A huge sigh heaved Copper’s chest, and he tugged at his red beard before saying, “We need to end this shit before soets his hand on any more women I want to know his schedule, who he associates with I want his life turned inside and out We won’t be leaving any loose ends I’d like to avoid a bloody war if possible We’re gonna start sainst him That doesn’t work, we’ll step it up, but let’s see if we can do this without too much bloodshed”
The ue Lefty needed to be stopped and stopped perot it Warof club members, women left without their men, and maybe even harmed themselves
War would be a last resort
Copper rose from his chair “Zach, you’re with me in The Box Fifteen minutes”
The Box was a baseinally meant as a storm shelter of some kind Basically, a boxy roo infor didn’t envy theon Copper and Zach’s company
“Looking forward to it, Cop” Zach ood looks as head over heels in love with his woman, but he could be the meanest sonofabitch when crossed And Copper? Well, within Copper lay a beast no one wanted to let out Ninety-five percent of the time he kept his wild temper under control but, fuck, that five percent stuck with a man after he’d seen it in action
“All right, we’re done here I want all you fuckers safe Got me?”
“Got it,” chorused the group
Jig left the chapel and headed for his office, a sed the club’s finances and ran the loan shark business Since his focus had been on assisting with the clubhouse security the past feeeks, he’d lagged on the bookkeeping It took hianized everything he’d been putting off Really, he didn’t ical A puzzle he could easily solve And it kept hihts of sexy tattoo artists
By the time he finished, it was almost seven, an hour until he was set to meet up with Izzy
With no reason to head to his house and no reason to hang around, he er chilly, but downright cold Tie Always a sad time of year
As he alking out the door, rapid footsteps ca!” Beth, Shel’s three-and-a-half-year-old daughter, flung herself at hih-pitched, “Catch me!”
Autoetic bundle, but not before his heart clenched with the force of a vise, as it did every time he laid eyes on the adorable strawberry-headed kid
“Sorry, Jig,” Shell said as she rushed toward the He doesn’t really like you hanging around Oh, I lassy then she cleared her throat and all see to Mama V’s and I have to work”
Jig blinked and stared at Shell “No, it’s okay I’lad she didn’t fall Glad I was there” His heart pounded so loud he could barely hear his own thoughts Though the little kid couldn’t weigh ht of her in his ar his hairline If he didn’t get her out of his ar to have a panic attack and probably traumatize Beth for life
“Oh, you don’t rip Beth had fro’s neck
Beth fit in his ar And it hurt so bad he couldn’t draw in a full breath Beth beath not to lose his shit It wasn’t fair to take out his issues in front of the kid She had no idea what ’s past
“Mind keeping a hold of her for a minute while I find my keys?”
“You got a brother going with you?” Jig asked, focusing on Shell rather than the wiggling bundle in his arms Hell would freeze over before Copper let Shell drive anywhere alone
“I’ to worry about” She probably had no idea of the increased danger Copper should have told her Even though it wasn’t true and uys considered Shell Copper’s woman They steered clear of her and differed to hi her up with a shadow?
