"What you told me yesterday, that shit stays between us…the three of us I wasn’t sure what to do with it, but Blade helped me to understand that life isn’t all black and white, and that sometimes the deeds of the past shouldn’t be a reflection on the person of today I get why you did what you did I et is loyalty to family with no questions asked and no stone left unturned" He took a breath before continuing "You’re my family, Griff, and the shit I said to you yesterday was in the heat of the moment You’ve proven yourself over and over to ain"

"That being said, you’ve got a probleuessing he knows your involvement in the Bond case That enda these days"

Scott nodded in agreement "Yeah, so we need tofor the club to have its shit together to deal with the fallout…we need to do this today"

Myto wrap itself around Scott’s acceptance of my past, but I pushed that to the side to focus on our revised plan to deal with Ricky "You got any ideas?" I asked

"Yeah, we’ve co," Scott said and we spent the next twenty ood day – by the end of it, Storm would have one less headache

As I sat back in position, watching Ricky’s house fronal, my phone buzzed silently with a text fro deal

Me: Good We’ll go over it later

Nash: How’s our friend?

Me: Twenty minutes tops and he won’t be our friend anymore

I shoved my phone back in my pocket Nash, Wilder and Scott weren’t here for this part of the plan They were out with the rest of our boys raising hell and giving Stor care of Ricky with the help of Blade’s boys

My signal from Blade cae Rover, and drove it down the street It was Ricky’s Range Rover that I’d ‘borrowed’ fro up outside Ricky’s house, I asked the woman in the back, "You ready?"
