Chapter Seventeen

Heavy weight left Slade's back and hands lifted him off the Los Li man he'd tackled as he was breaking into the back door of Cactus cove. He grasped the pistol in his hand and stared down at a dead man.

Rain pushed his way in front of Slade and backed him to the wall. "Back down. We've got you covered."

"What?" He looked at Rain, surprised to find his president inside the bar.

"Man, we got you covered." Rain gripped Slade's wrist and pried the weapon out of his hand. "That's it…easy, man."

He glanced at Rain, the dead man, the gun. His fingers curled, yet his hand still vibrated from the shot.

Rain turned. "Take him to Taylor."

Ronny escorted Slade down the hall. He peered over his shoulder back at the man sprawled on the ground. The Los Li member had tried to gain entrance to the bar through the back door. Taylor was inside. His kids were inside. He had to keep them safe.

He whipped his gaze around and found Taylor standing at the entrance of the hallway. He pushed his way through, and caught her as she flew at him.

After a quick hug, Taylor pulled back and put her hands everywhere on his body, under his shirt, down his arms, around his back, even patting down his hips and then his face. He grabbed her wrist. "You okay?"

"Yeah. You?" She dove at his chest again and held on tight.

"Fine." He cupped the back of her head, surprised to find his heart racing. "The kids?"

"They're safe and locked in the back room still." She looked up at him. Angst and worry lined her eyes, which were usually lit up and laughing. "D-did you shoot him?"

He looked down the hall. He'd wrestled for the gun, wanting to grab the weapon before the other guy could get off a shot. In the scramble of the takedown, the barrel of the gun pointed in Slade's ribs and he'd thought of his kids, of Taylor, of letting the madness win, and somehow found the strength to turn the man's hand, until the bone cracked and the gun no longer pointed at him.

He turned Taylor around, so her back was to the dead man. "Everyone is safe now."

He remembered everything. After hell broke loose outside when Los Li opened fire on Bantorus, the club tapped the danger down by returning fire. Los Li members drove away in a long string of cars, heading away from Cactus Cove. He'd stayed outside to secure the area. Somehow, the man he killed had stayed behind and got past security in the back of Cactus Cove, and Slade caught him.

"Honey, Torque's hurt." Taylor slid her fingers into Slade's hand. "Bad."

That explained why the back door was accessible and left unprotected. Slade had gone by himself to cover the back door of the bar and the cabins. "Jesus…," he muttered.

Rain walked toward him. Slade stepped out into his path. "Torque?"

"Gunshot to the shoulder. Ginger got the bullet out as you were coming in the back.
