I reply, still wondering what the heck he did to his appearance. I wasn't going to say anything but the idiot is pressing my buttons. Someone has to put this Donald Trump lookalike in place. Troy gasps, taking offense. "I'll have you know that this," he points to his yellow hair and orange-toned skin, "is from the The Bahamas' sun." Why does he have to say 'the' twice?! Bell shakes her head, disappointed in him. "Too much fake tan, brother," she stresses, ashamed to be related to him. "Amateur."

“Rancid left you something.” Nitro stood up and walked to the back of the room and opened a door. He disappeared inside and returned a few minutes later with a large box, one that would hold an expensive dress. He placed the box on the table in front of Jake and sat down again. Jake opened the box and pulled out the black leather jacket. It felt heavy in his hands and he turned it over. On the back, etched onto the leather, was a burning phoenix with his road name, ‘Wrath’, beneath it. Jake swallowed the lump away and looked at Bandit.

Vincent stepped forward with a little black box Inside lay two bands,his, heavy black diamonds,hers, white gold lined with blood-red rubies.

The sensation was both painful and exhilarating, a brand that marked Liora as his and his alone. Liora’s breath hitched, her eyes widening as she felt the heat of the mark spreading through her.
