“Hey,” Rags replied, dropping into the leather chair across from the desk. “How’s it going?”
“Good. What’s up?”
“I wanna know if you can find out some information for me.”
“Is it club business?”
“No. Is that a problem?”
“No. Just asking. Whaddaya need?”
“Like how much debt my friend has.”
Hawk’s brow creased. “Okay. What’s your friend’s name?”
Rags cleared his throat. “Casey Reese.”
Hawk shot him a quick look, eyebrows lifting quickly as a corner of his mouth twitched.
“What?” Rags asked, eyes narrowing.
“Casey Reese is yourfriend?”
“That’s what I said,” Rags gritted.
“Since when do you have a chick for a friend?”
Rags’s jaw tightened. “I can do without the fuckin’ commentary,” he said, voice flat. “Can we get to the part where you tell me if you can help or not?”
Hawk nodded. “Why do you want the info?”
“I just do.”
“Does this have anything to do with that chick you’ve been moping over since the festival?”
Rags pursed his lips, his gaze hardening. “We’re just friends. It’s no big deal.”
Hawk laughed. “Yeah. Sure. I’ll remind you of that when she’s wearing your patch.”
“No one’s wearing my patch,” Rags hissed, rubbing the back of his neck.
“We’ll see. Either way, Banger’ll be happy you finally pulled your head outta your ass. He was getting fuckin’ sick of your moodiness.”
“Are you done?” Rags asked through clenched teeth.
“Pretty much.” Hawk turned back to the screen. “I’ll run the info tomorrow morning. That work?”
“Yeah.” Rags nodded.
After giving Hawk Casey’s current and background information, Rags pushed up from the chair.
“How’s the intel going with the Devil’s Reign distributing hard shit in the county?” Rags asked.
The vice president leaned back in his chair. “It looks like the only thing those assholes are guilty of is being fuckin’ stupid. That’s gonna cost them.” He scrubbed a hand over the side ofhis face. “I’m still trying to figure out who’s behind the influx of China Girl and smack. It’s taking longer than I thought, but I’ll find out. I’m not givin’ up ’til I do.”
“I know you won’t. If you need anything, lemme know.”
“Yeah.”
