Chapter Five

“I want in, Cain.”

Cain didn’t look up from where he was going over their plan of attack one last time. “You know I can’t allow that. Too close to home for it to be personal. He comes back to the clubhouse, have at him. Otherwise, you’re off this.”

“I can’t stay here and do nothing. She needs me to be there with you.”

“She needs you to be the last line of defense between her and Bunny Girl.”

“Cain, she’s afraid to name the child because Levi’s still out there. I can’t stand seeing her cry over this!”

“It will all be over soon. If it helps, be there with Data when it goes down. He’ll have eyes and ears on us at all times.”

“If it were Angel, would you sit it out willingly?”

Cain finally stopped what he was doing and gave his brother a hard look. “I’m president of this club, Trucker. I get you. I do. But we’ve had too many close calls here lately. It’s bad enough I’m getting the club involved when one of those fuckers we’re getting ready to off was on our property. Redding’s henchman might not be in the sheriff’s department, but if the bastards are missed, the real police will come knocking if they backtrack ‘em. I’m doin’ it because it’s the right thing to do. That woman and her child will never be safe until this is done. Now, I’m askin’ you to respect me in this. Be with your woman. Take her mind off this, ‘cause I know it’s all she’s thinkin’ about right now. Play with her child. Solidify your place in her life, because there is no question in my mind you’re the man for her.”

Trucker laced his fingers behind his neck, head down as he tried to stem his frustration. “When do you guys leave?”

Cain didn’t answer for a long moment. “Not sure. We’re still planning. I’m going through several different scenarios to see which poses the least risk with the maximum chance of success. I don’t want anything leading back to us.”

Trucker took a deep breath. “Fine. I’m sorry. You understand where I’m coming from?”

“I do. If I were in your shoes, I’d sure as hell want fuckin’ payback. But I have to protect everyone involved. That includes your woman. And you.” He punched Trucker’s shoulder firmly. “You get me?”

“I do.”

“Then please, Trucker. Stay here with your woman.”

Cain never said “please” in regard to an order. You followed his orders or you were out. The fact that he did this time told Trucker the man truly understood how he felt. It was that knowledge more than anything that gave him the strength to sit this one out.

After taking several deep breaths and walking around the clubhouse a few times to find some kind of calm, Trucker went back inside. He found Helen with her daughter in the common room. Suzie, one of the teenagers who’d “adopted” the club back in the summer, was holding the baby while Helen showed her how to give the girl a bottle.
