“Woah, dude. What did her ex do?” Leo asked.

“You might want to think about going after her ex. Will she hate you for it?” Oliver inquired.

“She doesn’t know I’m looking into him. She doesn’t needto know right now, either. She’s already had a spook, and I don’t need her getting rattled even more,” Marco replied.

“What did he do to spook her?” Leo asked once again.

“Rainey thought she saw him the other day. Completely freaked out with the other girls around her. I found out later. But her ex did a number on her. He was abusive, more mentally than physically. She mentioned he got more physical toward the end and before she found out she was pregnant. Apparently, he’s also in a gang.”

It was a lot to process. Marco didn’t know his name or what he even looked like. He was at a disadvantage, but that’s why he wanted Kirk’s number, so he could give him the information he knew. Kirk could do whatever he needed to do.

“Shit. Really?” Leo asked.

“Yes, really. I don’t know his name but to see the look on her face, it was enough to want to go after him. It’s no joke. I want every single piece of information.”

“We’ll get the number from Hedda and pass it along. Hedda is very fond of Rainey, so Kirk will do it. You don’t have to worry about that,” Leo explained.

Marco wasn’t worried about having to pay. He would pay Kirk in aheartbeat if he needed to. Rainey’s safety was his top priority, and knowing she was scared didn’t sit well with him.

“I’m going to have Kirk also look into the Springfield Sinners. I talked to Monroe briefly, and she said Echo’s person was standing outside; that’s when Rainey saw her ex. I know for sure it wasn’t Echo’s guy, but he might be in the club.” Marco sighed.

Everything was starting to becomemore difficult as people arrived in Springfield. Never would he have thought they would have an MC move into their small city. But they had, and now they needed to be vigilant.

“That’s good. We need to keep an eye on this Deccan. He’s the president of the club and has his eyes on Echo. We don’t have the resources to have someone on him all the time,” Leo said.

“Maybe we should lock Echo down until we can resolve this. Or have her come with us to work and stay at our house until everything is resolved,” Marco suggested.

“That’s not going to end well. She is a free spirit and likes to do reckless things. She has a job.”

“What does she do?” Oliver asked.

“I think she writes or is a personal assistant to someone online. She can do it anywhere, and, from what Hedda said, she gets most of her work done early and has a lot of free time,” Leo replied.

“How did I miss that?”

“You were doing a demonstration.”

“She won’t tell us if he does anything bad. I don’t even know if the girls realize he is on our radar. They probably think we are oblivious.” Marco chuckled.

“But we noticed him the first time he saved her.” Leo shook his head.

“That was at the Little Farm?”

“Yeah, for Halloween or something. I can’t honestly recall, but I remember him.”

Marco sighed and leaned back into his chair.

“Do you think Rogan would help if we needed it?” Marco asked.

He didn’t want it to come to that point, but he needed to know.

Leo shrugged. “Maybe. If it came to Hedda’s safety, he probably would. I don’t know what kind of price you would have to pay if he were to help. Things have been changing a little since he’s got two Littles of his own now. While he has grown softer, he has also grown colder.”

“The safety of his Littles,” Oliver added.

“Do you have his number? I’ll contact him.”

“Good luck. But I’ll send it to you with Kirk’s number. Though, you probably want to ask Rogan if you can use Kirk before you message him.”
