“I want you to take care of him for so much more than this fucking nothing of a bruise.” Disdain dripped from her words like viper’s venom. “I know who killed your president a few monthsback.”
Without even thinking about it, my fingers wrapped around her throat and I threw her into the brick wall. I got within an inch of her face, barking at her, “Do not fuck with me, sweetheart. It will be the last thing you everdo.”
Her tiny fingers pulled at mine as she gasped. “I swear—my husband did it.” She had tears forming at the corners of hereyes.
I released her throat. “Tell me everything,” Isnarled.
“All I know is a few months ago he came home in the middle of the night with some of his friends, bragging about how he killed the unkillable, the fearless leader of the Unacceptables. They had been trying to off him since the bullshit with the last president. He thought I was asleep but I heardeverything.”
“What is his fucking name?” Iasked.
“Ralph.”
Ralph? What a twit of a name.“Do you know where he is?” I gripped her shoulders. I was scared if I let go of her, she would vanish into thin air and it would all be a sick twisted dream to fuck with me evenmore.
She nodded. “I’ll even give you a key to the house and a picture of thebastard.”

“Red? Man, ya in here?”I slammed my boot into the door, practically taking it off its hinges. In the back of the mechanic shop, there were a few rooms we had available in case any member needed a place to crash. Red’s old lady had finally had enough with his drinking and fucking around, and had kicked his assout.
I heard himgroan.
“Dude, get the fuck up.” I kicked the side of the mattress, ripping the covers off ofhim.
“Go the hell away, fucker, before I shove my boot so far up your ass it comes out of your fucking mouth. It’s the middle of the damn night for Christ sake.” He scoffed before rolling over and throwing a pillow over hishead.
“I found him.” My sinister tone sliced through the air as the hair on the back of my neck stood on end. After months of searching, the Sinner who took Abel’s life was finally going to have to pay for what he haddone.
“Him? Likethehim?”
“Fuck yes,brother.”
Red shot up from bed like a bat out of hell, grabbed his jeans, and started to get dressed. “Have you called Ryder or Holtyet?”
“They’re notanswering.”
“Let’s go then.” Red’s cut was the last thing he threw on before we stomped out to our bikes where they waited in the gravel lot at the back of theshop.
Rocks and dirt flew from the spinning of my back tire as I hauled ass to Ryder’s house. I knew busting through his front door at three in the morning was probably not going to go over well with our new president or his old lady, but I didn’t fucking care at thatpoint.
Red was right on my tail. We weaved down the winding roads, taking turns way too fast, running stoplights and nearly flying off the side of amountain.
I kicked out my Dark Horse’s stand and flew up the porch steps. I tried the doorknob but the damn thing was locked. Banging as loud as I could, I called forRyder.
Within seconds, he was throwing the front door open. “For fuck’s sake, Tre. What could be this important right now? Raine is sleeping for crying outloud.”
“Get fucking dressed!” I yelled, barging into his front room with Red behindme.
“Not until you tell me what is fucking going on.” Ryder stood at the bottom of the staircase with his arms folded over his bare chest. He was freaking stark naked and didn’t seem to bat an eyelash atit.
Red’s face was flushed as he gripped the doorjamb. “He found the guy. He fucking found him,Pres.”
The color drained from Ryder’s face. “Are you sure? Are you positive you foundhim?”
I nodded as I started to pace in the smallfoyer.
“Get everyone to the bar. We need to have a meeting and plan this shit out right now. Let’s go hunting.” Ryder’s face twisted into an ominous smile as he made thedeclaration.
