Page 50 of His Flawed Ride
He calls Leo and puts the call on speaker.
“Have you sorted out the cash to get your sister back yet?”
“Don’t need to. He dumped her outside the motel, beaten to a pulp. I want your permission to kill the fuckin’ lot of them.”
“I get you’d want to escalate the war for your sister, but I can’t allow it.”
“Leo, you haven’t seen what they’ve done to her. Beaten… raped…”
Leo hisses over the line. “Slade. Listen to me, brother, I will not give you permission to go on a suicide mission with only three brothers in a city flooded with Hades Hogs. It’s not a risk, over Lily, I’m willing to let you take.”
“You’re my president and I…”
“And you’ll listen to me. Do not retaliate, Slade.” The warning is clear in his tone. It leaves no room for a misunderstanding on Slade’s part.
“She’s my sister,” Slade sobs then quickly gets himself together.
Leo softens when he says, “I know, but the club is bigger than a woman who knew exactly what she was getting into. Come home…”
“Is Lily allowed to return?”
“For now. When she’s healed, we’ll reevaluate.”
The call ends and Slade goes to throw his phone when Zach grabs his wrist and stops him.
“Mom will be pissed if she can’t get a hold of you. It’s not worth the few seconds of release.”
Slade nods then punches the wall. “Where’s Myles?”
I answer him, “He’s gone to find a van. He wants leave when he gets back.”
“And we will. One of you find a store and buy bottles of water and painkillers. She’s gonna need relief when she wakes for longer than a few seconds.”
I stroll down the street to the local store and grab everything Slade needs. I pick up another pack of smokes and make my way back to the motel to see Myles is back with a van.
Slade’s bike is missing from where it was parked before I left and by the time I join my brothers, Myles and Zach are heaving one of the motel matrasses into the back of the van.
Glancing into the back of the van, Slade’s bike is strapped down tight and so is Zach’s.
There’s little room left for the mattress but enough to see her home, more comfortable than sitting up front. Father and son carry out a broken Lily and lay her down on the mattress, her whimpering in her dazed state.
“Let’s get the fuck home,” Slade barks.
Chapter Nineteen
Leo
No one can see me as I watch on from the corner of the bar. The urge to pop a bullet into Nora’s head is on the verge of taking over me.
Stood with the sheriff, Nora is getting yelled at by Harry’s sister and Grim stands beside his old lady not putting an end to this shit show. The sheriff keeps glancing around but I’m not going to step in and help her do her job. I need to see how Nora deals with this.
“Tell me where he is!” the sister shrieks losing all of her patience.
“I can’t keep telling you the same thing if you don’t listen!” Nora yells, but it’s the guilty fucking glances she throws Grim that has me not believing her so how can the sister, especially as she’s the one who’s looking for guilt.
Pulling out my phone I shoot a text to the sheriff.
Get this shit sorted.
