Chapter Ten

Maverick did not condone violence, but the Vice of the Hawks had been on his turf way too much in the past couple of weeks. So when Connor had sent him a message that there was a Hawk in the store, cornering a dark-haired woman, Maverick had called out all the guys.

Yes, he was in trouble with his own club for even being involved with Karly. But that didn’t mean he was going to let her get hurt.

Gerald had started an investigation into the allegations about William “Bill” Addler, but he hadn’t been able to find definitive proof either. Everyone had been ordered to look around, find out, put the word to the ground and learn the truth.

And what they’d found hadn’t been any better.

It wasn’t Karly’s grandfather who’d been involved with the Hawks. It was her husband. Bill Addler had ridden with the Hawks for a couple of weeks as a prospect, but then he’d met his wife and stopped coming. Prospects didn’t count as full patch members, and there was no way the Hawks could lay claim to the entire Addler family because Bill had been to two meetings sixty years ago.

But Derrick Lydell, on the other hand, created a whole new problem Maverick hadn’t even been aware of.

The man had been working for the Hawks for the two years before his death, ferrying over people in trouble, cash, and drugs that then got moved into Canada. He’d been paid well for his nighttime activities, and his wife had no idea about it.

At least that was the word Ian had been able to come up with after talking to a friend of a friend who ran the regular ferry line across Forbidden Lake.

“So it was common knowledge?” Maverick had asked.

“On the underground,” Ian had said. And none of Maverick’s club ran on the underground. They were an above-board Motorcycle Club. One of the ninety-nine percent of clubs out there. They weren’t outlaws, or killers, or drug-smugglers.

But the Hawks were, and they’d definitely see Karly as a snitch if they even thought she’d breathed a word about what her husband used to do for them on the lake.

“I don’t think she knows,” he’d told his club, and they’d all agreed. He still wasn’t in the clear, especially now with Bulldog standing there on the sidewalk, extremely unrepentant.

Maverick had sent six men down the road to keep people from coming to the convenience store, and to make sure no more birdies showed up.

He pushed all the thoughts he’d had over the last week out of his mind. Now was not the time to dwell on things he couldn’t change. Jordan had suggested they put a man on the underground, so they’d know things like this, and Maverick was seriously considering it.

“This’ll be your last warning,” he said to Bulldog, who just sneered at him. “I see you or your crappy bike here again, and something’s going to be lit on fire.”

Bulldog laughed. “You don’t have the guts to light the match.
