“With a name like Woody, he probably would get one up on me since I’d be too busy laughing at his name. Now, enough bullshit, Reginald. Who and where is this Woody wood peckerless, Katrina and Raven? Be a good lil fucker and give us what we want, and we’ll talk to the DA for you.” Pratt advised, glaring at Reginald, staring him in the eyes.

“Fuck you, bitch! I don’t have to talk to you, cunts. Lawyer! Now!” Reginald yelled, glaring at both women with a smirk on his face.

“Kermit and Houston are outside with the van. They’re going to take twinkle toes here and McBride so we can question them. Nadia is on her way to handle the LAPD and help investigate this hellhole. Once we’re done with them, then we can get them into the department. Her captain is aware of the situation and is backing us up!” Diesel advised Pratt, walking towards the door as a knock sounded.

Once the office door opened, Pratt, Sgt. Brocard and Diesel escorted Reginald and McBride out of the back door to the waiting van where Kermit, Houston and Cowboy were waiting, with smirks on their faces. Giving all three men a nod, they placed the two in the van and stood back. They watched as Kermit gave them an injection that would knock them out so they couldn’t see or ‘calculate’ where they were going guestimate how long they were riding around. They were taking no chances.

“We’ll meet you guys at the house in a few. We’re going to talk to the receptionist for a few, then turn her over to the LAPD for them to do their investigation. Nadia’s captain knows what’s going on and is supporting this. We’re off duty and not here in a cop’s capacity, so he’s looking the other way. For now,” Diesel advised the others.

“Nadia stated that the Red Dragons have been a thorn in their sides for ages, but always stayed under the radar. What they’ve been learning about the Golden Fangs has their mayor and the governor now scared of them coming into California.” Sgt. Brocard advised the three men.

“Not only that, if the Golden Fangs move in, there’s going to be an all-out war between them and the Satan’s Outlaws. It’s going to be even more bloody than the Golden Fangs have doled out and it could be long. The Satan’s Outlaws are not a small gang like the others the Fangs have taken out and they are not pushovers. They will strike back and have no cares who they take out with them. My money would be on the Satan’s Outlaws.” Pratt admitted, her hands sliding into her back jeans pocket.

“I’m with Red on this. My money would be on them as well. California is their turf. I know they have chapters elsewhere, but California is their home turf. They will defend it to the death. Fangs are small compared to them, so they will lose.” Sgt. Brocard agreed, crossing her arms across her chest.

“Wait, I have an idea!” Pratt perked up, biting the inside of her lip as she looked over at Diesel with a twinkle in her eye.

“I don’t like that look in her eyes!” Cowboy admitted, looking over at the other two men who stared at the three women curiously.

“Set up a meeting with the head of the Satan’s Outlaws big man and give him the heads up on what’s happening in Cali?” Diesel answered in question knowing what her teammate was thinking.

“I think that would be awesome. But we know they don’t like cops!” Sgt. Brocard huffed, shaking her head. “They may not meet with us if we tell them we’re cops, and we want a meeting with them.”

“We won’t have to be the one leading it. Isn’t Viper one of the big boys in the biker world? Didn’t he broker a deal with them when it comes to getting word on his sister’s disappearance?” Pratt asked, looking over at Kermit, Cowboy and Houston.

“Wait, you want Viper to set up a meeting with Jackson Delbert, the head guy for Satan’s Outlaws, so you three can say ‘hi we’re cops and this is what’s going on and we want to warn you because oh yeah we’re getting in the middle of it but you can handle the dirty work and we’ll help the LA cops look the other way?’ you realize how absurd that sounds, right?” Kermit laughed, holding his stomach as he bent over.

