CHAPTER10
Crow leanedback in the seat, stretched his legs out in front of him, and scrolled through his phone.
A chair scraped against the hard flooring, and he looked up just as Aztec sat down.
“Whatcha got going on?”
Crow shrugged. “Not much.”
“Me neither. I have a couple of hours to kill before I relieve Metal at New Leaf.”
New Leaf was the club’s dispensary for medicinal and recreational marijuana. There were a few citizen employees, but the majority of the workers were club members. It brought in excellent revenue, which paid a nice percentage to all the members each month.
“Do you have any loose stuff on you that I can buy? I want to give some to Jim.” A thread of apprehension wove through Crow when he thought of him. He wished he could convince Jim to stay at a shelter until they found the fucker who was hacking up homeless men.
“How many do you need? I have six baggies. Scorpio and Jigger want one each, so I have four left.”
“Give me two.”
“Gotcha.” Aztec motioned for Lila, who sat on the couch painting Kelly’s fingernails. “Does Jim know there’s a fuckin’ lunatic hunting homeless dudes?”
Crow’s jaw tightened, and he nodded.
“Those damn badges can’t find their ass with both hands. Five fuckin’ deaths , and they don’t know shit. Alina isn’t a big city, you know.”
“What do you want, baby?” Lila said as she ran her hand down Aztec’s arm.
“A roast beef sandwich with two slices of pepper jack cheese and heavy on the mayo,” he said, his gaze fixed on her breasts.
“And two pickles, right?”
“Yeah.”
Smiling sweetly, she leaned down and ran a finger over his lips. “Okay, baby,” she said in a breathy voice.
Aztec raised his hands and cupped her tits, lifting them and kneading them hard. Lila moaned and pressed her mouth against his.
Crow glanced back down to his phone and noticed a text. It was from Valerie, and she wanted him to take the kids for a few days while she and dickhead went on a “much-needed getaway.”Is she fuckin’ serious?Uriah had moved back in with her just a few days before, and every time Crow came by, Valerie was gushing about how wonderful he was and how lucky she was to have him in her life.Until he smacks you around or sticks his cock in another bitch’s pussy.The truth was that if Valerie didn’t have Noah and Maddie, Crow would’ve pushed her away. He wasn’t stupid: he knew his sister only contacted him when she needed something. And the way she played on his emotions when it came to her kids was transparent as hell, but it also worked. Crow didn’t want Noah and Maddie to suffer because of their mom’s fuck-ups.
“You’re not watching live porn?” Eagle asked as he slipped into the chair next to Crow.
“Whaddya mean ?” he asked, glancing up. Seeing Lila bouncing up and down on Aztec’s dick with his mouth glued to one of her big tits, he said, “I guess not.”
“They’re fucking right at your table, dude. Or is the shit you’re looking at on your phone better?”
“Hardly, it’s just a text from Valerie. She’s a pain in the ass and has shit taste in guys. I’d love to beat the shit outta that dirtbag she’s shacking up with.”
“I’ll get in on that. I’ve seen that asshole around town. Uriah’s got a real mouth on him. He’s begging for a beatdown.”
“Oh fuck, baby,” Lila moaned.
“Damn good, bitch,” Aztec rasped.
“Keep it down—we’re trying to talk,” Eagle said, a bemused grin twitching at the corner of his mouth.
Aztec glanced over. “Fuck you,” he said before he groaned, then went still.
Not paying attention to the peep show, Crow said, “It’s taken every fuckin’ ounce of patience I have not to deck the asswipe. The only reason I haven’t done it is that I know Valerie would take it out on the kids.”
