Page 38 of Brick's Redemption

“I’m scared,” I admitted, turning my body toward Brick. I needed his comfort, strength, and protection.

“I know, Babygirl. I’m here.” He lowered his head and kissed me. “You’ve got two armed men in this car who won’t let anything happen to you.”

“That’s right,” Mike added.

It felt like I was living a nightmare. When would the chaos stop?

“Brick, what do you want to do? I’m near to Vegas.”

“Someplace to drop you and Ginny. I’ll take the truck to the clubhouse alone.”

Mike shook his head. “No fucking way. You could be walking into a trap.”

“I know I am. Doesn’t matter. I need to know, Mike.”

“Not alone.”

“I agree. Not alone, Brick.”

“I won’t risk you,” he snarled.

“You don’t have a choice. What if they’re being attacked right now? Every minute we delay means someone could die.”

“And that someone won’t be you,” Brick growled.

“I’m driving to the clubhouse, Brick.”

“Mike, you fucking bastard!”

“She won’t be hurt. I’ll call for backup right now.”

And he did.

Brick sat in stony silence, glaring at Mike as he clenched my fingers.

All I could think about was the history between the Crimson Skulls and the Desert Titans MC. The feud. The bloody war that killed my father.

Fifteen years ago, they gunned him down. Within days, the rest of the members ensured they received justice. My father’s club, Brick’s club, spilled blood to avenge my father. They got everyone but Butcher because he was in prison.

Now, all these years later, Butcher was free.

“He’s getting payback, Brick.”

His gaze cut to me. “Who?”

“Butcher. He wants us all dead.”

I saw the realization as it settled inside his eyes. “Fuck, Ginny.”

I knew before we reached the DTMC clubhouse that we’d only find bodies inside. It was the reason my gut had been churning. The pregnancy had nothing to do with it, not this time. Since the moment we fled on that boat, I felt it.

Butcher was the new head of the Crimson Skulls. He’d become the president, and while the Desert Titans were unaware, he reformed the club and planned his revenge.

Nothing else made sense.

When Mike pulled onto the silent lot, Brick jumped out.

I remained in the truck, staring after him, my heart already breaking for what he’d find. I just never expected the extent to of Butcher’s hatred or how far he’d go to wipe us all from the earth.
