Free Revenge by Sam Crescent Page B

into the passenger side, he closed the door,
but Alex was already pulling away before he did.
    “How did you know what was going on?” Tiny asked.
    “Patricia may have been your fucking wife, but she was
my sister. Lash told me first. Tate’s losing her shit, and we need to get there
to help calm the situation down before she does something we’ll all regret.”
Alex didn’t take his eyes off the road. “Murphy’s trying to calm her down.”
Tate wasn’t the easiest person to calm down when she was upset. She lost her
shit easily.
    “What the fuck were they doing outside of the
clubhouse? We were on lockdown for a fucking reason.” Tiny slammed his fist
against the plastic interior in front of him.
    “Hey, watch the fucking car. Tate lives by her own
rules. Not only that, this lockdown hasn’t been as tight as
all the others. Women are coming and going. I’m not going to bitch at
Tate for going to see her mother. You shouldn’t either.”
    Silence filled the car at Alex’s anger.
    “Shit, I’m sorry. I don’t know what to think. Who
would desecrate Patricia’s resting place? It’s sick.”
    “Gonzalez would,” Alex said.
    “Why? We’ve done nothing to him.”
    “We’re marrying Pussy with his woman and Butch with
Cheryl. He’s seen us working with the Chaos crew. After the shit they pulled
back in Piston County, I’d say Gonzalez is getting himself a little payback.
I’m surprised it has taken this long for him to lash out.”
    Neither of them talked for several minutes as Alex
worked the small traffic in Fort Wills. Tiny was losing his temper with every
moment that passed. Tate was a bitch at times, but she was still his daughter. He’d
do anything for her even though she pissed him off. There were times he
wondered what Murphy saw in her and if he could think that then he knew the guy
loved her.
    “What’s Butch saying?” Tiny asked. He was leaving all of the information gathering to Alex and Butch. There
was only so much he wanted to be involved in. Butch was risking his life for
the club, and he didn’t want to give away what he knew to anyone else.
    “Gonzalez is playing it cool over what happened with
Devil. He knows a hit is going to take place, but he doesn’t know where or
when.” Alex turned the corner. “He’s laying low for
now, waiting for his time to strike.”
    “What else has Butch said?”
    “That when Gonzalez comes out of hiding, we’re all
fucked, but I don’t think that’s an actual threat. Butch is going by his gut
and warning us.”
    Tiny nodded. “It makes sense. Devil started stirring a
pot full of shit. It’s only a matter of time before one or all of us end up on
the shit list.”
    “You’ve got to think about your allegiance with Devil
and the Chaos Bleeds Crew, Tiny. They’re fucking dangerous. Devil will end up
getting one or all of us killed.”
    He glanced toward his former brother-in-law. Alex was
a lot of things, but he was never jealous. Tiny knew if he was talking about
getting rid of Devil, then it was for a good reason.
    “Devil’s a friend. I’m not going to cut him off. He’s
been there for The Skulls whenever we’ve needed him.”
    “There’s a difference. We’ve never gone hunting for
trouble or for a fight. Devil has. He’s going to start a war with Gonzalez, and
everyone in his path is going to get stung in the process. It’s something
you’re going to need to consider.”
    “I’m not turning my back on Devil.”
    “Okay, I’ll follow you, but if you put my son or niece
in danger then I’ll fucking take him out. It’s got nothing to do with the club
and more about my own feelings,” he said.
    “Look, give Devil a chance. You’ve never been his
biggest fan, but please, give him a chance. He’s got his club in his best
interests.”
    “Exactly, Tiny. He’s got his own interests for his own club in his thoughts.” Alex
pulled up outside of the curb where the graveyard was.
    Murphy was stood with his arms around a
