Lidia laughed and then reached out. “I’ve missed this, so much.”
She held onto her friend’s hand. “Me too.”
“Let’s not allow any dick to come between us.”
Aria couldn’t help but laugh. “Deal.”
“Megadeal.” Lidia winked at her.
“So, Sean, huh, how did he take it?”

Dylan didn’t allow him to have a phone call. Grant sat in his prison cell, pissed off. What the fuck was going on? Bull was always there to bail him out whenever he’d gotten caught up in a bar fight or anything that landed him in a cell. This time, his brother was the one to put his ass here.
He rubbed at his temples. He’d not been able to call Aria, which pissed him off. The silence was driving him crazy. He got to his feet and walked around the small cell.
Grant was just about to grab the bars of the cell and start to yell when the main door opened. Dylan didn’t come through but a man in a hood and when he pulled it down, he saw Bull standing on the opposite side of the bar.
“You’ve got about ten minutes,” Dylan said.
The door closed, leaving him alone with his brother.
“I need you to shut the fuck up and I need you to trust me,” Bull said.
It was on the tip of his tongue to complain and make his brother’s life difficult, but instead he opted for silence. There was no point in pissing Bull off any more than necessary.
“There’s been Cartel movement. They’ve requested our presence less and less and William Ranford has the feds on his ass. Drugs were smuggled into one of his bars and just at the right moment, the cops showed up. He’s been busted, but so far, he’s got a good lawyer, but we both believe this is blowback from taking out Julio and the current leader of the Vito Crew Cartel. I had a package delivered to me a month ago. It had every single image of you in the past six weeks. You’re a target, Grant. You are under the protection of the club, but I need them to look away from you.”
“You can’t do that.”
“Shut your fucking mouth and let me speak. The Cartel in the past week have gone quiet. The dogs down south have been taken, as well as the two we’ve recovered. We believe someone is in operation and testing our borders. Testing our ability to protect. Ranford has had no choice but to go into hiding. There was an attempt on his life. I don’t know where he is or what he’s doing, but he gave me a clear warning—protect who I hold dear. I know you won’t allow me to put you in the clubhouse. Maddie is currently living in the clubhouse, surrounded by our men. I need people to see you as useless to me, Grant. That’s why Pat is wearing the VP patch. Your life is in danger, but I can lessen the threat by showing them you mean nothing.”
“For fuck’s sake, Bull. This shit didn’t work the last time. They still figured out you were in love with Maddie.”
“You’re not my woman, Grant. You’re my pain in the ass brother.”
“And they know you won’t throw me to the curb,” Grant said. “That’s what this is all about? Protecting me? What the fuck is this? I’m not a child.”
“You are still my brother.”
“And have you ever considered that I might be able to protect myself? Someone was able to get into the shelter, Bull. They knew how we worked, which is why they were able to take the dogs. You know what that means.”
Bull frowned.
“Someone was able to get past Hellen. It’s someone close.”
“No one new is around.”
“Then someone is feeding this information to the enemy, Bull. You as well as I know that it’s hard to infiltrate the club. Someone is.”
Bull ran a finger across his lips. “Or someone who knows how we run things.”
Grant looked toward the door. “Dylan?”
“No, he wouldn’t do that. He loves this town too much.”
“Look, I don’t know who it is but what I do know is this shit isn’t good, Bull. You can’t kick me out now.”
