Yeah, he knew why. The few times he dated one, he quickly became bored.
In-your-face women it is!
Indie perched her ass on the desk where he sat.
He’d been scouring the internet for any mention of chaos going down in either Pittsburgh or Columbus between the two criminal organizations.
He had found nothing.
They had heard nothing.
The silence worried him. Did he get ambushed twice for no fucking reason?
“Since you’re sitting here, you obviously survived dinner. How’d you manage that?”
“According to your mother, your father likes me,” he shared.
“Well, since you’re not at the hospital in traction, I’d have to agree with her. So, how was it?”
“Awkward as fuck.”
Indie gave him a toothy grin. “Wait until holiday dinners.”
“Your mother’s a trip. I see why you and your sisters are the way you are.”
She laughed. “I don’t know if that’s an insult or compliment.”
“A little bit of both. A few of the things Jewel mentioned last night might’ve gotten me killed if your father didn’t apparently ‘like’ me.”
“She purposely says shit to wind him up.”
Just like her daughters.
“He’s mellowed a lot in his old age.”
“That’s him mellow?” Reaper asked in surprise. “Good to know.”
“He’s more worried now about pulling a muscle or breaking a bone.”
“You make him sound like he’s ready for the old folks’ home.”
His phone vibrated and he saw a text pop up on the screen. Maybe this was the news he’d been waiting for. T-Bone and Grim had been surveilling some of the Russos’ known locations for blowback from the Chens.
While it wasn’t from either of them, it was still good news.
The message was from Cruz, the assistant manager at the Shadow Valley Gun Shop & Range. UR new AXSR is in. This thing’s fkn sweet!
The AXSR was an upgraded model and was more expensive than his older rifle but with the club owning the gun shop, Reaper would get it at cost.
He had no idea how Dawg, the manager, was able to get one for him, but he also didn’t give a shit.
Reaper responded: How much will it set me back?
While his AXMC had cost him over five grand, this new model listed at over a heart-stopping eleven. That also didn’t include a new scope, tripod mount, and suppressor that those fucking Chens took.
He braced for the total.
Cruz came back with: Not a fkn thing. Club covered it.
