know if I would ever know that.

“Then I’ll help you figure it out. Better or worse, Dee, I’m here. You’re not getting rid of me again.”

He brushed his fingers through my hair and sighed. “Sleep. Clear your mind, and just sleep.”

I rolled onto my side and threw an arm over his chest. “I’ll try,” I whispered.

It didn’t take much trying.

I passed out in minutes and slept like a baby while Point held me ‘til the sun rose.

Chapter Fifteen

Vengeance was coming…

“I should be able to fix that.” Dyno pressed a finger to the hole in the siding. “You guys are fucking lucky it didn’t ricochet off.”

I knew Deedra and I were lucky. The second the bullets stopped flying and Deedra and I were still breathing, I knew someone had been watching over us.

“I won’t mention the ones that hit about six inches from my head.”

Dyno stood up and wiped his hands on his pants. “Fucking crazy, brother. Goes to show crazy shit can happen at the drop of a hat.”

“And for a reason, you don’t know.” Quinn ran his fingers through his hair. “What the fuck is going on?”

That was something I had stayed up all night wondering. I held Deedra in my arms and stared at the ceiling for six hours. I couldn’t close my eyes with having the fear in Deedra’s eyes flash before me. Everyone kept telling us we were lucky. I fucking knew that.

We were lucky, and now, I was terrified.

What would have happened if Deedra hadn’t come to the clubhouse? What if she had told me she didn’t want to meet me there and she went home? Would this kid had shown up at her place and they both would be dead right now?

Every possible alternate scenario had run through my head, driving me fucking insane.

A police car pulled into the driveway and parked behind Dyno and Quinn’s bikes.

Detective Crew climbed out of the car and walked over to us.

“I was hoping we were done seeing you, Kaye,” Quinn muttered.

She pushed her sunglasses on top of her head. “That would make two of us, Quinn. Trouble just seems to keep following you guys.”

Dyno grunted. “Whatever the hell, this shit is has nothing to do with the club.”

“That may be so, but you guys are in the middle of it somehow.” Kaye walked over to the bullet-ridden siding. “They just sprayed bullets, didn’t they?”

“So it would seem,” I muttered.

“You the one who was here when it happened?” she asked.

I nodded. “Me and my wife.”

“Didn’t know one of you guys was actually in a committed relationship.” She crouched down and ran her finger over the siding.

“Is that some backhanded comment?” Quinn asked. “More than half of the club are in committed relationships. Might be projecting some of your own issues on us.”

“Just an observation,” she muttered.

Detective Kaye Crew previously had a tumultuous relationship with Brick that had not ended well at all. None of us really knew the details of it other than she had flipped on him when she was undercover.

“Well, why don’t we just stick with your observation about the shooting, yeah?” Dyno retorted.

Kaye held up her hands. “You got it.” She pointed to the house. “Any idea how long the kid was hiding in the bushes?”

I shrugged. “About ten minutes before we pulled into the driveway, Joseph had texted Deedra telling her he needed to talk. I would assume that is around the time he got here.”

“So, he had a jump on whoever was chasing him, but he lost that when she wasn’t home.” Kaye stood up and wiped her hands on her pants.

Let’s hope Kaye never told that theory to Deedra. “I would assume so.”

“He didn’t say anything about who he was running from?”

I shook my head. “No. He was about to talk when the bullets started happening. Deedra thinks he might have found out information he shouldn’t, and they were after him for that.”

“What kind of information?”

“The kind about who might be the new guy moving into the recently vacated spot by the Clarks.” This was all a theory that really had no actual fact to it.

Kaye pursed her lips and nodded. “I had the same idea. Had Joseph given her any leads in the past that someone might not like?”

“Deedra never said anything like that, but I can’t tell you for sure.”

She hitched her thumb toward the house. “She inside? I want to talk to her too. I’m hoping I might be able to piece together something to help us figure out
