    “Didn’t say I wasn’t gonna. Said I hadn’t yet.” Jake decided to grab the seat by her.
     
    Allison didn’t like him being that close to her. It made her feel weird. She chalked it up to fear of death. It wasn’t that she’d never been in danger. It was that she’d never stuck around to see how that story played out. Her job was simple. Get the goods, make the money, get the fuck out. Why the hell was she still here?
     
    “Well, pardon me if I don’t wait around on you to change that.” She was digging money out of her pocket.
     
    That made him laugh. A girl that didn’t carry a bag. That was new. She threw the cash on the bar and headed out the door, leaving Jake to wonder what her deal was and why he’d never told the guys that she was here.
     
    ***
     
    Allison stood outside the seedy bar and tried to regain her composure. Who would have thought the one place she chose to walk into would be filled with the guys who wanted her dead? God, she needed help on this one. But the one thing she was beginning to think was that her plan might work.
     
    If Jake hadn’t told them she was here and she wasn’t even trying to get close, she might stand a chance on getting to him and having him help her. But first, she had to find somewhere to be. Apparently the Dixon Crew was going to hang around, and that meant she couldn’t be seen.

    Jake wanted to follow her. He wanted to ask her questions and find out what was going on. He wanted to know where she was and what she was doing. What he didn’t understand was why. She was right. He should have told them. He’d do anything for those guys. But he hadn’t.
     
    They could have taken care of things and then been back on the road. They had gotten what they needed from here. They’d already sold it and cashed in on the dough. It was time to leave. Time to head to their next destination.
     
    This girl and whatever beef the guys had with her were delaying them. Which was costing them money. Him money. And he wasn’t having much fun around this hick town. He was ready. So then why’d he let her walk out? 
     
    “Guys I gotta run out for a minute. I’ll be back.” Jake had hurried to the table and let his brothers know he was leaving. It wasn’t required. Hell, how many times had they spent days wondering where Logan was hiding? Usually turned out he’d met some babe that he took a liking to.
     
    He’d disappear for a few days and he’d come back when he was bored. One had come with him and she spent months on the road with the gang. Then she just left one day for a man she’d met at a truck stop on the road. Beautiful women were a problem waiting to happen. Best to have a little fun and walk away. That was Jake’s motto and he stuck to it pretty well.
     
    Until now. When he was searching outside the bar for a woman he didn’t know. A woman his buddies should know had been here, but didn’t. A woman he wasn’t even really sure why he wanted to find.

    “They are trying to catch me, so I don’t talk to you.” Allison walked out of the dark alley after she watched Jake pass by for the third time. If he went around three times and none of the others followed then chances are he hadn’t told them. This was her chance to try and complete this job. “Allison Russell,” she said, holding her hand out for him to shake.
     
    He didn’t. He just glanced at it and stood there.
     
    “Jake Brighton.” He studied her face. “But I’m assuming you already know that.” She nodded. “Talk to me about what?”
     
    Allison thought this over for a minute. She knew what she was about to do was dangerous. But could it really be any more dangerous than running from a gang of bikers? Wasn’t like the Dixon Crew would stay put and she could escape. They travelled almost as much as she did. And what Logan Dixon wanted, he got.
     
    Right now, he wanted her dead before she shared the information she’d found. “Can we go
