“Okay, well, I’ll see—“ she started as she stood beside her car door.
She lost the rest of that sentence as my lips crashed down on hers, kissing her fucking silly right there on the busy street. So deep and so long that she looked a little dazed when I finally pulled away.
“I’ll see you back here in a few hours,” I said, then waited for her to get in her car, lock the doors, and drive off.
Did I wait a bit then drive past her work to make sure she made it there?
Yep.
Then I took my overprotective ass back to Golden Glades.
“How she doing?” Huck asked, already waiting for me, knowing this talk was coming. He’d been through this more than a few times in the past. Each time one of the women somehow got involved in some sort of trouble.
“She’s mostly better. Physically, anyway. Time will tell for the mental shit.”
“It was bad, huh?”
“She still needed to use this tattoo makeup shit to cover up the bruises. But she got lucky, considering this group.”
“Yeahhh,” Huck said with a sigh. “That group…”
“I’m assuming you’ve done some research into them.”
“It’s not a small organization,” Huck said, tone resigned, knowing that wasn’t going to stop me from getting some sort of retribution. At the very least to the man who’d put his hands on Rynn.
Did I want to take all the fucks out? Sure. But I also had to understand if Huck could only okay me taking out the one who did the damage to my girl.
“Yeah, I figured. It shouldn’t be too hard to find who this guy was. She stabbed him in the face.”
“Okay. I can get behind you tracking him down and taking him out. Somewhere rural where you can’t be seen or have it traced back to you. I just don’t think we have the numbers right now to take on that entire crew. We’re working on that, but from what Seeley is saying, they have us three times over. At the very least. I can’t risk everyone right now.”
“I get that. So long as I can handle this one guy, I’ll be satisfied with that. Can I get on that now? Want to find him before his face heals.”
“Yeah. We got some extra hands here now, so I can spare you. But be careful. Don’t be stupid. I know you get off on the adrenaline, but you got a woman to think of now.”
Yeah, that was a first.
I’d rarely considered the consequences of my actions. Because it didn’t really impact anyone but me. Sure, Levee and Seeley would be upset if I died, but it was different.
I had a woman to come home to now.
I had a future I was curious to try to build with her.
I had no clue what a life with a woman like Rynn might be, but I was excited to find out.
“I’m just going to… look around for now. I will let you know before I make a move.”
“Sounds good. Be smart,” he said, slapping me on the shoulder, then moving past me to head back to his own family.
I checked in with Seeley and Levee, each offering to help me, but I brushed them off, figuring I was just going to do some basic surveillance.
With that in mind, I grabbed some food, cold drinks, and an extra large coffee that I stashed in the club SUV that I was borrowing for this task, before heading back out of Golden Glades, and toward the street where Rynn had explained the warehouse was located.
Everything was shut down and inconspicuous in the daylight. If you didn’t know better, you would just assume it was one of a few abandoned warehouses in the general area.
I did see a couple of those fucks who ran the club moving in after, I assumed judging by the bags in their hands, had gone out to get lunch.
I was just thinking of heading out to go grab some damn binoculars because I didn’t anticipate having to park so far back from the club to not be noticed when, suddenly, about half a dozen black sedans with blackout windows came rushing down the street, parking blocking the entire area off to traffic.
