“Cop is here, Linc,” Nova whispered.
Linc turned his head. “You’ve got to be kidding me. Right now?”
The police officer stood right at the table and leaned down a little. “Make a scene and I’ll embarrass you, Lincoln. Stand up and put your hands behind your back and it stays quiet.”
“You’re arresting him?” Nova asked. “For what?”
“Who the hell are you, sweetheart? His lawyer?”
“Don’t talk to her like that, asshole,” Linc said as he stood up.
He towered over the police officer. Linc flexed his jaw, turned around and put his hands behind his back. Nova couldn’t believe her eyes. She figured this must have been because of Linc beating up that homeless looking man in broad daylight.
“Do you know where the clubhouse is, darling?” Linc asked.
Nova nodded. She remembered.
“Go there and ask for Slade. Tell him who you are and that I sent you. And then wait for me.”
The police officer pulled at Linc’s wrists and then guided the way out of the diner. Nova sat there with her jaw almost ready to hit the table. She had visions in her head of the outlaw life… but this…
Nell came over to the table. “You okay?”
“Not really,” Nova whispered. “Can I have the check?”
“Oh, sweetie, SOFRAW doesn’t pay when they come here. Ever.”
Nell smiled and walked away. Beating up a junkie. Getting arrested. Not paying restaurant tabs.
All of this in the span of a quick breakfast. Which led to an intense question in Nova’s mind.
Just how far, deep and dangerous would she be willing to go with Linc…?
Chapter Seven
The Outlaw’s Nest
Nova drove by the clubhouse not once. Not twice. Three times.
Each time she drove by the old looking building, with the faded large sign of a guy with a beer belly, a big smile, holding a wrench in the air like he’d just won an award, she thought back to all those times Linc would sneak her over here. Sometimes they’d stand at the gate and he’d tell her this would all be his. Sometimes they snuck past the gate and climbed up on the roof of the building and would kiss like crazy.
The fourth time Nova drove down the street, she made the turn. Her SUV went up over and the little bump taking her from the safe road to the outlaw path. She stopped at the gate. It did not open right away.
“Crap,” she whispered.
Now what?
Nova wondered if this was a sign. The Universe telling her to get the hell out of there. To just go back home and call the police. If Nick was in some kind of trouble, then so be it. Maybe getting arrested and getting into real trouble would smarten him up. Nova put her SUV into reverse and looked in the mirror. She let out a quick scream.
A biker was behind her SUV with a gun drawn.
Panic ripped through Nova’s chest. Her vision blurred. Her mouth went dry. When she heard someone tap at her window, she screamed again.
“Why don’t you put that window down, sugar?”
Nova nodded at the gangly looking biker at her window. Her eyes checked the mirror. The other biker was still there.
With a shaking hand, Nova hit the button and the window slowly descended.
