“No,” Fritz said. “No coffee. Nothing, thank you.”

Warden knew his wife was hurting, but he had tofocus on Fritz, and he waited for them to leave, then took a seat, keeping hisdistance from the bed.

“Who found me?” Fritz asked.

“Colt and Dirty. Petal brought you here in hercar.”

Fritz nodded. “I like Petal. She’s got attitude.”

Warden smiled. “We know it was Diablo. We know heis working for Don Stefano Napoli. You were getting too close.”

“I wasn’t too close,” Fritz said. “I found theconnection, and this has nothing to do with Don Stefano Napoli.”

He frowned. “That is who Diablo works with.”

“Diablo. One of the most feared men in the world.A man no one knows anything about, and a man … with no face.” Fritz smiled butit didn’t reach his eyes. “I got curious. Did you know that Daemon was a manlike everyone else?”

Warden was confused.

“I began looking through everything related to theEvil Fuckers MC, and I came across an interesting picture. It showed an imageof two people, exactly the same.” Fritz didn’t look away.

“What are you talking about?”

“Daemon wasn’t an only child, Warden. He was atwin, and that twin is none other than Diablo, and he doesn’t work for DonStefano Napoli. That is the tale the mafia spun because the only person who hasever been able to keep control of Diablo was his brother. Also, there is more…”

“More?”

“Rosalie, Daemon might not even be her father.”

“What?”

“There’s a chance Diablo might be her father.”

“You’re saying Gabrielle had two men after her?”

“Twins, Warden. Daemon was a twin, and the onlydifference between the two, Diablo was captured as a child by their enemies,and he was scarred down one side of his face, but the other looks exactly likeDaemon,” Fritz said.

“Why wasn’t he with the Evil Fuckers MC?” Wardenasked.

“Diablo has a problem with rules. He has a problemwith authority, which is what makes him the perfect killing machine. He lovedhis brother, and now that we’ve taken him out, he’s coming after the club.”

Petal sat in church and listened to everythingWarden had to say. When he arrived from the hospital after the man known asFritz woke up, he declared church. The only difference was, he asked for Petal tocome to church, and seeing as she was Rosalie’s best friend, he believed it wasin her best interest to come as well.

This only meant one thing. Something bad was aboutto happen.

She felt sick to her stomach, especially as Wardenbegan to question Rosalie. Petal looked toward Dirty and he shrugged. He didn’thave a clue what was going on.

“Do you remember all the times your dad visitedyour mom?” Warden asked.

“What is this?” Rosalie asked.

“It’s important with what I am about to tell you.I need to know everything.”

Rosalie frowned. “I don’t know. Some days he wouldcome when I was at school and I’d only know he stopped by because … the way sheacted.” She nibbled her lip. Colt put his hands on her shoulders, and Petalreached for her hand.

“Dad, what is all this about?” Colt asked.
