I reared back.“I heard his guys talking.Yogi knows.”
He chuckled.“I know, baby.The whole club knows.Wrecker just doesn’t want to storm the castle and burn everything down.”
“And you do?”I asked.
He shrugged.“I think they need to pay.”
“And you don’t think Wrecker feels that way?”
I knew Wrecker felt it.The whole club did.But waiting felt unbearable.
Ender didn’t answer right away.“If it were me,” he said finally, “this would already be over.”
I reached across the table and rested my hand over his.“I think Wrecker’s trying to keep it from getting bigger than it already is.You can’t take out an entire club over four guys.”
“Well,” Ender said quietly, “we’re down to three now.”
I glanced around, lowering my voice.“I’m not surprised.”
He met my gaze.“Do you think Wrecker’s wrong?”
“No,” I said honestly.“I think it’s just hard to wait when you’re angry.”
He nodded.“King from the Devil’s Knights called Yogi.Told him his guys needed a place to stay.Yogi agreed.Brinks, Thorn, and Nickel are heading there pretending to be DKMC.”
My eyes widened.“Seriously?”
“They’ll scope things out.”
“What if they get caught?”
“They won’t.”
“Then why are you so pissed?”
He looked out the window.“Because taking our time isn’t as satisfying as just blowing them all up.”
I couldn’t help but laugh.“Patience is a virtue, Ender.”
The food arrived, and the moment broke.I stared down at my plate at the massive sandwich and pile of fries, making my stomach growl.
I grabbed the ketchup.“Does letting Wrecker handle it mean we get more rides and random diners because you’re mad?”
He laughed.“You don’t like our first night out?”
“Date?”I asked.
He nodded.“First of hopefully many.”
My heart stumbled.
“You like me, Clove?”he asked quietly.
“Of course I like you,” I said.
“No,” he said.“I mean… do you like me?”
I swallowed.“Yes.”
