“She’s still at the house with her brother Figured I’d give the, and they should be here soon” Outside of his brothers, Scott was the only man he trusted to keep Chloe safe

One of Copper’s red eyebrows arched “Straight-laced Scott is gonna step foot in a biker clubhouse? The world ending, and I don’t know about it?”

With another grunt, Rocket shook his head

“You pissed about his visit or so?”

“Nah He’s a good guy” Though he’d nearly ripped Rocket’s head off when Rocket gave him the heads up to remain alert at all times

“So why the fuck you sitting here with a fucking glohen everyone else is eating, drinking, and being fucking merry?”

Behind theed, drinks were consumed, and Beth made every biker in the club kiss her cheeks under the ‘missy toe’ Even if he wanted to be just a little less antisocial today, Rocket couldn’t bring himself to join the festivities Hopefully, when Chloe arrived, she could drag him out of his funk

“It’s nothing, Cop Just got some shit on my mind” Shit that meant bad news for the club Shit he ca the Chro himself to reveal until Christmas had passed Instead, he ruminated on the information alone

“Bullshit”

“Scotch, Prez?” Thunder asked as he strode over

Copper nodded but kept his attention Rocket’s way “Spit it the fuck out, Rocket My wo bother her today So open your fucking mouth and talk”

“Can we do this toot shit to say that’ll likely fuck this day for you”

Copper’s eyes narrowed, and he set his glass down, all attention on Rocket “Talk”

Fuck Looked like he wasn’t getting out of it

“Got some intel on Crank”

“Fuck” Copper downed the few fingers of Scotch in one large gulp “Let uess, you’re not about to tell me he fled town, are you?”

Pointing to his glass for a refill of the straight vodka he’d been consu, Rocket shook his head “Not even close, brother”
