Chapter Five

Church was full. Every member of Salvation’s Bane had made it to the meeting, even those not at the clubhouse. All of them were stoic and focused on the orders Thorn was handing down. “Harrison will show up. When he does…”

“We invite him into the lions’ den.” Ripper finished. “We killin’ all of ’em?”

“Not if we don’t have to. Jason Harrison, though, does not leave this place alive.”

“Gonna be witnesses,” Ripper said. “I can fuck with any city cameras pointed in this general area, but there’s bound to be someone who sees them heading this way. Ain’t exactly rural.”

“Blood?” Thorn turned to the man they depended on to take care of any mess that might lead back to the club. The man was ruthless and, more than once, had been called on to silence wayward tongues.

“Kill those who need killin’,” he said softly. “I’ll make sure the rest are appropriately ignorant should they be asked.”

If Blood said he’d take care of it, it was as good as done. His methods might be questionable, but Thorn had learned that, in most cases, it was best not to question his cleaner much. Or at all, really. Done was done.

“Good. Work with Beast if necessary,” Thorn said.

Blood shook his head. “No. This is on me.”

Thorn raised an eyebrow. That meant Blood anticipated trouble. Which meant any “convincing” he had to do in order to keep quiet any buddies Harrison brought with him, wouldn’t be pretty. Or gentle.

“Ripper, you hear anything on them?”

“Yeah. Our boy’s inquiring about a gun. Wantin’ something unregistered. Inquiring in all the wrong fucking places, though.”

“Assume he’s able to pull it off,” Thorn said. “Prepare for an armed enemy. We’ll welcome him until he proves what he’s after. Then we’ll finish it.” He rapped his knuckles on the table, their signal church was adjourned, and everyone got up.

After everyone left, Beast hung back. “You sure ’bout this, Thorn? I mean, I’m behind you a hundred percent, and Jason Harrison deserves to die hard. But are you sure about his buddies?”

“They come here to harm my woman, then yes. I’ll kill the little bastards and won’t lose a second’s sleep.”

“You sure ’bout her?” Beast held Thorn’s gaze steadily. Thorn understood. Beast needed to know where Thorn’s head was. He couldn’t blame his brother. If they were going to kill, it needed to be worth the cost.

“I’m sure. She’s mine.”

Beast snorted. “She know that?”

Thorn shrugged. “Mostly. She’ll understand soon enough. I’ve been trying to take it easy on her. She’s been through a hell of a time.”

“Mama and Pops both say she’s recovering nicely, though Pops says he worries she’s not fully acknowledged the loss of her child. Could be an issue for you down the road.”

“Yeah. I’m aware. I’ll help her work through it.”

“You sound awfully confident. She opening up to you?”

Thorn hesitated. “No. But she will.”

Beast just shook his head, offering a derisive snort. “Yeah. She knows she’s yours, all right. Might want to clear that up first. Then worry about this other shit.
