He turned as Bear came into the room. “Levi’s resting and will be okay. A couple of broken ribs, some cuts and bruises. Sunny hadn’t hurt him too much, he was just getting started.”

“That’s good. I’ve called church, let’s talk,” Chance said and tilted his head in the direction of church.

Bear nodded, his eyes lighting on Callie with suspicion. She held his gaze for a few seconds before dropping hers. Bear stared at her for a few more minutes, and Chance wondered if he was going to say anything. But Bear turned on his heel and walked towards church.

Callie

It took an hour for every fucking brother to arrive and head to church. Whatever was going on in there was loud as people shouted over one another. The old ladies had headed to see Levi with Madisen upstairs, which left me with Jinx. Jinx was busy doing stuff behind the bar, so it didn’t take more than a few seconds for me to slip away.

I knew where the cells were. Clio had once let their location slip, and I found them easily. Sunny lay on a bed behind the first cell, and his eyes widened as he saw me.

“I hope you can pick locks,” I said and handed him a hair clip.

Sunny started laughing. “You never fail to surprise me!”

He got up and, grabbed the clip from me, and began working on the lock. It took a couple of minutes, but he got the door open.

“Now what?” I asked as he kissed me.

“We get Levi. Somehow, he has the answers.”

“He’s surrounded.”

“No, he ain’t!” Levi said from behind me, and I spun around.

“You can’t have Sunny,” I hissed.

“I do not fuckin’ want him. But Sunny’s correct. Primal gave my name for a reason. I must have knowledge of something. However, we need to get out of here. The club is voting on what to do with Sunny, and I don’t see it going his way. I’ve got an SUV outside,” Levi said.

Sunny and I exchanged glances, and Sunny shrugged. “Ain’t got nobody else to trust.”

“Damn right,” Levi ground out as he winced.

Together, Sunny and I followed Levi up the stairs and out into the open. An SUV was parked outside.

“Sunny, you drive. Just getting here fuckin’ hurt.” Levi tossed Sunny the keys and got in the back, where he slumped down.

I hurried around to the passenger side and climbed in as Sunny jumped in.

“Let’s figure this shit out,” Sunny said as he started the engine.

“Yeah,” Levi agreed and closed his eyes.

“Do you need anything?” I asked, worried. Sunny drove away, but not towards the gates. “Where are you going?”

“There’s a back way out of here, it connects with Lavender’s property,” Sunny replied.

I nodded and repeated my question to Levi.

“I need this shit to end. We gotta figure out who the traitor is and why. The suspicion is killing us all,” Levi muttered.

“Agreed,” Sunny said. Sunny hit the highway, and I pulled out some money I’d taken from his stash.

“I gathered you wouldn’t want to return to the safehouse, so I brought cash,” I stated.

Sunny tossed me a grin. “Clever girl. We’ll book into a hotel and figure this out.”

“Get a fuckin’ king-size, I need to lay down,” Levi griped.
