“You laugh, assholes,” D.O. said. “You laugh. This isn’t just put a bullet in the back of Haney’s head.”

“Why not?” Hawk asked.

“It goes higher up. You take out Haney and you have bigger issues.”

“Why?” Hawk asked.

Reese looked at Levi. Levi slowly nodded.

Reese looked away for a second. “Fuck.”

“Fuck what?” Hawk asked.

“The supplier,” Levi said. “We’ll have to face that music.”

“We can’t let that happen,” Reese said. “You don’t push that shit through this town. Not right under our noses.”

“Then it’s your problem,” Hawk said to D.O.. “Man-up and fix it.”

“How?” D.O. asked. “If I let my guys see the chance for something bigger, we’re screwed. I have to play dumb and be logical. Why do you think I’m in a fucking biker bar right now?”

“Christ,” Reese said. “So, this asshole is pulling something bigger into this town.”

“And your fake titted beauty fell into the trap,” D.O. said.

Nobody said a word.

Reese faced the bar and rubbed his jaw. He thought about Josie. The direction where this could end up going was like nothing he’d seen since Lasz and Josie’s father were killed.

“I’ll leave you to it,” D.O. said. “All I can do is offer help. I’ll keep my guys busy. I can tell you where Haney is.”

“And you’re not going to face him down?” Hawk asked. “Look into the eyes of the bastard that stabbed you in the back?”

“Never said that,” D.O. said.

“You’ll do it when we’re about to pull the trigger,” Reese said. “You fucking pussy. Get out of here.”

“I could have kept this quiet,” D.O. said. “Gone a different route. Watch your club squirm and turn into ash like the other charters. But I-”

Reese turned and punched D.O. in the nose. He flew back into Levi’s arms. Hawk jumped forward to stop Reese from doing anything else.

“I’ll kill him!” D.O. yelled.

“No, you won’t,” Levi said. “Let me walk you out. Make sure File didn’t get his ass shot by one of my guys.”

Reese watched Levi drag D.O. to the door. He stood with his teeth gritted tightly. His mind played an image of him and Josie together. Of Steph having a baby. The wildness of the MC and how much it was going to mess all of them up.

“It’s going to be okay, brother,” Hawk said.

Reese set his sights on Hawk. “I’m sorry about before.”

“About what?”

“You have short term memory or what?”

“I worry about right now.”

“Well, brother, what happened… I was wrong going after you like that.”
