“He’s there. You just can’t see him.” Mercy looked up at me with concern in his eyes. “He knows where the cameras are.”

“What?”

“Watch him.” He played back the footage, and sure enough, the figure moved in and out of the camera view like he knew exactly what he was doing. “Whoever this is knows the layout and stayed in the blind spots.”

“How the hell did he manage that?”

“That’s what I’m trying to figure out.”

I looked back at the footage and watched as the guy stepped into view again. He stepped up to the camera, just long enough to cover it, and the screen went black. “Damn.”

“I sent a couple of prospects over to check things out. They took the cover off the camera and cleaned up the paint.”

“You should’ve called me sooner.”

“I wanted to know what we were dealing with.” He shrugged. “I didn’t want to take you from your kids until I had something.”

“How’d you know I was with them?”

“Knox.”

“Of course.” I shouldn’t have been surprised. Mercy always knew what was going on with the brothers. He had ears everywhere. “Anything else?”

“Nope. Nothing was stolen or vandalized. Just the one wall.”

“What about inside?”

“Didn’t make it that far.”

“So, this guy went to all this trouble just to paint a fucking wall?”

“No, I don’t think so,” Mercy answered.

“You think this is about club business.”

“They didn’t spray paint Fury for nothing.”

“Could’ve been some stupid kids.”

“Kids don’t know how to hide from security cameras.”

“I pissed off a delivery driver earlier this week.”

“What happened?”

“He didn’t deliver my part. I called, complained, and got his ass fired… It could be him.”

“I doubt it.”

“What then?”

He cocked his brow. “I think somebody’s letting us know they can get to us.”

He pulled up the writing again, zooming in close, and for the first time, I noticed there was something painted beneath the words. It was a circle with three jagged lines cutting through the center.

My stomach dropped. I knew that symbol. I hadn’t seen it in years, but I knew it. “Is that what I think it is?”

“Afraid so.” He leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms. “Looks like the Blue River Vipers have us in their sights.”
