“Trust me it won’t be. They will be lurking around until they get something solid on the guys.” Karly wasn’t making be feel better.
“Something set you off back there Lace. What was it?” Beverly questioned.
“Agent Hall shouldn’t have called them scum and stuck her nose up. When she did that she reminded me of my mother and I hate my mother. She is very quick to judge people based -on looks alone.”
“Which one, Agent Hall or your mother?” Karly asked.
“Both.” I snapped.
We didn’t talk a lot for the rest of the drive to Tyler. I was lost in thought about what Karly said They will be lurking around until they get something solid on the guys. I knew she had to be talking about evidence that they were selling guns illegally. I don’t know what I would do if Force or Titan went to prison.
“Okay ladies, time for some pampering and relaxation.” Beverly said as we pulled into the spa.
A spa day with the girls was just what I needed. Mud mask, heated towel wraps, massages, and wine. This was the best thing next to spending all day in bed with Titan. I wonder if I could get Titan to come here with me. Then I laughed at the thought.
“What’s so funny?” Karly asked.
“I was just thinking about the guys having a spa day.” Only one guy, but all of them would still be funny.
“Ladies we got trouble coming. Get your shit and let’s go.” Vinny came in the front door and yelled at us just as we were getting our stuff ready.
“Vin what do you mean by trouble?” Beverly asked him.
“I called the Chiefs VP last night and told him we were coming today. He said they would keep an eye out for any Hellfires. Well he just called and said two Hellfires are heading our way. It may be a false alarm, but I’m not taking any chances.” Vinny was shoving us out the door.
“It’s a fairly large town Vinny, maybe they are going somewhere else.” I said trying to defuse the situation.
“I hope your right, but he also said one the Hellfires club sluts works in the spa. Better to be safe than sorry.” Vinny sighed.
“Ladies it looks like your card was denied. Could you please come back inside?” The lady from the front desk came outside and was waving us back inside.
We used my card and I remembered her handing me the receipt that said approved. “Don’t move girls. She handed me a receipt that said approved. This is a ploy to detain us.” I said as I looked through my purse looking for the piece of paper.
“Hurry Lace.” The girls said in unison.
“Here it is. I have the receipt right here.” I waved the paper up at the girl.
“You will have to bring it here and I will need to see the card and your license.” She yelled in response.
We ignored her and looked in the direction of the rumbling thunder coming right towards us.
“Stay behind me ladies and whatever you do, don’t tell them who Lacie really is.” Vinny was prepared.
I reached in my purse and grabbed my 380. I wasn’t sure if I could shoot anyone, but I knew Beverly could so I handed her the small pistol. She shook her head and stuck it in her waistband.
Two motorcycles pulled up in front of the car. Both men were wearing cuts that said Hellfire over the left breast. One had a patch under the Hellfire one that said VP and the other one didn’t’ have any other patches.
The VP pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and put one up to his mouth. “Any of you bitches got a lite?” He said looking right past Vinny.
“The ladies were just leaving Razor. Let them go and I’ll get you a lite.” Vinny cut in.
“Let them go, but I just got here.” Razor smiled and I noticed he was missing at least two teeth. “Karly you are looking sexy as ever. And who is the new bitch, she is hot.”
Beverly moved in front of me and I watched her put one hand on the pistol. ‘’She doesn’t concern you. She is my cousin in town for a few days.” Beverly was quick with the lie and I was thankful.
“Well we just wanted to come by and say hi. I’m sure the Chiefs will ride in and save the day if we tried to cause any trouble in their territory.” Razor talked like we were all old friends. “We don’t want any blood shed after you lovely ladies had such a nice day at the spa.” He had a very noticeable drawl.
They both got back on their bikes and rode off. I let out a breath I didn’t even realizing I was holding and noticed how bad my hand were shaking. I wasn’t sure if I was shaking from fear or anger. I turned my head to block my face from the dirt that was stirred up when they took off down the road.
When the dust settled I opened my eyes and focused on the figure standing by front door of the spa. It was the woman who stopped us from leaving. She was smoking a cigarette and smiling.
“Lacie where are you going?” I heard Karly talking to me, but I didn’t turn around.
I just kept walking until I was face to face with the cunt. She was about my height, but a little heavier. She smiled and blew smoke right in my face. In a matter of seconds I watched the smile fade as my fist came crashing into her face. Blood spewed from her nose and she went down hard.
“Oh shit. Bitch down.” Vinny said as he doubled over with laugher.

