Page 55 of Killer
Entering the roomhe stared at themiddle aged man behind the desk.His head was bent over a sheet ofnumbers.His temples were graying, and Killer spotted ink up anddown the man’s arms.
“Are you the fucker Alex wants toput to work?”Jason asked, looking up.There was a scar down oneside of his face.He looked vicious, scary, and not altogetherpleasant.
“I guess so.”He took a seat inthe chair opposite.“Last I checked Alex is paying you to payme.”
“Yeah, I owe the fucker mylife.”Jason pointed to his eye.“Can you at least work on cars?Last thing I need is for you to fuck up the cars we’ve already gotin place.”
“Yeah, I can work oncars.”
“Good, that’s all I need toknow.You’re starting on Monday.I don’t want any bad shit broughtto my establishment.I hear you got a woman with you?”
“Yeah, she’s out front withMason.You want me to introduce her?”
Jason nodded.“I want to see if she’llcause me any trouble.”
Leaving the office he found Kelsey stoodalong the far wall watching Mason work on the car.“Hey, baby.”Hetugged her close, slamming his lips down on hers.She moaned,opening up to him.“Kelsey, I’d like you to meet my new boss,Jason.”Killer introduced the two.
“It’s so good of you totake him,” she said, offering her hand.
“Are you satisfied?”Killerasked.
“Yeah, for now.Come back onMonday.You’ll have work waiting for you then.”Jason walkedaway.
Mason cleaned his hands on a towelmoving toward them.“He’s moody but a good boss.You won’t bedisappointed.”
Killerwouldn’t dispute that.Taking Kelseyaround the town he felt himself begin to relax.The outside worldcould wait.For now, it was just him and Kelsey with their troublesbeing handled by the rest of the club.He wasn’t going to waste asingle moment of it.

Slamming the door of his car,Michael buttoned up his shirt and entered TheSkulls’domain.Cars and bikes filled the compound, and the mechanic shopwas closed for a change.He didn’t enter Fort Wills without beingcompletely in the know about The Skulls.
They caused a problem for anyone whoentered their territory about to break the law.
“What the fuck are youdoing on my land?”Tiny said, coming out of the door.Several menand a couple of women exited the clubhouse to face him.
Michael knew all of their names, includingthe women.He spotted Angel instantly.One of his men thought she’dpull in a tidy sum, but there was no way any of them was willing totake on Lash.Nasty business dealing with the biker group, not tomention their connection to Chaos Bleeds, which kept most of theirenemies away.
He noted Killer was missing from thegroup.“Where is she?”he asked.
“Who?”Zeroasked.
“You can play games all youwant.Kelsey is mine.It won’t be long before I get her back andKiller is in prison for kidnapping.”
The threat was not an empty one.Heimagined his own enemies were already on the hunt to use heragainst him.Fuck, this was becoming more of a mess than heanticipated.Maybe he should have divorced her when she asked.Whatwas the point in staying married to a woman who clearly didn’t wanthim?
Sandy stood glaring at him with handson her hips.
“Do you really think thisis clever keeping her away from me?”
“Kelsey wants a divorce.You everthought she might take matters into her own hands,” Tate said,speaking up.Murphy had his hands on her shoulders keeping herback.
Tiny stared back at him, looking himup and down.
“Get inside,” Tiny said, toall of them.
Michael watched as all of Tiny’speople left him alone.“That was a bit stupid, don’t youthink?”
“You’re nothing but a boyplaying in a tank full of sharks.Your first mistake was cominginto my town.”
