Forgiving Nancy (Last Hangman MC, #5)(54)



“You don’t understand, these people are really dangerous,” she says with hitched breaths.

“I know. Our main concern right now is getting you somewhere safe.”

“Where are we going?” She asks and she looks terrified.

“You’ll see. You following us?” I ask Ryan.

“Of course.” He grabs Nancy’s bag and we all walk out of the house. I lock up and turn on the alarm before helping Nancy with her helmet. As soon as she’s safely on the back of my bike I peel out of my driveway with Ryan right on our tail.

Since our women have been the targets so many times, we put a contingency plan into place. After Nicole was targeted, we found a safe house just outside town in case something like this happened again. We hoped that we wouldn’t have to use it, but life never goes the way you want it to.

Despite the circumstances, it feels so good to have Nancy on the back of my bike with her arms wrapped around me. It takes me about thirty minutes to get to our safe location after taking a very long and indirect route so we could make sure we lost any tails we might have picked up. We stagger our arrivals at the safe house in a particular order so we wouldn’t draw attention to the location. A load of bikers turning up at the same place all at the same time would look suspicious. If anyone is late, we are to try and locate them as soon as possible.

The house doesn’t look much from the outside but it’s equipped with the latest security system and technology. I guess we made the right decision buying this place after all.

I park in the underground garage and help Nancy off the bike as Ryan pulls up next to me.

“What is this place? A bunker?” She looks around as if the garage is going to answer her.

“Sorta. We bought it when all the f*ckers who were after us at the time were pussies and targeted the girls instead of us.” I remove her helmet and we take the stairs to the main level of the house and find Ant and Gabe sitting at the kitchen table with Viv and Ayden on the couches. The girls hug each other and they all sit back on one of the couches while Ryan and I join Ant and Gabe.

“Aleck and Jase are on their way, Callum picked up the girls’ stuff and he’s on his way after dropping the kids off at Cabe’s,” Ant informs, looking deep in thoughts.

“What’s on your mind?” I ask.

“We need to talk to Nancy.” He sighs.

“What about?” I’m so confused at this point.

“She was stuck there for a long time and was let out to visit clients. She knows the location as well as the layout of the place, we need her help. We just want the f*ckers who hurt her, we don’t want to blow up the whole place and hurt innocent people,” Ant says with a serious tone. “And as much as I hate to admit it, we don’t want to start a war with another MC, we’re still recovering from the last one.”

“Fuck.” I rub my face.

“I know, think she’d be okay with it?” Gabe asks.

“Maybe you should ask me straight away instead of thinking that I can’t hear you from two meters away,” Nancy says which immediately shuts Ant up and makes us all chuckle.

“Will you talk to us about it?” Gabe asks her.

“Anything to take that f*cker down.” She glances my way and then back to Ant who knows exactly who she’s talking about. Motherf*cking secrets.

We wait for the others to arrive before Nancy tells everyone what she knows. I already know what she’s going to say, I hated it the first time and I’ll probably hate it even more hearing it a second time.

We all sit down around the table, Nancy sits in my lap and the other girls’ follow suit with their men. I’m not sure if it’s a good idea for the women to hear this, but it might bring Nancy some comfort having her girlfriends with her.

“Don’t feel like you have to tell us everything, just what you feel comfortable with and what could be useful,” Ant states in a soothing voice.

“Okay.” She takes in a deep breath and starts. “The place has kind of the same set up as your compound, just a lot bigger. There are three entrances on the ground level. The main one leads directly into the Chapel, the back one leads to a different hallway than the main one they use and is the one that leads to the girls rooms. And finally the front looks like a normal house door and is the one we mainly used. They have a good security system and a guard on every of door. I don’t know any of the codes though; they made sure we couldn’t see them when they let us in and out.

“Your best bet would be to go through the back; it’s rare that they have someone guarding that door. Well, I’ve never seen anyone watch that door anyway. You need to go that way if you want to free the other girls. There’s a staircase leading up to the floor with our rooms and there are usually two guards watching the entire hallway so you should be able to take them out quite quickly. Just mention that you know Violet to the girls and they should go with you, at least the ones who want something better.

“When you use the back entrance, you have the two main hallways in front of you. The second doorway on your left is the Chapel and that’s where you’ll most likely find him trying to sell his girls to the highest bidder for the night. He’s the one who takes care of it all; he doesn’t trust anyone with his money or ‘his’ girls. To your right there will be another room where the club members and their club whores hang out. If I were you I’d get all of your men in on this one with half of them coming in from the back and the other half from the front. Don’t go straight to the Chapel or you’ll be trapped inside and he is ruthless, he won’t go down without a fight and I don’t want anyone getting hurt because of me.” Her voice had been scarily void of emotion until that last part. If I could I’d go there right now and shoot that motherf*cker then I’d already be there.
