“AAAH,” I said, pointing the gun at him again.
“I’m gettin’ my phone, you trigger-happy son of a bitch,” Tex spat.
“I’ll get it,” I said, and reached for his phone where he’d tossed it on the couch.
“Didn’t fuckin’ think to look at any of the other messages, huh, smart guy?” Tex sneered.
I went back to the main text screen and saw one from Lou.
50K to the man who brings me Jack Pollari. Dead or alive
I scrolled up to read more messages.
Word on the street is Jack is working with his ex Sloane and the Bastards to take down the Riders. Leave Sloane and the Bastards alone, I reached out to them and am trying to work shit out. But if you see Jack, take care of business
Jack just killed again. Wild Bill, Benjy, Chuck, Jergens and Irish. I’m gonna kill that motherfucker
Jack back with that traitor bitch Fiona – they’re murdering us for revenge for me kicking him out of the MC. Eyeball Vince and Cowboy dead
Tex shook his head. “You sell out the club for a piece of snatch, and when Lou kicks you out, you try to fuck us even more?”
I put the gun to his head.
“Call her a piece of snatch one more time,” I said coldly.
Tex swallowed hard as he looked up at the barrel pressed to his forehead.
“Jack… you don’t have to do this,” Indiana pleaded.
Lee looked at me accusingly. “You really have lost your mind over that chick.”
“That ‘chick’ was looking for the guy who killed her cousin,” I snapped. “Lou used her as an excuse to betray me. He planned that night at the Roadhouse for months – maybe years – and not a single one of you motherfuckers stood up for me.”
The words coming out of my mouth surprised even me.
“So it really is all about the Roadhouse, then,” Tex said scornfully.
I turned back to him. “…maybe it is. Why didn’t you say something that night, huh?”
When he just stared at me hatefully, I turned to the other three.
“Indiana?”
I looked at them one by one, pausing between each.
“Lee?… Fishbone?”
They all stared shame-faced at the floor. Except Tex.
“Ain’t it obvious?” he asked.
“No, it’s not.”
“You betrayed the club, jackass.”
“I didn’t betray the club. The club betrayed me. You betrayed me.”
Tex laughed, then winced and wheezed as he clutched his bleeding arm. “I didn’t hook up with no PI cooze. ‘Specially not one tryin’ to frame us for shooting a DEA snitch.”
