“You see what I see?” Jenna asked, her voice suffused in awe.
“Surely do,” I answered.
“What do you guys see?” Lizzie asked, turning back to the front of the room.
“That man looks at you like you’re the sunshine after he’s spent centuries in darkness,” I whispered, reaching for Lizzie’s hand.
Lizzie squeezed, “He makes me feel safe.”
And then Jenna sniffed. The whole table turned her way, but she waved a hand, “Pregnancy hormones. Just ignore me.”
Then the light flicked, and everyone looked to the front of the room where Stash and Rooster stood at the big screen TV.
Gate joined them and spoke, “Stash and Rooster found some shit that couldn’t wait. Listen first. Then we plan.”
He moved to stand beside Talon and left Stash and Rooster to it.
Stash started by scrolling through photos on his MacBook that mirrored on the big screen. “We’re gonna start with a recap for the sake of the newbies.”
“Newbies?” Lizzie asked beside me.
“New people who don’t know all the background,” I whispered.
“Ah,” she said and then was quiet.
“This is Blaine Freemont,” Stash said.
“Drug king extraordinaire,” Rooster tacked on.
Stash kept it moving, “This is Dr. Edward Albright, Freemont’s head of R & D.”
Jenna groaned and covered her face with her hand.
“Edward’s also moonlighting as medical support for Freemont’s son,” Rooster said.
“He ever wake up?” Ryder asked from his place at the bar.
“Not that we can tell,” Rooster answered.
“Good,” Ryder muttered.
There were scattered agreements throughout the room.
“Anyway,” Stash went on, “the club’s first priority is to protect the women who work for us.”
“Damn right,” Talon said.
“And our second is to end Freemont’s influence in our city,” Rooster added.
Stash gestured my way, “And now those two things overlap. We’ve got Anna and her team working on the same objectives we are.”
Stash flipped through surveillance photos of the drug testing facility and then ended with two photos side by side.
Freemont’s son and Lizzie.
Maker growled.
Rooster cleared his throat, “Freemont has had eyes on Lizzie for a while, but last night an attempt was made to extricate her from Maker’s home.”
