Hades took his place at the head of the table and sat, leaning forward to drop his elbows on the surface. “Start talkin’.”

Grave sat beside him on the right, looking us over as he crossed his arms.

“Those fucking Bladed Serpents were holding an auction,” Havoc began.

“And they were pinning some of the women down on top of tables, taking turns when we walked in,” I added with a growl.

Grave snarled but remained silent.

Hades narrowed his eyes. “And you busted it up, right?”

“Fuck yeah, we did,” Gunner confirmed, clenching his fist. “But Angel Mackenzie got away.”

Angel. That fucker was a walking dead man.

Hades pulled out his phone and dialed a number. I wasn’t surprised to hear Grim’s voice, the president of the Royal Bastards in Tonopah, NV, answer the line.

“Hades,” he greeted in that gravelly tone I’d heard before.

“Need to discuss the shit that went down. You got time?”

“Sure. I’m in my office. Got to let you know that my SAA and VP are with me.”

“No problem. Grave, Gunner, Havoc, and Slash are all in the room.”

“Understood. This about the auction and Angel?”

“Yeah, brother. Can you fill us in?”

“Angel’s the nephew of Salazar Guererro, family to the cartel. We occasionally provide extra muscle for their shipments.”

I didn’t think doing business with criminals like Salazar was wise, but it wasn’t my call. Not that we were saints. We had our shit we did to earn, and it wasn’t all legal.

“So he’s protected?” I asked, needing to know how much shit I would kick up when I went after him.

“Yes and no. Salazar promised he’d keep him in line. That’s obviously not happened because he’s hiding shit from his uncle, or Salazar is deceiving us. Angel kidnapped underage girls and brought them to auction. From what Xenon dug up, he’s been selling them to a trafficking ring in Vegas. We won’t stand for that shit.”

Good.

“But we also can’t make a move without taking this to Salazar.”

“Fuck,” Hades growled.

“I haven’t spoken to him yet, but he’ll know where we all stand when I do. Salazar will have to give Angel up.”

That sounded highly unlikely.

“There’s more,” Grim announced as everyone at the table tensed. “Maddog and his new ol’ lady are lookin’ for payback too. Angel beat Lark and assaulted her.”

Lark. Molly’s stepsister? Fuck!

Gunner exchanged a glance with Havoc before they both turned to me. Furious, they both looked ready to fuck Angel up. I wanted to be the first to get my hands on him.

“Fred got in deep with the cartel. Gambling. Whores. Drugs. Salazar fronted Fred with the cash. Xenon confirmed that Fred sold Molly to Angel to clear his debts. We’ve learned that Angel planned to sell Molly to Luis Diego. We believe he already did so when you arrived. You interrupted that sale.”

“Son of a bitch!” I roared, slamming a fist on the table.

Hades sent me a look for my outburst. I didn’t care.
