“What the hell was that? What type of place have we moved to?” I shrieked, although it was muffled against his chest.
“This wasn’t Hellfire. That was a rogue club. Venomous Fangs. They’ve been trying to take over this part of South Dakota,” Levi announced, a big hand rubbing my back. It felt kind of nice, to be honest.
“Well, well, well, what do we have here?” Tami cooed from behind.
I realised I was still clinging to Levi and stepped away, straightening my dress. Tami’s wide-eyed gaze took Levi in, and then she winked at me.
“This is Levi,” I said lamely.
“Oh, the hero from the douchebag the other night?” Tami simpered, and I felt like slapping her. The only time she acted like this was when she was testing someone.
“Hero?” Levi demanded, cocking an eyebrow.
“From the douche canoe,” Tami elaborated.
“Ah yes, our disastrous dates.” Levi chuckled.
“Anybody hurt here?” a voice asked, and a tall Hispanic man stepped out from behind Levi.
“We’re all good, Lio. Anyone injured from the road?” Levi questioned, turning to the guy.
“No, it was fuckin’ lucky. Do you think the target was Hellfire or just to cause madness?” Lio sought.
“Chaos,” Brandy answered as she walked down the stairs. I noticed Lio give her an appreciative once-over. “I saw them arrive. They were aiming at people and the shops, and when that gang came out opposite, they began to concentrate on them.”
“We are a club,” Levi corrected Brandy.
“Whatever,” Brandy dismissed.
“No, lady. A gang is what those fuckers were. We’re a club governed by rules and regulations, and we work with the police, not against them,” Levi said firmly.
“And speaking of cops, I’m Detective Emilio Hawthorne. My partner, Detective Justin Gold, is also here. If you witnessed everything, would you be willing to give a statement?” Lio asked.
“Sure. Ain’t got nothing to hide,” Brandy replied, and I winced. Lio’s eyes narrowed in curiosity. Her tone offered up that, usually, she had something to hide.
We were saved by Cami bouncing down and attaching herself to Brandy’s back.
“Does this always happen around here?” Cami demanded.
“No. But unfortunately, the Venomous Fangs are hitting towns and localities randomly,” Lio replied, studying her.
“It worth this shit? Maybe we should sell up and leave?” Tami asked, frowning.
“No!” Levi exclaimed, his gaze on me. A slight flush hit his cheeks as everyone turned inquiring eyes on him. “Spearfish is safe. Let us prove that to you. No need to start again after all your hard work.”
Aw, Levi was cute when he was scrabbling for an answer.
“We’ll see. I’m more worried about the guy who marked me,” I murmured, thinking back to his face.
“Marked you?” Levi demanded.
“Yeah, when he first saw me, something nasty showed in his eyes. When he was leaving, he kept an eye on my building. It was as if he was marking me,” I explained.
“That’s not good,” Lio stated as his brows drew together.
“These people dangerous?” Brandy asked.
“Yes. Very. There have been some skirmishes between them and local clubs, and they are also pushing against the police. There is no doubt the Fangs are ramping up activity. They want power and control of the towns, and we’re not about to roll over and show our bellies,” Lio said.
