He glared, lip curling. “I believe she’s in danger with this criminal. He probably has her locked in a cell on his compound. God only knows what he’s doing to her. You should really investigate, Sheriff. Women are disappearing. Being sold to the highest bidder.”
I took a step, but Track moved in front of me to block me from fuckin’ Miller. How in the hell did Miller know about the women? Track growled low, seething like me.
“Noted, deputy. Be on your way. I don’t need any help protecting my town.” Hendricks put himself between Miller and me, backing him up toward his car.
“Later, Storm. I’ll check in with Madeline soon.” He adjusted his crotch as if merely saying her name got him hard.
The fuck he would. I hopped on my Harley and took off without waiting for Track.
Miller would die by my hands if he went near Madeline.
I called Raul via Bluetooth.
“Storm.”
“Call church! I’ll be there in thirty!”
Back at the clubhouse, I was hanging by a thread. Nostrils flared, on the edge of exploding. It’d been an hour or more since I saw deputy fuckin’ Miller. My heart had yet to slow to a normal rhythm. With everyone in church, I yelled about the whole damn thing. The more I shouted at my brothers, the more I thirsted for blood. The savage in me rattled the cage I’d locked him in, begging to be freed.
Throwing back my fourth shot, I shut my eyes then squeezed them tight and exhaled. Nope, I didn’t feel better. Nothing would make me feel better except Miller’s head on a silver platter.
“Does everyone understand my expectations?” my gaze swept across the room. Every council member was present, and so were the patched members. The room was bursting at the seams. “Miller is to go nowhere without eyes on him. At all fuckin’ times!” I roared. “He’s hiding something, I know he is. My mind is much too creative. It’s fabricating shit left and right. I want answers!”
Grunts filled the air.
“Any questions?” I barked.
“No,” shouted my brothers, like a war cry.
“Then get out there and do what needs to be fuckin’ done. Get your pussy tonight motherfuckers. Come tomorrow, you won’t get any more until the state is clear of Hunters.” I banged the gavel and poured me another shot. “And Deputy fuckin’ Miller!”
They rose their fists in the air, joining my cause. After a few moments of watching them pile out of the room, I forced a breath.
Raul had stayed behind. During the meeting, I could tell he had more to say. He wasn’t a big mystery like his son, Track. Raul wore his heart on his sleeve and his thoughts were etched on his tan, leathery face.
“What?” I drummed my fingers on my glass.
“Let me call your old man, David.”
“Abso-fuckin’-lutely not.” I ground my teeth. Was he out of his goddamned mind? Call my dad?
Raul drew in a slow breath, then released it. “Prez, we need reinforcements.”
“Then I’ll call in a marker with the Soldiers.”
“You already did.” He pressed his lips thin as if trying to hold back his frustration.
I leveled my eyes on Raul. “This ismyclub. I said, no.’
Raul rubbed his hand along his scruffy jaw. “Yes, Prez.” He sighed. “Don’t let this shit with Miller steer you off track. He’s just an asshole trying to get under your skin.”
“He’s trying to fuck with my woman.”
“No, he’s trying to fuck with you. So you’ll make a mistake. Then he’ll throw your ass in jail.” He knocked his knuckles on the table. “Don’t give him an inch, Storm. He might be a pussy, but he wears the badge. Don’t get emotional. Believe me. I’ve been waiting eleven years to avenge Tina for what Gallo did to her. It hasn’t been easy.”
“You’re a stronger man than I am.”
Raul snorted, standing from his chair. “Bullshit. I’m just old and preserving my energy before I tear that motherfucker to shreds. You coming?” He jerked his head at the door.
