Chapter Nine

Roxanne

I was in shock. I had been on my own for a long time, and that was the first time I had ever had to hold someone at gunpoint. I had just gotten comfortable and was settling in when I heard voices, and then Zeus started to growl low in his throat in a way I hadn’t heard before.

I remember being in Missoula and training Zeus with Zeke, the K-9 trainer I had happened upon, and thinking about how ridiculous it was to be learning commands that would tell my dog to attack, to act fierce and be ready to attack, to counter all the dog’s instincts and instead trust that he would obey my commands only. As soon as I got to a point where I could reach out, I needed to tell Zeke about how perfectly Zeus had handled the situation.

I was pulled out of this reverie when Scratch walked over to me and handed me an ice-cold bottle of water, saying, “Alright, Gypsy, let’s get you settled in for the night. Give me your keys, so I can park your car after I take you and killer over there to your room.”

I tossed the keys to Scratch, and he caught them by the fuzzy ball keychain. He shook his head and smirked, though, rather than saying anything about it.

He led me out of the main area of the clubhouse and through a door I hadn’t noticed before that led to a long hallway with doors spaced out on the far side. He stopped at the last one in the hall, which was evidently the only open one, and ushered me inside.

Thankfully, there was a bathroom built in with this room, so I went to the sink and cupped some water in my hand to splash my face while Zeus climbed onto the bed to get comfortable, a luxury he wasn’t accustomed to.

I dried my face and then slipped out of my shoes and lay down on the bed next to my snoring dog. That’s how Jinx found me when he unlocked the door and stormed in about a half hour later.

“What the hell was that, Roxanne?”

I jerked to attention and sat up. Even Zeus was awake and paying attention now. “What?” There was no finishing that thought, though, because he ripped his shirt over his head and yelled loud enough to get a cautious woof from Zeus.

“Are you fucking stupid? You could have been killed!”

The argument I had prepped myself to give died on my tongue, and I just stared at him.

“Those are bad guys. Since the Beachside Bangers started getting active in this part of the state, crime rates have doubled,
