the warehouses and garages surrounding it. She didn’t know what she had been expecting, but it hadn’t been on this scale. It was like its own little town, and the house in the middle of it all was tall and ancient.
“Wow,” she smiled. “This is incredible.”
Steel reached down and squeezed her hands with one of his.
They pulled up outside of the clubhouse, and Candy could see from the track marks and the bike that King was already there. Steel helped her down and he ran with her towards the steps of the house, jumping up them two at a time until he reached the front door.
He pushed it open and Candy could hear the hushed voices inside. Steel gripped her hand tightly and took her inside the darkened building, her heart pounding and her mind willing that everything was going to be okay.
They entered a room and a circle of bikers turned to face them.
Steel tensed and pulled Candy closer to him.
“Tell me,” he said. “What…?”
King blinked back tears and walked to the front of the crowd.
“The Iron Riders,” he said. “Those fuckers stormed Red X at dawn this morning.”
Steel sucked in a lung full of air and braced himself for the full story.
“They killed Marv,” he said without emotion. “Not that anyone will miss that fucking prick, but…he’s dead.”
Candy gasped. How could this have happened? She hadn’t liked Marv in the slightest, but she didn’t wish him any harm… How could he be dead? How could it all be over, just like that? She felt tears welling behind her own eyes, and she looked up at Steel for reassurance, but she could tell that he had much more on his mind than a low-life cokehead who owed him money.
He wasn’t fazed by the information about Marv, but Candy could see that something was bothering him and that he was now scanning each face in the room…looking for someone, trying to discover who else was missing. The expression on everyone’s face was so glum and somber, Candy already knew what was coming…
“Where’s Tanner?” Steel asked sharply, his eyes widening.
King dropped his head and a lone tear rolled down his cheek.
“Tanner was there, Steel,” King said. “He got caught off guard.”
“No…” Steel said.
King nodded and reached forward, trying to comfort his friend, but Steel pulled back and turned away.
“They shot him,” one of the other bikers interjected from the back of the room. “He was gone when we arrived. There was nothing we could do.”
Candy stood there, completely frozen to the spot and full of regret. Could she have done something to prevent this? The tension in the room was so heavy and fierce that she could barely stand it.
“Steel,” she whispered.
He shook his head before he clenched his fists and turned back to face the room.
“They’re not going to get away with this,” he said, spitting rage. “They want a war, they’ve got a war.” He punched his fist into his palm, and Candy shuddered. He was so angry, so powerful, so dangerous…
“When do we ride?” he asked with fury.
“Midnight,” King said. “We’re going to burn those fuckers to the ground.”
Steel took Candy’s hand in his and led her up the main staircase of the clubhouse and to the third floor. He hadn’t spoken a word since, and it was eerily quiet. She looked around and tried to catch glimpses of life elsewhere in the house. Behind doorways hushed conversations were being had, and she could hear a low sobbing coming from one of the bedrooms.
As they got up to the top floor, Steel marched along to the end of the corridor and pushed open the last door on the left. He pulled Candy inside and closed it behind them, and then he collapsed down onto the bed and put his head into his hands.
“Tanner was the closest thing I ever had to a brother,” he said solemnly. “I can’t believe he’s gone.”
Candy felt the sadness rise within her. She had to comfort him.
“I’m so sorry,” she said as she rushed to his side. “Tell
