“Get him inside, Jesse. Make sure everywhere is locked up and call me when you’ve done it.” I hang up and call Speedway. “Have you seen anything?”
“No Prez, all quiet, what’s up?”
I explain about the break-in and he curses. “I’m sending someone else to sit with you.”
“That means telling them about Oscar.”
Fucking hell. It doesn’t matter, my son’s safety is more important. I tell him to make sure nothing happens and hang up when Jesse calls me back.
“What’s going on Noah?”
“Nothing to worry about. I want to be sure Oscar is okay.”
“That’s some bullshit but I know you won’t tell me the truth. We’ll stay inside but he isn’t happy.”
“Do what you can to make him happy. Just don’t fucking tell him I’ll get him a puppy.”
“You’d deserve it if I did.” He hangs up.
Jesus Christ. I pinch the bridge of my nose. Rebel comes back and tells me nothing else has happened anywhere else. What the fuck was this about?
“How much longer before we pull Chains in?” Rebel asks.
I know why he is asking but I still think we can get more from him not knowing we suspect him. “Get Ellie to work him over.”
“Might work,” he says.
“She can suck the truth out of any cock,” I say, making Rebel grunt out a laugh. It’s not funny, and he stops laughing after a moment and heads off.
Ellie has been working at one of our strip joints since I became Prez. She’s smart and beautiful and has got information out of many men for me in the past. She does it in a way that they don’t even realize what they’re giving up at the time.
I’ve fucked her a few times, the woman knows how to work a man’s body and gives head like no one I’ve ever met before. But that is all in the past as far as I’m concerned, especially when I realized what she could do for me. It could make me an asshole for asking her to use her body like that but Ellie gets off on it. She loves deceiving men with power and stealing their secrets out from under them.
I don’t know what happened to her before she started working for us but she relishes seeing men brought to their knees.
She’ll be surprised Rebel is siccing her on a brother, but I trust her to keep her mouth shut. She has it good working for us, an expensive apartment, a brand new car, anything she wants to buy herself she can. Ellie is loyal, no matter how many people have tried to lure her away, she has remained part of the Blackhawk Disciples outer ring.
We get things cleared up and secured at the warehouse and head back to the clubhouse. When we pull up, the bar is open and people are inside. Shit. What the hell is Cherry going to be thinking. I was a fucking asshole who ran out on her.
Jesus, it’s probably for the best that she thinks that. Still, I find myself going into the bar and heading straight for Raven, who is busy instructing a brother to change a barrel for her.
“Hey,” she looks up at me. “Got your message. I had the bracelet.”
“That’s good.”
“Found it in the hallway,” she gives me a look but doesn’t say anything more, she doesn’t need to. “I’m meeting her friend Dana in the city to give to her. Figured you didn’t want her coming back. You know, since I watched the video,” she gives me an undecipherable look.
“Raven,” I grind out.
“Relax, I deleted it.Again. But you need to be careful.”
“Don’t tell me what to do, Raven.”
“When it comes to club business, you know I tow the line. But that girl, she isn’t the kind of girl who can be around a place like this. You need to leave that alone.”
“When I want your advice, I’ll ask for it.” And she isn’t a girl. She’s a fucking sexy, distracting woman.
Raven rolls her eyes, and I resist the urge to give her shit, instead heading back outside. Looking around the area my thoughts go back to this afternoon. Thank fuck only Raven saw that video, in the heat of the moment, I didn’t even think of the cameras.
