Free Burnt Rubber: Adults Only Motorcycle Club Romance: Roadrunners MC by Selena Black Page A

sound of a motorbike, so he guessed that was how they fled the scene. He stuck around to watch the action when the police eventually turned up at the place, but they left empty handed. It seems that Carter and the girl have escaped for the moment.”
     
    “Shit,” Jacob yelled and brought his fist down on the table yet again as his anger exploded. “This is a fucking disaster.”
     
    Johnny stepped away from the desk in expectation of everything on it being sent crashing to the floor, but for once it didn’t happen. His first thought was to tell his boss to keep control of his son if he wanted to avoid disasters, but he didn’t dare voice it and knew he would be wasting his breath even if he did. Jacob’s blind spot to his son’s failings was legendary. Jake was a smiling psychopath and his regular outbursts of unwarranted violence brought nothing but trouble. The murder of the drug dealer was just another example of that, and he only got away with his insane behavior because of who he was.
     
    “I thought you said that Andy Carter running wasn’t such a bad thing,” Jake said.
     
    Johnny almost let out a laugh at the younger man’s lack of understanding, but he managed to keep it in as Jacob explained.
     
    “It would have been a good thing if it was just the Roadrunners, but not if the girl is with them. We’ve set the police on Andy Carter and as things stand, if they find him they find her too. We can’t have that because she witnessed the murder of the dealer. If she tells the police what she saw, that gets Carter off the hook and puts the finger on you.”
     
    The realization seemed to dawn on Jake and he let out an inaudible curse before speaking.
     
    “We need to get to them first then.”
     
    “Where will they go?” Jacob asked when he looked at Johnny.
     
    “The Roadrunners traffic drugs and arms up the coast all the way to Canada,” the enforcer replied. “I would assume they’ll stick to what they know and that Carter will head north and try to get across the state border as quickly as he can. From there they will likely head for one of the Roadrunner’s safe houses further north. They might even look to cross the border to Canada.”
     
    “You need to pull out the stops on this one,” Jacob told him. “Call in every favor you can and put the heat on every informant we have to find out where these fuckers are going. We need to make sure we get to them before the police and stop this girl from shooting off her mouth.”
     
    “Sure thing, boss,” Johnny said and walked to the door.
     
    “Keep us informed about what you find out,” Jake said. “I want to know what’s going on.”
     
    Johnny just glanced over his shoulder and nodded his head.
     
    “Fucking prick,” he mouthed quietly after closing the door.
     
    As far as he was concerned, Jake could get sent down for murder and he couldn’t have cared less. There was more important business to be taking care of than cleaning up his mess, but the orders from his boss were clear and he walked away from the office with the intention of carrying them out.
     

Chapter 7
     
    Angela blew out a puff of air as she brought her car to a stop in the basement parking lot of her field office. Her hands remained on the steering wheel as she continued to mull over her earlier conversation with Detective Allan, but she eventually tried to put it out of her head. She was still certain that there was a whiff of set up around the fact a murder weapon with fingerprints was found so conveniently next to the body of the victim, but knew it was out of her hands to do anything about it. If the local police wanted to believe the evidence, it was their prerogative, and she just needed to make a report of what she found out and move on to other work. News of what happened would filter through eventually, and she could make a note of the updated information.
     
    Picking up her jacket from the passenger seat, she got out of the car and locked the
