Twitch doesn’t give the person time to speak.“Two bikes.Both are in the car safe.Pope is following.”
“Colors?”Raider barks as I hear movement on the other end of the phone.
“Lucifer’s Knights,” Twitch says, driving quickly but smoothly.
“We’re on our way.Don’t engage, just keep them safe,” Raider snaps before ending the call.
It doesn’t take long, and we’re surrounded by motorcycles.Twitch tenses for a split second before relaxing when Mercy pulls up beside us.The group of bikes escort us back to the clubhouse.The car doesn’t come to a complete stop before Raider is there, pulling the door open.He first pulls Rusher into a hug before moving on to me.He drops his head, breathing me in as he holds me tight.
“Fuck, that was way too close.I don’t want to be controlling or tell you that you can’t do something, but goddamn it, I want to demand neither of you leave the clubhouse until this is resolved,” he word vomits.
Chapter Twenty-two
Raider
The decision has been made, and we’re going to war with Lucifer’s Knights, and when we catch Shea, she is a dead woman.I’d just turned my phone back on and grabbed a drink at the bar when Twitch’s call came in.Without question, every brother in the great room saddled up and rode out with me.We found them quickly and escorted them home.Several of the guys went after the fuckers that were waiting outside the movie theater.As soon as Rusher and Anastasia were safely inside the walls of the clubhouse property, I was able to verify for myself that they were safe.
Anvil comes to me with his phone stuck to his ear and an odd look on his face.“Prez, I have a call you need to hear.”
“Grab Terro, Token, and Rhino, and I’ll be right in,” he nods at my command, turning to do exactly what I asked of him.
“I died a thousand and one deaths when Twitch called me,” I whisper to her, planting my mouth on hers.
The kiss that was supposed to start out as sweet turned heated in a flash.I back Anastasia against the side of the car, letting my hand roam her luscious body.It’s not until someone clear their throat that I let her come up for air.
“Fuck, I have to go see what Anvil needs, but do not think this is over.”I kiss her hard one last time before turning to leave her there.
I find the men in Terro’s office glaring at the phone placed in the center of his desk.
“Who we got on the phone?”I ask.
“Oh, Raider, nice of you to finally join us,” Dragon pokes at me.
“Some of us have a life,” I snap back.
“That is true.So, as I was telling your lovely group here,” Dragon starts.“I dropped a couple of gifts off at your Slaughterhouse.They should do well for you.Also, if you pull up the news, you will find that as of about twenty minutes ago there was an FBI shootout during the raid of a motorcycle clubhouse.Leaving no one that wasn’t FBI alive.It’s so very tragic if you ask me.”
“That is quite a coincidence,” Anvil deadpans.
“You and I both know I don’t believe in that.Any who, from my count, you should have a total of four patched members.That is if your men caught the two that were spying on your little family.The only thing missing then would be the Queen Bee unless you know something that I don’t,” Dragon says.
“Nope.Queen Bee is still unaccounted for,” I tell him.“Thank you for the gifts.That’s such sad news about the motorcycle club.”
“Very sad indeed,” Dragon states flatly.“Be sure to let someone know if the Queen Bee turns up.”
“Yeah, we’ll do our best.”I answer, hanging up the phone.
I glare over at Anvil.“Who the fuck is that man?”
Anvil shakes his head, grinning.“His name is Dragon because he hordes information as if it’s treasure.All I can tell you is that we served together a few times.Then he was just gone.Showing up from time to time, just like now.All you can do is appreciate that he is on our side.”
“For now,” I tell him.
“Let’s get loaded up and out to the slaughterhouse.We’ve got some gifts to process,” I tell the men in the room as I walk out.
I find Anastasia, Ainsley, Charlie, and Rusher on the coaches laughing and talking.I stand there and watch them, my heart finally finding a normal rhythm.I thought when Relic betrayed me and threw everything away that I would never feel whole again.There was always going to be something missing from my life.As I stand here watching the Ol’ Ladies and what is hopefully the first of many children sit and enjoy themselves while brothers hang around playing games and just chilling, I know Relic didn’t destroy it all.All he did was show me what I did not want in my club.I walk over kissing Anastasia on the top of her head.
“I need to go take care of some things.I’ll be gone until late,” I tell her.
