“Be happy, Prez! We got those fuckers now!” Gunnar pounded his fist on the table and howled like a goddamn loon

Chapter Twenty-Six

Moon

The past few days had been tense and everyone was starting to feel stir crazy fro cooped up in the Reckless Bastards compound all week Their hospitality was nice and I felt safe enough to stay, but cabin fever was starting to set in I joined Jana, Teddy, Rocky and Mandy at a picnic table behind the clubhouse filled with food and leroup of friends to sit around and just talk with, and pretend like there wasn’t danger lurking around every corner

“No, not because of the biker thing, Teddy” Not that I could reasonably say anything else while surrounded by four woed to be married to a family of bikers

“It’s the whole still in love with his wife thing” I stared right back at Teddy, daring her to give me a hard time, but she didn’t Instead her expression softened, and she did that sye in me like no other, so I looked away

Probably because he didn’t want to share her with anyone I shrugged off her effort toit wasn’t “People always tell ift, or a curse, I suppose” Though that one ti on her husband with his sister had left even me shocked

“You’re wrong, and scared,” Jana accused, her steely glare daring e her “That’s okay, ere all scared once”
