A TALL, HEAVYSET MAN in worn biker leather with a thick dark mustache filled Butler’s doorway.

Butler lowered his weapon. “Come in.”

“Thought I’d see you at the hospital,” the man muttered, stepping inside.

“Been there the past two days and nights straight. Came home to get some sleep, something to eat,” replied Butler, glancing over at me. “This is Tania. Tania, this is Reich, Nina’s brother-in-law from Ohio.”

I moved into the living room. My eyes darted to the patches on his colors. National Vice President, Flames of Hell, and Ohio were stitched on his cut. My eyes darted to the patch with his road name, and a shiver laced my insides with ice.

Reich, as in Third Reich?

“Hello,” I said. “I spoke with Deanna on the phone the other day.”

“My old lady,” Reich said, his eyes scouring me like sandpaper on wood.

“You saw Nina?” I asked.

His lips twisted. “Course I did. Deanna’s still with her. I had to get outta there. Hate hospitals.”

“What’s going on?” Butler’s voice was low and steady.

Asphyxiation threatened me in Butler’s suddenly tiny apartment.

Reich threw himself onto the sofa, and Butler’s phone and the guitar thunked to the carpeted floor. Unfazed, Reich settled back, throwing his arms along the top of the couch.

“You tell me. Explain to me what the fuck is going on out here in this one-horse town? You were supposed to be looking out for her. What the hell? The device was planted in her car? Whose target was she, and why?”

I took a few steps back and bumped into the kitchen counter. I shouldn’t be here.

I didn’t want to be here.

“The Broken Blades in Nebraska got real unhappy with us working with the Flames of Hell and ripping up their Calderas Group deal,” said Butler. “We’re betting it’s them.”

“So, they targeted Nina to get to you? Nice.”

“We got a dead prez to show for it,” said Butler.

Reich only made a face. He didn’t give too much of a shit.

“Jump got Nina out of the way, you know,” I piped in. “Nina is alive now, thanks to Jump.”

Both men stared at me, as if they’d forgotten I was even there in the first place.

“Tania, you should go.” Butler’s voice was even, low.

“No, no, no,” said Reich, eyeing me up and down. “Why should she go? This your whore?”

“Hey!” My back shot up.

Butler raised his hand between me and Reich. “Tania’s a friend, a civilian. She’s a friend of some of the Jacks’ old ladies, and she’s a friend of mine from way back. She’s not—”

“Right. Yet she’s always at your side, ain’t she? That why Nina was crying so much?”

“She’s scared after what happened,” Butler said through gritted teeth.

Reich’s head dipped. “You were cheating on my girl, weren’t you? Dragged her out here to this hole in the middle of nowhere, full of promises and dreams, and then you dumped her and did your thing, right? I knew about you from the start, but I figured—she’s got a baby coming now!”

“That’s not how it is!” I blurted.
