“I killed the guy that knocked up Lasz’s sister,” Hawk said. “I get it.”

“You didn’t know who he was.”

“Nobody did, brother,” Hawk said.

“It would have been a fucking disaster if he was alive.”

“Yeah. Right.”

“Now we have to end this for good,” Reese said.

“That’s going to be a problem,” Hawk said.

“A big fucking problem,” Reese said. “First things first. Thank you for saving my ass out there. I’m sorry I took that out on you, bro. There’s a lot going on.”

“You have a lot going on, brother,” Hawk said. He patted Reese’s shoulder. “I hope it’s all worth it, VP.”

Hawk walked away, leaving Reese alone.

When Levi opened the door, he gave a wave and Reese put up a finger. He ordered two beers from a prospect and went outside to meet up with Levi.

They stood together at a picnic table under a pale, foggy light that was more yellow than white.

Levi sipped his beer and stared straight ahead. “I think we’re going to take this one hard, VP.”

“Looks that way.”

“Are we on the same page?”

“That Haney gets taken out and we figure out the aftermath?”

“Yeah,” Levi said.

“Same page, Prez.”

“Fuck,” Levi said. He put a foot on the picnic table and leaned forward. “I like it better when you argue with me.”

“What choice do we have?” Reese asked. “D.O. didn’t come here to help us… he threw us under the bus.”

“His ass is under the bus,” Levi said. “He just sold out his entire crew. One whiff of that and they’ll take him out.”

“That hurts us though,” Reese said. “That’s a good source of revenue for the club.”

“Maybe it’s time to look more legit. Like you said before.”

Reese raised an eyebrow. “Goddamn, Prez. You’re turning the outlaw corner.”

“Hardly,” Levi said with a laugh. “We can let some of this bullshit sort itself out. Maybe therunnerscan get someone with half a brain in there and the relationship with the MC can get stronger.”

“In the meantime… what? We deal with the supplier? I mean, that could be big… remember the last time…”

“I know,” Levi said. He looked down. “We sent Laszlo into the fire. Because of bad information.”

“Well, this time, it’s pretty simple,” Reese said. “That we agree upon. Can’t show weakness now.”

Levi looked at Reese and smiled. “You’re sounding like me. I’m sounding like you. What the fuck is happening here, VP?”

“I don’t fucking know. I don’t like it.”
