Jessie has a real smart way of getting people to do what he wants ‘em to, and I hate that he’s right. Me being anywhere near those cult leaders right now is only gonna end one way; with violence and terror.
“How ya plannin’ on casing the joint? Those paranoid fuckers will be on to you the second you get near the perimeter,” Storm asks.
“That’s what I’m trained for. It’s also why I need time. I gotta learn their patterns and once I do, I can figure out a way in.”
“There’s an exit, one that Addy escaped through. It can’t have been rigged. Of course, there's every chance that it’s been patched up by now, but it’s worth a shot.” I point to the cross on the map Addison drew for Grace that's on the table between us.
“I’ll check it out, and Iwillget you in. Just give me some time.”
“I got no doubt.” Prez slaps his back before he stands up.
“Come on, let’s get ya a drink. You’ve had a long journey. You can leave tomorrow mornin’. The whores are rabid around here, I can guarantee you leavin’ for your mission with an empty sack.” Prez starts leading Tripp toward the door into the foyer.
“I get to kill him,” I call out before they can leave.
“That goes without sayin’” Prez slowly turns back around and slightly tilts his head at me.
“I want ‘em all. Anyone that might come for her. Those Elders or whatever they call themselves. All those sick fucks need to be dead.”
“We can’t go in there and cause a massacre, not with all those women and kids.” Jessie stubs out his smoke and turns his head to blow the last of it from his mouth.
“Addison’s sister is still there, she’s gonna want us to get her out too.” I point out, wondering how the hell we’re gonna pull this off without causing panic.
“We’ll do what we can, but you gotta remember, these people, they have their own minds. Some of them will have lived under the cult’s guidance for their whole lives. We can’t save people who don’t want savin’, Skid.” Prez smiles at me sadly.
“He’s right.” Jess shakes his head. “We’re gonna storm into that place and become exactly who these Elders have warned everyone about. It’s only gonna play into their hysteria.”
“Then we find another way. We take all the Elders' power by provin’ to those people that they are wrong,” I explain.
“And how d’ya suppose we do that?” Hayden laughs.
“I don’t know yet.” I glare at him with a real serious look on my face. “But I’ll figure it out. You just find a way to get us in.” I look at Tripp before I get up from my chair and march out the door.
I bump into Ella on my way out the clubhouse, she’s loading Dylan and Sophia into the car. No doubt they’ve just stuffed their little faces full of Marilyn's pancakes before they get dropped off with Jasmine so Ella can get to college.
“Ella, you got plans tonight?” An idea comes to mind.
“What do you think?” She raises her eyebrows and smiles at me.
“I was just wonderin’ if maybe Charlie could come over to yours for a few hours. He likes Dyl, and well… I was thinkin’ about maybe taking Addison out for a drink.” I slide my hands in my pockets, feeling a little awkward, especially when I see a tiny smile twitch on her lips.
“Of course, Dylan will love that.” Ella tries to contain her excitement with an eager nod.
“Cool, we’ll drop him to yours at about six.”
“Will you be taking the bike?” she asks in a voice that's practically bursting with enthusiasm.
“Yeah. I’ll be takin’ the bike.” I own my shit with a smile, ain’t nothing wrong with a man admitting he got some feelings.
I made myself a promise this morning, and if I’m gonna stick with it, this club is gonna have to get used to the changes I intend to make.
“See ya round six.” She gets behind the wheel with a satisfied smile on her face as she starts the engine
I’m smirking to myself as I head over to the garage ready to start work.
The sight of Rogue, ass up on the workbench, with Grimm standing between her legs, eating her face, is what I’m greeted with.
“Do you guys ever let up?” I shake my head and laugh as I pass them to hang up my cut and step into my overalls.
