Snake snarled and showed his true self by jutting his chin up.

Not many saw through Snake’s comical personality.

Winter and Lawless had seen.

“Don’t fucking insult me with even asking, you jackass. This is fucking insane, you know that…what if something happens?”

“It won’t.” Maybe. That was the dice he was rolling.

Lawless had purposefully left the three gates open.

And not a minute later the courtyard had two squad cars and the sheriff vehicle screeching to a halt.

Both men turned to watch the sheriff of Nottingham…or Armado Springs, climb out of his vehicle and head toward them.

He’d already had one big bust recently, his chest was going to snap in two all his pride puffing out for a second.

The MC usually got a visit from the law at least once a week for one reason or another, but they never had anything they could pin on them.

Not unless it was hand delivered in a gift basket tied with a neat bow and explained in small words even a town sheriff could understand.

Seriously, Lawless had left nothing to chance.

Charlie Timmons was an okay man as it went, Lawless knew this because he’d done extensive background checks on the do-gooder. Pity he wasn’t a closet pervert who wore his wife’s lipstick in private or liked to have his Johnson ticked by a gigolo while a hoard of degenerates jacked off watching.

Nah, this guy was cleaner than most and always on the right side of the law.

Lawless smiled while Snake at his side started to rattle a growl right as some of the other brothers came out to see what the ruckus was.

The lawman said Lawless’ given name, not one of his aliases as he started the Miranda warning. “You’re under arrest for the possession and selling of class A drugs.You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in court. You have the right to talk to a lawyer for advice before we ask you any questions. You have the right to have a lawyer with you during questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish. If you decide to answer questions now without a lawyer present, you have the right to stop answering at any time.”

He didn’t protest when his arms were taken behind his back to be cuffed.

He didn’t reject being led toward the cop car.

People started to fly out of the clubhouse, naturally they were shocked and angry. Lawless nodded his head only slightly to Rider who gave him one back, his jaw tight as he stood there, flanked by Hawk.

It was the dark hair flying behind the girl that got everyone’s attention.

Largely because her scream pierced the frosty air and caused battery acid to pour into Lawless’ chest cavity. That place which was dank and empty.

He couldn’t look. But he did. Maybe he was more meat that he realized.

He met Snake’s eyes as his friend caught and held Angela by both arms as she tried to struggle to get free, calling his name, trying to get to him, big fat tears falling down her cheeks.

She’d befine.

The boys would make sure of that.

He tried to give her a reassuring smile but wasn’t sure if it came out right.

Before he was shoved into the back of the car, the other officers rightly so standing warily by in case trouble was to start. They always came in heavy with any MC, but he could have told them there was no need.

He looked to Snake. “Tell your old lady I’m sorry about dinner, another time, yeah?”

“Lawless! Get off him, he hasn’t done anything wrong!” Her scream pierced the air.

His jaw twitched and he forced his gaze forward. “Let’s roll, sheriff. You have a fish to grill.”
