“What’s so special about this bitch anyway?”

“She’s wanted by a man willing to pay a fuck of a lot of money to get his revenge.She’s the card he’s going to play to get that revenge and because she’s that important you don’t fucking beat her until she’s unrecognizable.That’s all you need to know.”

“Fine, fine.I’ll lighten up.What’s the next step?”

“Nothing right now.Thanks to you being so damned stupid, we will have to wait until she looks better to play out the revenge.At least until the swelling goes down enough you can tell who she is.”

“How long?”

“A week.Keep your hands to your fucking self for a week.You need to bring her to heel, you do it without making a mark on her.You got it?”

“Got it.”

“Good.I’ll be in touch,” the man growls and then I hear his footsteps walking away.My mind replays everything I’ve heard, but I’m too tired.I’m fading fast.I let myself go under.I’ll try and replay everything later.Maybe I can find a clue as to who is pulling the strings then.

Right now it’s taking too much effort.

Chapter17

Dodger

“I still sayyou shouldn’t do this, Dodger man,” Wolf growls.Frustration is thick on his face.

Wolf is my right arm.I trust him like he was blood.Fuck, he’s the only man I can trust right now.I had to tell him about the note I found on my bike today.I rode into town to see if I could call some markers in and get some help.I’ve been going crazy trying to find a sign of Torrent.Getting the note saying they were willing to make an exchange—me for Torrent—was like an answer to a prayer.I’m not coming out of this alive.I’ve already accepted that.It doesn’t matter.As long as I can save my daughter that’s all I need.Wolf is going to help me do that.He’s all I have.At least I know he loves Torrent.He’s been in love with her for years.He’ll protect her with his life.That’s all I can concentrate on now.I can’t be here to watch her spread her wings and find her way in life.I can only trust my best friend to make sure she’s happy and I know he will.

“I don’t have a choice, Wolf.They got my girl.”

“So we go in there and get her—together.”

“They know what I’m doing before I fucking do it.I can’t trust my own club.”

“We need another day or two, damn it.We’ll find the mole and get it taken care of.”

“What happens to Torrent while we’re here playing with our dicks and?—”

“They’re not going to do anything with Torrent.They want to use her to get you, Dodger.We?—”

“And they’re getting me.I can’t risk not falling to their demands.They want me to meet them out at the Watershed.”

“The Watershed?”

“The old closed marina out on Route 38.”

“Shit, that place has been closed for twenty years.At least let us?—”

“Exactly.I go in defenseless as fuck and give them exactly what they want?—”

“You can’t…”

“And while I’m doing that, you come in with the three men of our club that we can trust and you get my girl.”

“Damn it, Dodger.You’re asking me to help you die.”

“I’ve lived a good life.I don’t give a fuck about dying—not if it means my girl will live.”

“How do you think Torrent will like the fact that you’re trading your life for hers?”

“She will understand in time.”
