TWENTY
KILLIAN
The menon the ground were being collected by the Death Raiders in someone’s truck.
We were working quickly, but we’d also put in a call to our contact with the police to stay away from this area for a while, so we could clear out.
The Destroyers were gone. One second they were there, with guns aimed at us, and the next, they were going down, one by one, until enough of them realized what was going on and took off. Our men were safe, same with Chaos Kings, and Death Raiders…but the surprise twist in this was the arrival of Mayhem Riot.
“Sorry we were late.” Archer Green walked over from where he’d parked his bike.
I was still in shock that he’d just saved our asses.
I extended my hand and shook his, trying to communicate my gratitude. “Can’t believe you showed up. I didn’t even ask you because I heard you had retired.”
He dipped his head, showing the top of his darker blond hair. It was still cut so it hit his collarbone, but it was tied back at his neck, revealing his wide jaw.
“A man that looked like he could be Silas Silva’s brother showed up inmy club a few days ago, threatening my wife if I didn’t go to war with you.”
“I take it that didn’t sit well with you?”
He let out a laugh, shaking his head. “Not even a little bit.”
“And your wife and kids, they safe?”
A devious smile stretched across his mouth, which his hand came up to cover. “They’re more than safe. The fucker has no idea who my wife is related to. If he took two seconds to look into my family, he’d realize we had a giant, ‘don’t fuck with these ones,’ sign on our backs.”
I remember being surprised back when he’d gotten married and who attended his wedding. Laura and I had been given an invite, as a show of peace after Simon’s funeral, and we weren’t sure the surrounding clubs’ supposed treaty was genuine. Archer got married not long after that, and if I was correct then his wife was connected to?—
“Killian!” Jameson called for me with his phone to his ear.
I gave Archer one last nod of thanks and walked away. “What’s wrong?”
Jameson said something to the person on the phone, then addressed me. “Giles is at the club with the doctor, but Yeti just spotted two Destroyers riding along our property fence line. We need to get back to the club. Now.”
