Chapter Seven

Dole

Taking my future wife and the mother of my children on a date feels important.

Just a few nights ago I wondered if I would ever settle down. If I would ever find the right woman for me. Then I found her. Breaking the law, no less. If someone else had been on duty or I had dismissed her demand for mashed potatoes, who knows how this could have ended.

Grinning as I set things up for our date, I don’t give it a second thought. Della Crest is my fate. My future. Pulling her over was no fluke, we would have found one another here in Driftwood. Her best friends live here, are married to or engaged to friends of mine. It was all going to come full circle for us, I have no doubt about that.

Starting the fire in the deeply dug firepit, I throw some logs on it just as my phone rings. It’s about time, too. Getting away from Della long enough to set this up for us was difficult. Mostly because if I am not on duty, I need to stay on duty taking care of her. Keeping her safe from that scum who could come looking for her.

Let him come look—we will be ready for him if he does.

“Thanks for getting back to me, Preston,” I say as a hello.

“I’ll hang up you call me that again,” he threatens with a chuckle.

“Sorry. I appreciate you calling, Panic,” I will owe a lot to Panic if the leader of the Driftwood Disciples comes through for me.

“Might not when I call this favor back in, brother. Got some news about that problem. Hawk knows a guy who knows the name. Acosta is low-level slime working his way up. His crew is at war with Monetti’s crew up in Silver Shores, but it’s bleeding down into Sunset Springs and True Ridge. Which big boy Briggs does not appreciate.”

Cursing, I nod my head at the mention of both Hawk Palermo and Bolton Briggs. Both former military, I know of them but have never met either man. All I know about them is shades of gray. They’re not bad guys but they’re on their side of the law. Briggs was a lethal special forces commander and no one in True Ridge or anywhere near it messes with him or his Foxtrot Freight team.

Hawk is on the darker side of the law, running with another MC, but he spent some time here in Driftwood. Preston is his cousin, or so they claim, walking a similar path. In a club with other misfits who never fit anywhere else, so they created their own place.

Panic’s MC brothers are rough, dangerous men. They don’t hurt people unless they’re forced to, they don’t take anything that isn’t theirs, and they protect their people. They also scare the shit out of most of Driftwood which is why calling him was a risk I had to think about before reaching out.

It was not a hard decision—I won’t let anyone hurt Della.
