Chapter Nineteen

Patsy

I listened to Lost and heard how he’d taken things on his shoulders that he should never have done. In the half-century that I have lived, there’s been rapid change. Even to me, a technologically challenged person, I’ve noticed the pace of technological developments. Lost wasn’t the first or last person to be burned. Nowadays the market seems dominated by just a few platforms, many others were probably lost along the way. He’d done well, was successful for a time, but then, as so many others, couldn’t compete with the big boys.

Rather than be concerned he’d gone the wrong way, I had been impressed that none of his regret was for his personal loss. No, Lost’s concerns were all for his staff who’d lost their jobs, and for that bitch of a wife. He’d given her everything he had, kept nothing for himself. I had my own suspicions of how low he’d sunk that day he’d met Snake. I might not know Kim, his ex, but already, I hate her.

Every word Lost said that he thought reflected badly on himself, just showed me what a good man he was. Caring, not for his own comfort, but for others. Instead of pushing me away, it gave me confidence that he’d move heaven and earth to keep me safe. The only risk was he wouldn’t look out for himself.

I’ve no doubt that’s why he was voted in as president of the club. Everything he’d do would be for the good of his men. Every decision he’d take would be well considered and thought out. I’ve seen how the men look up to him and now understand why, even if Lost can’t see it himself.

If Phil had been like Lost, I’d have followed him through fire, never giving up on the man I married and professed to love. But unlike Lost, Phil’s driving force had been personal greed. The two men couldn’t be more different.

Even if Phil had been an upright citizen when we’d broken up, I still wouldn’t have stripped him of everything he owned. Even when she’d left him, Lost had given Kim every penny and lost himself while doing so.

Lost is a man who doesn’t know his own worth, who’s let his prior experiences rule the rest of his life. What happened has shaped him, made him cautious, made him always think twice. That doesn’t make him weak, it makes him a man you can trust.

He’s now quiet, working through in his head what I’d told him about Alder and the strange information given to me by Alder’s wife. Something I said had resonated.

“What are you thinking, Lost?”

He gives me a shuttered look. I find it annoying. It’s the same look I’ve seen on Demon’s face back in Colorado.

“If you’re going to tell me it’s club business, well, don’t. My daughter’s partner is a member of your club, and I’ve been around bikers and heard the term. Sure there are things you can keep to yourself, but not when it concerns me and my life.
