BATES

Istare out over the dark lot of the compound and think about checking my phone to see where Avery is at. Yesterday, Vi took her to a pool. Tonight, they’re both at the house. I’m glad to see that she’s using the trackers. It settles my mind to know where they are. I wonder if—

“Yo. Earth to Bates. You with me, brother?” King says.

“Sorry. I was spacing out.” I shake thoughts of my girls from my head and continue loading my weapons bag.

“I was saying taking the van is a better idea than taking our bikes. Easier to hide and makes us less visible. But I’m guessing that’s not important to you right now.”

I look at my president, who’s expecting me to lead the war we’re preparing for, and shake my head. “I’m good.”

King shoves his hands into the pockets of his jeans. “You wanna lie to me, go ahead. Or do you wanna talk about it?”

“Fine. I wish Avery and Vi were here with me instead of at a house I can’t protect or even get to quickly.”

“I know how that goes.”

I turn to face him. “How the fuck do you know? When you live with your old lady, who is currently inside our clubhouse, safe as anything.”

King shrugs. “You seem to forget I had this noble idea that I should duck out of Rae’s life to make it safer. Left her in Michigan, then came back here and got drunk for two days straight.”

“Oh, shit. Yeah. Forgot about that. Then she drove back here and called you out for disappearing.”

“Yeah, well, I know what it feels like when the woman you love isn’t in arm’s reach to keep safe, when it’s like our number one fucking job.”

The word love stands out. “I didn’t say I loved her.”

“You wouldn’t be spacing out over her and wishing she was here if you didn’t. Tonight, we’re hitting the docks. The details Vex found on the phones of those assholes the other day indicate they expect a shipment of weapons from Belfast for the Brotherhood. We’re going to prevent the handover. Take the weapons. Sell ’em. We’re hoping it’s going to lure their leader out so we can meet him on our turf. I need your head geared to that. You said you’d be my guy.”

I think about Viola’s comment in the kitchen. About how she’d let me love her for the rest of our lives if I weren’t an Outlaw. I was mad when she said it. Still am. But what does it say about me that my President is calling me out and my first thought is still Vi?

“I am. I got this.” The rest of the men come out of the clubhouse.

“Good, then let’s get this party started.”

It takes about two hours for us to get to the docks and get situated. Jasper Haven, our contact provided the paperwork to get in without a fuss. It cost us a thousand bucks, which, in the grand scheme of this war, is cheap.
