“Well, we can always take off,” Bowie offered. “It worked the first time we had to deal with Dante. It could work again. This time, we won’t be able to head to Texas since he knows about the house there.”
“We can barricade ourselves in here and protect what’s ours,” Savage said.
“No,” Dallas protested. “The kids can’t go through that. Chloe has already been through enough. I say we run.”
“I’m with Dallas,” Cillian said. “We aren’t safe here. We’ll be sitting ducks.”
“But, where will we go?” Viv asked. “Won’t we be just as vulnerable out there, with no place to go?”
“She’s right,” Savage said. “We need a safe, secure place to land. One that Dante has no idea exists. Suggestions?”
“I can fly us anywhere,” Ryder piped up from his spot in the corner. “Just say the word.”
“The problem is where?” Cillian asked.
Repo stood next to Viv and she could hear his sigh. “I don’t go around sharing this, but I have a cabin in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. It can accommodate all of us.”
“I didn’t know you were from Tennessee,” Savage said.
“No one does. In my line of work, I don’t share my home address with anyone. I have a place here in town but try to get to the cabin as much as possible. It’s yours if you need it, Savage,” Repo offered.
“Thanks, man,” Savage said. “I think that’s going to be our best option if we chose to run. We stay here, we’re sitting ducks—I get that. But if we leave, we can be picked off just as easily. Let’s put this to a vote, just like club business.”
“What about non-club members, Viv asked. Do we get a vote?” She knew that Cillian was considered a Savage Hell honorary member but he wouldn’t be able to vote in their meetings.
“This isn’t church,” Savage said. “Everyone gets a vote tonight. We each have something to lose in this. So, those in favor of staying put and holding our ground?”
Viv looked around their small circle as Savage and Hart put their hand up. “Well, it looks like we’re packing up and heading to Repo’s cabin then if it’s just the two of us.”
“I’ll have the plane gassed and ready. Remember, I can only take eighteen passengers,” Ryder said.
“And, I’ll call my housekeeper to open up my cabin and stock it,” Repo said.
“Can you trust her?” Cillian asked.
“Him and yes,” Repo said. He’s ex-Navy and honestly, I’d trust him with my life. Doc’s like a brother to me. He watches the cabin while I’m here or chasing down a runner.”
“A runner?” Cillian asked.
“Yeah, I chase down people who fail to show up for arraignment—you know, bail jumpers,” Repo said.
“I’m familiar with the term,” Cillian said.
“Well, it keeps me away for weeks or even months at a time. I don’t get home to Gatlinburg as often as I’d like,” Repo admitted. Viv noted the sadness in his voice and wondered if he left his home in Tennessee running from something or even someone.
“Fine, get everything in place. We leave in thirty minutes,” Savage ordered.
“Can I help you pack for the kids?” Viv asked Dallas.
“Absolutely,” Dallas said. “With three kids, I need all the help I can get.” Viv smiled up at Cillian and he nodded.
“You go ahead. You’ll need the practice of packing for our little one, soon enough,” Cillian said.
