the sound of it.”
“Let me tell you something – obviously, you can be a one-percenter and not be a degenerate. That’s the problem with those fuckers. They have no integrity and play dirty with other clubs. They’re nothing but pieces of shit and I hope that eventually, they’ll just fade away all together.”
“There aren’t too many chapters left,” I replied. “Maybe three?”
“That’s what I heard too. Anyway, their time is coming. After this, maybe even faster than we think.”
I nodded.
Tank looked at his watch. “You should get down to the station soon. I have a feeling you’re going to be there for a while.”
“What about church?” I said, checking the time.
“Looks like you’re going to miss it. There’s always next week.”
“Why was I invited?” I asked bluntly.
“What do you mean?”
“I’m a Prospect. Normally we’re not asked to be there for the weekly ones.”
He smiled. “Honestly, I wanted you to go over what you knew about the Devil’s Rangers. Not just who’s who, but what kind of deals they were working on and who they might have double-crossed lately.”
I nodded. “Sure. I can do that. They’ve made enemies, that’s for sure.”
“One of those enemies almost killed your nephew. I’d like to find out who.”
“Me, too. Believe me, I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out who they were.”
“They rode in on motorcycles?”
“Yeah. Sounded like Harley’s.”
“You couldn’t identify them by patches?”
“To be honest, I wasn’t around when it happened. I was taking a leak. I heard the commotion but didn’t see anything.”
“Why did you assume they were us?” he asked.
“Just like I said before, Ronnie told me. I had no reason to doubt him back then. And the way they talked about you and the club, it just seemed logical.”
“Hell, I could hear the praises now,” he said with a smirk. “What about your Ex? Patty? She must have seen the shooters.”
“After I found out that you weren’t the ones behind the attack, I tried talking to her about it but she couldn’t remember much. Just that they were bikers and looked scary.”
“She wouldn’t recognize any of them?”
I shrugged. “I don’t know. To be honest, we got into this huge fight afterward and I haven’t seen her since.” She’d actually wanted to get back with me but I’d lost all respect and feelings for Patty. It wasn’t that I hated her for what she’d done, by showing up with my nephew at that party, which I probably should have. I pitied the fact that she was so insecure, especially since I’d never given her reason to be.
“Maybe I should talk to her,” said Tank, grabbing a piece of paper.
“You sure you want to do that?” I asked.
“If it will help find out who those assholes were, of course. Don’t worry, I’m not going to hurt her.”
“I wasn’t worried about her, I was worried about you,” I joked. “She can be very stubborn and temperamental.”
He grinned. “Most women are. What’s her address?”
I gave it to him.
He wrote it down. “Where does she work?”
“Last I heard, she was waitressing at Rumors.”
“Okay. Good to know.”
“Do you want me to go with you?”
Crossing his arms over his chest, he leaned back in the chair again. “No,” he said, staring off. “Something tell me it’s a bad idea. If Patty is still mad at you, she might be too pissed off to cooperate. I’ll bring Tail with me. He has a way of making women talk.”
“She’s a head-case, so tell him not to fuck her or she’ll be looking at wedding rings the next morning.”
He grinned. “Noted.”

“Raina? She and Tank are engaged aren’t they?” I asked, stunned.
“Yes,” he replied. “I’m sure it’s bullshit. The Devil’s Rangers are trying to pin this on them because of what happened today. And then there’s the other obvious reason - Cole deserted the club and is now with the Gold Vipers. That
