“No, Gracie It has to be now”

“But…”

Hawk turned to Trigger “You cover the front door No one cooes”

“On it, VP”

Hawk tookto bewithoutelse happened Looking down atunder his breath and turned to randfather “Uncle Jack, eyes on that motherfucker Bates”

“I’ve got this, boy You just go deal with Jenks”

“Hawk—” I began, ready to argue my point further, but he shot me a look that told me I could walk or be carried

Clenching my jaw, I pulled my hand free of his and walked into the clubhouse behind Jenkins I followed hiet the MC’s president Closing the door behind us, I turned to my boss “What’s this about?”

“I don’t want to have to tell it twice, Gracie Let’s wait for the other two, okay?”

My brows lifted toward the ceiling Jenkins never hesitated to tellHe kneould need to know eventually anyway, so there was no use in keeping it from me But now that ere alone, I saw just how stressed my boss was His face was drawn and pale, his eyes full of exhaustion He wasn’t just the MC’s lawyer, but also a private investigator when needed When he retired, I was really going to have my work cut out for me where they were concerned

Hawk closed and leaned back against the door while Bash crossed to his desk and leaned back against the front of it “What’s going on, Jenks?”

“A few things, actually” Jenkins ly, I sat in one of the chairs in front of the desk “One, Bubbles was spotted outside Creswell Springs last night”

“Fucking cunt,” Bash snarled “Where is she? I want her brought to ht the fuck now”

The old lawyer lifted his hands, urging Bash to calet your hands on her Just shut up now, so I don’t knohat you plan to do with her I can’t defend you if I know your part in it”
