“You’re going to like a lot more than that.” I lifted her onto the bed and covered her face with hungry kisses. I’d never be okay with the circumstances that brought Ginger into my life, but I’d spend the rest of our lives showing her how much I loved her.
We might have had a rough start, but there would be nothing but happiness and love in our future. I’d make damn sure of that.
EPILOGUE
BEAR
I just got backto the clubhouse after spending the morning checking on some abandoned cabins, looking for any sign of the Savage Bones. After their failed attempt at taking Ginger, it seems like they have gone deep into hiding. I don’t like it one bit, either. The longer it takes to find them, the longer they have to regroup and plan whatever they are trying to do to Mustang Mountain.
“Any luck?” Atlas, the MC president, asks.
“No. None of the cabins look like anyone has been there since they were abandoned,” I say.
We have been trying to catch even a slight hint of what happened to the Savage Bones after Six saved Ginger, and I hate coming back here without any news.
“Something will come up. Don’t beat yourself up about it,” Atlas says just before his phone rings.
I turn to leave, but he puts his hand on my arm.
“It’s Sheriff Cade,” he says, answering on speaker phone.
“Hey, Sheriff,” he says.
“Hey, Atlas. Listen, I got some news on Savage Bones you might want,” he says.
Atlas's eyes crinkle with humor as he looks at me, a slight smirk playing on his lips.
“I’ve got Bear here too. Let us hear it,” he says.
“There have been a few complaints of loud music and fighting at a motel just over the county line. A buddy of mine at the Sheriff’s office there says it’s a few of the Savage Bones guys. He doesn’t know which ones, but I thought it might be worth you guys checking out. My hands are tied since it’s not my jurisdiction,” Cade says.
“I figure. Alright, we’ll go stake it out and see what we find,” I say.
“Let me know, and for the love of god, if you get caught or get in trouble, you didn’t get this information from me.” He almost growls.
“No idea what you’re talking about. We get anonymous tips all the time.” Atlas chuckles, and we get off the phone before he turns toward me. “Take Ace, Priest, and Stone with you since we have no idea what we’re walking into. You stay in touch with me at all times. Any little thing. You got it?”
“Got it,” I say, heading down the hall to grab Stone. Being the Sergeant at Arms, Stone has been doing inventory on our weapons and securing some new items, like the club is heading into World War III on our own.
Thankfully, Priest and Ace are with him, so I don’t have to waste time hunting them down.
“We got a tip on the Savage Bones from the Sheriff. We are heading on a stakeout, the four of us. Let’s go,” I say and turn to leave.
“Wait. Why doesn’t the Sheriff just go after them after everything they did last month?” Stone asks.
“They are at a motel just across the county line. His hands are tied,” I tell them.
“Meet you at your truck in five. I’m going to pack us a bag,” Stone says. His eyes sparkle as he stares at the guns and ammunition in front of him. I’m pretty sure he has a few new “toys” he’d love to play with if given the chance.
The address Sheriff Cade gave us is a seedy, run-down motel on the main road between Mustang Mountain and Whitefish. It’s the kind of place where you’re more likely to find guys cheating on their wives and doing drug deals, which makes it perfect for the Savage Bones.
The pool is empty and dirty, and broken tiles surround it. The parking lot has cracks all over the asphalt, and the curtains in the windows look like they have been there since the 70s. The whole place could use a paint job. The peeling paint alone would make you think this place was abandoned if it weren’t for the vacancy sign lit up and the cars in the parking lot.
“Why are they making such a public location their new headquarters?” Stone asks.
“From the reports, it’s not the whole club. It’s just a few of the guys, but maybe they can lead us to the others,” I say.
We sit around for an hour as Stone tells us about some of the new items he got in, and Priest is texting someone on and off.
