James slowly shook his head.“Well, when she got back to work, she realized that Tucker was born after she left with me and she couldn’t make him disappear too.And because they couldn’t find me, our father never told Tucker he had a brother.So your sweet girlfriend got busted a few days later after an investigation into her stealing pharmaceuticals and selling them.She spent a long time in prison for causing a few overdoses in the hospital as well.Man, could you pick em or what?”
Bane stared at James.“Wow, that’s quite a story and one you never told before.”
James shrugged.“You have been sort of busy lately, Bane.You know?”
Charlie lowered his head and now seemed more concerned about checking on his bullet wound than any long-lost sons or nephews.
“I hope you bleed to death, fucker.You were a loser and still are, Charlie,” Deke stated.“You remember us, right?”
Charlie snapped his head up to glare at him and Sam.
“Yeah, you do,” Sam growled.“You fucking thief.”
Deke shook his head and stepped over to him.He grabbed one of his hands and wrenched it behind his back, then ziptied both hands.
Charlie screamed in pain.“My shoulder!”
“Aww, we are sooo sorry there, Charlie boy.Why would we want to cause you any pain?”Sam asked him in a cajoling voice.“It’s not like you gypped us out of millions of dollars, right?”
“Yeah,” Deke added to his comments.“It’s not like you hurt anyone.Like a hundred disabled veterans?Nooo, you wouldn’t do that, would you?”
Mountain went over and dealt with Jasper Owens.Ziptying his hands and moving him.
The man simply gaped at Mountain's size and he didn’t make any kind of a fuss.Knowing that the huge biker could easily snap his neck like a twig.
Perhaps he should have tried to get killed right off if he had known who and what Bane was.He didn’t seem to know him and he sure as hell did not know what his future would be when he met Bane officially.
They all moved to the front of the house.
Sitting the two zipteid men down in chairs, they had Sin’s men watching them.
Everyone else searched all the rooms in the house for anything that could be potentially dangerous or that might give them more information.
The men all came back with some files and a couple of cell phones.Hound brought in a laptop and asked James, “Can you break into one of these?”
James chuckled.“Is the sky blue?”He took it from him.
Bane had sat down at the kitchen table to read more of what was on the files that Hound had found.Suddenly, his cell pinged.Picking it up, he stared down at it to read the text he just got and sucked in a breath.He then snapped his head up.
Deke turned to stare at him.“What is it?”
Bane shook his head.“Like I said before.”He motioned to Owens.“He didn’t just sit on his hands while in lockup.Once a schemer, always a schemer.Right Jasper?”he growled.“I had guessed this correctly.Owens planned to get rid of his enemies.Of which there are quite a few, it seems.One is me.Then there is James.”He again stared down at the cell in his hand to read the text a second time.“Then there are two others.Shay Montross and Stone Masterson.”
The Sin’s Bastards all stared at him in a stunned silence.
“The fuck?”Deke spoke up.“We all know both men.Are they aware of this threat?”
“I just got this message from my IT, Excaliber.So no.”
Mountain paused.“That’s your IT?”he asked Bane in surprise.“Damn, that’s one of the Knights of Valor.”
“Yes, she's the best there is.”Bane gave him a nod as he did not mention that his own father was Valiant the leader of that same group.
“Nope,” Sam jumped in.“Baby Girl is the best.”
James nodded.“Seems there are quite a few of us that are at the top of that list.”
“We need to warn Pappy and Shay.”Sam took out his cell.He looked concerned as he had served with both men in the Service.They were also good friends of his to boot.He tapped a number and walked away to the far end of the room.
