Dutch would not be surprised if his body started buzzingsince the noise in his head was so goddamned loud.
“Am I in some kind of biker’s babe trouble?”she askedquietly.
“I’m not sure how to answer that,” he told her.
“That means I’m in some kind of biker’s babe trouble,” shesurmised.
“I would tell you to be less you, but that would suck,because I like all that’s you.But I do not need Roscoedreamin’of you in your sweet robe.”
“I didn’taskmy sister to come to your place andthrow a tantrum,” she pointed out.“And I didn’t ask Roscoe to be there towitness it.But since she arrived in full-bore drama, I couldn’t exactly take asec and get dressed before I saved you from it.”
Dutch sighed.
“Are wegonnago get Carlyle?”shedemanded.
He straightened from her but did it grabbing her hand andpulling her off the stool.
He then turned to the men.“Hound, Jag, with me and Georgie.We’regonnaneed a safe house for Carlyle.Who’s onthat?”
“He can stay up the mountain with Red and me,” Tack said.“Distance means more safety.And we got room.But if he’s as big as you say,we’ll need two, three guys on hand to lock him down if needed.”
“I’m up,” High said.
“I’m there too,”Shyadded.
“And me,” Joker finished it.
“Right.We’re covered,” Tack decreed to Dutch.
“How big is he?”Tyra asked.
“Probably six nine, three hundred pounds,” Dutch told her.
“I better get to the grocery store,” she mumbled.
“I’m in,” Elvira said.
“Me too,” Tabby said.
“And me,” Keely put in.
“I’m on Gary Bronson and I want Snap, Chill and Dog withme,” Rush declared.“Keely, give us everything you got.”
Rush moved toward his mom.
“As discussed at the table, Pete, Boz, Arlo, you men are onthe neighbor,” Tack reminded them.“We need to know everywhere the woman goes,get shots of anyone in and out of her house, anyone she meets with, anyone sheeven gives eyes to.Yeah?”
“Who’s got her info?”Boz asked.
“Got you, boo,” Elvira said.
When Dutch returned his attention to Georgie, she was givinghim a happySee?look.
He kissed her quick, looked at his dad and brother, jerkedhis chin up at them, then pulled his girl out to his truck.
The scene they rolled into at the flophouse addressKraken gave Georgie was not what they expected.
Mostly because they walked in not to see Banga and Krakenguarding a probably pissed-as-shit Carlyle.
