“War, heads up,” Bear whispered while smacking his shoulder. He had been daydreaming a little. He needed to keep his head in the game. Kevin walked out first and got in his car to leave. Bear messaged Scoop to make the call. He was routing it through a couple places so it couldn’t be traced. Bear waited until their target drove a little ahead. War was positive Kevin was too cocky to think he had a tail, but you never knew how paranoid someone was. As Kevin drove through the light, a police K-9 SUV flashed their lights, pulling him over. Bear pulled their car over and parked by another car. The officer got out, walking up to Kevin’s car. Another police cruiser pulled in front of the vehicle, blocking it in. The officer got out, walking up to the right of the vehicle. As he approached, Kevin must have realized how big a deal this was and decided he wanted no part of it.
War watched in amazement as Kevin’s car backed up, hitting the police SUV, then tried to turn. He was pinned in but must have decided anything was worth it and drove his car up onto the sidewalk. One officer was screaming at him to stop while the other ran to his car, trying to head off Kevin’s car on the sidewalk. A third police car with sirens wailing sped by, pulling up onto the sidewalk so Kevin couldn’t reverse.
“We should have popcorn. This guy is an idiot,” Bear grumbled.
War agreed. Kevin didn’t know they’d planted drugs so why was he hell-bent on not stopping for the police? He must have decided he couldn’t go anywhere because he’d stopped the car and had his hands out the driver’s side window. The officers cuffed him and read him his rights. Two of the officers started searching and found the stash they’d placed in the center console and under the driver’s seat. The officer opening the trunk reared back when he opened it. The officer who had been standing by the cuffed Kevin had to tackle him when Kevin tried to run away.
Then two officers were helping a tied-up woman out of the trunk. War had never been so glad he’d bent the rules and had Ambush place the drugs. If they hadn’t called in the tip, who knew where the woman would have ended up and what would have been done to her. Sometimes, the right thing to do didn’t always mean it was law-abiding. War watched a little longer then motioned to Bear to leave.
He had a burning need to hold Remington in his arms and show her how much she meant to him. He’d been burnt out and disillusioned when he left the force. He’d known the MC having a purpose would help with that but more than that, it was Remi. She was the light in his life when he could see only darkness. They may have started off a little rocky, but he wouldn’t change a thing.
He appreciated everything about her because he knew how easy it was to lose what you loved. He’d been petrified when they’d been attacked on the road. In seconds, he could have lost his everything, but they’d been lucky backup was close by. He wanted it all with Remington; kids, a house, and a long life, plus tall fences with barbed wire to keep his family safe. Remi would be all over the tall fences, but she mentioned she wasn’t living anywhere that resembled a prison. He guessed he could understand that.
Wow. Kids with Remi. She took his breath away when she was in her motorcycle boots, tight jeans, leather jacket and sunglasses but imagining her pregnant had him trying to surreptitiously adjust himself.
“Quit thinking about your woman.”
Bear sounded grouchier than normal. He’d tried to check in on how Bear was doing now that they’d been home for a while. Bear had made it clear he had a dad and didn’t need War acting like one.
“It’s hard. She’s absolutely perfect.”
Bear chuckled as he backed out of the parking space. “Yeah, it is, and I don’t need to see it but at least you finally got your head out of your ass and saw what you had in front of you.”
Sometimes having a best friend who knew you too well was fucking annoying.
“Take us home, asshole, I’m ready to see my woman.”
Chapter Thirty-One
Remington glanced atthe newly painted walls and new flooring. It had taken a couple of months, but the gym was finished and officially opening. She was alone in the building because in Winnie’s excitement, she’d forgotten her clothes to wear after they were done with set-up. She’d taken one of the side-by-sides back to her house.
With the addition of the acreage they’d bought and the fencing that had been installed, they’d purchased eight side-by-sides for each large building on the property. If Winnie avoided the pasture where the cattle were then she’d only need to open one gate.
Remington had worried she’d feel uncomfortable being by herself in the gym but with the safeguards they’d put in place and Kevin in jail, she wasn’t. She wasn’t sure what all had gone on but with the charges against him, he’d taken a plea deal. The woman in his trunk hadn’t said anything when rescued by police and had disappeared from the hospital when left alone in the room. Kevin would spend a long time in jail if he survived his stay. In the plea deal, Kevin had been required to admit everything he’d done. He’d admitted he and his mom had gotten a body from a morgue and paid the warden of the prison to release Sneak and report the body as his. The warden had died five years ago so he wouldn’t pay for his part.
Now, if she could get her man to move them to the next level then everything would be friggin’ perfect. They took turns spending the night together when they were able, but she’d like them to be official. Deciding whose place to spend the night in was getting tiresome, especially when War picked his. He’d moved into a small cottage that came available next door to his parents. She didn’t mind being close, but the cottage was small—one bedroom, one bathroom and a kitchen/living room. Granted, it was better than his room in the clubhouse but not by much. She’d had enough of that during their lockdown after they’d been attacked. She was still dealing with the fallout of that. At the sound of a text, she rolled her eyes. And there they were again.
