Chapter Five.

Lindy – Present day.

I locked the doors behind Mary and watched her walk to her car through the small window. My hand lingered over the panic button, and I was aware my baseball bat waited by the door. Not only was that close, but my gun was up on the shelf, hidden but within reach. After I got jumped, I’d never taken mine or my employee’s safety for granted.

Spice and the MC had helped ease my fears, but wariness still lingered. Not that I had to worry about David. I hadn’t thought of him in years. All this reminiscing Spice and I had been doing clearly dragged up some old memories.

David Higgins, man whore of Camden and father of at least forty children that we were aware of, was long gone. Spice had handled that.

Mary’s car lights came on, and I watched as she reversed and drove away. She was an innocent sweetheart. I’d taken Mary under my wing the moment the girl applied for a job. Mary’s parents were fuckin’ assholes. Devout churchgoers, they judged everyone and everything. They’d never set foot in my shop.

Which meant Mary was safe. While I didn’t know what had happened between Mary and her family, something clearly had. Through the grapevine, I’d heard she had been engaged to be married to the preacher’s son. Next thing she wasn’t and had been excommunicated from their church. Two days later, Mary wandered into my shop and asked in a quiet voice if I needed help.

The truth was, I hadn’t, but a girl like Mary had no place being on the streets. And that was where she’d slept before I hired her. I informed Mary she’d work five days a week and could have the apartment above the store. Three months ago, a leak had flooded it, and Mary was now living in a heavily discounted house owned by the club. Which had meant us finding Mary a car that was cheap but reliable.

Spice teased Mary and made her blush, but I knew he liked her and her polite, calm ways. I guess for Mary, my shop had been something of a culture shock, but she’d been desperate. The kind of desperation that led to stupid mistakes—and sometimes death.

Happily, I looked out over my domain and smiled. I had two buildings knocked into one. The second half was crammed with decorations, all sectioned neatly off. You could rent anything from me from Halloween to Christmas to the 4th of July. In fact, I needed a larger area, and Spice was on the lookout for either a bigger building or buying the shop next to me. Upstairs was full of fancy-dress costumes and accessories. If you wished to be Wonder Woman or Harley Quinn, come and find me. The shop rented as well as sold them.

Besides the costumes, there was a section for expensive dress hire. Oh yeah, this biker bitch understood what a Versace was now, and I possessed several dresses women could rent out if they needed to.
