“I got it.”Bane nodded then he turned and left the room.
Pappy sighed as he asked James for a phone.“I need to talk to my woman.I realize she probably heard something about the copter from Trudy.”
James handed him his cell.
Pappy tapped in the number.When the call was answered, he spoke, “Baby?”
Everyone could hear his wife yelling and crying.
“Hey, hey!”he tried to speak.
More crying and sniffles.
“I’m okay.”He listened then replied, “Yes I’m telling the truth.I’m talkin’ to ya, aren’t I?”He then winced as she went on with her emotional exclaiming.“Babe, I’m alive and I love you.Tell Baby Girl to call me.Yes, baby, yes.”He then ended the call.Looking up, he told Shay, “Your turn buddy and I hope it will be easier than that.”
The men all chuckled at this.
Shay sighed.“At least, I might have some time before I deal with that.”
“Nah man, my McKenna called her.So you’d best hop to it.”Stone rolled his eyes.“Well, nothopbut you get the idea.”
Now Bane came back into the room and handed the paperwork to Shay.
Shay read the words and he slowly began to smile.“Oh, brothers, this is pure gold.”He looked up at Stone.“We got the fucker this time, we finally got that slimy toad.”Then he turned to Bane and asked the million-dollar question, “Tell me you got Owens.”
Bane nodded, “I got him.And I think I know the link between the two men.”
Shay stared at him.“What do you mean, the link between them?You have your own info on these guys?”
Bane shrugged.“When I see a man like Spencer Wagner rise so fast, I start a background file on him.When he gained such instant prominence I looked even further into him.I went to the ends of the earth to discover how he ticks, how he makes his money then I look again to discover his deeply hidden secrets.That’s when I found several things in his background that matched Jasper Owens.I discovered the secret they both share.”
“And what is that secret?”Shay asked.
“They share the same mother,” Bane informed them.
James gasped.“What the hell?”
Bane nodded.“They are both her sons.Miranda Gaynor gave birth to two sons and one daughter.She never kept any of her children but she did keep them around her when it suited her.And she gave them all their father’s names.”He shook his head.“And let me tell you, Miranda is a piece of work.”
Shay snorted.“You can say that again.I know all about Miranda because she had a scheme running on military wives of all things.Gypping them out of their savings.She has spent more time in prison than most con women.Certainly, more than either of her sons and that says a lot since Owens just walked out after ten years.That woman is hardened by more than just life.Her father left her a small fortune that she used to run her own enterprise.She ran everything including guns, drugs and stolen goods.She used up one MC as she either got them killed or sent to prison for doing her dirty work.And the Blood Wolves are nothing but Spencer’s own army of mercenaries.They will work for anyone who pays them and they have absolutely no loyalty to anyone who doesn’t pay them.”
James smiled.“Well, that gives us a starting point.”He moved out of the room and when he came back he set his laptop up and began typing furiously.
Twenty minutes later, he was reaching for his phone.He spoke for a few minutes then he ended the call and looked over at Bane.
He raised a brow at James.”“I was wondering when you would tell me what you are up to.”
James shook his head.“Oh, ye of little patience.”
Bane quirked an eyebrow at him.
James nodded and went on to explain, “I gave the information to Excaliber and she’s going to follow up on the financial part of all of this.Spencer is trying to hide behind his army.Well, I say that we’re going to see just how loyal his army is when his money is diverted.”
Stone stared at his brother-in-law and James.“You guys can’t break the law like that, you know?”
James stared at him.“I think your Trudy knows this trick too.We bend laws but we don’t break them.”
Bane shook his head at Stone.“We aren’t robbing the man.We’re just putting his wealth in a place where he can’t find it.We aren’t taking a dime.It will all be intact when this is over but he won’t be able to spend that dime either.”
