Chapter Five
Hero
“What in the hell do you mean?” I demanded into the phone.
“One of the girls hasn’t been into work the past two nights, and Luna is on a tear about wanting to go over there to check on her.”
Damn Luna thought she was the mother hen of all of the girls who worked at Sultry Knights, even though most of them were older than her.
“And what exactly does she think she is going to do when she goes over there? Maybe the chick decided she doesn’t want to work anymore. Luna has to get it in her head that these girls are not her friends or daughters she has to take care of. If they can’t punch the damn clock when they are supposed to then they’re done.”
Pie groaned. “You don’t think I’ve tried to tell her that? Damn King for putting me in charge of keeping an eye on Luna. He knows damn well that she doesn’t listen to a word that I say.”
He was right, but Luna needed to get it through her head that Sultry Knights belonged to the club, and she needed to listen to the club about things. “What girl is missing?”
“Bunny.”
I didn’t even know which one of the girls that was. “Does she miss work a lot?”
“Why don’t you just talk to Luna, yeah? I don’t know the answers to your questions.”
The phone was muffled and scratchy, and then, Luna was there. “I can’t believe he called you,” she whined.
“I’m in charge while King is away,” I reminded her.
“But I don’t see what that has to do with me.”
I closed my eyes. “Because you help manage the club that belongs to the Devil’s Knights. The Knights have say in everything you do there, Luna.”
She scoffed, and I imagined she rolled her eyes. Luna was good at that. “I just want to run over to Bunny’s house and make sure she is okay, Hero. I don’t know why you and the club have to have anything to do with that.”
“Luna,” I called, “just take Pie and one of the other guys with you.” Reasoning with Luna was exhausting. She didn’t get the fact that she might be walking into trouble. Most of the girls who worked at the club were on the straight and narrow, and I hoped Bunny was one of those, but you never really knew. Luna may think that she knew her, but she might be a completely different person outside of the club.
“I don’t want to.”
Yeah. That was the type of stubbornness I had to deal with when it came to Luna. No reason why. Just didn’t want to listen. “Do you think I care what you want?”
“You know,” Luna hissed, “King may be a dick sometimes, but I know he has reasoning behind it. You’re just a dick because you want to lord over everyone.”
“You must not want your cushy job of managing the club anymore, Luna, if you think you can talk to me like that.” Making a comfortable ninety grand a year managing a strip club had gone straight to Luna’s head.
“This has nothing to do with my job and everything to do with me wanting to make sure Bunny is okay,” Luna insisted.
I sighed. “Fine, Luna. I get it. Just take Pie and Frost with you. You get eyes on her, find out where she is, and then your ass is back to the club.”
“Yes, father,” Luna grumbled. “I’m not riding on the back of either of their bikes, though,” she argued. “I can drive myself there.”
Of course, she had to have something her way. “I don’t fucking care, Luna. Just make sure they have your back when you knock on her door, you got me?”
“Aye, aye, captain.”
I punched the end button and shoved the phone in my pocket.
The first full day with King gone and I already had to deal with Luna on a tear. I knew she would throw a wrench in my freedom of being prez, but I fi
gured she would have given me a few days before she started throwing her sass and tantrums.
The strip club was only a couple miles down the main road, and I stood facing the clubhouse. I pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and on my first drag, Frost stormed out of the clubhouse.
