Beth went to go inside the door, but hesitated and turned back to Loker “I want to see Lily, but I don’t want Ton upset Would you find him and let him knoasn’t responsible, that Lily will be fine?”

“I will handle it”

“Bring him in to see Lily He won’t rest until he does”

“Beth, on’t intrude” Loker protested

“Bring hiet him,” Beth threatened

Loker s her before she could leave “Beth your first concern should have been for Lily, instead you took the time to comfort a ive out markers, I pay , let me know”

Beth just shook her head at him and went to find Lily’s doctor She wasn’t aware of the incredulity on the faces of the men around her She was the first person, man or women, to have the head of The Last Riders owe a marker

Chapter 7

Beth signed the last paper releasing her sister “Are you ready?”

Lily nodded, then winced at the action Seeing Beth’s worried frown, “I’m fine I just have to remember to keep my head still”

Beth touched Lily’s pale face “Let’s go hoo”

The orderly pushed Lily in a wheelchair to the hospital entrance, Beth followed behind, carrying Lily’s overnight bag Once outside, Beth searched the parking lot for Evie’s car but didn’t see it She was about to reach inside her purse for her cell phone when a dark blue car pulled up in front of them

Razer and Shade both got out of the car Beth could only stare in stunned surprised

Razer opened the back door with a smile at the openly surprised women

“Your chariot awaits ladies,” Razer said with a casual smile

“But Evie is picking us up” Beth protested She didn’t want to get in the close confines of the car with Razer and Lily was looking even unhappier at the idea

“Evie was, but Loker called, he rented this car until yours is repaired He asked us to drop it off to you”

“He shouldn’t have done that, Ton was not responsible for the accident”

“You can take that up with him; Loker didn’t want to leave Ton alone so he asked me I wasn’t busy so here I am Now you ladies ready to roll?”

Beth helplessly rolled her eyes at Lily, stepping back as Razer uided the wheelchair to the waiting car Shade opened the door to the car as Razer pushed the wheelchair as close as possible He turned to Beth

“Get in on the other side and help her slide in” Beth hesitated, but knew she had little choice Going to the other side of the car, she opened the door Once inside, she helped Lily inside the car, carefully adjusting her sprained ankle Lily’s scared eyessmile

“You good?” Shade had bent down next to ask Lily

“Yes” Her response tremulous Lily’s hand reached down to shs Shade’s eyes followed herhis sunglasses His baby blues without the sunglasses hiding theirl faced with a specieously, yet Lily leaned away and averted her face Beth didn’t knohether to be concerned or thankful

Razer shut Beth’s door before getting into the front seat; Shade closed Lily’s door, also getting in the front The ride was quiet for a few minutes before Razer filled the taut silence with innocuous coirls, their stiffened bodies gradually sinking into the luxurious seats The conversation gradually switched to how Lily was enjoying college Her responses were at first stilted, but as she talked about her classes, she became more animated until they pulled up in front of Beth’s house

Razer went to the trunk to get Lily’s overnight bag and crutches after he opened Beth’s door Shade aiting next to an already opened door by Lily,ahen Beth took the crutches from Razer She helped Lily froirl put the crutches under her arh it off

“I guess I am still a little stiff”

With the crutches under her arms, she took a step forward slowly, a s another step forward Her pain was obvious to the onlookers; they all could see she was in extreme pain
