That wasn’t hard to remember. “You got it, beautiful.”
Gail shut the door after she entered the bathroom, and I heard the lock click into place. It didn’t offend me. She didn’t know who the fuck I was, and she was scared. A lot happened today for her to absorb and come to terms with. We’d have to talk over dinner.
I found a place that delivered lunch items any time of the day or night, and I placed an order first, then dialed Crow’s number.
“Talon.” He sounded anxious.
“Nick Grime broke into Gail’s place and trashed it. I’m not sure if he worked alone.”
“Fuck!”
“She’s okay. I’ve got her, pres.”
“Goddammit. Is she alright?”
“Physically, yeah, but she’s confused and scared. I had to tell her who I was and why I was there before she would let me help her.”
Crow grunted. “Yeah. That makes sense.”
“I told her she had a brother, and he’s the club president. That’s why I was sent to protect her. She’s gonna have questions.”
“Sure, she is,” he agreed. “She isn’t dumb. Abigail is a Holmes. That blood runs in her veins. She’s probably gonna get pissed when the shock wears off.”
“Yeah, pres, and that’s not all. I had to take out Nick. He aimed his gun at her, and I fired before he had a chance. She’s shaken up.”
Crow cursed, and I held the phone away from my ear until he calmed down. “Fucking motherfuckers. I’m sending a cleanup crew.”
“He trashed her place, but I didn’t see Luke. He’s in the wind, but I don’t know how long. I don’t think we’ve got a tail, but I’ll keep watch. Anything looks suspicious, and I’m going dark.”
“After you check in with me,” he ordered.
“Of course, pres.”
“You remember the safe house locations?”
“Yep.”
“Where are you now?”
“That motel outside Lux. We’ll lay low and rest until dark, then head toward Tonopah.”
“I’ll give Grim a call and let him know we might need his help.”
“She looks like you,” I replied, giving him that detail even though he didn’t ask. “Same gray eyes and dark hair. She’s a Holmes.”
Crow cleared his throat. I sensed his struggle and the emotion entangled with it. “Check in with me before you head out.”
“Will do, pres.”
“One more thing.”
“Yeah?”
“Keep your cock in your fucking pants. Touch my sister, and I’ll rip off your fucking dick,” Crow threatened.
Damn. “I hear you, pres.”
We ended the call a few seconds before someone knocked on our door. I moved the curtains aside, peeking out as I palmed my gun. The delivery guy shuffled his feet, holding onto our bags of food and drinks. To be safe, I shrugged out of my cut and draped it over one of the chairs.
