A merciless killer.
It won’t matter once Jameson finds out what the two of them have done. I’m not a killer myself, but I hopeJameson makes them pay, whether I’m around for it or not.
I take a deep breath, gathering my composure. “Steel is going to find us, and when he does, he’ll make you pay for what you’ve done. Your whole club is going to suffer for this.”
“You’re awfully confident for a biker slut.”
I glare up at him. “And you’re awfully confident for a murderous piece of shit.”
Dimitri storms across the basement at my comment, winding his arm back and striking me across the cheek. His knuckles hit so hard I see spots, and my back slams into the wall behind me.
He grabs my hair, forcing me to look into his sick, devilish eyes.
“I’ve changed my mind. Death would be too easy for you after all. You want to know what the Iron Sinners do to bitches who don’t know how to keep their mouths shut? I’ll show you.” He tosses my head away, and the back of it hits a wall. “Steel won’t find you out here. No one will. And when I bring my men back downstairs, you’re going to wish I’d slit your fucking throat.”
The darkness in Dimitri’s gaze sends a shiver up my spine as he glares at me, and with a final dark chuckle, he walks up the stairs, slamming the door behind him. Something clicks, and I assume that must be a lock.
Steel will find me.
He has to.
But until then, I can’t sit around and wait. I have to get out of this basement before Dimitri and his men come back. I have to find Austin.
If I don’t, I’m not sure either of us will survive.

Steel
The clubhouse is buzzing.My men tear apart the bunkhouse searching our prospects’ things for any clues that will help us find Tempe and Austin.
“No bugs,” Ghost confirms. “And from what I can tell, Sonny is clean.”
“Reyes?”
“Burner cell inside his mattress, but the contacts have been wiped. I’ll dig into it now to see if I can get anything off it.”
I nod, and Ghost heads toward a room in the back of the clubhouse where he hides away to take care of business.
Soul walks over, hanging up the phone as he stops in front of me.
“I don’t like that look.”
“You’re going to like what I have to say even less.” Soul drags his hand down his face. “The Iron Sinners hit two ofour businesses at the same time as they snatched Tempe and Austin. They’re trying to split our resources.”
“Which ones?”
“Kings Auto and Sapphire Rise. They tossed both and stripped anything they could from the offices. No real damage, so it could just be a distraction, but they were definitely looking for something. I’ve got a few men checking it out now.”
“There’s nothing in either of the offices for them to find.” I scratch my jaw, relieved Legacy was paranoid and suggested we keep all records secure at the clubhouse for the time being. “As far as the damage is concerned, Chaos will have to deal with it when he gets out. It’s not a priority tonight. Who did you send?”
“Mayhem and Boone.”
“Tell ’em to just keep it under control. We’ll deal with it tomorrow.”
Soul nods, shooting off a text. “Any word on your old lady?”
My old lady.
