Until this morning.
And now I was fuckin’ confused because she seemed genuinely surprised by my tiny nugget of information about Sonja. I’d given her that much hoping she’d relay it all to the cunt, but Wyatt didn’t seem to understand anything that was going on. Also, I hadn’t put a ‘man’ on her, outside of Aero, so I had no idea who the fuck was in that club watching her.
Jesus, I might have played this all wrong.
And if I did, then I was royally fucked.
I’d only come back when I realized my coffee order was wrong, but now the coffee was forgotten as I pulled my phone out and called Wrath.
We’d had two separate vans hit in the last two weeks. They’d been loaded with product we were being forced to move due to our warehouse being damaged by the fire, and now I was not only convinced of Sonja’s involvement, but that she likely had help from an inside source. The times and routes of these deliveries were only known by a handful of people, I’d personally made sure of that.
As soon as the second van was hit, I knew this wasn’t an isolated incident.
We had a mole.
“Hey, brother,” Wrath said.
“Hey,” I said. “Need you to do somethin’ for me.”
“Now?”
“You buried in pussy?”
“Well, no,” he hedged.
“Then, yeah, now.”
“Okay. What do you need?”
“Need you to find Ruby and have a conversation with her.”
“Jesus Christ, why?”
“Because I’m your president and I’m telling you to,” I snapped.
He sighed. “Okay, man, I hear you. Tell me what you need.”
I gave him a rundown, then hung up and climbed on my bike. My ride back to the cabin was done without my usual feeling of freedom. Instead, a lead weight had settled over my heart dragging me down, and I realized it was an anchor of my own making.

I had just grabbed a beer from the fridge when Wrath came looking for me.
“You get anything from Ruby?” I asked.
“No,” he said, leaning against the counter. “Which was interesting.”
“How so?”
“She was freaked. I’d never seen anyone that scared before. I took Snowcone with me as a buffer and even he didn’t keep her from pissing herself.”
Snowcone was a little older than Orion and had patched in about five years ago. He was a good kid, funny as hell, and super chill, which is how he’d earned his name. People liked him.Iliked him, but most especially, women liked him, so if he couldn’t soothe Ruby, the situation with Sonja was worse than I thought.
I frowned. “No shit?”
“No shit.”
“Did she give you anything?”
