King held up his finger and thumb with a small gap between them. “This close to that plane to Alaska, Luna. One text to your dad, and he’ll have your bag packed quicker than you can say Eskimo,” King warned.
Luna stuck her tongue out at King but kept her mouth shut.
Wise.
“I wanna talk to every member of the club.” Ransom looked around. “Alone. I can see how you guys play off of each other, and I don’t want to be in the middle of this three-ring circus anymore. Talking without having to listen to eight guys ping pong back and forth would be nice.”
“What do you think you are going to figure out by talking to us alone?” Demon asked.
“Who knows, but I’d much rather talk to you each alone. And I also want to talk to every person who works at Sultry Knights. Again. From the dancers to the janitors.” Ransom grabbed the photo from the table. “I have to be missing something.”
“Haven’t you already talked to the girls?” I asked. Everything he said he wanted to do, he had already done.
“Not the way I want to. Most of the time, I’m talking to them after a murder. Now I want to talk to them as potential victims. Macy was just murdered, but I’m going to focus on the girls. Try to find something else that is tying the girls together.” Ransom ran his fingers through his hair and sighed.
“You’re going to scare every one of them more than they already are.” Luna propped her hands on her hips. “None of my girls know who is doing this. I’ve talked to them all.” This was part of Luna’s problem. They were her girls, and she thought it was job to protect them.
“And now I’m going to talk to them.” Ransom nodded to King. “I’m going to start with the girls, but your men are next. Don’t go too far.”
King nodded. “We’ll be around.”

p; Ransom walked out and left the door open.
“You can follow behind him, Luna,” King ordered. “You’ve butted yourself in here for long enough. I’m sure you want to be available for your girls while Ransom talks to them.”
Luna scrunched up her nose. I knew she was torn on what to do. She wanted to be here to hear what we were talking about, but she also wanted to be there for the girls from Sultry Knights. “Just know I’m only leaving here because I don’t want Ransom to torture my girls.” Luna flounced out of the room and slammed the door behind her.
“Bro, your sister is a hu—”
I sliced a glare through Easy. I knew what Luna was, but Easy didn’t need to say it. “Whatever she is, she’s still my sister.”
Easy held up his hands. “At least we’re on the same page.”
“I do think we need to talk about how we are going to continue to have all of the girls from Sultry Knights stay at the clubhouse. As time goes on, they are getting restless.” Demon sat back and sighed. “I won’t go into the fact that our money flow is cut more than in half without Sultry Knights operating.”
“How bad is it?” King asked.
Demon shrugged. “It ain’t good. The garage makes us money, but not like Sultry Knights did. We need to get it back open.”
The door opened and Slider walked in. “I’m late, but I’m here,” he called. He sat next to Demon who gave him the quick rundown of what happened before he got here.
“And how would you suggest we get Sultry Knights back open?” King growled.
That really was the million dollar question.
“Well, we shut the club down and the murders are still happening. It’s not like they stopped in any way at all.” Rigid tapped his fingers on the table. “We open the club but make it secure as fuck.”
Zig laughed. “We’ve thought the clubhouse was secure as fuck, and Macy managed to escape last night and get herself murdered.”
Snapper flipped off Zig. “Macy getting herself murdered has nothing to do with me. I watched the front door.”
King ignored Snapper and Zig. “How do you make a place secure when you’re letting anyone off the street inside?” King asked.
Demon lifted a hand. “All I’m saying is if we don’t get the cash flowing, we’re gonna be fucked pretty quickly.”
“But how the hell do we do that?” King thundered. “I get what you are saying, but you’re not helping me to figure out how to do that.”
