CILLIAN
Kill tossed and turned for a half hour and he decided to finally give in to his grumbly stomach and go in search of something to eat. He quietly slipped from the bed, careful not to wake Viv. She was exhausted and needed her rest, especially if he was going to keep his promise and take her back to Huntsville in the morning.
He bumped into Savage in the hallway and he followed Kill into the kitchen. It was the middle of the night and neither wanted to wake any of the others. “How’s Viv?” he asked.
Cillian smiled and nodded, “She’s sleeping. I told her we can head back home in the morning and she’s beyond excited. I know it’s a bit of a risk, but I also trust Hart. If he says Dante’s dead, I believe him. Why aren’t you sleeping?”
“I heard you wandering around out here and I wanted to check in and make sure everything is good. Viv hasn’t had any more pain?” Savage asked.
“Sorry I woke you,” Cillian said. “And, Viv and the baby are both fine. She just gave her mom and me a little scare.”
“I still can’t believe you’re having a little girl, man?” Savage said, grinning like a complete fool.
“Yep,” Cillian said. “I can hardly believe it myself. If you would have told me just a year ago, that I was going to meet the woman of my dreams and we’d be having a little girl, I would have told you that you were crazy.”
“Well, Bowie, Dallas and I are happy for you. Chloe wants to know if she can help name the baby,” Savage said rolling his eyes.
Kill chuckled, “No—she can’t. Thanks, Savage,” Kill said. He honestly hadn’t been able to stop smiling since they saw their little girl on the ultrasound. “I’m going to make myself a midnight snack. Want to join?” Savage nodded and followed Kill to the kitchen.
Hart stormed into the kitchen and Cillian felt bad that they had woken him. Judging from the look on Hart’s face, Kill knew he wasn’t going to like a word that he was going to say. “Someone want to tell me what the fuck this is?” Hart barked. He held up a tiny piece of metal and Kill knew exactly what it was.
“Bug,” Kill breathed. “Where the fuck did you find it?”
“In my fucking room,” Hart shouted.
Repo and Ryder joined them in the kitchen, both yawning and rubbing the sleep from their eyes. Kill’s little midnight snack was turning into one huge mess. “I put it there,” Repo admitted.
“What the fuck, man?” Hart yelled. “What for?”
“To make sure you were on the up and up, man. You’re not a part of Savage Hell and we don’t know if we can trust you,” Repo admitted.
Hart pointed an accusing finger in Cillian’s direction and Savage growled. “He’s not a member of Savage Hell either. You put a bug in his fucking room?” he asked.
“Keep your voice down, Hart. If you wake up my kids, my wife will have my balls. And for the record, just because Cillian’s not a patched member doesn’t mean he’s not a part of our club, asshole” Savage said. “I’ve known Cillian longer than I’ve known anyone else here. He’s good. You, on the other hand, are new here. I told Repo to put that bug in your room. You have a problem with it, you come to me,” he said. Hart stood toe to toe with Savage and Kill was sure he was going to have to intervene.
“I have a fucking problem with it,” Hart grumbled. “And, I’m officially letting you know.”
“Fair enough, Hart,” Savage said. “I will round up the rest.”
“Rest of what?” Hart asked. “Bugs? You fucker,” he spat. “There are more?”
Savage’s smile was mean, “Yep,” he confirmed. “As I said, I’m protecting my own.”
“You know, I have a mind not to tell you what I found out,” Hart grumbled.
Cillian knew that Hart could be an asshole when he wanted to be. He hated that Hart would keep information they might need, to keep their families safe, and not share it. Savage growled, “You want to keep your fucking head attached to your shoulders, start talking,” he said. The threat seemed to only make Hart want to stall more.
“I thought you agreed to be a part of this team,” Repo said. “I know you’re an outsider, Hart. We’ve all been at one point or another. Hell, it hasn’t been that long since I was new to Savage Hell. We all just have to prove ourselves—you included. Too much is at stake not to speak up. They had little Chloe—we can’t let that happen again,” Repo whispered.
Hart sighed and nodded. “You’re right. I won’t let them take another little girl. My guy on the inside got a message to me. The Dragons have a new Prez,” Hart said.
“What does that mean for the human trafficking business they were running?” Cillian asked.
“It means that we can all safely go home,” Hart said.
“How can you be sure we’ll be safe?” Savage asked. “Do you know who the new Prez is?”
“Yeah,” Hart admitted. “You didn’t hear this from me, but I think the guy can be trusted.”
