“What about illegal? Both of them have to have had a history with it.” Hell, they had to make money to survive. The easiest money had always been on the other side of the law. Considering the skills he had to acquire to pull the wool over the Ravage MC, Robert had to have learned it somewhere.
“Two arrests. One for assault and battery and one for burglary, but he skated off those.”
“How?”
Micah shook his head. “Court case was thrown out. He was only nineteen but had a high-priced lawyer. Cornerfull was his name. He’s known for being on the Delta Crosses’ payroll.”
“The gang in Chicago?” The Delta Crosses were one of the worst in the Midwest. Even to this day, they were on the news regularly. They run things dirty. As in they have no loyalty, not even to each other. They tend to turn on one another at the drop of a hat.
Stealing and one-upping each other at every turn.
“Yeah. I’m thinkin’ he was in it. Both he and Danny.”
Micah went to another site and pulled up some pictures. He pointed to the screen. “This is Robert. See the delta?” True enough there was triangle with a cross. The markings of a member.
“Fuck.”
Micah switched to a picture of Danny. “Same here.” On the man’s chest was the same symbol.
“Where’d you find these?”
“Coroner’s reports.”
Right. “You think Ravage is gonna have trouble with the Delta Crosses?” Fuck, if that asshole led these fuckers here to stir up trouble, I’d dig him up and kill him again.
“Don’t know. If they’re smart, they’ll stay the fuck away from Ravage. We’ll need to put Cruz in the loop and let him decide how to deal.”
That was the way with family. Cruz was the president. The godfather of the family. There was no doubt in my mind that Cruz would blow up Chicago before allowing them to come down here and cause trouble.
“Nothin’ else? Maybe why the fuck he wanted to take over my life?” My tone was clipped as the anger started rolling through me.
“Growin’ up in the Delta Crosses couldn’t have been easy I’d guess. Somehow he found out about you and was pissed at the life you were granted. Can’t say it’d be somethin’ a sane person would do, but it appears to be the path he took.”
My head tipped up to the ceiling as I heaved in a breath. “Shit’s fucked up, man. A damn twin. Still can’t wrap my head around it. Of all the things in the world, that shit would’ve never been on my radar.”
“You ever look into your adoption?” he asked me as my head came back down, and I stared at my best friend.
“Can’t say I did. My folks never kept the fact I was adopted a secret. Never thought about contacting my biological parents. Had my folks and that was it. Now, I should’ve looked into that shit.”
“Don’t put that on your shoulders. That shit is over. Gotta focus on the here and now.”
“If the Delta Crosses come our way, then it’s not fuckin’ over.”
“Brother, let’s cross that bridge if or when we get to it?”
“Right.”
Katie’s laughter filled the kitchen as Remy led her into the kitchen.
“WyWy!” Remy yelled, letting go of Katie and coming directly to me. I turned in the chair to catch her easily. Fuck I loved this little girl.
As her arms wrapped around my neck and she squeezed me tight, I did the same.
“Hey there, bug.”
She pulled back, a wide smile across her face. “I’s spendin’ ime wit youz.”
“Oh, you are? Whatever will we do?” I teased as Katie came up behind me, putting her hands on my shoulders. I loved having her close to me. Fucking love that woman.
