There wasn’t a man in the club ould balk at an order issued by their prez Cop already knew all about Rocket’s past, though he was the only one The club had an unofficial full disclosure policy Copper’s policy, really If a guy patched in, the club would have his back in any situation, noback around? The MC would be all over it, no questions asked But that meant full honesty about the skeletons in the closet

Copper wasn’t afraid of a fight, but he fucking hated surprises As long as he knehat a o, he’d take it on So would any of the brothers

Keeping shit from the prez was the ultimate no-no “Esposito,” he said

Copper’s shoulders heaved “Well, fuck,” he said

“Been hounding me I turned off my phone, and that’s why Z couldn’t reachfor you”

Nodding, Copper rubbed his red-bearded chin His signature I’ot killed in the field, I figured it was so like that Ain’t like you to flake on the club”

His laser gaze came back to Rocket’s Copper didn’t say shit, just to say it He knew so on Fuck

“That’s not why I h” Rocket cleared his throat

“It’s the woman, ain’t it?”

He couldn’t help it Rocket laughed though nothing about this situation was funny Leave it to Copper to figure out exactly as going on with histo be stealthy And Rocket could do stealth Copper was just that in tune to the pulse of his club

“It is”

“Hain Lasted about thirty seconds before Copper rested his beefy forearain, right?”

Missing church? Fuck no it wouldn’t happen again He felt shitty enough about it “No, Cop”

“And I trust you aren’t doing shit that would endanger the club?”
