“We’ve got the sister,” Muff explains. “In the shed.”

I stare at him, lost. “What?”

“Gerard’s sister, we’ve got her. Then, we’re goin’ to get him. We’re goin’ to force him to confess and have him arrested, then, we’re goin’ to find Hound and we’re goin’ to make it look like Serenity killed him to escape. He’ll be gone, she’ll be clear, and we’ll be done with this shit,” Muff explains.

It’s not a bad plan. Two birds, one stone.

That’s if we can find Serenity.

“How the fuck are we goin’ to do all of this before Hound kills her?” I grind out.

“Hound wants somethin’ off you, let him think he might be able to get it,” Spike growls. “It’ll give us time. We’re tryin’ to track the phone she had in the truck with her. We’ll find him.”

“Show me where this woman is,” I order.

We leave the room and move down to the shed. When I open the door, Gerard’s sister is tied to a chair, her eyes wide with fear as she looks around. I don’t hurt women as a rule, but fucked if I will let this bitch go when Serenity’s life is on the line. Gerard is going to own up to his shit, or I’ll find him and kill him myself.

I don’t even know this woman’s name, and, frankly, I don’t fucking care.

“What do you want from me?” she wails, her eyes darting between all the bikers. “I told you my brother is innocent.”

“Your brother is fucking killer, and he’s goin’ to admit it,” Spike barks. “You’re goin’ to call him and get him down here, or I’ll blow your brains out.”

He holds out his gun, pointing it to her.

She stares at him, eyes wide. “You ... you monster.”

“Call your brother. Now.”

He snatches her phone from her pocket and forces her to unlock it, bringing up Gerard’s number. She does as he asks, and when he puts it on video, we can see Gerard’s face come onto the screen. The dirty little fucker has the nerve to be smiling, that is until he notices the situation his sister is in.

“Well, good to see you again, sir,” Spike grins from behind the woman, staring down at the phone.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” Gerard gasps, his eyes wide as he tries to look around.

“Oh, this?” Spike chuckles and shoves his gun against her temple. “This is us not fucking around. You’re smart, but you’re not that smart. I’ll tell you how this is going to go, you’re going to come to the club, confess, and we won’t kill your sister. If you don’t, I’ll kill her. Then, motherfucker, I’ll come lookin’ for you, and, trust me, I will find you.”

Gerard’s eyes flash, and he frantically looks around.

“If you even consider callin’ the cops, I’ll shoot her the second I hear the sirens. Trust me, you don’t want that.”

“You wouldn’t kill an innocent woman,” Gerard sputters, his eyes wide. “You wouldn’t.”

Spike grins, and it’s colder than I’ve ever seen. “Oh, but I will. You have one hour to get to the club. If you’re not here, her brains will decorate my floor.”

With that, he hangs up.

“Do you think he’ll come?” Muff asks, glaring at the woman tied to the chair.

“Oh, he’ll come. If she means anything to him,” I grunt.

“You’re all monsters. My brother has never done anything to you. You’ll all go to prison for this. Do you hear me?” the woman screams.

“Gag her,” I order. “And find me Hound’s location.”

“On it,” Cade says, finding an old piece of material which he ties around the woman’s mouth and head.

It’s going to take everything inside me not to kill Gerard on the spot, but I have to keep it together.
