The guys have me.
The guys have the rat.
“Where’s Jimmy?” I turn to Jag.
“He’s not here.” His face is blank, giving me nothing to go on.
“Does anyone know he was here?”
Jag shakes his head. “We had Sneaky too. I don’t think anyone knew they were here.”
“Good.” I pause and try to find a way to ask what I’m wondering. Rats don’t live for long once they’re found.
“Does it bother you?”
Of course he knows what I’m thinking.
“Probably not as much as it should.” Honestly, snitches make life more complicated. They put everyone in danger, especially if they’re working with the cops.
Jag nods, and his eyes flash over my head. “She wanted to come out.”
“We don’t know that it’s safe,” Knox says.
I pivot. “Then why are you and Crow out here? If you guys get to put yourself in danger, so do I.” Lifting my chin, I stare up at him with a defiant wrinkle between my eyebrows.
“I guess you have a point,” he finally says.
Sirens whoop in the distance. He pinches his eyes shut and grinds his jaw. Crow tells a few people to go inside and help Lor out. The club is notorious for being the local arms dealer, but just how many weapons do they have on sight?
“How worried should we be?” I ask quietly.
“There’s a deal next Wednesday. It’s enough to put us all in prison for life.”
I’m not sure the guns are any better than the drugs Wrecker’s known for distributing, but part of me is relieved there are no heavy drugs around. After seeing the shape Nova was in, I don’t want to be anywhere near that stuff.
Blue and red lights flash over the sunset-shadowed clubhouse. Knox sucks in another calming breath before pasting on a nonchalant look. It’s a little disconcerting to watch the emotion drain from his face. Crow and Jag do the same. I’ve had years of practice and my face draws into a hard mask offuck around and find outin under a second.
I guess the only good thing about the situation is I know I won’t be going to jail. I haven’t done anything wrong.
Silver linings are everywhere if you know where to find them.
CHAPTERTWENTY-SEVEN
KIKI
“You know lying about what happened can land you in jail, right?” the lady cop squints at me.
After the cops arrived, everyone was brought in for questioning. It took seven squad cars to get us here. The guys went into questioning first, and shortly after I was pulled into my own room. I’ve been grilled for the past twenty minutes about the incident.
I sigh and give her the same answer as last time. I give her the truth. “All I know was that I was playing pool and then all of a sudden there were explosions.”
“And who would want to hit the Hell Hounds like this?”
“I don’t know, I just got here.” I lift a shoulder. “I’m sure you know they wouldn’t tell an omega about club business.”
“You expect me to believe you don’t know what these guys get into? Your dad’s Kiren Malone.”
His murder was never reported, so she doesn’t know he’s dead.
