“She has the hots for Puck, wants him bad. She would do anything to have him. And Bricks told her that she would.”
I lift my eyebrow in surprise. “I’ve always thought Puck was smarter than that. He is a nut, but not a stupid one.”
“Nobody says she will succeed. The only reason Puck and Sully are still alive is because of Wrecker. Bricks doesn’t trust them, and they know it. Once Wrecker gets eliminated, they’re next.”
“Where does Ruby Santiago fit into all of this?”
Because I don’t get it. It would be much easier for us to go after this Lala character.
“Ruby has been conditioned by Lala to believe that the Savages are the ones doing everything that we are accusing the Lizards of doing.”
“The sex trafficking?” I ask for confirmation, and he nods. “Who cares what she thinks?”
Prez sighs. “It’s not about that. Your job is to trickle fake information to her. She will share it with Lala, who, in turn, will share it with Bricks.”
“We don’t have much time.”
Prez watches me carefully. We both know all that’s riding on this mission. To take the Steel Lizards MC out will open a lot of doors for us. Not to mention that having Devereaux’s backing is worth its weight in gold.
“A ten mil advance hit the books this morning.”
His voice is cool when he speaks. It is, after all, just a money transaction. Between the bonus money Devereaux promised us and all the contracts we will pick up once the Lizards are out of the picture, we are going to be set for fucking life.
“I want a cut of that,” I now tell my president. His eyebrow raises in amusement. He’s not surprised by my request.
“We all get a cut of that.” He smirks at me knowingly.
“I want double for having to do all the heavy lifting.”
My jaw clenches from the tension when he takes his time giving me an answer.
“We are no Lizards.” His tone is unforgiving when he speaks. “You implying that you would not be compensated appropriately for doing this for the club does not bode well for you, Hawk.”
“I did not imply anything, Prez,” I argue back. “You know why I’m asking this.”
My mother was diagnosed with dementia five years ago. I found her the best care money could buy. While the club takes good care of me, most of the money has to go toward the fees for the facility she is in. It wouldn’t hurt for me to have some extra to build a cushion.
“It will go up for vote at the next church meeting. I want a full update on where you are with the stripper on the day before.”
With that, our impromptu meeting is over. We both stand up, and I follow him back out into the common room. As soon as I step foot in it, the loud music hits me once again. I don’t know what the fuck is going on with me, but all of a sudden, I can’t stand it.
Ignoring the club girls vying for my attention, I keep on walking until I hit the courtyard in the back. I find an empty picnic table and sit on it, resting my feet on the bench.
I pat my chest pocket for the pack of cigarettes I always keep there before remembering that I decided to quit.
“Ah, fuck!”
Looking around, I spot a couple of prospects standing by the bikes parked to the side.
“Prospect!” My voice booms across the yard. “Come here!”
One of them rushes to do my biding. He runs over, staring at me with wide eyes when he gets close enough.
“Cigarette,” I bark at him.
He scrambles to look for his pack, drops it once before it is flying out of his hand when he tries to hand it over to me. I snatch it away from him along with the lighter he has in his other hand.
“Get the fuck out of here,” I say as soon as I secured the precious items.
