Cross stood at the edge of the property, concealed by overgrown brush. On any given visit, the Satan’s were always partying. People milling around the driveway, front yard and in the back. Tonight? It was silent.
“It’s quiet.” Cypher said.
Cross nodded, surveying the house. “Too quiet.”
Ghost sidled up next to him. “You think they know we’re coming?”
It was a gamble. Satan’s could be planning their own ambush. Most seasoned members of the club would’ve known better than to fuck with anyone in Killcreek. The guys who attacked Addison were newer members of Satan’s. They probably didn’t realize they’d made a grave mistake.And now you’re gonna find out.
“I think they know something.” Ace said, turning to Cypher. “How many points of entry on their clubhouse?”
“Three. Front, left side and the back. They got cameras but it’s dated shit. Grainy footage, at best. It’s playback, not monitored. So unless someone is watching in real time, they have no idea we’re here.”
And they wouldn’t until the last second.
“How we going in?” Ghost asked.
“You and Wraith cover the front. Oak, Gent, and Cypher take the side. Cross, Cue, and I got the back. Treating this like a hostile takeover,” Ace said, and the men spread out.
They walked up the driveway, and much to their surprise found two women near the door.
Cross had seen them both before at the clubhouse. One wasn’t memorable. The other one? He glanced over his shoulder, sharing a look with Cue. The brother’s eyes shifted to the clubwhore he’d taken adeniedinterest in.
The women hadn’t initially seen them but when they started across the yard, the redhead glanced over and immediately froze. Her gaze scanned over them, landing on Cue. Her cheeks immediately shaded to pink.
“Hi.” Her voice shook slightly but she didn’t appear scared.
“They around?” Ace asked.
The redhead smiled, stepping forward, but the other woman grasped her wrist and jerked her away.
“No party tonight.” She snapped, scowling at them.
“Yeah,” Ace laughed. “We’re not here to party.”
“Well then what do you need?”
Ace hardened his stare “That’s none of your fucking business.”
“They’re inside,” the redhead blurted. “Do you want me to tell them you’re here?”
Ace gestured to the building. “Just open the door.”
She started forward, but the other woman tightened her grip, muttering, “Eden.”
It was a clear reprimand. Cross glanced over at the steel door. The keypad entry would be a problem. It would take longer to break through. Even for Cypher it would take a few minutes,which they didn’t have to spare. It would give the Satan’s a heads up to their presence.
Cue moved passed Cross and stopped in front of Eden. Her eyes widened and her blush deepened. Cue towered over her by a foot and she had to crane her neck to look up.
“You know the code, Eden?”
“No, she doesn’t.” The other woman snapped.
Cue jerked his head. “Wasn’t talking to you.”
“I know the code.” Eden whispered.
The corner of his mouth curled, his harsh features softened and Cue leaned closer. “Then open it for me,Eden.”
