“No he doesn’t,” she argued, staring back at her. “He couldn’t, possibly.”
I bit the inside of my cheek to keep myself in check and watched on as Reina brought Lacey back into the living room.
“She’s showing signs of PTSD you might want to take her to the hospital,” Stryker suggested, forcing me to turn to him.
“What do you know about that?”
“A fuck of a lot, I was discharged from the Army two years ago,” he replied. “She should talk to somebody.”
“We got it under control,” I ground out. “Now, get your ass over to the compound and rally up the boys. I want Bones here first thing watching out for them. Do we know what precinct arrested him?”
He froze for a second, shrugging his shoulders and twisted his neck from side to side before he answered me.
“The one, two, two,” he replied, pulling open the door.
I shoved my boots on, not bothering with the laces and charged out the door with Stryker on my back. I had the boys meet me down at the police station. Pipe had the bail bondsman on speed dial and Wolf…that crazy fuck, went and pulled the clubs lawyer from his house and dragged him to the station in his pajamas. Riggs wasn’t answering his phone so, I had Bones go over to my house and watch over my girls.
The police love fucking with us, stringing us along and with Brantley heading the case we got nowhere real fast. They were keeping Blackie locked up in a holding cell until he was arraigned but since it was the weekend that wouldn’t be until Monday.
The lawyer was able to get inside and talk to him but when he came back out of the interrogation room he shook his head and added another three grand to the bill. Blackie wasn’t talking, not to him, not to the cops…no one.
He’d talk to me.
I wouldn’t give him a choice.
I needed answers.
There are two things in this world you don’t fuck with when it comes to me and that’s my family and my fucking respect.
Someone fucked with my daughter tonight.
Someone hurt her real bad, violated her and disrespected her.
And someone saved her.
Blackie, the man I trusted with my daughter’s life but never thought to trust him with her heart.
Or her mind.