Lacie
Vinny wasted no time calling and telling on me like I was a child. I know it’s his job to watch over me and report back to Force. He wants to be patched in as a full member and I am just a job he has to do to get that patch. I can’t blame him or be mad at him because I know he deserves to be a member.
I just wish Force would either tell me shit about the club or let me live a life outside of the club. It would be different if I grew up in the club like he did, but I grew up 300 miles from here completely oblivious to this entire world.
After Force yelled at me for half an hour it became clear he would never approve of Titan and I having a relationship. He went on and on about guys in motorcycle clubs and how dangerous they are. Their only code was code of the road or some shit like that. MC members put the club before anything and anyone. He went on and on about ride or die.
Titan was different. I didn’t believe for one second that Titan completely lived for the club. I could see it in his eyes, he had hopes and dreams. He had something to live for, he had me.
“Lacie? Where are you?” I heard Beverly call from the main room.
“I was grounded to my room by the all mighty Force.” I whined as she came into view.
“We got grounded too. Wolf called and said to get to the club house in case there was fall out from you laying out the spa whore.” She laughed and I heard Karly yelling at Vinny for telling on us.
“Sorry ladies. I didn’t realize we would get in trouble. Last time I check we were grown ass women, but what do I know.” I threw up my hands in defeat.
“In their defense if she would have hit one of us our guys would be over there kicking some ass.” Beverly said as she left my room.
She was right and I hated myself for it. I was acting like a little bitch when I should be grateful I had so many people watching out for me.

Force
“I called in a favor with the Chiefs, they are going to watch the compound and the girls till we get back.” Logan said as he handed me a bottle of whiskey.
“Good, I’ve got enough to worry about. We need to make the drop tomorrow and get back to the compound before the Hellfires realize we aren’t there.” I took a huge swig hoping it would calm my nerves.
“Prez maybe a couple of us should head back. It’s only a few hours till the drop and y’all won’t miss two of us.” Titan was really starting to get on my nerves.
“Titan once again I hear you trying to run my club. Logan just said the Chiefs are looking in on them. They will be fine for a couple more days.” I took a drink and gave Logan the bottle back. “Beside if I was going to send anyone back early it sure as fuck wouldn’t be you.” I was a few inches shorter than Titan, but I was still in his face.
“Don’t think I don’t see the way you look at her. Or the way you swoop in and save the day when she is mad at me. She is off limits Titan.” I yelled the last part to make my point.
“She’s a grown ass woman who can make her own decisions. You can’t keep her locked up forever. And don’t give me that keeping her safe bullshit. If you wanted to keep her safe you should have left her in Oklahoma.” Titan wasn’t backing down and neither was I.
“Lacie is my problem and mine to worry about. You need to worry about this club and your brothers.”
“See Prez, that’s where you’re wrong. Lacie isn’t a problem and she sure as fuck doesn’t belong to you.” He barely got the words out before I punched him in the face.
Titan took a step back and collected himself before he threw his whole body into me knocking me back into a table. I put my leg up and my boot right into his middle. He stumbled just enough so I could get off the floor and back on my feet. I wasn’t standing long before he punched me in the side of the face. My eye was filling with blood and all I could see was a huge figure that I assumed was Titan so I just went to swinging.
The fight only lasted a few seconds before the boys broke us up. Titan spit out some blood and took off for the door. Logan sat me back in a chair and checked my eyes for a concussion. Out of all the guys to pick a fight with I would have to choose the biggest mother fucker in here.

Titan
Fighting with Force wasn’t smart, but damn did it feel good. I loved the man and I had respect for him, but Lacie is mine. Brother or not, no man will ever say she belongs to him. If anything happens to her before we get home I would hold him responsible.
“Damn Prez, you got quiet the shiner there.” One of the Diablo men said to Force as we walked up to meet them.
“Had a little disagreement with one of my men.” Force said as he extended his hand.
“Bitches or blow? That’s all my men fight over. So which was it, bitches or blow?”
“My sister.” Force said bluntly.
“Shit ESE, you never mess with a man’s sister.” The Diablo man held his throat suggesting in his culture you would get it slit for messing with a man’s family.
If Force knew half the things I’d done to his sister he would do more than slit my throat.
“Guns look good man. We appreciate you coming all this way for the delivery. Cash is all there, count it if you want.” The Diablo was waving his hands around directing his men in different directions.
“We’re good. I know where to find your boss if it’s short.” Force smiled and pulled him in for a half hug. “Sorry to cut this short, but we have a long ride.”
The Diablo men unloaded the guns and we loaded the bags of cash. They headed west and we headed straight south. I could care less about the money I just wanted to get back to Lacie. I wanted to bury my face in between her legs, lick, and suck until she didn’t’ know her own name.
Chapter 10
Lacie
I was thankful for the slow day. My mind had been thinking about the guys coming home and not on my patients. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I had surgeries today. Checking vitals was one thing, but cutting someone open while you are thinking about your angry brother is another.
It wasn’t just my angry brother I was also thinking about Titan and if we could really be together. He promised we would figure something out when he got back from the run. I wasn’t exactly sure what he was promising, but it sounded better than nothing at all.
Titan had text me a few times, but nothing about our relationship or lack thereof. They were mostly about sex and a few asking how my day was. I was happy to hear from him even if he did leave me hot and bothered.
The sun greeted me as I walked out of the hospital. Still high in the sky with just a small breeze. It was the perfect day for a ride. I couldn’t hide the smile on my face as I thought about being on the back of Titan’s bike with my legs wrapped around his waist.
“Lacie Perce?” A deep voice said from behind me.
I turned to see who it was, but as soon as I did I felt the needle enter my neck and everything went numb. Two massive arms caught me as I began to fall. I was screaming, but nothing was coming out. My eye lids got very heavy.
Pure darkness.

