing.
" Did you meet with Carlos Tevez?" He asks and I nod. I hear his crew members scoff and shake their heads,but I ignore them.
" Did you know him?" He asks again.
" Yes,I know him." I answer, my voice calm.
" Did you plan the attack today?" He asks, his gaze hard and unyielding. I hold his gaze,not allowing him to intimidate me.
" No." I say, my voice steady.
" Are we supposed to believe that crap?" Helena hisses.
" Since I said it,you should believe it." I say in a calm tone.
" There's something I don't understand. Who are the people who helped us? There's a team that arrived while we were attacked and dealt with Carlos Tevez and his men." Zero steps forward and I look at him. His gaze is not as angry as the others. He however doesn't meet my eyes.
" Someone helped you?" Mason asks, puzzled and Zero nods.
" They were clothed in black and had their masks on. However,I can tell they were ladies." He explains and I hide a scoff.
" That's something we will figure out later. Right now,we have to deal with this traitor. She is responsible for the death of Gazelle and Fiona lying in that hospital bed." Helena accuses.
" And how would you prove that?" I ask her.
" We have evidence that you met Carlos Tevez secretly last evening . You also acknowledged it yourself. What more do we need to know you were part of this?"
" What do you understand by the term secretly?" I snicker and she glares at me.
"If I had something to hide,you wouldn't even have got any footage of me meeting whoever you are saying. Just because we met briefly with your suspect,I am part of that too." I say,my voice calm and collected.
" Don't twist words." She hisses.
" But you are the one doing just that. Do you think I will be dumb enough to meet Carlos Tevez where it could easily be detected? Or do you think I am dumb enough to meet someone without having my back covered? If I had planned something,you would have had a much worse situation to deal with." I snarl at her.
" I don't have anything to do with what happening. I won't repeat myself and I won't offer any explanation whatsoever." I announce and turn around to leave.
" Where do you think you are going?" The man with the footage, the one they referred to as Ghost asks.
" Anywhere away from the lots of you.I don't know what's going on with you guys, but you are wasting my time. You should be investigating why your club was attacked just when most of your members were out. From the look of things, there's a mole among you people. For a clubhouse fortified as yours,you incurred such a damage? It's clear the Intruders had all the information they needed about this place" I tell him and turn around with every intention of walking away.
" That's rich coming from you our main suspect. You have all the information about this place that the enemy needed. We don't need a mole to be sold out." Helena comments and I laugh.
" I have all the information? What Information? Is your clubhouse an abandoned warehouse that I can study within a span of minutes when I came here? I only came here once?"
" That's how good a traitor can be. One visit and they have the entire place memorized." She insists.
" Oh please. That's a lame excuse. You are just looking for an excuse to blame it on me. Your club has a problem and you don't have a clue as to where it's coming from. So,you decided to lay the blame on me because it's easier. That way, you don't have to look into yourselves." I snap at her.
"Until you find who is selling you out, I'm leaving." I declare
"You will go nowhere,Hera. You have a lot to answer to." Ghost grabs my arm and pulls me back.
" How dare you hold her hand? Do you think you deserve to come into contact with her skin." A familiar voice rings followed by hurried footsteps. The three visitors walk straight to me and bow.
" MG." They all say in unison. Nyx then hands my Beretta and I smile at her. She then turns around to face the bikers in the room.
" You are all a bunch of ungrateful bastards. MG saved your asses and you dare put the blame on her?" Nyx hisses. I can feel her anger bubbling.
" What's happening here?" Raven asks. I can see confusion on all their faces. Mason however has his gaze on Nyx, scrutinising her.
" I have seen you before." He declares and Nyx being hot headed and with a sizzling temperature scoffs at him.
" That's right,we have met before. Got any issue with that?" She snaps back.
" Aren't they part of the group that helped us earlier?" Zero asks then turns to look at me.
" Do you know them?" He asks. Before I can answer,Nyx points her twin pistols at him.
" Don't you dare question MG so casually. Who do you think you are?" She seethes and they all step up, pulling their guns. My team does the same. Despite being out-numbered,they don't take a step back.
" Put that down. That's not the way to go about things." I try to intervene,but the damage has already been done.
" Why are you protecting him,MG? These bastards are putting the blame on you." Nyx points her gun at them and I sigh.
" I should have let them be wiped out. What a bunch of ingrates." Nyx curses.
" Nyx,stand down." I say in a firm tone and she hesitates.
" Nyx." I warn her and she slowly lowers her gun,huffing. The others follow suit,though Mason's eyes never leave her face.
"Who are you exactly,Hera?" Mason asks, looking between Nyx and I.
" Who I am is none of your business. And don't you dare address her using that name." Nyx snaps at him and Mason looks taken aback.
" How about we all calm down, okay?" Zero suggests.
" No need. I don't want to stay here a minute longer." I declare then point my Beretta towards Helena. I fire three shots, narrowly missing her left ear.
" Next time I won't be kind to miss." I warn the now terrified woman. I turn to look at Mason and sigh.
" I want to be disappointed,but I can't. Not because I want to excuse you but because I feel like it's not worth it."
" You want to know who I am?" I ask and continue to shoot two shots on the floor.
" That should tell you who I am." I declare, turn around and walk away with Nyx and the two others following behind me.
