enough for Spark and whoever’s with him to hear through the phone but inside the house as well, as he lights the very tip of the fuse and throws it at the front door.
Shit. We have to jump back as the front immediately explodes shaking the ground around us. Fuck, Harlow was right.
Screams come from within the house and in minutes it’s over.
“Damn, Ranger, remind me to never piss your ol’ lady off,” Venom grumbles.
“Fuck, I think I need to get her to show me how she makes these,” Gadget says, having removed the bandana from covering his face, he is grinning like a lunatic as he makes his way to us.
“Damn straight. That could have come in handy several times over the past several years,” Twister chuckles.
“I’ll talk to her.” Grinning myself as I remove my own bandana. “You all ready to get the fuck out of here?” I ask, ready to get to my woman.
“Yep. Knowing that fucker is dead, I’ve got a phone call to make then we can head out,” Stoney says pulling out his phone. A moment later, he’s got it on speaker.
“Stoney,” Cowboy says in greeting.
“News for you, Spark’s dead,” Stoney says not missing a beat.
“What the fuck? You knew when you caught his ass, I wanted a piece of the action,” Cowboy snarled.
“Too fuckin’ bad. He threatened my little girl Corinne, my granddaughter, and my son’s niece.”
“Fuck,” Cowboy mutters. “So, he’s dead? You sure?”
“Asswipe is burnt to a crisp,” Stoney sneers, eyes darting to the still raging fire.
“At least that’s good news. Gotta go tell Boss this shit. She’ll be happy to hear it.” I hadn’t had the chance to meet this dude but from what I’d heard he’d moved from Canada, transferring to be with Boss and Destiny.
“You do that and tell Destiny to eat a chocolate cuppie cake for me,” Stoney chuckles.
“Got it,” Cowboy grumbles and disconnects.
Pushing the phone back in his pocket, Stoney shakes his head with a sigh.
“You good, Prez?” I ask.
“Yeah, I’m good. Sometimes it sucks knowing Destiny’s being raised by another man.” Cocking my head, I take in his words.
“Regret it?”
“Not for a second. I get Destiny’s mine, but at the same time she’s not. She’s theirs. Was meant to be Boss and Cowboy’s. Kid’s a miracle worker bringing those two together. Fuckin’ sucks admitting it and yeah, if I’d known about the kid before getting with Rachel, I would have done right by Boss making her mine. But in the end, she wasn’t it for me, never was. We fucked that was it. No real feelings involved. With Rachel I have it all and I know this. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t get to me every now and again the decision I made; however, it was worth it in the end.”
Nodding, I let my Prez’s words sink in.
Yeah, decisions like that are hard to make and as well as live with. In the end it’s how you go about it that makes it worth everything.
“Come on let’s get the hell out of here,” Stoney yells out and heads back the way we came.
“Now, we just need to get rid of the rest of the scum on our plates and we’ll be shitting rainbows,” Blaze grumbles as he catches up to us. He’d been on the other side of the house with a few of the others.
“Yeah, Ezra will get his and so will his sister. Then we’ll find this Chigger fucker and put him out of business,” I mutter.
“Fuck, right we will.” Chuckling at Blaze’s remark, I pick up speed ready to get to Harlow.
As we get closer, I break off from them making a beeline for her. “I’ll catch y’all later. Harlow and I are going to check out this house in Sandbridge,” I call out over my shoulder earning catcalls and whistles.
Eyes on Harlow I find her smiling. Fuck, I love seeing that smile. We’d ridden up here in three cages to get here quick not knowing what we’d need, works for me since I don’t have to leave her car behind.
“Let’s go, baby,” I mutter, pointing at the passenger seat for her to get in and head for the front of the car to put the hood down. “Get in.”
“Um, Ranger, you’ll need this to be able to start it,” Harlow giggles. Fuckin’ giggles while holding out what looks like a small fuse from the fuse box. “It’s the fuse for the ignition.”
“Fuck, brother, you don’t marry her I will,” Wolf calls out.
“Shut the
