Chapter Eighteen

JoJo

I glanced back at Charlie, who stared across the bar, looking at nothing. She’d been pissed, no doubt I could have handled it better but damn if I knew how.

I gave a nod to the Bandit across from me.

“Amigo, thanks for coming by.” His boot scooted out the chair across from him.

The Mexican smiled but it didn’t warm his features. “You have good taste.” He glanced toward my woman at the bar. “I have news.” He lit a cigarette and leaned toward me “You’re getting an upgrade in talent. Franco hired a group to put her down. Not the gang trash from before.”

“You know who?” This was what I’d expected, but icy dread flowed through me. Shit was about to get serious.

“Asked us, but we got no beef with other clubs and didn’t take the work, good paying work.” He nodded toward the bar. “Your woman has a hefty price tag, and you’re collateral as far as Vegas is concerned.”

This was the last push. If we could survive this, then Franco should change directions, at least I hoped so.

“Any other good news?” I drank down the whiskey someone had placed in front of me.

“You might have a day or so. I hear there’s another target they’re starting with.” He grinned. “You Brotherhood boys always in trouble for your pussy.”

“You know who the other target is?” I ignored his barb.

The biker assessed her. “The other cop. That’s where the Russians are headed.”

Dammit. I hated dealing with Russians, they were good and had a passion for bombs.

“Russian mob?” I couldn’t believe that.

He shook his head. “Nah, they don’t do Franco’s bidding.”

“Thanks for the information. I know you went out of your way.” I reached a hand over the table.

The Bandit grinned. “Got a present for you.” He motioned me to follow him.

I stopped by the bar and collected my girl. “Go to the bike,” I urged her. She wouldn’t like any of the biker’s presents, but I would.

She glanced at the biker and hurried out the door.

We followed my woman outside. “You picked a damn cop?” He shook his head in disgust.

“Can’t let Rebel have all the fun.” I doubted I had a shot at keeping her. And that sucked balls, but I could only do so much.

“Loco bunch.” He bent down and grabbed a canvas bag from his saddlebag. “Rebel asked me to arrange gear. You’ll find a present in the bushes behind her house, and these beauties are too explosive to leave lying around. Get me?”

I hefted the bag over my shoulder without looking inside. I’d bet on flash bangs and smoke grenades, maybe even the real thing. It was the Bandit, after all.

“Thanks, compadre, I appreciate the assist.” I headed for my bike. I heard his bike start, but I didn’t look back. I stuffed the sack in my saddlebag before kissing my girl. She jumped then melted back into me as I kissed behind her ear then moved down her neck. I wanted to do more but we had life to deal with now.
