Chapter Nine

With all of his men gone, Duke stood and went to the window overlooking the main back yard of the clubhouse. He’d installed a play area for the kids some time ago, and often he’d stand at this window and watch them play.

There had been many times he’d watched Holly as well, keeping an eye on her, hoping she’d take advantage of the other old ladies watching their babies so that she’d sneak into his office, and they’d get some alone time.

“You don’t think this is a bit extreme? Going to Capo, arranging this?” Pike asked, pointing at the cool box where he’d placed his present for Abelli.

Diaz, Raoul, and Pike had captured the man who’d been asking a lot of questions he should. Duke had simply removed that head from his body. The moment he’d gone to the basement and begun talking with Abelli’s man, hearing that Francis wanted to know everything that was going on in the Trojans MC,

Duke had lost it.

Between nearly losing his wife to whatever fear that had gripped her, the loss of Russ and Sheila, the pain he felt at the core within his club, he’d snapped.

The little messenger had paid the price with his life.

“The Capo wants them gone, Pike. I heard a story many years ago of someone who was in Abelli territory. He was asking a lot of questions, and so Francis Abelli did no more than take the man, torture him until he was unrecognizable, and then made an example of him by displaying his head on a pike within one of his warehouses. He’d done it to send a message out to anyone that would dare talk about him with anyone else.” Duke looked at Pike. This was his right-hand man. The man he trusted to have his back.

Their wives were the best of friends, and he knew without a doubt that if anything happened to him, Pike would take care of his woman and kids, no questions asked.

“Sounds … crazy.”

Duke nodded. “Abelli sent a messenger into my town and thought he could get away with it. I told him to leave us alone. I made it clear that under any circumstances he shouldn’t make an enemy out of me.” He’d kept Anton alive, and when Francis had come into the room, he’d made it clear that he would make Abelli’s life a misery. He’d threatened to turn all evidence he had on Francis Abelli over to the police, to let them deal with him.

Francis had decided to leave, and promised not to return.

That hadn’t lasted long. Between the flowers sent to his woman, and the guy walking his streets, whatever niceties that Duke had intended had long gone.

Maybe he was making a big deal over nothing. His club wouldn’t stand down, nor would it give in to monsters like Abelli.

He wasn’t a rat.

There’s no way he’d hand anything over to the cops. Duke dealt with his problems himself, and the Trojans didn’t walk away from a threat.

“I won’t let him destroy this club.
