“I know.” He winks at Jack with a smirk in place.
“Cocky bastard.” Jack scoffs but I see the humor on his face.
Maybe one day Jack will take our advice and make that step with Lilith. I have overheard the women in the club comment on how much Lilith likes Jack, has for years. Something always got in the way of her making her move, but then Dom came along, and Lilith knew that Jack needed to concentrate on his son. Over time Lilith thought she had lost her chance with him, so she stayed away.
“Ask my Ol’ Lady why I can get away with being cocky.” We all laugh at Finan’s remark.
We shoot the shit for a little time, chilling while we can because you never know when a job might come in, or someone within the club needs something done. Growing up in the club, it was like we were one big family with all of us born so close together.
It seemed as if our parents carefully planned each pregnancy, ensuring that we had a sibling close in age to grow up alongside.
My phone rings from the table beside the cage, so I job over to collect it. I frown seeing ‘private number’ appear.
“Yeah.”
“Got a lead for you, man.” I hear Gonk’s voice.
He is a PI who works in a different field than us, but we help each other out from time to time.
“Send me the info.” I hang up knowing that he is a man of very few words but is awesome at his job and I know he will get me the shit I need.
“Got a lead; shower up and meet me in my room,” I call to Jack.
He nods and runs behind me as I get inside and shout instructions to the guys. With my phone in hand as I walk to my room, I pull up the chat between Darcy, Cal, and myself.
Me: Got a job. Be in touch.
I pocket my phone not waiting for a reply, because I need to get this shit finished so these people can get their money back, hopefully.
CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
DARCY
It has been two days since Maverick left for a job and he has been silent, but Cal told me that this can happen because they are busy hunting some scumbags.
My stomach hurts thinking that he could be hurt, or one of the guys. Their job is dangerous, so that is a constant worry for me, but I know that they help people who can’t get help from the police.
I know that it bothers Cal to some degree; he has made it known that he is trying to get the club to let him in a little bit more now that he is with Maverick, but so far he is not getting anywhere fast with them.
If you understand the way of a motorcycle club, then you know that they keep things in-house. A friend I had in college was dating a biker and she told me details of how an MC works, I get the need for the members to keep club business close. That friend is now married to her biker, and they have a little boy.
“Hey, the front is done. I restocked the cups, spoons, and napkins,” Kady’s voice floats into the kitchen where I am wiping down the counter.
“You are a star, thanks for staying behind to help me clean and close up for the night.”
“Pfft” —she waves me off— “I am happy to help, it is not your fault. That girl could not stay and help while she was in so much pain. I would love for men to experience one month of a painful period.”
“Now, that I would pay to see.” We laugh.
Collecting the dirty dish-cloths and hand towels, I take them to the washing machine that I had installed when I opened Darcy’s Delights. It saves time and money over using a laundromat.
“Do you want a treat before we go?” I ask her.
“Hell, I am not going to turn down a free treat,” Kady replies.
I step around the counter and make up a quick ice cream supreme tub. It has one scoop of three different flavors, plus some shards of candy, and sprinkles of chocolate, with any syrup the customer wants.
Setting the delight on the table in front of Kady, she smiles at me.
