involved?”
“Then Godspeed to you.”
“I’ll think about it,” I finally said.
“That’s fine. But don’t take too long. This is a limited-time offer.”
“I understand,” I said before I punched the button to kill the call.
Chapter 6
I spent the rest of the afternoon sitting around the clubhouse, talking with whoever happened to be around at the time. I was torn. My opinion of the men and women of the Hellhounds hadn’t really changed. Only a few were even around when my parents were killed, and none of them were this Kendrell. But by the same token, they were still members of a club that had probably killed my family. I couldn’t look past that.
When Cain reappeared, he was jubilant, pulling me to my feet and spinning me around before kissing me lustily. “It’s set! It goes down Friday, and all the other clubs are on board. They are going to back us up and provide us with eyes and ears. The Bulls are totally fucked, and they don’t even know it yet!”
“Why are they helping you?”
“The Triple-Ds and Cuernos del Diablos see it as elimination of a competitor, so they are all in on that. They agreed to let any of the Bulls’ women walk without interference. The Shades and the Bulls have been butting heads over territory for the last couple of years, and the Creepers want in because they don’t want to be seen as weak by sitting this one out.”
“That’s all the clubs?”
“All the players. There are a bunch of in-law clubs that mind their own business, and we mind ours. They don’t really have a dog in this hunt.”
I looked at him. Day after tomorrow and this will all be over, but it didn’t resolve the issues with my parents. “Take me home, please.”
“You don’t want to stay? The old ladies and the girls are going to be here a little later. There is going to be some drinking and some fighting, and probably some fucking…and maybe all three at the same time.” he said with a big grin.
I smiled slightly as I looked at my shoes. “No. You can come back later if you want.”
His face became serious. “Are you okay?”
His tone made me look up and I could see the concern in his eyes. “I’m fine. I just want to be alone with you.” I could see he was torn. “It will be okay if you want to come back.”
“Thad! I’m taking Alex home. She isn’t feeling well,” he said.
“I’m sorry to hear that,” Thad said, looking at me as he walked over. “You’re going to miss all the fun.”
“I’m sorry. I told Cain he could come back.”
Thad shook his head. “No. His place is with you. If you get to feeling better, come on back. Otherwise, don’t worry about it.” He looked at Cain. “Take care of her. If she needs anything, call.”
“I will. Come on. Are you sure you’re okay?”
“Yes. Just take me home, okay?”

It was still early, barely four o’clock when we arrived at Cain’s apartment. I hadn’t been able to keep my hands off of him in the truck, holding his hand as we rode along in silence. He tried to draw me out, but I just shook my head as I stared out of the side window at the passing buildings.
“Why don’t you go back to the party for a while?” I asked. I had decided that I was leaving. I wasn’t going to turn on the Hellhounds, but I couldn’t stay. If he left, I would be gone when he got back.
“Nope. Can’t do it,” he said with a grin and squeeze of my hand. “I have to be around to take care of my girls.”
I smiled. He used that phrase a lot. “How do you know it’s a girl?”
“You told me, remember? Back when you were bitching at me about getting killed or going to jail, and leaving ‘her’ alone.”
“That was just a choice of words. I don’t know if it’s a girl.”
“It’s a girl. Trust me. I would like to have a little girl and I always get what I want. I finally got you
