“Carly was in the house already. Sue wasleaving for the cookout while Carly was arriving. They spoke for afew minutes and Carly went in and Sue left for the clubhouse.

“Sue had gotten halfway to the club andremembered the potato salad. When she went back and as she walkedto the kitchen, she noticed two men entering in the house. Crusher,Carly is in the house with them.”

Fuuuck! I was going to need to focus if I wasgoing to get to her. I just got her, no way I was going to lose hernow.

“I going to kill that fucker with my barehands!” Speed yelled.

The others moved in. “We need a plan ofaction. And, Dad, I hope you have the keys on you.” Soft Tails wasclub owned and all our businesses had a few surprises in thestructure because you never knew when you would need something.

Cruz stepped around the bar and with the keyin hand he stuck it in the lock that was hidden by a small pictureon the wall. When he turned it, the wall of booze slid off to theside and the guns were displayed.

We talked about how we would handle thiswhile we got what we needed from the wall and the ammo to gowith.

Speed even called Wild Bill, told him we weregoing after Stone and the man, Jacks. They talked for a minutes andSpeed hung up.

“Wild Bill’s men are on their way down forpick up. Said he’d appreciate it if they were alive but wouldunderstand if they weren’t. You going to be alright to do this,brother?” Speed waited for my reply.

“You bet your ass. Let’s go get my woman.” Ididn’t wait for any responses, I turned and headed toward thedoor.

ChapterSeventeen

Carly

The man that stood in the kitchen that Ihadn’t seen in over five years had aged. Grey had taken over mostof his brown hair. His face was ruddy and his eyes were sunken withcircles around them. Evidently being on the run had taken its toll.His body looked in no better shape, he lost the muscles he once hadin abundance, his clothes hung on the smaller frame.

At one time I might have cowed in front ofhim but now, not so much. I’d grown up, came into my own and lefteverything to do with him behind me.

“Got nothing to say, little girl?” When heopened his mouth to talk, his teeth showed the years of drinkingand of tweaking.

“Yeah, I got shit to say. You made the wrongmove today. You always boasted how smart you are. That no one couldget anything over on you. Your ass was stupid then and what littleyou might have had, by the looks of you, you drank that away.” Isaid it before that mouth was going to get me in a shit ton oftrouble as he moved toward me and slapped me across my face. Theshit stung but I wouldn’t let him have even that on me.

“You watch your goddamn mouth. You look likethat cunt of a mother when I met her. And you aren’t no bettereither. I’ve seen you, you fucking the biker from Black Hawk. Youthink he’s going to make you his old lady because you spread yourlegs. Your mother tried for years to get that fucker to make herhis, and all he did was keep knocking her up. Took the one kid fromher so she ran so he couldn’t get you. He knew she was pregnant, hejust didn’t want you. Hell, no one did.

“Now get you scrawny ass into the livingroom. Wild Bill always did like you and since I couldn’t get to theprincess and that little heathen, you are the next best thing.Killing you will be just as good as them. Black Hawk will mourn andso will Haven, leaving both of the clubs weak. But what I’mcounting on is they’ll blame each other and while they arefighting, the few men still loyal to me will set about takingHaven. That damn club was meant to be mine.”

Jacks grabbed my arm and when he shoved me inthe chair, his hand moved over my breast and he squeezed. “Gonnahave a little fun with you before I kill you.” He stepped back andI kicked my leg out, catching his knee and causing it to buckleunder him. He stood and backhanded my other cheek with such forcemy head jerked to the side.

“Quit fucking around, Jacks, and look forshit we can pawn. Going to need some cash when it’s time to move onHaven.”

“Haven is going to take you down and I canonly imagine what Shock and Freak will think up for you.”

“Shut the fuck up. You don’t know dick. Thosefuckers couldn’t find me in six years,” he sneered.

“Wrong there too, asswipe. They will come foryou. The only reason they didn’t find you before, is because theydidn’t lift the right rock.” They had to be getting out of Church.Crusher would go to the cookout and Sami would tell him where Iwas. Or even Sue would. I just had to buy some time.

“Go in the kitchen and see if you can find atowel and some tape. Her ass needs gagged.” He walked over andstood in front of me and Jacks headed toward the kitchen. He tookthe back of his hand and ran it down my cheek. “You look like her,I think I might join Jacks in the fun, see if you fuck like her.I’ll give the cunt that, she was game for anything. Promise her atweak and I could line guys up, charge them twenty dollars, andClarice would fuck and suck. Made good money on her in her youngerdays. Hell, maybe I should just take you and put you to work makingme some money. What ya think?” I would not let this asshole get tome.

“I think you are a sick fucker who has penisenvy. Don’t forget I’ve seen your dick, it’s small.” Just as hereared back to slap me again, crashes echoed through the house. Iheard Jacks’s screams of pain as Stone grabbed my arm and yanked meup in front of him as Speed walked in the now busted frontdoor.

“Hey, little sis. Heard you needed somehelp.” Speed smiled and winked at me, then frowned as he movedcloser. “You hit her, motherfucker? I’ll be sure to tell Wild Billthat info, see what his boys can do for you. You might be goingback alone if your buddy bleeds out. Well, I guess either wayreally, just depends if he is breathing when they load him up.”Coast came into view and moved to stand beside Speed, bloodsplattered over the front of his shirt.

“One down. Goddamn that son-of-a-bitch isgood,” Coast said as he looked around, I presumed taking in thesituation. And what the fuck was up with being so nonchalant whileI got a fucking gun jammed in my back and Stone’s nasty arm aroundmy neck half choking me.

“Don’t move any closer you pricks or I willkiller her.” I swear bikers are all freakin’ nuts as Speed movedover to the chair and plopped down like he was there for a damnvisit.

“Why don’t we have a little chat before wekill you?” What the hell? A chat? And where is Crusher?

“What, you want to chat, how about how Ikilled your dumbass daddy, boy? Or do you want to know how easyyour mother died?” The blue in Speed’s eyes darkened as he stood atthe mention of Cutter.
