Summary
Don't you know that I'm the type of man who is always on the roam?
Wherever I lay my hat, that's my home."Who runs your gang?" Ashton asked. "Who's your boss?"
Niall looked equal parts reverent and fearful.
"Liam Payne," he replied, referring to one of the most infamous felons in all of America. Payne was a notorious gangster whose gang the Hornet Mob was involved in criminal activity and owned one of the most renowned Speakeasy establishments in Chicago.
Ashton felt cold but he couldn't deny the excitement bubbling inside him as several things fell into place: his late father's mysterious job and the drugs, the unanswered questions and the conscription, and especially Niall's reaction when he had learnt Ashton's surname.
"Would he let me join?" Ashton asked.Ashton learns that home can mean people and not places, and that fitting in is not the same as belonging, but it takes a broken heart, double-crossing a gang, and almost losing everyone he cares about before he realises this.
