The ride to Northwood takes longer than expected, but it is a smooth journey, at least until we arrive at the police station.

One by one, we pull into the parking lot, the loud engines roaring and calling attention to our presence. Two officers standing by a squad car stop speaking to each other, turning their focus on us, their mirrored aviators doing little to hide the scowls behind them.

Gravel crunches beneath the soles of my boots as I climb off my bike and remove my helmet. The rest of the Sinners do the same, and Cain tips his head at the officers nearby in greeting.

“Morning, fellas,” he says, his voice gruff as it typically is though I can tell he’s attempting to take on a friendly tone.

Rather than waiting to see if they return his salutation, he jogs up the few stairs that lead to the entrance. The rest of us follow.

The police department is bustling with activity—phones ringing at the reception desk, officers passing by, some with piles of paperwork and folders, and some with steaming cups of coffee.

A mother and child sit on the plastic waiting chairs, staring straight ahead, void of emotion. There’s a hollow look in her eye as she cradles her son to her side, his ragged teddy bear dangling from his grip.

I find myself staring—my heart aching and longing to help them—but I know I cannot. And it kills me.

Pulling my gaze, I find Damon studying me, his head cocked as though I’m a riddle he can’t quite solve.

I’m unsure of how I feel about Damon. He’s a quiet man, always watching and listening, which I suppose is what makes him so good at his job. But his lack of engagement in conversation and the way he prefers to be alone, even while amongst a large group of people, has me keeping my guard up around him.

I believe he has the best interest of the club at heart, but I can also see the self-preservation trait within him and have no doubt he ultimately lives with an every man for himself mindset.

Cain speaks with the officer behind reception, who looks frantic, as though that’s not their typical place of duty. The man's hands are shaky as he attempts to navigate the phone system and alert his superior of his visitors.

I’m curious as to the relationship between the captain and our president. It is easy to say you have a connection with someone, but the likelihood of that connection being severed at the head without the other’s knowledge—especially in situations such as these—is a possibility.

Northwood Police Department believes the Sinner’s Warlord is behind the robberies, and we’ve walked right into the snake pit.

“Cain?” a deep voice says before the body follows. A police officer with dark skin and a wide smile rounds the corner, coming into view. “Cain fuckin’ Michaels? Is that you?”

Cain's head lifts, and from the angle I am at, I can see a wide smile overtake Cain’s face.

“Javon?” Stepping forward, he
