Healing Gabe (The Last Hangman MC #3)(47)

I park in front of the compound and walk straight to the Chapel and see Sanders, Ric, Ray, their sergeants at arms and VP, Ant and Aleck already seated. “I’m not late again am I?”

“No.” Ant chuckles.

“Good. Had to make sure Bennett and Ryan knew what would happen if anything happened to any of our women.”

“Good Brother. Scare them a little.” Aleck smirks evilly.

“Gotta keep them in check.” I chuckle.

“Gotta ask you, Brother. Who were you talking to last night on the phone?” Ant asks me, any trace of humour long gone.

“Jared.” I sigh rubbing my face.

“What happened?”

“Viv, Line and Nic were out with Bennett, bar hunting for Viv. Jared was there wanting to buy the same f*cking place and he threatened them. Bennett kicked his ass. It’s definitely the Kings who are the ones behind everything, including the threats to your woman, Sanders. I don’t know exactly what he’s playing at, but I do know that he wants to take us down and keep our women for himself.”

“That sick motherf*cking piece of shit!” Sanders yells. “I’m going to get some of my men to keep an eye on all of them too. I don’t want to risk anything.”

“Thanks, man, appreciate it,” Ant says.

“Not doing it for you, Ant. Doing it for them, they’ve all been through enough shit as it is.” He sighs and steps out to call his men I’m guessing.

“Are you and Viv good?” Aleck asks me.

“What do you mean?” I look at him confused.

“When you left her this morning, were you good?”

“Yeah, why?”

“You sure?” He raises his eyebrow at me.

“We talked this morning and she didn’t like it but we were good when I left. Why?”

“I don’t know Jared, but I’m guessing since he targeted them yesterday, he’s not going to wait forever before he attacks. Better be safe than sorry. Make sure you’re really good with her before any shit goes down.” Aleck looks at me intently and I nod, not sure what to do.

“Shoot her a text if you’re so scared of calling her. Things are going to turn to shit, Aleck is right, you need to make sure you’re good in case something happens,” Ant says, his voice full of emotion, clearly scared of what might happen.

Me: Sorry about this morning. Knowing that you love me and fell in love with me is beyond anything I ever expected to happen to me. We’ll talk when I see you later. I promise. Xxx

I don’t have to wait long before she replies.

Viv: Good to know you can apologize when you are in the wrong :p can’t wait to see you later and sorry for nagging. I just couldn’t hold my feelings in any longer.

Me: Don’t worry about it. I don’t want us to fight, the makeup sex is good but fighting is exhausting.

Viv: We can jump into angry sex any time as long as it turns out like last night, I’m all for it.

Me: My type of woman…

Viv: Only one I hope…

Me: My woman…

Viv: My man…

Me: I like the sound of that. Gotta get back into our meeting, will chat to you later. We good?

Viv: Alright, Handsome. Yes we are. Talk later <3

“Looks like you two are good?” Aleck chuckles.

“Yes we are.” I smile.

“Good, now we can get back to business.” Ric says, mocking me. I glare at him and they all chuckle. I chuckle too, realizing I am * whipped.

“Two of my men are going over to Aleck’s place to help Bennett and Ryan. You can’t be too careful. We need to come up with a plan of attack to take them down and fast.” Sanders says coming back into the room.

“What do you suggest?” Ric says, taunting Sanders.

“Good question, Ric.” Sanders looks at him smirking, not intimidated in the slightest. He has balls to stand up to Ric.

“Is the answer going to be as good though?” Ric raises his eyebrow, crossing his arms over his chest.

“You tell me. We have the upper hand even if they outnumber us. We-”

“How can we have the upper hand if they outnumber us? That makes no sense,” Ric says getting agitated.

“If you’d let me finish that’d be great, thanks.” He says sarcastically. “As I was saying, we have a man on the inside. He’s our eyes and ears on all things Kings and he’s given me invaluable information. Jared is planning to take our women today. I don’t know exactly when, but I took it upon myself to have my men move them, including Bennett and Ryan, into a motel so they are safe. They are just out of town and hopefully they won’t find them. Now, the only way for us to take them down is to strike when they least expect it. Most of the club is at their compound, most likely planning on how to take us down so we should strike today, as soon as we can. All three clubs and myself want them gone and for good, along with the local cops so why wait? They certainly won’t be missed.”

“So, we should just go there and end them all, a massive shoot off?” Ric asks perplexed.

“Yes. Fast, easy and if we do this right, none of us will get hurt,” Sanders says gauging Ric’s reaction.

“Here I thought you were going to come up with some crazy ass elaborate plan. I actually approve of this plan. Not in the rules, but the rules don’t apply anymore to them.” Ric shocks us all into silence.
