Roxy shakes her head wildly.“That’s all I know.I swear it.”
I grip the nail on her ring finger on her right hand.“Are you going to tell me what’s happening, or are you going to make this very painful?”
Tears run down Roxy’s face.“There are notes about it all.The woman, the men, the money—all of it.I knew Relic kept the files in his office at the club.Shea told me that if I got them, she would finally let me leave free and clear.I just wanted out.”
I lean in close.“The fact you thought the club would let you live after everything you did not only with Relic, but the death of Jenny and nearly getting us all killed means you're even more delusional than the rest.”
Without another word, I pull my pistol from my waist and place it on her forehead.“When you get to hell, tell Relic thanks for my club,” I pull the trigger.
The action gives me pause as hurting women isn’t something I enjoy or even want to do on a normal day.There are times like today where the only way to clear the cancer from not only our club but that of the world is sending them one-way ticket to hell.The men hanging from the pig hooks are now screaming and begging for their lives, while the man strapped to the table is stone.
Going over to my tools, I grab a blade, moving over to him.“I’m truly going to enjoy this because, as much as Convict over there likes to think he is the man in charge, you and I both know it was you.Which means you have all the information I need.”
He opens his eyes, turning his head to look at me.“If you believe doing away with our club, taking Shea out, and doing away with Relic is going to end the sex trafficking, then you're fucking delusional.”
“My goal isn’t to end it in whole because as long as sick fucks like you are around, there will always be sex trafficking.All that matters to me at this very moment is that the stink of it is no longer polluting my club, territory, and hurting the people I care for.Now let’s see how long you hold your tongue until you tell me exactly what I need to know.”
“Do your fucking worst,” he whispers, closing his eyes.
That’s exactly what we do.By the time we’re done, there isn’t much left of the man.When it got to where even I couldn’t stomach what needed to be done, I stepped away to let the psycho twins take over.And like every other time they set out to get information, the person gives them everything.As we clean up, shower, and get ready to leave the slaughterhouse, Blender and Mercy make their way out first.
“You going to just leave this mess here?”I holler at them.
Mercy stops, looks me up and down and then around the room.“You all know I don’t clean up my own messes.I’ll catch you later, Prez.”
“Fucking assholes,” I grumble, turning to help the guys clean up the absolute mess we all made of the men.
Dragon comes over to me and for the first time I see a look of concern on his face.“Did you see what those two did?”
Chuckling, I shake my head.“Many times I’ve seen this.To be honest, this is tame.”
“Yeah, no.”Dragon shakes his head, walking backwards toward the door.“Anvil as great as you are, I am out of here.Those two make my skin crawl.”
Several of the brother scoff looking at him in complete disbelief.
Anvil shrugs.“Big bad Dragon scared of the psycho twins.Don’t worry.As long as Prez is around to keep Mercy in check so Mercy can keep Blender in check, then there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
“The lot of you are fucking crazy.I’ll see y’all on the flip side.”He throws a hand up.“I’ll be in touch.”
A round of chuckles follows his exit before we all tuck in, getting the place cleaned up and bodies gone.

After most of the guys leave, we settle in to watch a movie until Remedy comes through the door with a ball glove in his hand.
“Hey Rusher, want to go toss the ball?”he asks.
“Heck yeah,” Rusher bounces up, looking down at me.“Ma, you wanna come too?”
“I don’t have my glove.It was at the house,” I tell him.
Rusher looks disappointed before Pope comes down the hallway.“It’s a great thing that you’re staying with a bunch of ex-ballplayers.We have a ton of extra gloves.What do you say to a pickup game?”
Rusher’s eyes light up with pure childlike excitement.“Please, Ma, we can get Charlie, Ainsley, and even whatever brothers are left here.It would be awesome!”
I pretend to think about it before smiling at him.“Let’s go.I’m not on your team because I’m going to kick your butt.”
