Chapter 14

Just got out of court. News isn’t good. Emergency meeting of Church tonight, 8PM.

Slider had received Dare’s text before lunchtime, and it’d been eating at his gut ever since. News isn’t good. That could only mean that Jagger hadn’t been set free.

Sonofabitch.

From what Slider understood, the guys on the Ravens’ board—Dare, Maverick, Phoenix, and Caine—had been all over investigating Jagger’s situation ever since he’d been arrested. Though the club had one close friend in the local sheriff’s department, it also had at least one staunch enemy, so the Ravens weren’t leaving it to the cops to be a force for justice when it came to the freedom of one of their brothers.

It just didn’t make sense that Jagger hadn’t been released. Their club’s friend, Sheriff Henry Martin, knew as well as they did that the Ravens hadn’t dumped the oil and tires that’d landed Jagger, as manager of the racetrack, in jail. Not only was Jagger legit brilliant and devoted to the Ravens’ main business venture, the guy had been preparing for the track’s annual licensing inspection, so no way would he have jeopardized that by illegally dumping where the inspector would see.

If that wasn’t proof enough, Alexa’s ex, Grant Slater had told her that he’d do whatever it took to force her to come back to him, even though he knew she was with Maverick. Before his death, Slater had been Frederick’s biggest real estate developer, and he’d had the mayor and at least one of the sheriffs so far up his ass it was almost laughable. Add to that Slater’s years-old grudge against the club, both because Alexa had dated Maverick years before and because Slater wanted the club’s land, and two plus two equaled fucking four.

Jagger was innocent. And justice wasn’t being served.

Which was why Slider was attending Church for the first time in a long damn time. And why, even though he was midshift and therefore driving the tow truck, he was doing it wearing his cut.

It was time he stood with his brothers again.

At the clubhouse, he parked the truck at the end of a row of Harleys, proof that a number of guys had beat him there. He’d been a member of the Ravens for sixteen years, so walking up the steps and crossing the wide front porch of the old two-story inn should’ve felt like coming home. But since he’d been lost for so fucking long, he was still figuring out what, where, and who home exactly was.

Which, of course, had him thinking about Cora.

The only person who now knew the secret he’d kept for so damn long.

He hadn’t been able to hold it in for one more second. Not after nearly taking her head off for doing something he’d planned to do anyway, and not when the bleak look of hurt on her beautiful face had nearly gutted him. It was just that seeing Kim’s things on display in the living room had been a sucker punch. He hadn’t been ready for it.
