~* * * *~

The sun was almost up by the time Raine and Cricket got back to the clubhouse in Troy.

When they got off the bike, three members came to stand behind them.

Raine knew they’d been sent out to make sure Cricket didn’t run.

She walked on her own power inside and when they got there, they saw Deke and the others standing at the main table glaring at her. Cricket walked over to where Deke was standing.

Deke raised his hand and slapped her hard. “Where the fuck have you two been? We didn’t know what happened to you. We thought Bane had killed you. We thought he’d come back here and kill us all.”

Cricket stumbled back but didn’t fall. Nor did she cry.

Raine growled and took a step toward Deke. “Dammit, let her explain!”

Cricket stepped in between the two men. “You know Bane is my uncle. You all heard he was married to my mother all these years. What you might not have heard was when she left him to run away with my father, they took something that belonged to Bane. Bane has wanted it back all this time and he’s been looking for them for 25 years. Because they are long dead, I was the only one who could find it and return it. He didn’t give me a choice. He told me he would give me a week to find it and return it or he would start killing each and every one of you. That if I told you what he had planned, he’d know and would start the killing without warning. I didn’t run away. I had to find what my parents took from him and get the damn thing back to him. I came back here honor my word to you.” She looked around and saw their expressions.

Each face held a bit of rage and a bit of fear on them.

“I couldn’t let anyone die for something you had no part of. I couldn’t allow Bane Jessin to murder anyone. I had to see if I could find what he was so willing to kill for.”

“And did you find it?’ Deke growled as he ran his fingers through his hair.

“Yes, I did.” Cricket nodded. “I found it and I returned it to him.” She stared at him for a moment then she spoke again, “I couldn’t tell you before I left, because I didn’t know if I could find it or not.” She gazed around at the others and shook her head. Tears ran down her cheeks freely now. “Don’t you see, I couldn’t let that monster hurt anyone I’ve come to care for. I didn’t care about myself but I couldn’t let him hurt anyone else.”

“What was the item Grace and Orrin took from him?” Sam asked.

“It was a small apothecary jar filled with diamonds, rubies and emeralds. Also inside the jar was a key. The key was to an old safe handed down to him from his grandfather. You see, when Grace and Orrin left his home they put something in the safe for him to find.
