Teaching Aleck (The Last Hangman MC #2)(40)

I hope things will stay the way they are with no one trying to mess with any of us again, but I doubt it’ll be that easy.





CHAPTER 16



Aleck

I had such a great afternoon with my little Pumpkin and I didn’t think anything could spoil my good mood. That was until Ant called me and to tell me he needed to talk to me. He knows not to call me about club business when I’m spending time with Ally, unless it’s really important.

I drop her off next door at Rose’s place, and drive to the compound. I greet the guys and walk to the chapel.

“What’s up? You wanted to see me?” Ant’s sitting at the head of the table looking at a piece of paper on the table.

“Sit.”

“Okay?” I sit down, not sure what all of this is about.

He slips the piece of paper over to me. “What’s this?”

“It was under Char’s wiper, in the parking lot of the school.”

“What?” I yell.

“Calm down, Brother.”

“How the f*ck do you expect me to calm down when someone leaves this on her car?”

“I know. That’s not all.” He sighs and slides a small bag.

“A tracker?”

“Someone has been following her, and apparently has been keeping track of her every move. Besides Blades, who can’t hurt her anymore obviously, who could be after her? I doubt his two minions would do that kind of thing as they just wanted to fit in with the club. Ray wouldn’t do this to us, he knows better. Who does that leave?”

“Her boyfriend? He’s f*cking weird being all perfect and shit.”

“You’re just being a jealous prick.” He chuckles.

“Yes, I am, but seriously, he just seems too f*cking perfect. Something about him doesn’t seem right.”

“I’ll have someone look into him. She’s the sweetest girl ever, she’s never hurt anyone so I don’t see why someone might be after her. Maybe it’s just someone at school who wants to prank her because she’s new, but I highly doubt it. Honestly, I’m convinced this is club related, I mean she’s been seen with us more than once. We should have figured someone would be after her, sooner rather than later.”

“What about what Blades said before we ended him? That alive or dead, it wouldn’t be over? He seemed to know something, but what? Ray didn’t seem to be aware of anything, nor Blades’ minions.”

“You’ve got a good point, Aleck. We need to look into everything and ask Charline.”

I nod. “I’ll go talk to her. I know they scared her the day of Cabe’s BBQ, but I don’t know if there’s been anything else ever since, well, besides the accident. It’s weird though. I’ve been leaving her notes and now someone is copying me and leaves a note on her car. They aren’t the same kind, but still, don’t you find it weird that she gets them now? We’re really going to have to be careful with how we approach this.”

“You’ve been leaving her notes, huh?” He tries not to laugh, I want to kick his sorry ass.

“Shut up.” I groan.

“It’s sweet! Ayd and I do it too.”

I look up. “Do you really or are you just taking the piss?”

He takes out his wallet and pulls out a pile of notes. “We really do.” He smiles and puts them back. “Don’t worry, she’ll be okay, we’ll all make sure of that. Things might be rough for a while until we figure out who did it, but she’ll be protected at all times.”

“Who’s with her right now?”

“Bennett.”

I nod, not fully happy with the choice of bodyguard. I’d rather be the one keeping an eye on her, I don’t trust anyone else to protect her like I can. “I’ll go over there and make sure she’s okay. I promised Rose I’d be back before Ally’s bedtime.”

“Go then. Go take care of your woman.” He smirks.

“Not yet.”

He scoffs. “Fuck off, she’s been yours for years, you were just too f*cking stubborn to realize it. I’m glad you’re finally pulling your head out of your ass.”

“Fuck you.” I chuckle and head to my car.

I can’t believe someone would scare Charline and track her every move. I need to make sure she’s okay.

I park a few houses away from her house and walk over to Bennett.

“Is she home? There’s no light.”

“I think she’s watching TV upstairs. That's where she was the last time I was inside.”

“And what were you doing inside?” I’m about to lose my cool.

“Calm down, Brother, I needed to take a piss.” He chuckles.

“Fair enough. Go keep Ayd company while I talk to Charline.”

“Amazing idea, she made cookies and was tempting me with the tray through the window, evil witch!” We both laugh and I walk to the door and knock.

I wait for a minute and no one answers. I knock again, but still no answer. Where the hell is she?? I grab the key I had made, yes, I’m as pathetic as Ant, but you can’t be too careful, and let myself in. I disarm the alarm and rearm it before walking around downstairs quietly. Checking everything is normal. So far, so good.
