CHAPTER THIRTEEN

(Jolene)

My vision funneled, the rest of the room fading away to black. I was floored and embarrassed to be so affected by Ronin’s personal life. We hadn’t been together in years, until last night. And it’s sure as shit not as if I had been celibate.

To each their own, carpe diem, and all that other bullshit.

“Are you gonna say anything?”

Using my tongue, I wet my lips. I blinked a few times and picked back up my pen, jotting down the information. “We’re you together all night?”

“Yes.”

The one simple word split my heart in two.

Fighting back the sob welling up in my chest, I looked down at the paper. “I’m going to need a time frame.”

“Jo, I didn’t even think about this when we talked about you being my lawyer. I don’t want to be the reason you’re in pain.”

I glared at him and waited.

“I don’t know. Got to the clubhouse around eight. Was there all night and woke up sometime after ten the next morning.”

My breaths became shallow and quick.

“Do you really have to talk to Angela?”

“Unfortunately for me, yes. I also need the names of everyone who was there that night. As well as the times they came and went.”

“Dammit Jo, you know I can’t remember all that shit.”

I slammed my pen down on the table. “Well, you’re going to have to try. I can’t do this on my own. If you don’t care whether you go to prison or not, then why should I give a shit?”

“What the fuck just happened?” He narrowed his eyes and shook his head.

“I’m trying to do my job. I don’t think you realize that you can be behind bars for the rest of your life. Is that what you want?”

“Of course not.” His loud voice echoed off the dingy walls. Everyone turned their heads to stare, prompting him to lower his voice. “I thought we were working together. You hear some stupid shit about another female and get all bitchy. What the hell am I supposed to do with that?”

“You’re supposed to get the information that I asked for, and the sooner the better.” I slid out of the booth and marched out the front door.

I hopped on the back of Herc’s bike. “Can you take me to the clubhouse?”

He nodded. I was thankful that he wasn’t much of a talker and not asking questions. I didn’t have to bother holding on because he drove extra slow, probably because he was worried about upsetting Pop – or Ronin. He pulled through the alley and around the back of the two-story building.

“Hey baby girl.” Ruth gave me a quick squeeze and went back to flipping through receipts. “Damn vendors are taking me for a ride.”

“Somehow I doubt that.”

Ruth glanced over at me and smirked. “So, what brings you out to the bar this early in the morning? Where’s Ronin?”

I shrugged and plopped down in the vacant chair. “Don’t know. I left him at D&Ks.”

Ruth’s face creased. “You’re not out alone are you?”

“Are you kidding? Herc’s been keeping a tight hold on the leash.
