I groaned, “Now you did it. You just jinxed us.”

“Did you want me to lie? We’ve got nothing. No mail, no phone calls, nothing. It’s looking to be a quiet winter.”

A knock at the door had all of us turning as Sarah popped her head inside.

“Babydoll?” Gunner questioned, worriedly getting to his feet. “Are you okay?”

“Yeah.” The heavily pregnant woman blushed.

Damn, the poor girl looked miserable.

Her belly was bigger than she was.

“Sorry for interrupting, but there is a woman here to see you.”

“Me?” Gunner questioned, confused, looking around the room.

“No. All of you.”

King frowned, getting to his feet as we all followed and walked out of church. Entering the main room of the clubhouse, I spotted Devlyn Never, the secretary for the mayor. I’d tried hard to tap that fine ass, but the woman always laughed at me. Started giving me a complex.

Was I losing my touch?

Fuck that.

The ladies loved me.

That was F.A.C.T!

Even though Devlyn didn’t want my finely tuned, sculpted body, I could still admire how smoking hot she was from head to toe.

A true T.F.B.

Totally Fuckable Betty!

Only now, she looked like shit as she wiped her nose with a tissue.

Grimacing, I took a step back.

Didn’t care how scrumpdillyicious she was.

No way in hell was I catching her cooties!

“Devlyn?” King greeted as Devlyn held her hand up to stop him and the rest of us from approaching as she sneezed into her tissue, then blew her nose. “Sorry. I wouldn’t come any closer. Got the flu. I need your help, King.”

“What’s going on?”

“It’s my little sister Henley. She’s been temporarily filling in for me at the mayor’s office for the last week. She came over today, upset. The mayor cornered her in his office. Asshole doesn’t come near me, but Henley is different. She’s shy. He put hands on my sister, King.”

“Have her report the assault to Mike Brewer. He’s the new sheriff,” King advised, concerned.

“She did, but there’s something else,” Devlyn said, shaking her head. “Something’s been off with the mayor lately. Thought it was because he learned his bitch of a wife was having an affair, but it’s not. I can’t really explain it, King. I just know it’s something bad. He’s been having these secret meetings and calls. He’s a public figure. But he won’t let me make anything public. Now this shit with Henley. King, my gut’s telling me my sister is in danger and doesn’t know it. I know that your club sometimes helps others. I’m asking for help. Please help my sister.”

King sighed. “Devlyn, we go way back. You know me. Are you sure you want us involved? The local authorities are more than capable of handling this. If need be, Mike can call in the FBI.”

“I’m sure. I don’t know what that asshole is up to, but he’s dirty, King and while I’m positive that Mike would do his job, I don’t trust anyone to protect my sister like you guys can. A few of the people the mayor has been meeting with are scary and you know I don’t scare easily.”

“Alright, Devlyn,” King firmly said, turning to look at me. “Scribe, you’re up. You know what to do.”
