I chime in.“The only thing I can think of is they wanted the money.”
“And they crossed in our territory,” Rowan adds.
Griffin takes the conversation in since he hasn’t even been out of prison long.“Are we gonna go after these fuckers or what?It’s the second time now that they made a move on us.”His hand rests on my thigh.
Cutter rubs his hands together and then scrubs them over his face.“Well, I think Astera took care of them.So I think that will be embarrassing enough.They get to go back to their club with their tail tucked between their legs.”
The men laugh.
“Well, we still need to be vigilant when anyone goes out.Maybe everyone always has someone with them,” Rowan suggests.
Locks agrees.“That’s a good idea.We’ll have to talk with everyone else about it.And Astera or Rowan, one of you guys need to tell Claire as well.I know she comes and goes.”
I nod in response.
After breakfast, I stand to clear the dishes and help Becca clean up.Once that is done, I find Griffin.“Can you give me a lift to the tattoo shop?”
“Sure.Oh.I meant to say something earlier, I heard it was you that rode my bike and kept it running while I was gone.”
I smile and shrug my shoulders.“Someone had to.”
“Impressive.”
“You gonna take me or what?”
“Yeah, come on.”
The shop is literally within walking distance, but with everyone tense, I figure it’s best for Griffin to drop me off.
“Just call me when you want to get picked up, okay?”
“Okay.”I lean in and kiss him on the lips before heading inside.“See you later.”
Inside the shop, I announce my presence.Standing behind the counter, I look over the schedule for the artists and then text Claire.
Come to the club straight after work.
Everything okay?
Yes and no.Just meet me there after work.And don’t make any stops beforehand.
Okay, see you then.
ChapterTwelve
ASTERA
“I think you should stay here just to be on the safe side.”
“Is it that serious?”Claire asks after I tell her the situation when she arrives at the club.
“As I said, we just want to be safe.Rowan might even fight you on it, but you should stay here under the club’s protection.”
“Well, I’m glad you were able to diffuse the situation when they confronted you.I don’t think Griffin has anything to worry about me kicking his ass.He better worry about you kicking his ass if he ever does something wrong.”
We share a laugh.
“I wish I could have seen you do that,” she adds.
