“Sage bought a second-hand truck and it’s been acting up, so she brought it to the bodyshop.”
Sonny’s icy blue eyes narrowed. “Did anyone follow you?”
“Nope. Padraig and his crew were long gone by the time I left the shop.”
“No doubt those fuckers will be back, and we’ll be ready,” Sonny snapped, and Dante glanced at his brother’s face.
Sonny was in lethal prep mode and when that happened, Dante had learned to give him a wide berth. The only one who could come close to taming the beast was Avery, Sonny’s girlfriend.
She was the president’s daughter all right. A terror in her own way but hot headed to Sonny’s cool disposition.
Avery was standing on the porch of the clubhouse, in her usual jeans and sweater. Her baby bump was just starting to show. Just thinking about a kid on their compound had Dante shaking his head. That was craziness right there. A kid in a biker compound? What the fuck was that going to be like?
Then Avery smiled in that way that had Sonny grinning right back at her. Dante would never get used to seeing their lead enforcer like this. One moment Sonny was ready to kill and the next he was mooning over his woman.
Love made sane people go crazy.
“I heard you got an early Christmas present,” Avery quipped as Sonny and Dante walked up the steps to meet her. Sonny opened the door for Avery and Dante followed them inside.
“Gifts like that, I can do without,” Dante stated. “Did Gage ID the ring?”
“We’ll talk about it inside,” Sonny barked as they walked down the narrow hallway to Gage’s office.
Sonny tugged on Avery’s blonde ponytail, and she slapped at his hand.
“Save the kinky play for later,” she teased.
Sonny swatted her ass hard in return. Tussling was foreplay for these two.
“Move it along. I got a party to get to and bitches to fuck,” Dante growled at them.
Sonny and Avery looked at him over their shoulders and chuckled.
“Someone’s cranky,” Avery commented.
“How would you feel if you got a visit from Midnight Carnage and a severed hand to boot?”
Gage’s office door was already open, and they filed in.
Jesse was sitting down beside Gage as they studied the package, their blond heads together. Nate, Xander, and Jackson were sitting opposite, since they were VPs and Gage’s right hands, along with Sonny.
Dante grabbed a seat beside Xander. Then he watched as his president slowly examined the contents of the package.
“Fuck, that reeks.” Jesse grimaced as they all stared at the hand.
“That’s a clean cut. Looks like someone used a machete,” Dante said as he got a closer look.
He’d seen similar dismemberments in his time overseas. His stomach heaved but he reined it in. It wasn’t his first gruesome discovery, and it wouldn’t be his last.
“It’s a right hand. No markings or notable scars. I need something to break the finger and get the ring off,” Gage stated.
“Can’t you just break it with your hand?” Jesse asked.
“This ain’t TV, Jesse. It’s like a fucking claw. Now one of you, get me a goddamn knife or bolt cutter or something to break the fingers open!” Gage bellowed.
“I’ll get it,” Sonny replied calmly and turned.
“Don’t be taking any of Chelle’s cooking knives,” Nate warned.
