“Why don’t we just killthem?”Lacey asked.

“Because they’re known,aren’t they?”Whizz asked.

“Huh?”

Lash sighed.“Daisy is known to be friendswith The Skulls.We could hide the bodies and shit, but you canguarantee it will fall back on the club.”

“Great,” Whizz said,snorting.“Fucking hate it when we turn the other way.We can’teven beat the shit out of the fuckers without landing our asses injail.”

“So, do you have a plan?”Lacey asked.

“Yeah, I do.”Lash pulled out anenvelope.“Ned Walker knew a guy who was more than happy to takepictures, and they set a meet up.They’re addicts allright.”

“We’re going to blackmail them?”Whizz asked, opening theenvelope, and looking over thepictures.

“Why don’t you just givethis to social services?”Lacey asked.

“Simple, I give that shit tosocial services, they take Daisy, and she gets put into the system.I get them to adopt her to us, Daisy remains with us, and no onecan do shit.”

Whizz found a document at the back of thepictures.Reading through, he looked up at Lash.“You want us toadopt Daisy?”

“What?”Laceyasked.

“Look, hear me out.I know youguys can’t have kids, and I know you’ve adopted Sally, but I knowyou’re also hoping to adopt again.Daisy, she’s a good kid, a greatkid who needs a good home.Please, give her a chance.If you don’twant her, then me and Angel will take her.Angel wants toanyw—”

“We’ll take her,” Laceysaid.

“Are we ready for that?”Whizz asked.

Lacey turned toward him.“Yes.Sallyhas been talking about us adopting another child.She’s happy forus to add to our family.”

Whizz had been in touch with theadoption agency, and they had warned itmight be hard for them to findsomeone else.He’d had to pull a lot of strings for them to getSally.Daisy would be a dream come true, even though he was aboutto surround himself with women.

“We’ll do it.”

“Do you want to come by tomorrowmorning?We’ll talk with Daisy, and my lawyer and I will go talk tothem.”Lash pulled out his wallet and handed them apicture.

Whizz looked over Lacey’s shoulder to seea picture of Anthony, Tabitha, Daisy, Miles, Rachel, and Tate’sSimon along with Devil’s Simon.The next generation of Skulls andChaos Bleeds.It was a picture of innocence, and Whizz couldn’thelp but smile.“They’re all there.”

“Not all of them.Markusisn’t, and of coursewe’ve got more women that are pregnant.Angel gave me that picture,and she’s got loads more.My woman loves taking pictures ofeverything.”

“Thank you.Do you think Daisywill like us?”Lacey asked, her insecurity comingthrough.

“She’s going to love us,”Whizz said.“We can offer her a lot more, and we’ll never forget topick her up on time.”

Lacey sighed.“Thank you, Lash,really, thank you.”

“I’m just doing my job.I’mgoing to head back home.It’s getting late, and I’m beat.”Lash gotto his feet, and leaving Lacey in his office, Whizz followed himout.

“What’s going on?”Whizzasked.

“I’ve been on the phone to Devil.He told me that Master left them some evidence that he’s beenfollowing them, and their women.”

Whizz had been keeping updated oneverything that was related to Master as it went back to Gonzalez,and back even further.For the past couple of years, The Skulls andChaos Bleeds had been attacked by different clubs, organizations,with some of their pasts coming out to haunt them.Whizz himselfhad suffered for Zero’s past.Lacey, she was part of the mess ofGonzalez, who’d torn her innocence from her, turning her into aghost.Something wasn’t adding up to him, and even though the enemyknown as Master had left The Skulls alone, Whizz’s gut was tellinghim it wouldn’t be for long.Chaos Bleeds and The Skulls werelinked.They had shared their time together in battle, and eventhough their friendship had been tested over the past couple ofyears, they would still fight for each other.Something wasn’tright with Master, and Whizz kept his searching in private.He’dnot told Lacey about what he was looking for.The last thing hewanted to do was concern her unnecessarily.Every time he thoughthe was on track to finding out who Master was, he alwaysdisappeared or Whizz was blocked from locating anything more.Whoever Master was, he wanted his identity kept secret.

“Is he going to hit out atthe old ladies?”Whizz asked.

“I don’t know.Devil seemstothink noone is safe, and I believe him.”Lash ran fingers through his hair,looking perplexed.“I trust Devil.Whatever he needs, I’m going tomakes sure the club will be there for him.”
