Page 23 of Echoes of Fear

I sit down on the couch and wait.

“The Cage is losing money.”

“The Cage or theCage?”I ask.

Ghost owns a bar called the Cage. But he also hosts illegal fights beneath the club. Between that and the twins club, Oasis, they bring in a massive portion of our club’s money.

“The upper Cage,” he answers.

“Who the hell is stupid enough to steal from the Obsidians?” I wonder.

“Don’t know, but I’m damn sure going to find out.”

A loud crack of thunder booms, causing the building to rattle and me to freak the heck out.

“What the fuck?” Jax yells from another room. “Damn spiders invade my nightmares, and now the building is going to collapse?”

“What?” I screech.

“Shut the fuck up, Jax,” I hear Steel yell. “Ghost, where are the keys to the garage? We need to park our bikes inside.”

“You rode your bikes in that?” I shout so they can hear me from the other room.

“It’s unlocked, brother,” Ghost shouts back.

“They’re nuts,” I gasp. “Completely and certifiably insane.”

I may be part of a biker club, but I hate motorcycles with a passion. I know the statistics for getting killed on those things. I’ve only ever been on mine a handful of times, and only when it was the only option.

Luckily, as head of security I haven’t needed to do anything drastic. Most of my work can be done behind the screen. I supply the tech part of the security needs, and King supplies the muscles.

I hear the front door open a few minutes later and decide to meet everyone in the main room.

“Think you can go over the info for me later on and see if you notice any red flags?” Ghost asks as he follows me from the room.

“No problem,” I answer. “I’ll need full access to your staff as well. I can look around and see if anything is suspicious.”

“Whatever you need, kid,” he tells me.

“Damn, that rain is cold.”

I slept for a few hours this morning and that voice was the only one I dreamed about.

Taylor stood next to the door with Blaze and Steel as Jax handed them all towels.

“Figured I would just ride over with the boys after we closed up Oasis,” he smiles at me. “Thought for sure we would get here before the rain started.”

“Oasis has been closed for hours,” I point out.

“We had an incident last night with one of the scenes,” Steel says. “They took their blood play a bit too far, and we had to have someone come in for a deep clean.”

“Oh no,” I frown. “Is everyone okay? That poor person.”

“I didn’t say they didn’t enjoy it, boy,” Steel smirks.

Yikes!

I am baffled at some of the things that people get off on. I would never take part in anything like that.
