“Fine.”

“You’re lying.”

A dim smile graced her lips. “You always knew how to read me the best.”

“So you aren’t well?”

She opened her mouth and I think she was going to give me an honest answer, but someone roaring her name got her attention.

I turned to look at Roach. Couldn’t he fuck off for once? I had finally gotten a chance to talk to her and he started shouting her name.

“WHAT’S THIS I HEAR YOU GAVE UP NEARLY HALF A MIL TO HUNTER?” Roach roared at her.

“How the hell did you find that out?” Abby wanted answers. Her old man had a hand in everything, of course he would know how much she spent.

“That money could have come to the club!”

“Yeah Dad, because you are really going to give them the guns that they will turn on you. Think about it.”

“You’re as involved in running this gang as your boyfriend!”

“I really don’t have time for this shit.”

“It won’t surprise me if you turn completely and help them shoot us up!”

“You and them aren’t at war!”

“We bloody well should be!”

“Why?!”

“Because they’ve taken my daughter!”

Abby groaned. “Are you done yelling at me?”

“No, I want you gone.”

Abby put her drink down. “How many times are you going to kick me out and then ring me to beg me to come back home? I’m telling you, I’m so close to calling it, old man. I’m only here because you want me here.”

“Well, fuck off then. I don’t want someone who is sleeping with my enemy. Running their guns and giving away cash the club could earn.”

“YOU KNOW WHAT? I’M DONE!” Abby threw her hands up, grabbed her gun, phone, and purse, and walked around him.

Their arguments always got everyone’s attention. This wasn’t the first fight they had, and it wasn’t the first time he had thrown her out either.

Didn’t he know we had to keep her close to keep an eye on her? I guess he did, because he would always call her an hour later and beg her to come back.

“WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!” Roach roared at her back.

“NOT YOUR PROBLEM!”

“Come back here!”

She flung around. “No. You don’t control me. The only person I answer to isn’t here. And if he knew I was having this fight with you, he would laugh.”

“So you’re running to your boyfriend then.”

“I don’t answer to Daniels.” She flung back around and stormed out.
