Colby's POV

"What the fuck do you mean?" I asked angrily. "The men have gone crazy. They're killing eachother left and right, you have to come back." Jeremy said as I nodded.

I knew that this would probably happen, but it didn't change anything.

None of them were allowed to leave until I figured out who was trust worthy.

"Have any of them tried to talk to Will?" I asked and put my hand on my head. "No. I'm the only one who has access to the room." Jeremy said as I nodded.

"He's still there, correct?" I asked with a sigh. "Of course. He really wants to talk to Julia." Jeremy said as I rolled my eyes.

"It's not happening." I said then started pacing the room.

"Get everyone who is alive and get them in the conference room. Tell them I'll be back in a couple of days and that I'll deal with this then. Tell them to stop killing others and to just relax." I explained.

I knew this probably wasn't going to solve any of the violence and to be honest I didn't care if they all killed eachother.

It would make leaving the crime world easier.

Leaving has been on my mind for a long time but after everything that's happened to Julia, I knew it needed to happen.

Julia deserved a normal life, with no harm or danger.

She deserved more.

"Okay, man. I'll try to calm them down." Jeremy said as I nodded. "Thanks, Jeremy. See you in a couple days." I said then hung up.

"Everything okay?" Nate asked as I shook my head. "My gang is feral." I said with a sigh.

"Just don't know what to do next. I should let them all kill eachother so I don't have to deal with it." I said with a sigh.

"Whatever happens I know you'll do the right thing." Nate said then clapped his hand on my back.

"Yeah. Thanks, man. For everything." I said with a sigh. "Anytime. Are you gonna stick around for a little while?" Nate asked as I shook my head.

"Gotta take Jules back to the house." I said with a sigh. "Poor girl has been through too much." I said then put my phone in my pocket and turned to leave the room.

"Yeah, she's a strong girl. She'll get through this with the help of you. You're doing a good job." He said as I shook my head.

"I got her into this mess. She doesn't deserve it." I said then walked into the room Julia and Sam were in.

Julia was sitting on the couch, her legs folded to her chest. She was trembling and her eyes were filled with tears.

Sam was sitting next to her, quietly reading her a book. It warmed my heart that Sam was so gentle with Julia.

He loved her like a sister and it was all I could ask for.

"Ready to go, sweetheart?" I asked causing Julia to look up at me. She nodded then looked at Sam.

"Thanks." She whispered then stood up. "Any time, Jules." He said then looked at me.

"Maybe I can bring the girls over to hang out later." He said as I took Julia's hand.

"Yeah, I'll let you know. Thanks for everything." I said then turned to leave the room. "Are you hungry, Jules?" I asked as we left the house.

"No." She whispered, letting me lead her out of the house.

"We should probably get some sort of food in you. It's not good for you to be without food." I said and led the way to the car.

Julia shrugged then got in the car. I sighed then made my day over to the drivers side.
