“Bullshit.”

“You’ll make her understand,” I tell him finally, looking up into his face and stopping just short of pleading for him to understand.I’ve never begged a motherfucker for one thing in my life, but I need Wolf to not fight me on this.I need him to make sure that Torrent not only survives this, but that she comes through it stronger and happier.Wolf is the key to that.My daughter is headstrong.She’s like me in that respect and she will blame herself for my death.She’s tried to fight having a life in the club, but in time she will see that the club is her family and that Wolf is strong enough to let her spread her wings, but make her happy too.They will be a good match.

“You’re putting a lot of faith in me.Torrent hasn’t ever listened to one thing I’ve said, Dodger.There’s no guarantee she will in this either.”

“When I’m gone, she’ll look to you.She has trust in you, Wolf.My daughter might be stubborn, but she’s smart.”

“Hey, Dodger.You asked me to let you know if I saw anything funny during our lockdown,” Big Tom says, opening the door, his face somber.

“Yeah?”

“Oh sorry.Didn’t know you were in here, Wolf, but this can’t wait.”

“What is it?”I ask Big Tom.Tom stands about 6’4” and he weighs about three hundred fifty pounds.He’s bald on the top of his head and his salt and pepper hair on the sides is cut short.I trust him almost as much as I trust Wolf.He and Wolf alone have been with me from the beginning.They’re the only two left that I’m comfortable telling my plans to.There’s two other men I feel are relatively safe, but the truth is when it comes to Torrent, I can’t truly trust anyone but Wolf.

“Crash snuck out of the club a couple of hours ago.I did as Wolf ordered and I didn’t stop anyone from leaving, so when Crash snuck out of the bunker, I laid back and followed him.”

“Where did he go?”

“He drove out to the old marina.The one that?—”

“Fuck!Crash is the mole?”

“It makes sense,” Wolf says.“He’s a transplant from another club.His loyalty wouldn’t go as deep.”

“I gave him a fucking home here.I let him into our lives,” I growl, betrayal sitting deep in my gut, burning like a damn knife stabbing into me with a death blow.

“Is he still there?”

“Yeah.I left Dub watching the place.”

“They better not see him,” I mutter, still wrapping my mind around the fact that I finally know who in my club has been trying to get me.

“They won’t, Dodger.You know how Dub is.If he doesn’t want you to see him, you won’t.”

“Now we need to plan our next move.”

“We already know it,” I tell Wolf and our eyes lock.

“Dodger, now that we know who the mole is?—”

“It changes only one thing.”

“What’s that?”

“I’m killing that motherfucker before I die,” I vow.My options are limited, but if I have to wrestle the Grim Reaper himself to stay alive long enough to end Crash, I will.

“Damn it, Dodger?—”

“Torrent is all that matters, Wolf.You know that.That’s why I brought you into this.I can’t do it alone.”

“Damn it,” he mutters again.

“You love her.I couldn’t trust her life in anyone else’s hands,” I tell him.I see the exact second he accepts what I’ve already figured out is inevitable.I don’t have a death wish.I hope a miracle happens and I survive.

I’m just pretty sure it’s not going to.
