Page 50 of April’s Fool

“Fool,” Hazard snaps. “You need to get your shit together before I lock your ass down.”

“Don’t tell me to get my shit together when it’s because of him. My wife took off because she thinks it’s me who was fucking around on her.” I snarl, rage flowing through my veins like I haven’t felt since being out in the field and watching my brothers fall around me.

“Let him go, Hazard,” Cannon orders. “Let him do his thing and get it out of his system.”

Hazard moves and lets out a breath.

The prospect stumbles back, eyes wide. “Please, I didn’t think anything of it.”

“Bullshit,” I snarl, lunging at him and taking him to the floor once again.

“He didn’t know why I took him in there,” DeeDee screams. Her words are the only thing that halts my fist before it makes contact.

“Explain,” Cannon commands.

Pushing away from the prospect, I level my gaze on her, watching her pale face as she twists to look at Venus, then back to us. “Venus asked me to do it. She said she’d make it worth it, but this isn’t worth it. I’m sorry. She just wanted to get April out of here.”

“Excuse me?” Kayla demands. I hadn’t seen her until now.

“She said that if I took the prospect up to Fool’s room, it would be open, and we could have some fun and let April hear us so she’d leave.”

“I did not. We voted, remember?” Venus snaps.

“Bitch, you don’t get to vote shit in a club,” Kayla sneers. “You think your shit doesn’t stick just because you think you have a place in this club. Trust me, it reeks. I don’t even have a vote, and I’m the daughter of a VP. It’s a boys’ club, and you just get to be here.”

Venus glares and crosses her arms. “You and that bitch all think you’re hot shit because you came from another club. Well, we’ve been here longer. We get a say in things around here. That bitch is going to get what she deserves. Probably already has by now.”

Kayla launches herself at Venus, taking the whore to the ground. No one moves to stop her as she whips, fighting like a damn man, no hair-pulling. Venus doesn’t get a chance to fight back with how violently Kayla goes at her. Whoever taught her to fight knows what they’re doing.

“Get her up,” Cannon orders after giving Kayla a few minutes. Hornet moves in with Trench, while Hazard sticks to me to drag Kayla away from Venus.

“Come on, Spitfire, let’s get you some ice on your hands. Last thing we need is for your dad or pops to get pissed at us because you busted your knuckles,” Hazard remarks, curling an arm around her.

“Dad doesn’t even know I’m here,” Kayla mutters.

I snort and shake my head at her remark. If she wants to think that, let her. But I’ve spoken with Horse myself, along with Cannon. The man knows where his daughter is and that she didn’t return to school. He’s giving her time to figure shit out for herself, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t checked in on her. The same goes for her mom.

“I need to hit the road,” I announce, gritting my teeth.

“I’m with you,” Hazard announces.

“Wrench and I will also be joining,” Cannon declares.

“I will be riding as well,” Rex booms from just inside the door, Lola at his side. “I don’t know what the fuck is going on here, but I’m going with. You can fill me in when we get there.”

“I’ll get back to my computers and send you a location whenever she stops,” Rimfire says.

“Send me the coordinates for her phone first.” I’m not going after the car until I make sure it’s just her phone and not her.

“Will do,” Rimfire grunts, then heads for the stairs.

Sucking in a breath, I clench my fists and head for the doors. I’ve wasted enough time already, but retribution needs to be dealt with.

Behind me, I hear Cannon shout, “When I get back, you better not be here. You’re fuckin’ out. Torpedo, take his cut and see him off club property.”

“You got it, Prez,” Torpedo growls.

I ignore all of this as I head for my bike. My only thought process now is getting on the road, finding my woman, and making things right. I get that she’s hurt, and it’s going to take a hell of a lot to get her to believe it wasn’t me in our room with another woman, but I’ll fight like hell to prove it to her.
