“I have to get the bullet out,” Doc said. “Let’s go to my office so I can take an x-ray to see what’s going on inside. It doesn’t look like any tendons were damaged, but I want to be sure, and I have to see about the bone.”
“Fuck,” Shadow muttered. “I gotta wait for the fuckin’ badges.”
“They’re on their way up.” Helm stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Detectives McCue and Ibuado walked in and rushed over to Shadow.
“What happened here?” McCue asked, his eyes shifting from Shadow to Pamela.
“This crazy bitch murdered my mother. She killed Flo too. She’s wearing her bracelets, and the cunt had this on around her neck.” He handed over the necklace to the cop. “I gave that to my mom years ago.”
McCue nodded. “I remember it was the only thing missing.”
The paramedics transferred Pamela to a stretcher, then wheeled her out. Two uniformed badges followed behind them.
“Landon said it was self-defense. She shot you?” McCue asked.
“Damn straight. She’s a fuckin’ psycho bitch.”
“Okay.” He wrote some stuff in a notepad.
Doc cleared his throat. “Shadow needs immediate attention.”
The detective nodded. “Go ahead. I know where to find you to get your statement.”
When Shadow stood up, he swayed on his feet. Smokey and Helm rushed over and each wrapped an arm around him, holding him steady as they slowly walked out of the condo.
“You just do what Doc says,” Helm said. “I called some of the brothers and we’ll put a new door in. You better have your woman stay with you at the clubhouse until we get her place cleaned up.”
“Yeah,” Shadow muttered.What the fuck am I going to do with Scarlett? I need to talk to her dad. What a fuckin’ mess.
And in the middle of it was the two of them.
The problem was—Shadow didn’t know if their love was enough to pull them through this chaos.
