I tidy the clothing I had dumped on the bed and wait for Pattie to arrive. It doesn’t take long before a light tap on the door gets my attention.
“Come in,” I shout, but follow that when I see it’s Pattie with, “leave the door open.” No way am I having anyone say I was in my room with Pattie and the door was closed.
I see Winger walking past, and call out. “Winger, hang on a minute.” Winger steps to my door and leans against the door frame. “I want a witness that nothing happened in my room between me and Pattie. I’m gonna claim Molly, and I want no misunderstandings.”
“Sensible, Breaker.” Winger looks at Pattie who is also nodding and giving a soft smile at me.
“You should be careful, Breaker. Some of the club girls will try to cause any trouble they can until Molly is wearing the property patch, and has put them one more time in their place.” Pattie stands on one side of the bed while I’m on the other side.
“Look at my bathroom, Pattie. I had to clean it after Mella last time. I’m not sure who was cleaning this time, but I’m not cleaning up after they are supposed to have done it.”
Pattie looks around the bathroom and then steps into the bedroom with a pissed-off look on her face. “Julia was cleaning in here. Leave it with me, Breaker, I’ll sort her out.”
“Have you seen my hoodie anywhere by any chance?” I ask.
“You mean the black one with the motif on the front?” Pattie frowns.
“Yeah, that’s the one.”
“I think I’ve seen that somewhere. Leave it with me and I’ll keep my eyes open for it.” Tapping her chin in thought, before shaking her head and walking out of the room leaving Winger watching her ass as she goes down the corridor.
“She’s a good woman, Breaker. It’s a shame she isn’t out of here by now.” Winger shakes his head. “Not my business. You okay now?”
“Yeah, thanks, Winger. You know what it’s like around here for gossip, and the wrong kind of gossip too.”
Chuckling, Winger nods. “Oh, yeah. But you are covered. Get your woman locked down, Breaker, because more than one of the brothers has their eye on her.”
In the rec room, I notice Bear is back sitting with a hangdog look. “You still worrying, Bear?”
“No, I’m wondering if I should do some hunting…”
“Hunting?” I take a seat at the table with him. “What do you mean, hunting?”
“I was thinking of giving Angel some money to help her set herself up with an apartment. Opened my banking app and half my fuckin’ savings have been taken. The only person who could have done that was…”
“Angel…!” I snarl. “Come on, Bear. We’re gonna track that bitch using Bull’s program because we all know he would have tagged her somehow with being your niece.”
After thirty minutes of waiting for Bull to track Angel as she’s moving around at this point in time, I turn when I hear my name. Pattie is standing outside Bull’s door holding my hoodie.
“Where did you find it?”
“It was in Floss’s room. I knew I’d seen it, but it took me a few to remember. She has been wearing it in her room. I’m taking it to the laundry, if that’s okay. I’ll make sure it gets back to your room. I told her she can expect you to speak to her.” Pattie waits for my response.
“Okay, thanks, Pattie. Yeah, I don’t want to wear it if she’s been strutting around in it. In fact, trash it. I’ll buy a new one.” Shuddering because I don’t want to wear it even after it has gone through the laundry. You never know what she’s done in it. “I’ll speak with Whack and see what he suggests because I’ve about had enough of that bitch.”
“I’ll dispose of it, Breaker. Would you mind if I took it to the charity shop?”
“That’s fine, Pattie. I don’t mind as long as that bitch doesn’t get her hands on it again.”
Before we can say more Bear walks past me with determination in his step. Bull watches after him, then looks at me. “Make sure a brother goes with him, Breaker. Angel is in Cobra’s territory.”
“Oh, fuck.” I rush past Pattie and after Bear. I’m not in time to see him tearing out of the compound, but thankfully he had Sprinter and Vortex behind him.
Walking back into the clubhouse I feel a vibration from my phone. Checking it’s a message from Smoker.
Smoker: Hog sold, money with you today.
Breaker: Great, thanks, brother.
