They help her lay back on the couch, and I kneel to take her face in my hands.
“I have Church and then I’ll be right back out, okay?”
Bambi just nods as tears clouded her vision. I gently kiss her before standing. It takes everything in me to walk away from her.
But I know she’s in good hands, and I need to find the fucker who scared my woman.
I turn to Willow, and she just nods her head. Joker leans down to whisper something in Bambi’s ear before Striker clears his throat.
“Join us, Joker.”
We all soberly walk in and take our seats. Striker bangs the gavel and looks toward me. I open the box and show my Brothers.
“Tiffani’s hand. It was delivered to Bambi today at her fucking house. Club property! Not only that, but they left a note for her to stay away from me.”
Brother’s turn their heads at the sight of the bloody hand. I want them all to feel what Bambi felt this morning.
Zane stands with a scowl on his face. “What the fuck? She needs to be watched twenty-four-seven. This is insane.”
“I know. I’m just glad I was there when she found it.”
Everybody turns their heads away as Zane walks closer to me. “Lucky fucking Bambi, huh? Fucking lucky that you were there breaking her heart again.”
I stand and edge toward the Prospect. “Listen, Zane. Bambi has been mine since before you were even born. I don’t know why you’re so obsessed with her, but you need to back off, Brother. It’s more complicated than you think.”
“And my situation is more complicated than you think. You back off, man.”
I push him to the ground and Striker comes over to stand between us.
“She’s mine. There’s nothing complicated about your situation because Bambi is fucking mine!”
Zane is visibly frustrated as he runs his hands through his hair, glaring at me.
“I’m not discussing this with you, Goose. I haven’t even talked to Bambi about it, for fuck’s sake.”
Striker and Maverick stand next to Zane to prevent me from attacking him.
“What the fuck, Striker?”
He shakes his head and puts his hands up. “Listen, it’s more complicated than you think, Brother. This is personal and not club business until we know all the details. I don’t want to get people’s hopes up...Zane has asked me to stay silent until we know and I need to respect his wishes. I’ve got your back, just trust me on this one, okay?”
I didn’t know what the fuck was going on anymore. My own President is hiding something from me after I spill my fucking guts to him about Bambi. Growling, I sit back down and cross my arms.
Joker clears his throat to get us back on track. “I think it may just be the Shadow Raiders. They’ve got a past with Bambi and now some of their men are here and planning a coup.”
He shrugs and looks around the room. Striker sighs and sits back in his chair.
“It could be. Who the fuck knows at this point? What do you think we should do, Joker? This coup is your show.”
“More weapons. Let’s go full fucking speed here. If it is Snake, then he’s going to come full force. He doesn’t sit and plan, he just goes head first. It’s reckless, but works sometimes. Willow and Bambi will be his number one targets. And that means Lilah is in the crosshairs.”
Mav nods, “But it won’t work for us. We’re smarter than that. I want everybody to bring their families here if you can. Nobody leaves the compound alone, brothers included. I can’t let anything happen to Willow again. And my baby sister has been through enough shit already. She won’t get hurt again.”
Striker’s phone rings, and he looks down. Looking at us, he puts his finger up and steps away.
“Hey, baby. I’m in the middle of-”
His face turns white, and he looks back to the table. Maverick and I stand and wait to find out what’s happening with our baby sister.
