“We all go off the radar; Brandt focuses on Leo because he can’t get all of us at once anymore, and we can get the jump on him.” Apollo nodded. “It will work.”
“As much as I hate putting you guys into more danger, this is what we need to do,” Leo grunted.
“We all signed up for this,” I called.
“Hero is locking down the clubhouse and getting calls out to everyone to get to the clubhouse.” Rigid tucked his phone in his pocket. “We should get back, too.”
King nodded. “We batten down the hatches at the clubhouse, and the rest is up to you, Leo.”
“Princeton, Apollo, and Murphy, scatter. Creed comes to me, and we take care of Brandt one last time,” Leo ordered.
“Creed can ride back with us,” King offered.
“Ethel and I will head back to the clubhouse, too. She’s been bugging me to get back to town for a while. Seems like now is as good a time as any.” Gravel nodded to me. “You and Tatum can borrow the car on the side if the garage if you want.”
I nodded and folded my arms over my chest. “Thanks.” For all the times I had complained about the Devil’s Knights, they were now stepping up to the plate when we really needed them.
Easy raised his hand. “If you go into hiding, how will Brandt find you? Don’t we want him to find you so that you can take him out?”
“Oh, trust me. Brandt will find me when I’m ready for him to, Easy. Be here in four hours, or I’m leaving without you, Creed. Apollo and Murphy, get the hell out of dodge. I don’t want you guys to be in the same state as me.” Leo ended the call.
Gravel headed to the backyard. “I better get that fire put out. You guys can handle wrangling your women.”
The Knights followed behind Gravel.
“You think this is the best idea?” Apollo asked.
Creed shrugged. “I think we can all agree that Brandt needs to be taken out once and for all.”
“And this is the way we do it,” I grunted. “We know what he’s trying to do, and we’re not going to give it to him. Creed goes with Leo, and we spread out.” I held up my hand. “But we’re close enough to pounce when Brandt shows his face.”
“You know Leo wants you guys to get as far away as possible. You gotta follow wherever the hell he sent Greer,” Creed pointed out to Apollo.
Apollo glanced at his phone. “Greer and the kids are headed to the safe house in Michigan.” He threw his hands in the air. “Fuck, man. How the hell am I supposed to be at the ready when I’m hours away?”
“Just head there for now. At least until I figure out where Leo wants us to go,” Creed pointed out.
“Leo isn’t going to go for us moving closer to him.” Apollo ran his fingers through his hair. “Fucking Brandt,” he growled.
“Leo doesn’t have to know. At least not until he needs to.” Creed held up his hands. “We all know Leo blames himself for this shit, and he’s doing what he can to get us out of the crosshairs. So we can do what we can to make sure he gets out of the crosshairs, too.”
“He’s gonna be pissed when he finds out we’re doing shit behind his back,” I pointed out.
“Yeah, well, at least we’ll all be alive, then. I’m heading back with the Knights. You go to Greer, and you take Tatum somewhere.”
I looked around the garage. “What if I just stay here with Tatum? There’s no way that Brandt knows about this place. And even if he manages to connect the dots and trace me here, that will take a long time.”
Apollo shrugged. “Not a bad idea. If Greer weren’t already halfway to Michigan, I would steal this place out from under you.”
Creed agreed. “Good. Though you know you are going to have to ask the old man if you can stay here.”
It wasn’t that we were afraid of Gravel; it was just that we all knew to respect our elders.
A smirk spread across my lips. “I’ll get Tatum to ask him. The old man took a shine to her. He won’t say no to her.”
