Chapter Twenty-Five

“So, new development in town.” Jayce opened the meeting with that statement. “We all know Devon’s father, yes?”

There were mumbles around the table. Everyone liked that stoner, no one had any problems with him until he’d gotten beat up and hadn’t told anyone about it.

“Just found out that the sheriff position is up for election in six months. And for the first time in six years someone will be running against Downey.”

Tank frowned. That was bizarre; Downey was local, everyone loved her. And the club always threw their support behind her fully. She knew how the town and the MC operated best, and she’d supported it with professionalism since she’d gotten the gig.

“Who’s running?” Tank felt as confused as Fritter sounded.

“Devon’s dad. Good old Archie Turnbull.”

Tank and Fritter exchanged a look, since they were seated across the table from each other. “When did Sharon find this out?” Fritter asked. Tank’s frown deepened. Sharon? Since when was she Sharon to them?

Jayce didn’t catch that oddness. “She called today to give me a heads-up. Last week she got a very angry complaint lodged at her department over the fact that Turnbull’s son got beaten up selling our weed.”

Tank groaned and leaned back in his chair. “Fuck. Fuck! We so don’t need this.”

“We support Downey’s bid for reelection, no question,” Jayce told the table over the mumbled agreement with Tank’s outburst. “In the meantime we find out what the local feeling is towards a change in Sheriff.”

“Does Downey have any idea on her chance of being booted?” Buck asked.

Jayce shrugged. “She never really said. She seemed level, but it’s hard to tell. She’s tough, and she’s got the cop act down to an art. But let’s not forget Archie is a big, bloated fish in this town. He runs a successful business, and we do not need him getting other business owners on his side. Town council’s already full of business owners. I can only imagine what would happen if business got into law enforcement, too.”

“Any way to make it right with the old man?” Knuckles asked, but they all knew that was a no-go.

“Nah. He’s so full of his own importance we can’t even intimidate him. Nor would we want to.”

Irrationally, Tank worried about Rose and her new dance studio. “What about his wife? She in agreement with this?”

“Didn’t you hear?” This from Tiny. “They split up about four months ago. She caught him getting a blow job from the receptionist at the dealership after hours.”

There were chuckles around the table, during which Knuckles tilted his head. “Wasn’t that how he met the wife, too?”

“Doesn’t want to go far for tail. He’s a lazy asshole.”

They all laughed at Fritter’s observation, but no one missed what this could mean. Comfort bred complacency, and Tank’s mind was mulling over any time the MC might have cost a local businessman some profit. There had to be stories out there that could hurt them.

“So now the question is, what do we do with the pot business?” Jayce brought it back to their own livelihoods.
