Jax's POV
She had a right to be mad, but she didn't have the right to tell me that I was like her stepfather. I would never do the things that he has done.
The things that sick bastard did to her were awful. The more I sat here thinking about him, the more I wanted to kill. The thirst for blood on my hands was increasing by the second.
I abruptly stood up and left my office. If I couldn't kill that bastard myself then I was going to have someone do it for me.
I walked outside and called Valarie. She was my best tracker. I needed her to haunt this man down.
"Look up where Nick Johnson is right now. Send me the location when you find him."
I hung up the phone and got in my car. I sped off down the road with one thing on my mind. I was going to bring this bastard to my house and torture him for the way he treated Sky. I knew that the last time he did anything was the day I left.
I was mindlessly driving around until I got the whereabouts of Nick. I wanted blood and I wasn't going to stop until I got it.
I pulled up to his house and put the car in park. I pulled my phone out and messaged one of my workers. Miles was someone that I knew I could trust around Skylar. I let him know that he needed to keep Skylar occupied and take her to the room. Once I was sure that he received my message I turned my phone off and hopped out of the car.
I walked up to the front door making sure that my gun was in the holster. I took all the bullets out except for one. It was more interesting that way. I kicked the door down and walked in unannounced. I made eye contact with a woman who was playing with a little boy. I smiled at her and walked around the first floor until I spotted my target. I had a clear shot to the back of his head but I wanted this to be fun.
I tapped his shoulder with the butt of my gun. He spun around. He looked at me and rolled his eyes. He doesn't know who I am anymore. The last time he saw me I was still in school.
"Hey, Nick. Long time since you've seen me huh?"
He didn't respond. Strike one.
"I'm not going to repeat myself."
Strike two. I repeated myself.
Footsteps sounded in the hallway until they came to a complete stop. The female voice sounded shaky when she questioned me.
"Who are you? What do you want from us?"
I didn't answer her. I just turned and smiled. She was caught off guard which made it easy for me to grab her and put my hand on her neck. I would never kill anyone that didn't deserve it, but he didn't know that.
Once he saw that I had his girl he instantly started talking.
"H-hey man that my girl and my son's mom. What do you want? I'll give it to you just let her go."
I got the response that I had wanted. I let her go and pulled my gun out.
I pointed it right at him and said, " I want you to come with me. You've done some things to my girl."
He was reluctant but walked out of the room with his hands up.
I put my gun away because I didn't want his child to see it. We walked outside and I pulled him by the nape of his neck.
"Tell your girl what you did. NOW."
I knew that she was at the door listening to our conversation.
He pulled away and walked up to her. I decided that he didn't have the privilege to speak so I interrupted him.
"This man that you have a child by physically abused his last girlfriend's daughter. He trapped her in this house right here and beat her to a pulp when her mom wasn't around. That little girl was only 10 when this started. He nearly killed her, but her mom found out and stopped him. Ask him where that scar came from on his face. The last time something like this transpired was the day I left. Five years ago. She was only 17. Do you want someone like him to walk freely?"
The woman was so shocked and disappointed. She looked at him for confirmation. She looked up at me and nodded her head as she spoke.
"Kill this sick bastard."
That's all I wanted her to say. I grabbed him and threw him in the car before speeding off.
I pulled up to the house and pulled him out of the car. I wasn't going to be gentle with him. Nothing about me is gentle. I grabbed the nape of his neck again and pulled him into the house. I hummed as I walked down the stairs with him trailing behind. I heard a loud crack as his body made contact with the last step.
That had to hurt. I called a couple of my men down and filled them in on who he was and what he had done. Once I was done I could tell that they all wanted him dead as well.
One thing my men couldn't stand was a man who would deliberately put his hands on a child or woman for no reason.
Flashback
Nick had a weird obsession with hitting Skylar. He would wait for her to get home from school and hit her before running off like a little bitch. I could tell that she was bruised when she came to school the next day. She was too scared to tell me who it was, so I walked her home one day and saw that bastard waiting for her. I walked up to him and asked who he was and why he was waiting there.
Instead of him answering me, he just tried to hit me. Of course, it didn't work. I struck him in the face and threatened to kill him if he ever came back here. I guess he kept his tabs on me because the day I left Skylar she called me crying saying that she had been hit again. I was in no shape to help her because I was already gone and I was told not to help her because then she would be in more danger.
Flashback over
I told them to tie him up and torture him every hour until I got some of my work done. I knew that once Sky found out she would be afraid of me. I decided that I would keep it a secret for as long as possible.
I was far worse than him. If she was deathly afraid of that man, just imagine how afraid she would be of me.
Three hours later
Jax POV... Again
After completing a few documents I decided to head to the basement. I wanted to kill this fucker tonight.
I walked in and saw blood and smiled. I picked up my black jade knife and walked over to him.
"When was the last time you touched Sky?"
I had to try and get the answer out of him because I knew that five years ago was not the last time. I knew she was going to tell me that though.
"I didn't touch that little bitch."
I stabbed him right in the left thigh, splitting his bone in the middle. His bloodcurdling scream was like music to my ears.
"I'm not going to ask again."
He still didn't answer so I twisted the knife.
"When was the last time you touched my girl?"
He looked up at me before spitting in my face.
I saw red. I threw my knife and kicked him square in the face with my steel-toed boots. I heard a nice crack and smiled. I just broke his nose. He held his hands up just as I was about to kick him again. I placed my foot back on the ground and looked him in the eyes.
"I ran into her last month. I-i I was drunk I didn't mean to do it, man, I swear."
"What did you do?"
My calm voice threw him off so much that I could visibly see him shaking.
"I-i grabbed her and shoved her down."
That's all I needed to hear. I shot him in the head and smiled at his now dead body. I looked down at my hands as saw that they were completely covered in blood.
I called my men and told them to get rid of him. I went inside my office and walked into the bathroom that was connected. I hopped in the shower. I need to wash this blood off before going to talk to Skylar.
I somehow had to tell her that I just killed her stepdad. This is not going to be easy.
