“THA’ BASTA BOKE MA fuggen noad!”

“I oughta get you to the ER, Luther,” Jimmy Sundberg said.

“Nuh-uh! I ficket ub masep.”

“Okay, whatever man. But Clay’s gonna be pissed, I bet.”

Meaning at me, Axton thought through the haze of pain that filled his throbbing head. Pissed off at me for messing with the new guy, right.

“Lebbe wurra boudat.”

“Sounds like he knocked the English out of you,” Sundberg replied, but he was smart enough to wipe the grin off his face as Axton turned on him.

“Oo dink is fuddy?”

“Hey, man, no! But Clay’s not gonna think it’s funny either. You know what I’m saying?”

Axton knew, all right. He’d skipped the new boy’s party, stashed the guns, then gotten liquored up alone and drafted Sundberg for a personal surveillance mission. After Cooper saved his life, no less.

So, what the hell was up with that?

He didn’t trust the bastard. Bottom line, he felt something was out of whack with the major, and his duty as the NMM’s chief of security required Axton to use initiative in tracing and eradicating any threat to Halsey or the army that they’d built together.

Admittedly, the bit where he got lubricated with Jack Daniel’s whiskey was a tactical mistake, no doubt about it. After Halsey had sent him off to hide the AKs, a delayed attack of nerves had set Axton to trembling, thinking of the smelly biker with his fingers clamped on his throat, squeezing the life out of him, and he’d had a drink to mellow out. One didn’t do the job, exactly, so he’d chased it with a few more, getting nice and loose.

Before he had the bright idea.

Okay, so what if Cooper couldn’t be a cop, the way he’d started wasting Comancheros right and left? That didn’t mean he was a fit addition to the team. Halsey should know as well as anyone—better, in fact—that crazy people were attracted to their kind of operation like flies to an outhouse. Some were so far off the beam that they even scared Axton, and that took some doing.

Worse yet, in his view, was the risk of subversion by other so-called “patriots.” Competing groups wasted a huge amount of time reviling one another, trying to seduce members away from this or that assembly, burglarizing offices to rip off mailing lists, you name it. Axton knew one guy who’d wormed his way into a rival group, incited them to hit a synagogue on Yom Kippur to “teach the Jews a lesson,” then tipped off the law and skipped before his stooges walked into the ambush.

Not that he had anything on Cooper, yet. The prick was squeaky-clean and totally gung-ho, from all appearances. Too good, in fact, for Axton’s taste. Try telling that to Halsey, though, when he had no evidence to back it up.

So, he’d gone looking. Screw the whole he-saved-your-life thing. Cooper couldn’t very well go back to Halsey with the guns and two dead soldiers, could he?

Staking out the Desert Palms had been a fair idea. Seeing the