Titan
She should have been here by now. It’s getting dark and she isn’t answering my calls. The hospital said she left, but they don’t know when. It’s not like her to go shopping or even run errands after work. Something isn’t right. Where the fuck is she?
“Force, something is wrong. Lace isn’t home yet.” I busted through the doors to the meeting room not caring about what was going on in there.
“Have you called her phone or the hospital? Maybe she had an emergency surgery.” Force was angry that I was so concerned, but now was not the time for a pissing contest.
“No answer on her phone and the hospital said she left already.” I ran my hands down my face and beard trying to relax. “Force you can yell at me and try to kick my ass when we find her safe. Hell if we find her safe I will let you kick my ass, but I have a feeling something is wrong.”
Force jumped up and we were all practically running out the door of the clubhouse. “Let’s start at the hospital and go from there. Everyone keep your eyes out for her car. Vinny stay here in case she shows up. Call Bev and Karly, see if maybe she is with one of them.” Force’s voice was shaky, but no one questioned him.
Fuck the formation, Force and I were side by side the whole way. Each one pushing our machines harder and faster. Cars and people were like little moving lights that I barely saw out of the corner of my eyes. Nothing mattered except finding Lacie.
Force and I pulled up to the hospital and I waved the guys over to where her car was still parked. My stomach dropped and I thought I was going to throw up.
“She’s gone Force.” It was all I could say as I jumped off my bike and put the stand down.
“Okay before we freak out let’s call Vinny and see if he got ahold of the girls. Maybe one of them picked her up.” Wolf stepped in trying to calm the situation.
No one spoke and no one moved while Wolf was on the phone. Fuck I don’t even think I was breathing. I could only think about Lacie and if I never saw her again. I could tell by the look on Wolf’s face he didn’t have good news.
“No one has heard from her.” Wolf sighed.
“We need to get back to the compound. We are sitting ducks out here in the open.” Logan chimed in, but I didn’t care about what happened to us as long as we got her back.
“Logan is right, and Sam can track her phone if it’s still on.” Force said and motioned for us to get back on our bikes.
I didn’t wait on him to finish talking. I was on my bike and half a mile ahead of the rest of the club. If Force thought I was going to stand around and wait on orders he was dead wrong. She was mine and I would do whatever it took to get her back.
“Sara, this is Titan. Have you heard from Lacie today?” It was a long shot, but I had to try.
“I haven’t heard from her today. Why? What’s wrong Titan? Where is Lacie?” Shit now she was panicking.
“I don’t know Sara.” I was broken, but trying not to breakdown. “Sara I need you to listen to me. The number I called you from is my cell. If you hear from her you call me immediately.”
“I will, but Titan you have to let me know if something is wrong.” There were tears in her voice.
“I will let you know when we find her.” And I hung up. “Sara hasn’t heard from her.” I said to Force as he got off his bike.
“Sam get on your computer and see if you can track her. Prospects, go get her car. Everyone else get to church so we can figure this shit out.” Force was barking orders and I could tell he was just as afraid as I was.
“Her phone is off. The last place I tracked it to was the hospital 3 hours ago. Wh
oever has her knows what they are doing.” Sam was cut off by the sound of Force’s phone dinging.
“It’s a text from a blocked number. Looks like a video.” Force looked annoyed that someone was sending him shit right now.
Force we have something that belongs to you. Pretty thing isn’t she? It was Pagan’s voice followed by Lacie tied to a chair and she appeared to be unconscious. Don’t worry she’s alive, for now. I know you got a rather large shipment of guns lately. You bring me the shipment and I’ll release your sister. Oh and Force, don’t take too long. I can’t guarantee she will safe when she wakes up.
The video clicked off and I hit the door so hard it burst into splinters. Force threw a chair and the rest of the men cursed under their breaths. The Hellfires had no morals. They did what they wanted and they did it to whoever they wanted. I didn’t even want to think about what they might do to her.
“Is he talking about the guns we just sold to the Mexicans?” Tex asked.
“Yeah, he is. We don’t have any more guns in stock right now and we can’t get any for about two weeks. She will be dead by then.” Force said in defeat.

Lacie
Oh my fuck, my head was pounding and my mouth felt like sand paper. I willed my eyes to open, but they weren’t having it. My muscles are achy and I was having a hard time moving. Either I had the flu or this was a really bad dream.
I still couldn’t get my eyes open so I would have to rely on my other senses. I couldn’t move or feel anything so really I was just relying on smell. I could smell oil and tire rubber. Maybe I was in the clubhouse.
“Razor the bitch is coming too.” I heard the unfamiliar voice and everything started coming back to me.
I was walking to my car and someone called my name. When I turned around they shoved a needle in my neck with some kind of drug that made me pass out and then they kidnapped me. My eyes flung open and my other senses were coming back.
I was tied to a chair in some abandoned warehouse. Everything was still a little fuzzy, but I could make out three large figures walking towards me. As they came into view I recognize two of them from the encounter at the spa.
