Widow's Undoing (Ruthless Sinners MC #4) - L. Wilder Page 0,46
As we all started inside, he leaned over to Sean and whispered, “Dude, you should’ve seen inside the clubhouse. It was fuu...freaking awesome.”
“I wanted to, but Mom wouldn’t let me.” Sean glanced back at me with malevolence. “I bet it was awesome.”
“It was!” Corry continued talking as we went inside the house. “It had everything. This big family room with TVs mounted on the wall. There were pool tables and dart boards, and a refrigerator full of drinks. It was like a big hotel or something. It had all these different bedrooms, and a big ol’ kitchen. It was so freaking cool!”
“Wait.” I whipped around as I asked, “Widow took the time to show you around the clubhouse?”
“Not exactly.” His face twisted into a grimace as he admitted, “He told me to wait for him in the family room, but I got curious and snuck out to look around a little.”
“So, once again, you didn’t do as you were told!”
“Oh, come on, Mom. It’s...”
“Do not tell me it isn’t a big deal like you always do, because it is a big freaking deal! You have no business snooping around that place! We don’t know anything about them.”
Corry rolled his eyes. “Why do you have to be so dramatic about everything?”
“How about this for dramatic?” I crossed my arms and shouted, “You just added two more weeks to your grounding, and the PlayStation is mine! Unhook it and put it in my bedroom.”
“What?”
“You heard me! I’m done with all this mess. As long as you are living under my roof, you will follow my rules!” I pointed my finger towards his room. “End of discussion!”
“Gah, you’re worse than Dad!” He stormed towards his room, and just before he slammed his door, he shouted, “I hate this place! I can’t wait until I’m eighteen and I can get out of here.”
Even though I knew he was angry and lashing out, his words still hurt. I loved him with every ounce of my being, and I hated to be the one who made him upset, but it was my job to raise him. I had to push back and teach him how to be a good man—a man who was nothing like his father. To do that, I needed to know exactly what happened at the park, but Corry refused to talk to me about it. Over the next couple of days, I tried time and time again, but I always got the same vague response. It was pointless. If I was going to get the answers to my questions, I was going to have to talk to Roman. He was my only hope of putting all the pieces together.
Chapter 11
Widow
There’s nothing worse than seeing a brother wounded. It was a reminder that we weren’t as invincible as we’d like to think. Country was black and blue from head to toe, and even though he still hadn’t fully woken up, Doc assured us that he was strong and would eventually come around. The waiting hadn’t been good for any of us. We were all on edge. We’d spent the last forty-eight hours stewing over who could’ve hurt our brother. The only thing keeping us from completely losing it was the fact Menace was making some headway on finding out who was behind Country’s attack. The guy was a fucking genius when it came to computers. Once he set his mind to it, there wasn’t anything he couldn’t do, so none of us were surprised when Viper called us all into church and informed us that Menace had news to share.
It was clear from looking at him Viper was exhausted. He’d been sitting with Country around the clock waiting for some sign that he was going to be okay—a sign we’d all been waiting on. The only reason he’d left his side was to deliver the information Menace had brought him. With a fierce look on his face, Viper started, “Menace believes he’s found the men who attacked Country. I’ve looked over the photographs, but I’ve never seen these boys before. Not part of any revival club or gang I’m aware of, so I’ve got no idea why they’d jump Country.”
He slid several photographs to the center of the table and waited as we all took a look. The second I saw the first guy’s face, I knew I’d seen him before. I reached for the picture, holding it up close, and that’s when it hit me. He was one of the men who’d
