Chapter Seven
Torin shook his head, then he sighed.“Unfortunately, yes, they did.The one that threw the grenade was laid out unconscious.The rest of them were far enough away from the explosion that they were clear of the blowback.But they didn’t stick around long enough to check on the one that caught the full blast.They all ran away like the cowards they are.”
Daisy nodded.“Yeah, they would have turned their backs on anyone to save themselves.They don’t care who gets hurt, but that means they will be back for round two.And this time they will come with more men, more guns, just more.”
Torin nodded.“Yeah, but now we’ve seen how they work.So we sort of know who and what we’re up against.They’re gonna bring more guns?Well baby, so will we.As soon as Thumper gets here, he’ll bring in men with him.”
Pope and a few others came to the door.
Pope nodded at her.“You were right, your jackass brother tossed a grenade over the fence hoping to blow up the clubhouse.But thanks to you, we had a sharpshooter on the roof and he blew that grenade up in midflight.Your brother was tossed downed by the blast and the others just ran.They didn’t even stop to see how he was.Thank you for that tip.You saved our lives today and we don’t forget that sort of thing.”
Daisy shook her head.“They’ll be back.With bigger numbers, they always do if they don’t get what they want the first time.A lot of people don’t expect that.”
“Any idea who will be with them?Torin asked.
“Probably Satan and his men.”Daisy sighed hard.“My father would consider this a show of good faith.Of course he’ll tell Satan that the whole mission is compromised because I stole the plans and am threatening to spill everything to the cops.”
Pope shook his head.“So he’d throw you under the bus and tell Satan that you need to die if they hope to go into business together?That’s harsh.”
“That’s my father.”Daisy replied.“As long as I’m alive I’m a threat to him and he knows this.”
“You think Satan will stay on your dad’s side?”Patch asked.
Daisy nodded.“Yeah, he will, he won’t have a choice.You see, my father has something on Satan and that whole mc.I don’t know the details but he wouldn’t be this eager to bring them in if he wasn’t so sure they would stand beside him.”Shaking her head she shifted in the bed, “You can almost bet he has something on Satan and his MC.”
Pope took a slow gaze around the room then he paused.
Fox sat at a table and he looked a little uncomfortable.
Pope narrowed his eyes and glared at him.“What?You know something about this we don’t, Fox?”
Fox shook his head.“Not for sure, boss.But several years ago Satan was about to be thrown out of the MC when suddenly the old President, Dagger, went missing.After the third day of searching, they found what was left of him in the desert and from what I can remember it wasn’t pretty.There had been a crash but a man like Dagger never rides alone.Satan had been VP back then, so he just stepped up but there were just too many questions left unanswered at the time.Satan stepped up and into Dagger’s shoes then led the MC into what it is today.The questions just sort of faded away after that.”
Pope looked a little uneasy as he glanced at Torin and Patch.“You think that’s what Demon found out?”
Torin shrugged.“Don’t know.But it is an interesting theory.”He looked over at Daisy and asked, “Would he use something like that against Satan?”
Daisy nodded as she looked grim.“In a heartbeat, you bet he would, but he’d also have undeniable proof as blackmail.Like something Satan wouldn’t want to be exposed with.The question is where did he get it and what exactly is it?”
“Well on that we can only speculate.”Pope shrugged.“I guess we have to wait and see if it's Satan and his boys that come back here.“Damn, we need Thumper here now rather than later.”He grabbed his phone and sent a new message text to Thumper.
Daisy looked at Pope and said, “Look at the flash drive I gave you, there might be something on it about what my father has on Satan.”
Fox got up and left Torin’s room.
Pope studied Daisy again.When she met his gaze he asked her softly, “You really think your father would be dumb enough to keep his blackmail evidence on his computer?”
Daisy nodded.“Yeah, he would be that stupid.He honestly doesn’t think anyone in that house would cross him that way.He knows the boys wouldn’t and he would never figure I had the guts to grab any of it.He thinks he has complete control under his own roof.But he forgets that I have a brain and I’ve been waiting for the chance to get away from them all.Since the day he came back without my mother with some sob story about how a gator snatched her.That was just a lame excuse and he knew that even when he said it.”
“Yeah, Thumper is definitely gonna want to talk to you when he gets here.”Callum gave her a nod.
Daisy paused to look at him then she looked back over at Pope.‘Where is my brother?The one they left behind?”
“We dumped him in a cell,” Pope told her as he shrugged.“He wasn’t hurt by the blast, just knocked out by the percussion from it.”He crossed his arms over his chest.“I don’t trust him any further than I can throw him.So he is locked up.”
