Steven waited outside, smoking acigarette.
“How is she?”
“Fine.She made a mistake, andnow Michael can have her within his clutches.We’ve got to stopthis from happening.”Climbing into the passenger side, he waitedfor Steven to start up the car.“Take me to theclubhouse.”
“Tiny and Eva made it back.Angel is looking after all the kids with Tate.Murphy ordered hiswoman about for a change.You’d have loved to see it.”
“There’s no way thathappened.No one orders Tate around.”Killer disagreed.In all thetime he’d known Tate, no one got the better of her, not evenMurphy.
“It was pretty cool to witness.She was doing the whole ordering about, shouting and shit.Murphywent up to her, grabbed her around the back of the neck, kissed thefucking life out of her and then ordered her out of the clubhouse.Her position is to look after their son, and she was to do it.I’vegot to give it to him, Murphy has got balls to do that toTate.”
Killer chuckled.
The relationship between Tateand Murphy was something of a mystery to Killer.Still, his friendloved Tate,and because of that, Killer respected it.
“Is Eva there?”
“No, Tiny is.He’s sent her homewith their kids as well.Alex is back, and they’re all waiting foryou.”
Nodding, Killer sat back.It was late, andhe was tired, but until Kelsey was safe in his arms once again hewouldn’t rest.
Steven rambled on for the rest of thejourney.
Climbing out of the car,Killer headed insidethe clubhouse to find all of the men sat nursing a drink.Theylooked up at him as he entered.Killer walked out of the officelooking tired.
“It’s about time you turned up,” Tiny said.“What have you got to tell us?”
Killer discussed in detail everything fromMichael’s appearance to Kelsey’s suicide along with his suspicionsabout the Michael’s business dealings to the club.
“The lawyer hasn’t found anythingyet,” Murphy said.“To all appearances Michael Granito is a respected member ofsociety.He pays his taxes, and all of his businesses are aboveboard.”
“He needs to look a littledeeper.I’m telling you that man is hiding something,” Killer said,determined to do whatever was necessary to keep his womanprotected.“We need your help in this.”He looked towardAlex.
“Me?I’m not some crook-findingservice.”
“No, you’re a Skull throughand through,” Tiny said.“You’ve got the men who can make this lookmore like child’s play.”
“Fine, I’ll do what is needed.”Alex walked away grabbing his cell phone and starting a call as hedid.
“Right, in the meantime, Sandy isstaying in the hospital.Is that okay with you, Stink?”Tinyasked.
“Yeah, she wants to keep aneye on Kelsey.I don’t think I could order her away even if Iwanted to.”Stink spoke up for the first time.
Everyone in the club knew Stink had athing for the doctor.They all stepped away giving him the time towoo her.
“Good, she’s our eyes andears.”
“I’m not leaving thehospital.If he visits her I want to be there to make sure hedoesn’t try anything funny,” Killer said.
“Tate’s going as well.She’s going to try to see when she can,” Murphy said.
Tiny nodded.“I know she’s not an oldlady, but we’re going to treat her as such.I don’t agree with whatshe did to you, Killer.She better make it up to you.”
“Thank you, Tiny.I appreciateit, and she will.”
“I’m going home to kiss mykids then fuck my woman.Do you think you can keep this placefucking working for the next couple of hours?”Tinyasked.
They all nodded watching their leaderleave the clubhouse.
