“Fuck,” half the guys muttered and grabbed their crotches.
Drake snorted. Serenity wasn’t as bad as Artemis, and Ace slept with her nightly. He sent Ace a glare to order him to back Serenity up. Ace shook his head, and Drake glowered.
“Sorry, Drake. Serenity learnt the hard way on the street. That wounded child comes out sometimes. Just like Kayleigh does when Artemis goes schizo. Artemis will forever deny it, but a little part of Kayleigh exists inside her. In fact, I think that Kayleigh is the monster. The remains of that sweet girl after those fuckers had finished with her. Kayleigh twisted into that raging beast that Artemis lets out occasionally,” Ace said.
Drake nodded thoughtfully. That made sense. Street Serenity certainly had issues with men. Drake knew nobody touched her once Carmine and Tye found her. But beforehand? Serenity never discussed it. And the way she loved to clearly chop guys up and slice their cocks off, informed Drake Serenity had undergone some sort of sexual assault. Maybe even full-on rape. But he’d never press her. As her father, he had to be Serenity’s safe place. If she felt she couldn’t come to him, she’d be isolated. So no, Drake would never pry unless she spoke to him in confidence.
“Pity the man she marries,” Hunter muttered.
“Well, he won’t fuckin’ cheat on her and walk away,” Mac added.
“Nope, we don’t need to worry about beating his ass. We just gotta worry about the clean up and removing the bodies.” Gunner grinned.
“Yo, got a call. Want some help?” Dylan Hawthorne asked, entering the clearing.
“Yeah, need clean up,” Drake said, stepping forward and clasping arms with him.
“Fine with that. Don’t fuckin’ ask me to clear up what’s back there. Whichever one of you let your inner Hannibal Lector out to play, I don’t wanna know either. Let’s get this shit done. Davis and Max will transport the bodies to the crematorium and get rid of them. Bought that in time, didn’t ya, dude?” Dylan said.
“A little birdie might have told me we needed something,” Drake admitted.
“Aurora Victoria!” Davies exclaimed.
“Maybe,” Drake smirked.
“Let’s get this cleared up. Who’s the guy who’s working nights?” Dylan asked.
“Savage, he prefers them. He’s going to be manning the crem between seven at night and four in the morning. Then he’ll do prospect duties from two in the afternoon,” Drake replied.
“Huh, didn’t see that coming,” Ace muttered.
“What about his role in the garage?” Texas inquired.
“He’ll do a couple of days a week in there. But he’s happy to man the crematorium while this shit is going down,” Drake responded with a frown.
“Fine. How many bodies we got to shift?” Dylan asked.
Drake did the math. Liz had told him that forty-five guys had attacked the Hall. The old ladies and Serenity had accounted for thirty-one of them. We’d taken out forty-five at Rage. That meant Fury was nearly another one hundred men down. How could Fury keep throwing this many men away? It didn’t make sense. Nearly two hundred guys were dead, and Fury still kept coming. Surely, he didn’t have unlimited sources?
“Ghost, were you sure of those figures?” Drake asked as Ghost limped towards them.
“Two hundred and fifty men, roughly, is what I was told. I now know different,” Ghost replied. He’d not been present at the clubhouse for the attack, as he’d been speaking with an informant.
“What ya mean?” Drake asked, concerned at the tone of Ghost’s voice.
“These four chapters were ones that fucked Fury off. They were in his bad books. He gave them an ultimatum. Either they took out Rage and the old ladies, or Fury would gut them himself. They chose this shit,” Ghost stated.
“How many chapters does he have? How many men?” Drake demanded.
“The main chapters have four hundred men in them approximately. The smaller ones have around one hundred and fifty men. They average twenty to thirty brothers per chapter,” Ghost replied. “Some of these dead assholes were clubs Fury forced takeovers of. Shit’s bad, brother.”
“Motherfucker. So all we’ve done is take out his trash?” Drake asked.
Ghost nodded.
“I didn’t realise. Yeah, I knew they were prevalent in Florida, but new info is the Venomous Fangs literally own it. They are rampant throughout the state. Fuck, even as high as I got, I was still ignorant.”
“Your informant. Is he safe? How’d he get so high?” Drake demanded.