“Yeah, that’s exactly what we want. As Viper’s wife, they will listen to me despite being a cop. Showalter will attend as Odin’s sister. We’ll have that as leeway. Plus, we’re warning them, if they aren’t already aware. And yes, where this is concerned, they touched my daughter. I’m not here as a cop. Yes, I’m using my badge to get in where I need to, but they fucked with the wrong cop. I may not have raised her, but she’s still my flesh and blood. I will use any and everything I can to find her and get her to safety. That also includes Viper’s little sister. If Jackson Delbert can help us find both, then you’re fucking right, Kermit. I will use everything within and without my power to find both Raven and Bella Marie. Right now, we’re in Los Angeles and that means using the Satan’s Outlaws to their fullest capabilities.” Diesel informed Kermit darkly.

“All I have to do is have Dom make a call to a particular godfather, or two, and we can make sure it’s all swept under the rug. Is it ethical? No, but I’m with Diesel here. You fuck with my child or one of my sister’s crotch goblins, I will use everything in my power and every fucking card I have on someone to get them back. If it results in you dying, then so be it. I’ll sleep like a fucking baby, and so will every other parent out there because that’s one less fucker to mess with kids out there. If I have to turn in my badge because of it, then so be it. I have other talents to fall back on. Hell, I have enough saved up to start my own business to do what cops can’t do. Like Diez said, we’re not here as cops. We’re here as mothers, sisters, daughters…women fighting back against someone who wants to use, abuse and harm us or someone we love.” Pratt venomously informed the three men.

“We come in peace, beautiful! We just don’t want you three to get into trouble. We support you guys no matter what!” Kermit said quickly, raising both hands in the hair.

Both Cowboy and Houston followed suit, raising their hands in the air as if they were showing they were there in peace. The three women looked at the men for several seconds before shrugging and smacking the van.

“Get these two to the spot. We’ll be behind you in about fifteen to thirty minutes. Nadia is on her way with the LAPD. I’ll let her know what we’re thinking of doing and go from there. I’ll talk to Viper about the plan and see if he will call Jackson to set up the meeting. If Viper and Jacko are there with us, I think it will work out. Showalter and I will definitely be there. If we need to have Odin with us, we’ll call him. I also want to run this by her as well.”

Diesel, Pratt and Sgt. Brocard stood and watched as the van sped away. The three women were silent as they contemplated their next moves. Things were moving now, and they all had a decision to make. The three women turned towards each other once the van was out of sight, looking amongst themselves.

“They are right. This can get really bad. What do we want to do?” Sgt. Brocard questioned her two teammates.

“I say we have a team meeting, including Bravo Squad, Toi and Angel. It’s a team decision, but my stance is this…this is Diesel’s daughter, that makes her family. I will gladly put my badge down and go all in for her. Just like I know you all would do if it was one of my kids or Raso’s. I know she would feel the same. But we present everything as a team and decide how we handle this as a team. Highlander, his team and Marcus need to be aware of how south this can go. This can affect their military careers at the same time. Although I can speak for them and their commander, they will probably say fuck shit up, don’t get caught and then sleep like a fucking baby, knowing one less asshole in this world to touch our kiddos.” Pratt nodded, her arms crossing her chest as she decided without hesitation.

“I’m with Laura. Diez?” Sgt. Brocard agreed, looking over at Diesel.

“Nothing for me to decide. I’m all in. I will gladly hang up my badge if it means finding my daughter and bringing her home alive,” Diesel agreed, following Pratt and Sgt. Brocard’s stance.

“Let’s deal with Nadia and the LAPD so we can get back and talk to the others.”

THIRTY-SEVEN

It took her forty-five minutes to get everything dealt with and for them to get back to the house. Sgt. Brocard had called a team meeting with everything, Viper’s team and Highlander with his team included. Diesel sat next to Viper as her team leader laid everything out for Bravo Squad, her team, and everyone else in the room.

“We’re seriously debating this?” Peaches asked, looking around at her teammates before looking back at Sgt. Brocard. “There’s no question, if I need to lay my badge down to rescue Diesel’s kid, where do I lay it?”

Diesel had to fight the tears from falling when each member of her team, Bravo Squad, Toi and Angel, all said the same thing. When Dom agreed with the women, she was literally shaken to her core.

“Why?” Diesel’s gravely voice fought to ask.
