“Not gonna ask again, Desi. Tell us everything you know.”
She swallowed hard and squeezed Mimi’s hand. “They know about the Royal Bastards MC and they’re planning to take you down.”
“How?” I asked, my voice hardly more than a growl.
“I didn’t get all the details. I’m sorry,” she blubbered, a tear slipping down one of her cheeks. “I know they have some warehouse setup for porn that they’re planning to use. I’ve been there a few times. Most of the ride I’m usually blindfolded but the last time I was there I saw the sign outside.”
“What was the name of it?”
“VidComm Industries.”
“Anything else?” Rael asked, taking a threatening stance.
“No. I swear.”
He ticked his head in my direction. “We need to talk to Grim.”
My gaze shifted to Mimi. “I’ll be back soon.”
“Go take care of business. I’m not going anywhere.”
Despite the situation I couldn’t help but grin at those words. “See ya soon, sunshine.”
“The Scorpions and Russians have a partnership with VidComm Industries,” I announced, staring around the table. Grim started church five minutes ago as we sat down to decide our next move. “Desi confirmed that she’s been to their warehouse a few times and it’s their main porn site.”
“She seemed reluctant to tell us that the BSMC and Russians are working together and they’re planning to set us up somehow,” Rael added. “My guess is that is has something to do with that warehouse and the shipment they’re expecting. I just can’t figure out how that would matter if we’re not the ones supplying the girls.”
Hannibal flicked the metal lighter in his hand open and closed as he frowned. “Got to be another reason.”
“That’s my thought,” I agreed. “We need to put our heads together and figure out what leverage Jones and Resnikov think they have against us.”
“None that I’m aware of,” Grim complained, scowling as he leaned back in his chair. “Those Russians like to play games. We know that shit from Voltoy and Solonik.”
“They do,” Wraith responded, staring in my direction. “Have you talked to Naomi yet?”
“About?” I asked, immediately defensive.
“The shit that went down while she was a captive. She’s got to know some inside shit, brother. Now that Desi is here it’s gonna make having that conversation easier.”
Exorcist shrugged. “He’s right. Club is in danger and the Crossroads is at risk. We can’t take any chances.”
Mammoth’s gruff voiced added to the fuckin’ peanut gallery. “Club comes first, Patriot. Not sayin’ this doesn’t suck but we need to know everything that she does. It’s all our asses on the line.
”
They were right. I knew that but I still didn’t like it. “I know.” Scrubbing a hand down my face, I stood to my feet. “The sooner the better. I’ll be in touch when I know something.”
My heart gave a funny little lurch when I thought of having this conversation with Mimi and how it might hurt her to dig into her past. All those rapes, the beatings, the torment. It was fucking cruel to ask her to confront it all but I didn’t have a choice. The club was first and the other lives that we were responsible for that included ol’ ladies and club girls.
I left the chapel and headed straight for the guest room where Desi was staying. Shadow opened the door without a word as I approached, giving me a chin lift as I walked inside. Kid had suddenly become my first choice to protect Mimi and it was a bit weird to admit that I wasn’t pissed at him anymore.
“Katya misses you, Trixie. She’s not doing well.”
“I knew Katya was in trouble when she said she was pregnant. What did they do?”
Desi let out a sob, tucking her chin into her chest. “Sean beat her when he found out. He fucked her up, Trix. When she didn’t miscarry, he said she would stay pregnant and they would sell her baby once it was born.”
Mimi paled, gasping as she shook her head. “No! That son of a bitch!”
