“I’m looking into it but haven’t found anything yet,” Blade replies, pushing his glasses up on his nose.
“Well, if she’s telling the truth, someone might come looking for her,” Bones replies, sharing a look with his twin.“Unless they were just using her for information.”
“And she was so angry she would have told them everything she knows,” Skull mutters.
Fuck.
This bitch is like a disease that keeps spreading, even after she’s dead.
“Everyone, keep your eyes open.Protect the women and children.I want eyes on them at all times,” Prez announces, glancing toward Haze.“How are we doing on the money front?”
“Businesses are booming,” he replies, grinning.“There’s a chunk of money sitting in the account, gaining interest.We could open another business if we wanted.”
Prez nods, considering.“Leave it there in case someone has an idea.Or maybe one of the old ladies will want to start something.We’ll be taking over the whole of Rest Falls soon.”
“That’s the plan.”Suit grins, crossing his arms over his chest.
“There’s one other thing to discuss… Pyro wants to transfer over from the Dawson chapter.Anyone have any issues with that?”
“Why does he want to?”War asks, leaning back in his chair and crossing his arms.
“I’m going to talk to him and find out,” Prez replies, his blues landing on each of us.“I just want to make sure we’re on board before I do.”
We all agree.
Pyro usually keeps to himself and rescues and trains dogs, but he’s a big motherfucker and would be good to have around.
“One more thing,” I speak up, looking straight at Prez, “I want to build a house for Xanthe and me on this land.”
Prez dips his head.“There’s plenty of space, speak to Suit about the legal shit and get it started.”
“You can certainly afford it.”Blade smirks, amusement dancing in his eyes.
I smile.
The whole table stares at me like I’ve lost my fucking mind.
“It’s fucking creepy that he does that now,” Lore blurts out, just as Bones says, “That’s a little scary.”
I don’t care what these assholes have to say.
I’m going to build my old lady a house.
XANTHE
After work, I drive straight to the clubhouse.Ghost isn’t there, so I text him, and he replies, telling me to wait for him and he’ll be there in half an hour.
“Ghost just went somewhere with Prez,” Bones says from where he’s sitting at the bar when I glance around the empty room.
“Where is everyone?”I ask, sitting down next to him.
He shrugs and looks into his glass.“At work or with their families.”
“Where’s Skull?”I ask, and he goes quiet for a moment.
“He and Isla have taken Natalia to the animal farm.”
“You didn’t want to go?”I press, trying to figure out where his head is at.
