Story: Desert Heat
“Three dead in the car and one went over the cliff.”
“Prints?”
“Doubt it.”
“Fuck,” he blew out a breaths he ran his hands through his hair. Take the truck with the girls. We have a safe house outside of North Conway in Jackson. I had my local person start getting it ready with supplies and the wood stove going. You can lay low there for a while.”
I nodded. “We need a medic.”
“I already have someone on their way, Doc McShay. She married into the MC. She worked for Boston Hospital. She’ll be thorough and discreet.”
Rogan and I gently lifted our loves in to the back cab of the truck. “I appreciate this.” I clasped Valor’s hand. “Me and my crew are officially in your debt.”
“Damn straight you are. I’ll have this cleaned up. We got law on the inside. We watch each other’s backs up here.”
“No, doubt. I appreciate it, brother.”
“…Tank?”
“Shhh, baby. You’re safe. Both of you are safe. Please just slowly sip the water in back and try to stay awake in case you have a concussion. Hunter and I are taking you both someplace safe. We’ll explain everything then, okay?”
“Where’s the police and ambulance?” Brandi started to shake. My girl kept quiet as she started to come to. Her mind still hazy but Savvy knows the score. MC business is kept from scrutiny.
“We can’t. The men who did this are gangsters, Brandi we cant’t trust the police or the EMT’s.”
“Whhaaat? That’s ludicrious. They hurt me. I want justice.”
“They’re all dead. That’s justice,” Tank growled with his fist clenched.
Brandi gasped as her face turned white. “This is bad. So bad. All I wanted was to watch you play in the game… how did all of this happen?”
Tears sprung from Savvy’s eyes. “It’s my fault. All of this… I haven’t been truthful to any of you about who I am…”
“Shh, baby,” I twisted around from the front seat, pressing my index finger to her lips. “Later. We can go hash all of this out later. Right now I need to get you and Brandi safe and we have a concierge doctor meeting us at a place in North Conway.” I had taken off my Royal Bastards cut and stashed it under the seat. I’m not sure how much she observed or remembered when I arrived. Hopefully not much until I’m also ready to confess.
‘New Hampshire?” Brandi gasped again.
“It’s only a ninety minute drive. Until we know who came after you girls and why… we need to lay low.”
“This is like from a movie of TV show,” Brandi, exclaimed.
You have no idea,” I muttered, putting the truck into gear and taking off.
“…Hunter?” Savvy whispered as our eyes met in the rearview.
“I’ve got you…”
“But you’re…”
“Not who you think?”
“Neither were you sweetheart but we can talk about all this later, okay?”
“You Bastard,” she hissed. I engaged the child locks right as my little hellion’s wheels started turning. She tried ripping the door open without success.
“Not denying…”
“Rogan…,” I nodded my head to the glove box rights Savvy started trying to climb her way over the seat to rain tiny punches on me.
“Prints?”
“Doubt it.”
