“That Boyd?” Finn reads the message over my shoulder. “He’s about to hit national spotlight.”
“He’s not a spotlight type of man. Too much attention means he has to behave.”
“One reason we work on our own.” Finn jerks his chin to Robbie. “We good with ATF?”
“Our man on the inside is ready. This is our third bust and seizure. The other agencies are failing at every turn. They’re pissed and pointing fingers.”
Robbie looks at everyone. “The informants and leads are panning out.”
“Nashville is getting stale,” Ace states what we all discussed.
“Agreed.” Finn jerks his chin. “What are you thinking?”
“We need to get back out there.”
“Who’s we?”
Ace points to me. “Ford and I are on the road. Major and Talon stay back and work what we find.”
Talon grunts, unhappy with being sidelined.
“Major’s a given, but how’d you get shafted?” Robbie questions.
“Because Ace and Ford cheat like motherfuckers.”
“Bullshit, you’re a sore loser,” Ace counters.
“There was no way I lost that hand.”
I grab a tissue and hand it over. “You have a tear in your eye.”
He swats it away, his frown curling up. “Just remember who will be in the house with your woman on all those lonely nights.”
There’s a collective chuckle. “Find your own woman.”
“I like the one you have.”
“Before you go to blows, I think Talon needs to join in. There’s a group outside of Memphis I want you guys to meet. One of them is a retired Marine who is part of a motorcycle club. He and his guys roam the roads frequently. Something piqued his curiosity, and he reached out to Dad. This shouldn’t take more than a few days.”
Talon’s face lights up. “This means we get to ride?”
“Yeah.”
“Hell yeah.” Talon slaps his hands together. “Looks like the boys are back in action. I mean, without Daddy-O over here.”
“I’m in,” Major surprises us all, and before we can question, he explains, “Margo is dying to get back here. I’ll arrange for her to be with Jewls.”
“You sure?” Robbie quirks an eyebrow.
“It’s a few days and I won’t be far. Plus, it gets me out of furniture shopping.”
We all nod in understanding. Jewls is determined to fill every room in their house.
“Head out on Monday. I’ll plan and send the information. Thanks for coming in on a Saturday night. Sorry if I messed up your plans with your mom.”
“Mom wasn’t fazed. She’s with Amanda and Sandy,” I reply, grateful Harley and Ace’s moms were around when I had to cancel.
“After your trip, we’ll regroup. Dad’s connection may be a bust, but it’s worth a shot. We have to stay diligent. The leak is still out there. You guys concentrate and work the lead in Memphis. We’ll take care of things here.”
