He would die in it. Die with honor and loyalty to the club.
As for his heart… it was loyal to one thing - Josie.
* * *
Reese madehis rounds on his own. He went to the storage unit again to dig around in memories that smelled of must and time. Looking at pictures of days gone by and letters his father had written about the club only pissed him off even more. He even found the letters he and Josie used to write to each other when they weren’t allowed to see each other. They had a secret meeting place where they would leave letters for each other.
From the storage unit he went to the cemetery to visit Lasz. There wasn’t much to say, so Reese crouched and thought about a lot of things. Everything went back to Josie though. That was just how life worked out. When it came to the MC life, at least they knewDRMhad nothing to do with the drugs. And the little spat withDRMwould definitely kick up some extra heat, but that’s how it went. Now they needed to shift their focus to therunners, who had been on good terms with Back Down Devil for almost a year now. If they were starting to run rogue and force a supply through town, then things were going to get very messy.
After the cemetery visit, Reese cruised the open and winding roads for a little while longer. One thing that caught his attention was the police activity. He felt watched and he felt followed. He was certain that Colt was going to be pushing harder at the club sooner rather than later. The big heads that tried to break up Frelen and Daurian would definitely make their way into Watersald. It was only a matter of time. What they needed to do was find a way to contact the guys from Frelen and ask what to look for and how to prepare. Miller was loyal to the MC and would help.
But before all that…
Reese had one more place to go.
He went to Josie’s and had a smoke before walking to her door and knocking. When she answered, she was in a hoodie and a pair of jeans. No shoes. No socks. Her hair sloppily pulled back. She was the most beautiful sight that Reese had ever seen.
And she was surprised to see him.
“Reese…”
“Where’s Steph?”
“Working.”
“What?”
“She got a job at one of the diners. She insisted on working to make her own money.”
“Okay then… wow…”
“She’s working until nine and then going to a friend’s.”
“Why?”
“She’s eighteen, Reese. She’s an adult. I don’t really know anymore.”
Reese gritted his teeth. “She’d better not do anything stupid…”
“Her life, Reese.”
“Now you’re a hard ass?”
“What choice do I have?”
Reese slowly nodded. “Hawk was right. Protecting me was what he did.”
“What?”
“We’re trying to figure out this drug thing, Josie. What Starla had on her was serious.”
“Come in here, Reese.”
He stepped into the apartment and shut the door.
Josie went to the fridge and got two beers.
It made Reese feel a certain way that she knew everything about him.
