“How’d you and Sarah get here so quick?” War questioned.
“She’d found an old address for Suzanne in Medicine Lodge, and we were heading to check it out. Everyone else was at least an hour away or more.”
Remington patted Scoop’s shoulder. “Thanks, not sure we would have made it otherwise.”
She walked over to Sarah and waited until the sheriff had put the cuffed man in his cruiser. Then Sarah grabbed her and pulled her in for a hug.
“I’m so glad you’re okay.”
“Only thanks to you finding an address for Suzanne. If you guys hadn’t been close, this would have been a different outcome. He say anything before you handed him off?”
“No. Did Scoop identify the bodies?”
“Yes. The only one noticeably absent is Kevin McBaine.” She paused when Sarah brushed her hair back and held something against her forehead. “Could you stop it? That hurts.” Remington tried to bat Sarah’s hand away.
“Quit acting like a baby. Your cut is bleeding into your eye. I swear, for being such a badass, you are a big baby when you’re hurt.”
Oh no, she didn’t just call her a big baby. Those were fighting words in their family. Sarah needed a reminder who was in charge.
“Listen, Sarah...”
Sarah’s hand over her mouth stopped her. “There’s the Remington I know and love. You looked a little like you were going into shock. Nothing like getting angry at your sister to get the blood and adrenaline pumping again.” Sarah’s smirk had her wanting to smack it off her face in the ring. Oh yeah, they didn’t have a ring right now.
She just wanted for everything to go back to normal, well, normal with the addition of War in her life. She wouldn’t give him up for anything. She missed working out at the gym. Winnie had a home gym, but it wasn’t the same. She missed the students she helped, too. Not being able to hang out with them was hard. She’d worry about all the things they needed to work on tomorrow. As long as she was cleared, she was heading home, and War was going to be sleeping right beside her. She needed her man’s arms around her to remind her they were alive.
Chapter Thirty
War watched from thevan, keeping an eye on the front door of the bar. Whiskey had promised to let them know when it looked like the meeting was breaking up. Scoop and Sarah had worked around the clock and forty-eight hours after the attack, they’d found a small thread that tied Kevin to an MC from Oklahoma who was rumored to run drugs and be involved in human trafficking.
This was one of those times when War was okay skirting the law. These men would never go to jail for the crimes they actually committed so War was helping them out. Cannon had secured enough marijuana, fentanyl, and meth to qualify for multiple trafficking charges. They’d be calling in with a tip that they’d seen drugs exchanged. War only wanted Kevin. He was the lynchpin to keeping Remi and their family safe. If he could get anyone else, he’d consider it a bonus.
War gave the sign and Ambush from their Texas chapter casually moved through the parking lot. If War wasn’t looking for him and knew where he was going to be going, he’d never have spotted him. He wanted someone no one could connect with the MC but also had the skills to accomplish the task. Whiskey coincidentally had his cameras unavailable due to an upgrade running. In under three minutes, Ambush was giving the sign they were good to go. Now it was a waiting game. He texted Whiskey the outside part had been accomplished.
While Ambush would be heading back, their Texas chapter’s construction company would be coming for an extended stay. The land purchase had gone through, and Beth’s plans had been approved. The construction company would be working on modifying the existing barn into a gym. They’d set aside two areas for houses for the MC members. His parents were going to stay in their current house until the houses farther inside the property could be built. Then their house would become additional housing for visitors.
After everything they’d been through, he was ready for those with families to be farther inside the property. The MC had voted to also look at opening the racetrack for additional income. His mom was doing a cost analysis. He’d really misjudged her. She was an amazing businesswoman and he made sure he showed her.
