Finally, we were going toward the right track.
“You’ll call me if you need anything?” I asked just as the door burst open.
“Fucker! You need to at least answer me when I’m callin’ ya,” Micah said in a rush.
“Bad?” I asked, thinking that would be what the problem was.
He didn’t answer. Instead he turned to Katie. “I’m sorry but I’ve gotta steal him for a bit for club business.”
Ensley came through the door, her arms up in the air. “And we get sister time. That’s it. If you have a dick, get the fuck out!”
Katie began chuckling straight out. Yes, she was making steps and coming back to her old self. I loved this.Loved her.
I got out of the bed, lifted my arms above my head and stretched, my shirt rising up.
“You’ve been eating too many Swedish Fish.” Ensley comment, and I patted my stomach.
“Love my sweets.”
Micah looked as though he was going to blow a gasket.
“Let me pee, and I’m ready.”
“Hurry,” he told me as I went into the bathroom and did my business. Not looking at Micah, I went right to Katie and wrapped her tight in my arms.
She didn’t resist or try to pull away. It shocked me, and I enjoyed every second of it. “Take it easy for a while. Why don’t you hang out here and get to know the place better?”
“Alright, Grandpa Munster … out,” Ensley said, and I grabbed my heart.
“Grandpa? You wound me.”
“Dicks out.” Ensley pointed to the door, and Katie’s smile was wide. That was all I could ask for.
“Later.” After kissing Katie on the top of her head once more, something I couldn’t stop doing, we walked out of the room. “Yeah?” I questioned Micah to start talking.
“Ghost. We’ve found them. Gotta roll out.”
Fuck, we were going to be gone longer than a few hours for this one. I had my cell, and I’d be making use of it. Leaving Katie now wasn’t good timing. But she did have her sister, so I needed to make peace with it.
Now … we find the guns so we can find our man, no matter what it takes.

KATIE
“So what arewe doing for girls’ day?” I asked my sister after Dryerson and Micah left the room. Thinking that they were going off to do badass biker stuff was scary, and I needed something to get my mind off of it.Badass.I smiled inside. I didn’t know if it was good or bad that my vocabulary was expanding.
“We’re stayin’ at the clubhouse today. Remy’s with Blaze and Princess, so we have to go and find them. Then, we can do whatever you want. Polish our nails, watch movies, talk about boys…”
It was strange being a twenty-three-year-old woman and never having a ‘girls’ night’ until I’d left what was once home. Since then, Ensley and I had them all the time. They ranged from movies to nails to shopping. Lots of times it was watching Trolls with Remy, but Ensley and I had our moments alone where we did the other fun things.
“Let me wash up. Do we have clothes here?”
Ensley went into the room next door and then came back with a duffle. “I broke into your apartment and got you some things.”
I smiled. “You have a key. So breaking in doesn’t really count, does it?”
“Yeah, but breaking in sounds much cooler.” She handed me the bag, and I took it.
