“So then you perform a little slice and dice and we send him to the boatman with no coins to pay his fare.”

“We need to find out what he knows first.” Fuck.I’m sensing a reoccurring theme in my life right now.

“Alright, but shouldn’t Breaker do that?” Blue asks. “He was the kids’ sponsor.”

“He’s too close.”

“And you need me to keep him busy while Blue does what?” Gator looks between us.

“While Blue searches his apartment.”

“Got it, Prez.” Gator turns to leave, but stops just before he opens the door. “What are you gonna do with the bitch?”

“I’ll let you know when I decide.”

“You got plans to make her a club girl?”

“She’s a teen.”

Gator shrugs. “What’s your point? She’s probably been sucking cock since she was twelve.”

“Shut the fuck up.”

He raises a brow, and a crooked smile curls the corner of his mouth. “Little touchy about a kid you only just met, aren’t ya, Prez?”

I inhale another puff of smoke and stub out the joint in an ashtray. “She’s been through hell.”

“So has half the pussy in this clubhouse. We’re not keeping them for free.”

“Yeah, I know,” I mutter. “This bitch is under my protection until we know what she knows.”

“And what then?”

“I’ll let you know when I figure it out.”

“Alright, but if you ask me, you should at least keep her around as a house mouse. Where the fuck else is she gonna go?”

“I didn’t ask you. Get the fuck out.”

“Yes, boss.”

Gator leaves and I glance at Blue—who’s watching me closely. “What do you need me to do, Prez?”

“You and I are going to search Rat’s apartment, and then we’re gonna pay a visit to an old friend of Wolf’s. Seems he stole somethin’ from our Montana friends, and Wolf wants it back. He’d come himself, but the MC is tied up.”

“And by visit, you mean shit’s about to get real bloody.”

I smile, lean back in my chair, and prop my feet on my table. Blood and innards are my fucking love language. Vengeance and retribution are what I do best.

If only all the problems in my life could be this simple.

I don’t know how to fix a teenage girl who’d been kept in a cage and raped of her childhood.Death, I know. Torture, I know. What I don’t know is what the fuck I’m supposed to do with her, and I keep making one bad decision after another where this bitch is concerned. For the life of me, I can’t figure out why.
