“Prez, I’ve got this,” Linc said.
Cyrus turned and walked away.
“Who pissed in his beer?” Chief Dick asked.
“Doesn’t matter,” Linc said. “I need a favor.”
“Of course you do.”
“Listen to me, Dick. We’re up against something right now. There’s no time for chitchat.”
“How bad is it?”
“Doesn’t concern you.”
“You said you needed a favor.”
“I need you to help someone out,” Linc said. “Her name is Gail Vida. She’s over on Brendawood. Shitty looking house. She’s going through some shit. Bad shit. There’s got to be help for her. Programs or something. Get her some real food. Help her with her utilities. And her bills.”
“What the hell do I look like, Linc?”
“Like the guy who owes me a fucking favor.”
Chief Dick reluctantly nodded. “What’s her deal?”
“She’s an alcoholic. She’s a lifer to the bottle. That won’t change. Hook her up, Dick. Get the grass cut. Clean the gutters. Make the house look nice.”
“You’re asking for a lot here.”
“No, I’m not. I’m asking you push some paperwork to the top of the pile. That’s all. And not even you. You’ll have some secretary do it. Call up the fucking mayor if you have to. He’ll love the publicity. Tell Gail she won a contest or something. I don’t give a shit what you do, Dick. Just make it happen.”
“Who is she? The club owe her a favor? She have dirt on anyone?”
“Nothing like that. Nothing to worry about. Get it done for me, Dick.”
Linc patted the chief’s back.
As Linc walked away, Chief Dick called out, “I guess I’ll just leave then. Thanks for offering me a beer!”
Linc didn’t look back. Or even wave. He went back into the clubhouse only to find Cyrus, Priest, Slade, Darrow, and Fitz ready to go.
“We’re on the move,” Darrow said as he playfully punched at Linc’s good shoulder. “I know right where Nova’s brother is.”
Linc hurried forward, through the clubhouse. He almost ran right into Nova in the hallway as she stared at him, her eyes big, beautiful, and scared.
Linc touched her face. “Darrow says he knows where Nick is. We’re going to get him right now.”
Nova nodded. “I’m just…”
“I know, darling. I know.”
Linc lowered his mouth down to Nova’s. They kissed, but not for long.
Linc had to go be an outlaw.
