Page 15 of August's Ride with Arrow

“Well, there is one of two ways. One, they were able to pay off one of your men to get the information. I can look and see if any of your guys have received any large lump sums out of the ordinary lately. Or option two is they've planted someone as a spy, and you need to flush them out.”

He gives us a few more details before we hang up. Since all the officers are in here, I know Atlas is going to have something to say about this possible spy business.

“Our guys are loyal. There’s no doubt in my mind that we’ve got a spy. It makes sense. Maybe it’s one of the newer guys,” Atlas says.

“I really fucking hope that it’s not Motor Mouth because he was there at Sturgis with us and was privy to our entire plan we set in motion,” Thunder says.

“Shooter is new too, and I don't think we should completely write off the fact that it could have been one of our other guys turning on us,” I say, which makes me sick even thinking about it.

“Until the Savage Bones situation is taken care of, I think we need to halt all new memberships. That way, they can't try to plant anyone else,” Bear adds.

“Yeah, but we need the numbers and the help. I think that until the Savage Bones situation is resolved, they won’t have access to the Clubhouse or any details,” Thunder says.

“But I agree, we need their manpower. Especially with going after Fright,” Atlas says.

“Well, we need to track Fright down...” Atlas starts working out a game plan, but Stone interrupts.

“Actually, we had eyes on him as recently as last night. There have been no reports of any movement this morning, so I'm willing to bet he's still in the same cabin. There are only two other low-level guys with him,” Stone says.

“Okay, let's get a team together and go after him before he's on the move again,” Atlas says.

“We were hoping he would lead us to the President and some of the other officers,” Priest says.

“I wish we could wait, but at this point, we can't take the chance of losing him. We need to start picking them off one by one. With their Treasurer out of the way, they will start to scramble and things will get a little messy,” Atlas says. “Arrow, head out with Timmy's information. Take Thunder, Bear, Priest, Crank, and Juice with you, at least if Crank is able to ride by now.” Atlas says with an eye roll that makes the rest of us in the room snicker.

“He can ride just fine,” Thunder says.

For the rest of the meeting, we go over the details of the location of where they're located, along with a rough plan of attack.

“Let’s meet at the garage in twenty minutes,” Thunder says, taking the lead as Vice President.

Using that time, I search for Katherine to let her know that I will be gone for a while.

I find her right where I left her in the living area on the couch, talking with Ginger and a few of the other girls who have joined her.

“Hey, Kitty Kat,” I say, sitting and pulling her into my arms.

“I have to get ready to leave, as we've got some business to take care of. But I want you to stay here at the clubhouse.”

She looks up at me nervously.

“I'll watch out for her,” Lightning says, and I know that means that he won’t let her out of his sight just like he wouldn't with his girl.

“We can do a mini spa day upstairs!” Piper says, and I'm grateful to her for the distraction.

“I promise I'll be back before you know it.” Then I place a soft kiss on her lips.

“Promise you'll come back to me in one piece,” she says.

With the look in her beautiful eyes and the tone of her voice, I can tell she knows this is a more dangerous job than I’m letting on.

“I’m taking some of the best guys with me. We will be fine.” I kiss her on her forehead, stand up, and go out to the garage area to join the rest of the guys.

“Arrow, why don't you take your truck, so we can add the supplies? They'll be easier to transport that way. The rest of us should be on our bikes protecting the truck,” Thunder says.

When I get to my truck that’s parked behind the garage, Hades is sitting there next to it, looking at me.

“I think he knows something's going on and wants to join in,” Crank says, walking up to him and petting him on the head.
