“You ever consider Jake for a prospect rocker?”

Wrath’s shaking his head before I finish the question. “He rides maybe three months out of the year. Besides, his brother will kill him if he gets any more involved with us criminals.”

This is news to me. Sully’s always been friendly and respectful when I’ve met him. “Why? Sully’s a good guy. He—”

“Exactly,” Wrath says, ending the conversation.

“Bronze is still in the area.” Our favorite tattoo artist has been a friend of the club for years.

“I think if he had any genuine interest, he would’ve said so years ago,” Rock says.

“True.” You either have outlaw blood in your veins or not.

“If you can, I’d like you to take Dex to your next meet with the Demons,” Rock says.

“All right,” I answer slowly. “Chaser knows him pretty well though.”

“He does,” Rock agrees. “I want them to get used to seeing his face, though.”

“Shit, Rock, you trying to replace me already?” I say it with a smile, like I’m joking, but the mere idea has my stomach clenching. Not that I don’t trust Dex. He’s vice president material, no doubt. Doesn’t mean I’m ready to hand him my VP patch.

“You know that’s not what this is about,” Rock says.

“Dex isn’t as much fun to fuck with as you are,” Wrath adds.

I roll my eyes. “Lucky me.”

Wrath’s phone buzzes and he pulls it out, frowning at the text. “Speaking of Jake.”

“You need to go?” Rock asks.

“If you don’t need me, yeah.”

Three of us stand, but I stay on my side of the table. One grizzly bear hug is enough for today.

“You moving Lilly down this week?” Wrath asks.

“Her brother’s helping, but yeah.”

“You need anything?”

“No, brother. I got it.”

After Wrath’s gone, Rock lifts an eyebrow. “Getting along with her brother better now?”

I shrug. “We seem to have called a truce. I still think he’s a dick.”

“Naturally.” Rock tips his head and studies me closer. “You look like you got a lot on your mind.”

I drop back into my seat and Rock does likewise. “I finally got some answers from Lilly.”

“And?”

After the rage cleared, I considered my options. One of my best opportunities to get at this guy if he’s convicted is immediately after the trial. I’ll have a narrow window where he’ll be at the local Federal facility while he’s being processed into the system. After that, it will be tough to track him down.

“I might need help getting access to someone in federal custody in the near future. Stump has a connection—”

“No.”

“Rock, I don’t need your permission.”
