“What did Nana always teach us growing up? To be aware is to be alive. I don’t care what state I’m in, I’m always vigilant.”

“Well, did you get a license plate number or something?” Viper asks, sitting forward.

“There were no plates. All I can tell you is it was a black Chevy Escalade. If you guys see one of those around town with blackout windows, an L-shaped scratch on the hood and a dent the size of basketball on the driver side door, that’s them.”

We all stare at Cara in silence, trying to figure out how in the hell someone so inebriated could notice all that.

Capone scratches his head, appearing deep in thought. “But how in the hell did he find her? She hasn’t even been here that long.”

“Exactly. She doesn’t use credit cards and she hasn’t even had her first day at the hospital. Something isn’t adding up,” Sara agrees.

“We need to do something, Viper. Every time my woman leaves those gates, she’s at risk.”

“Cara, Sara, Tech, do y’all have anything on him at all?” Viper asks them.

“No. But we did come up with a plan.” Sara turns to Cara. She pulls what looks like a flash drive out of her pocket.

“You see this little baby? Insert this in someone’s desktop and in sixty seconds, it sweeps the entire system.”

“Sweeps the system? Like download all the information on it?” Dice asks.

“Exactly.”

“How the hell do you plan on getting that thing in his desktop because you sure as hell won’t be doing it yourself,” Viper tells her. I don’t blame him. It’s enough that the girls are involved in club business. They don’t need to unnecessarily be in danger.

“I know, Viper. Sara and I are going to send false virus alerts to his home and office computer. The second he sees an alert, saying someone is attempting to hack his system, he’s going to call tech support.”

“Cara and I are going to intercept his technicians and replace them with two of you guys.”

The guys look at the girls in amazement. They never cease to amaze us. All the brothers nod their approval. “How many guys would need to go?” Viper asks.

“Six should be good. Only two will show up to his home and office. The other four will be there for backup.”

“All in favor of this plan?”

Every hand raises around the table and the plan is set in motion. Since Tech has the most experience with this kind of stuff, he volunteers to go. Diablo, Gunner, Dice, Rambo, andChains follow suit. We agree to give it a week before heading out. With Thomas possibly having eyes on us, it wouldn’t be smart to leave right away.

Once Church has ended, I head to the bar for a beer. One of the club bunnies who goes by Diamond comes and plops herself into my lap. “Thor, baby, it’s been so long. Nobody fucks me like you do. Let’s say you and I get out of here and I’ll let you use the ropes on me.”

I hear a small intake of breath and my stomach sinks. Pushing Diamond off me, I turn to see Madison there with tear-filled eyes. The girls are beside her, and they all look murderous. I don’t know if it’s aimed at me or Diamond. I make a move to go to her, but she runs out the door. Cara stops me from following.

“Let us talk to her, Thor. She’s not used to club life and anything you say to her, she probably won’t believe.”

“I can’t lose her, Cara,” I choke out.

“I can’t promise you anything other than I will try my hardest to help her understand how much she means to you. I got to go.” Cara rushes out the door behind the other girls hot on Madison’s heels.

I turn around and get right in Diamond’s face. “Don’t touch me again. I’m not available for you or any of the other bunnies.” I walk back over to the bar and ignore the stares from my brothers. I don’t know what the girls are going to say to Madison, but I hope it doesn’t end with her leaving me.

Chapter Fifteen

MADISON

My heart beats a thousand miles a minute. I can’t believe what I just saw and heard. That woman was way too comfortable with Jonah. She didn’t care that a room full of people heard her say she wanted him to use ropes on her. That’s not the man I know. I’m not disgusted that that’s what he’s into but I don’t like the idea of knowing he’s been intimate with other women.

I knew there was no way in hell that Jonah has lived that past decade as a monk. I just wasn’t prepared to hear it. Now that I think about it, I’ve seen a group of women who dress just like her around the clubhouse. I had so much going on, I didn’t give it a second thought. Now I’m wondering if he’s slept with every one of them.

I hear the ladies running after me, begging me to stop. I spot a picnic table and take a seat. As much as I want to just roll up in a ball and cry my eyes out, I need to talk to someone about this. Nobody could understand this more than them. The girls join me at the table with sorrowful eyes.
