guard two people in one safe house, if they rotate and work in shifts of two or three?” Curtis demanded. “Actually, it’s six people, counting you. I don’t see the need to involve Foreman’s people at all, let alone me and Luke.”
    “No shifts,” King said. “My people stay in place. No coming or going done by anyone but you and Foreman’s people, and I’m not going anywhere near the safe house.”
    “You think you’re all going to be followed because the MC knows that King’s Men were involved,” Aidan said. “So you think that you are going to be followed.”
    “Yeah,” King confirmed. “Everyone’s in place already, and nobody’s leaving until it’s OK to do so. And I won’t lead those fucking MC animals to a place where I’m trying to keep people alive.”
    “OK, fine,” Mac said. “But I still don’t get it. If you have five people already in place for one safe house, why do you need more? I’m no gun-toting, special-ops type, but I can count, and it seems to me that’s plenty.”
    King hesitated. “Because… because there’s going to be a second safe house full of people which needs guarding, so I’m splitting my team and I need more support.”
    “Who?” Jax said. “Who else needs to hide?”
    “The women,” King said, looking uncharacteristically abashed. “I’m sorry, guys.”
    “Which women?” Mac snapped. “You break up a sex-trafficking ring?”
    “No.” King cleared his throat. “ The women. Our women.”
    Everyone froze. It was like to a man, they’d stopped breathing and turned to stone.
    Aidan recovered first. “ Our women?”
    He wasn’t shouting; his voice was barely above a whisper, but King almost flinched at the rage and disbelief in it.
    “Yes,” King said. “Naomi, Gabi, Sarah, Mirrie… they all have to hide.” He met Dillon’s furious gaze. “And you should ask Maria to stay up at Open Skies Ranch for a while, Saunders. I know that they’ve really beefed up their security since you and Maria were shot at there. I think she’d be safer away from Denver.”
    “No fucking way ,” Dillon barked. “Maria stays here, close to me. Non-negotiable, so don’t ask again, or I’ll break your goddamn face , Kingston.”
    King nodded, accepting that without protest. He’d do the same; in fact, he was doing the same. “So she’ll join the other ladies in the second safe house.”
    “Goddammit, King,” Jax said now. “I can see why Mirrie needs to hide, alright? I get that the MC has been gunning for her since she walked away all those years ago. I get that they might want to take out Gabi, too, since she did witness that murder and escaped death once.” He shot Mac and Aidan apologetic looks. “Sorry guys.”
    “No, you’re not wrong,” Mac said, his voice hollow. “Mirrie’s always said that she knows that her Dad and Joker are still dreaming up ways to hurt her. This is the perfect climate to do maximum collateral damage.”
    “And I’ve always known that Gabriela’s safety was tenuous,” Aidan admitted. “We had Ace’s word that she’d be off-limits… but anybody else in the MC was a big question mark. If Ace is gone as Prez, then she’s fair game now.”
    “Right,” Jax said, his voice rising. “But what the hell have you gotten Sarah into, King? She has fucking nothing to do with this. ”
    “OK, look.” King held up his hands. “You’re right, Jax… she doesn’t.”
    “So who –” Jax stopped. “Me. This is about me, isn’t it?”
    “They hate you,” King said. “You beat the shit out of them that night here at Curves, and you kicked the MC out of this place. They’ve been looking for ways to get back at you, Jax, and if they’re running wild and settling scores, why not get to you through your fiancée?”
    “Fuck,” Jax said, running his hands through his dark hair. “Just – fuck .”
    “And that’s why Naomi’s hiding too, isn’t it?” Mac said to King. “Because of you .”
    “Yeah.” King
