I grabbed the key fob and hit the unlock button. The lights flashed.
Oh... he thought he was in a war over there... well... war was just declared.
I climbed in, yes, it was lush, yes, I loved her, and yes, her name was Mrs. Betty.
I started it up and heard a throaty roar and couldn’t help the smile that formed on my face.
Then I put the SUV in reverse, backed out, put it in drive, and had one destination in mind.
And in fifteen minutes, I pulled through the opening to the clubhouse forecourt and slammed on the brakes.
I cut the car off and climbed down.
Then I stomped toward the front doors.
“Woman on a mission, who pissed you off, darlin’?” I heard a man ask.

“Well, you’d better wipe whatever blood is on your hands off and get your ass into the clubhouse. Now.”
“Fuck,” he said. “Be right there.”
I hung up and lowered my phone.
She lifted a brow, “So, I’m Lena. I’m Storm’s, ol’ lady. And you are?”
Before I could answer her, a door at the back of the clubhouse banged open, and he was walking through it with a rag in his hands that was getting redder by the minute.
