“Now what?” Tamara asks, placing ice on my knuckles, insisting I need to do this, but I’ve never done it before. She’s like a mother hen sometimes. No one has looked after me the way she does since I was a little kid. “What is Jessica supposed to do?”

“We’re going to take her to your place and talk with James and Thomas.”

“We’re going to take her?” She raises an eyebrow, staring at me and no longer making faces at my bloodied hands.

I nod, wincing as she presses harder than necessary because she’s too busy gawking at me. “I need to talk to them myself. I have to get her name cleared so she’s not on the run forever.”

“I can talk to them.”

“Do you not want me to come?”

“Of course I want you to come, but don’t you have to pack your things?”

“I threw the important shit in a duffel, and the rest the guys can pick over.”

Eagle stalks into the clubhouse, running his fingers back and forth against his hair. “This is some bullshit. You should’ve put that man in the ground.”

The guys are pissed. They wanted blood. They craved retribution for a woman they barely knew, because she gave birth to me. Although I want the man dead, now isn’t the time. With a warrant out for my mother, and the electronic tracks he no doubt left, if he went missing and anyone realized it, all roads would lead back to her or us.

“He has two broken arms now. It’s not enough punishment, but it’s a start,” I tell him as Morris walks in behind Eagle, whistling a cheerful, awkward tune. “What’d you do?”

“Me?” Morris presses his hand to his chest, looking innocent. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Why are you so happy?” I ask, lifting Tamara’s hand away from mine, giving her a small wink.

“Called a buddy of mine at the sheriff’s. He picked up the asshole and was just going to hold him for twenty-four hours, but…” Morris laughs.

“What?” I ask.

“Dipshit has a warrant.”

A smile immediately covers my face. “Nice,” I mutter.

“It’s a doozy too. He is going to be locked up for a long, long time.”

“Huh.” I laugh too, picturing him with two broken arms, trying not to become someone’s bitch. “Didn’t see that coming.”

Morris fishes four beers out of the fridge, placing one each in front of Tamara, Eagle, and me, and keeping one for himself. “He had an attempted murder charge hanging over his head from Florida. He won’t get any bail because he’s a runner, and if we’re lucky, he’ll get the longest sentence allowable. Jessica shouldn’t have to worry about him anytime soon.”

I tip my bottle to him. “Nice work.”

“Well, it’s a damn good thing we didn’t kill him,” Eagle adds, which gets Tamara’s attention and has her head turning so damn fast.

“Would you have?” she whispers against the rim of her beer.

“Never,” he tells her, glancing at me for only a second. “We’d never do anything like that, doll. We’re civilized human beings.
