“If I were, I’d abort it in a heartbeat, and Ronnie knows it,” she scoffs. “Now, get in the front seat with your dead friend there. We’ll make this quick, and I’ll be on my way.”

“You think I’m that stupid?” There’s no way I’m going to do anything this bitch says. Behind her on the driver’s side, I note the slightest movement from Angel and know he’s not dead as Giselle seems to think he is. “Got to say you might be the dumbest bitch I know to pull something like this off right outside a hospital. You realize they’ve got cameras, right?”

“I know what I’m doing,” Giselle snaps, sneering at me. “Now, do as I told you.”

“First, answer me this. You’re planning on killing me, so who was behind the bombing with you?” I want to know who I need to kill when this bullshit is over with.

“That would be Cordell and his contact within the Scarlet Needles. He went to your cousins first, but they didn’t want any part in this. Evidently, they’ve grown tired of the feud after your mother’s death and are wiping their hands of the lot of you.Cordell thought it would be easy enough to frame them when we went after Bristol.”

“You want her for what purpose?”

“It’s obvious, isn’t it?” Giselle smirks. “Her money. The investments. Everything that was left to her and should have been mine.”Yeah, this bitch has lost it. “Enough of this. Now, get in the SUV so I can get this done and out of here.”

“I think I’m good here,” I state and move quickly as Angel points his gun and shoots Giselle from behind. It’s not what either of us would have wanted but we know the truth now. There’s nothing else we could have found out from the bitch. She gave us all she had, and I’d bet money on it.

Moving quickly to the driver’s side door, I throw the door open to assess Angel’s wounds.

“Fuckin’ bitch tried to kill me,” he rasps.

“Good thing we’re right outside the hospital,” I quip. “Stella is going to be pissed you’ve gotten yourself stabbed.”

“Don’t I fuckin’ know it,” Angel grunts while I help him get out. As sirens ring out, police cars pull in along with two other SUVs, with my brothers coming up behind. It sucks all of our bikes are gone, but they can be replaced.

“Come on, VP, let’s get you inside and patched up.” Helping him toward the doors, we’re again met by nurses who take him back. Security steps in front of me and ushers me back out.

I know I’m going to have to deal with the cops and fill in my brothers on what the fuck just happened here.

Reaper and Officer Bryant meet me right outside the doors.

“Angel okay?” Reaper demands.

“He will be,” I answer and nod toward Giselle’s body on the ground. “She fooled us all.” Quickly, I explain everything she said to both men and let out a heavy breath.

“I’ve already got officers picking them all up. Scythe has footage of them and two other men who were a part of theexplosion at the clubhouse. We’ll go over the video footage from here, and it’ll all be handled,” Bryant explains.

“It can’t be that easy for this to be done,” I remark, shaking my head.

“Normally, it wouldn’t be, but before you all were attacked, Bristol’s father and brother were also hit. They’re okay but knew who was behind it when it happened. We were already on to them when you were hit. We were just too late to be of help, and I apologize for that.” You could hear the sincerity in the other man’s voice.

“It’s done now. Can we go in and find out about my brother and his woman?” Reaper demands, his voice thick with rage.

“Yeah, if we need anything else, I know where to find you,” Bryant says. He steps away, turns, and heads toward a few other officers.

“Come on, you can tell me what you didn’t tell us when we get to the others. We left the prospects at my house with all the women.”

I nod in response to Reaper’s order. “First, can we find out how Bristol’s doing, then I’ll tell you all.” I nearly lost her, and I know when she finds out what happened here and who was behind the bombing of the clubhouse, it’s going to destroy her.

“Yeah, I want to know myself how she’s doing.” Reaper grunts, clasps a hand on my shoulder, and meets my gaze with his hard ones. “This is over for her, and she doesn’t need to know the details of everything.”

“Can’t keep this from her, Prez.” I shake my head. “She’s going to question why Angel killed her sister. She thought they were finally going to have a relationship. It’s going to devastate her to find out what really happened and why.”

“You’re right it will.” Reaper nods, rolls his shoulders, and lets go of my shoulder before heading in the direction of our brothers.

Together, we all head into the waiting room to find out about my woman and our VP.

Six hours later and with a few more questions from the police, Stella finally emerges from behind the doors to the back.

“How’s Bristol?” I ask, not waiting around.
