Maverick

Three days later...

I WALKED INTO the club and back to the conference room. Ryder and his ex-biker buddy, Reese, were meeting with the Dogs to figure out a game plan. I had been invited into the meeting due to the fact that the Spiders had singled Lily out. Normally, recruits weren’t included.

I arrived to find all of the officers in attendance, along with Ryder, whom I’d already met, and a dark-haired man who I hadn’t seen before.

“Hey, Mav,” Hawk said and nodded at Reese. “This is Reese.”

I gave him a chin lift. “Hey.”

Reese returned the chin lift, and I greeted the rest of the brothers. Crow banged the gavel, and everyone took their seats.

“Right,” Crow said. “Ryder, Reese, give the rest of the brothers some background, and then we’ll get down to business.”

“Reese and I have an unfortunate lineage,” Ryder started. “My pops is Char; his is Brick.”

“Fuck,” Hawk said.

Ryder nodded. “A few of us have formed our own loose group... Spiders’ kids who didn’t want to patch in. We recently fucked up the Spiders’ little trafficking scheme, so they’re gunnin’ for us, but we’ve been able to keep them at bay for the moment.”

“How does Jenny fit into this?” I asked.

Ryder glanced at Reese who nodded. “Jenny’s currently passing herself between Brick and Char. Both men were incarcerated, but recently released on a technicality. Jenny’s promised them things she can’t deliver, but my guess is they’re gonna see what she can give them before they get rid of her.”

“Meanin’ they’ll kill her,” Reese said. “Slowly.”

“Shit,” I hissed. “Outside of Lily, who or what else has she promised?”

“Poppy,” Hatch growled.

“What the fuck?” I snapped.

“And Tillie,” Dad said.

I felt my blood freeze. “She’s fuckin’ fourteen.”

“There’s a market for that,” Reese said.

“Goddammit!” I stood, my chair hitting the wall behind me.

“They’re covered, bud,” Dad assured. “We’ve got recruits on ’em.”

“Older recruits,” Hatch clarified. “And Flea, Buzz, and Train.”

“Flea’s on Lily when I’m not,” I ground out. “I don’t want him distracted.”

“Not the time, Mav,” Dad warned.

“Lily’s protection is my priority, Ace.” I scowled, using Dad’s club name. “So I don’t give a fuck if this isn’t ‘the time.’”

“She’s covered,” Hatch said. “Flea’s on Lily. The others are on the rest.”

“Sit down,” Dad ordered.

I took a beat and then sat down again.

“You interrupt again, Mav, you’re out,” Crow warned.

I nodded. I knew I was pushing my limits. I shouldn’t even be at the meeting—they’d made an exception—so I forced down my rage and did my best to stow my opinions.

“Go ahead, Ryder,” Crow directed.

“We technically ‘stole’ their stash when we liberated several young women from their forced confinement, so they’re lookin’ to recoup those losses,” Ryder explained. “I own the Brass Frog downtown, and I found out we had a mole. He was aiding the Spiders in their procurement of women from the bar. We stopped him.”

“Where are the girls now?” Hawk asked.

“Safe,” Reese said with a grunt.

I watched him. I got the impression Reese had a personal stake in this outside of doing the right thing.
