I glance at the couch where Bitsy is fast asleep. I fucking hate what these treatments are doing to her.
“Yeah,” I say. “Just don’t get too close to her. She has a weakened immune system right now and can’t afford to catch so much as a sinus cold.”
“We’re heading that way now. Is there anything she needs that we can pick up on the way?”
“Maybe some saltine crackers,” I answer. “That’s always her go-to these days and we’re down to a single pack.”
“You got it, brother. We’ll be there soon.”
“She’ll be glad to see you all,” I tell him. “She’s been asking to come and see everyone.”
“Can’t wait to see my little sister, too,” Ghost says. “Love ya, brother. Be there in a few hours.”

Bitsy bounces with excitement when the doorbell rings.
Chuckling, I open the door and stand aside as she hurtles herself toward each and every one of my brothers, hugging them all as tightly as her frail body can.
“So much for weakened immune system,” Ghost laughs.
“I didn’t breathe and I’m going to go wash my hands,” she says, stepping back with a bright smile on her face. “I’ve missed you all so much.”
“We’ve missed you, too, sis,” Blaze says. “So much so that when we stopped to pick you up some crackers, we also got you this.”
Blaze moves his hand from behind his back and holds out a large basket.
“It’s a self-care basket,” Steel says beside Blaze. “We’ve added a soft blanket, some slippers, a journal, Mandela coloring books, and markers, as well as some snacks that will be easy on your stomach.”
Bitsy sniffs before hurtling herself, once again, to each of my brothers and hugging them.
“You guys are so kind,” she says when she steps to my side with her new basket. “Thank you so much.”
“Why don’t you go and relax on the couch, baby,” I tell her. “We need to talk club business.”
Without a single complaint, she walks to the couch with her basket and turns the volume up on the tv.
“I wasn’t expecting that,” Venom chuckles. “I guess growing up in the MC life has ingrained club rules into her head.”
“Let’s go, brothers,” Ghost says, his playful candor now gone.
“What the fuck is all of this about?” I ask once everyone settles at the table.
“We’re being targeted by someone who can’t take a loss,” Venom answers.
“I’m going to need some more information,” I quip. “What the fuck happened?”
Ghost sighs before pulling out his phone and handing it to me.
“I got notified this morning that The Cage was broken into.”
I watch the video as several people wearing black masks break the window to the Cage and completely wreck the place.
“By the time we got there, they were already gone,” Venom says. “We don’t want the police in on this because it’s too close to the lower Cage.But we might want to consider calling in some allies in case this shit goes any deeper.”
“How do you know it was someone who lost money on a fight?” I ask, handing Ghost back his phone.
“They left a message,” Ghost answers. He fiddles with his phone before handing it back to me.
