Mask

I don’t talk about my feelings and never have. Not even with a woman. But Kindra is different, and she needs to hear these things regardless of what she tells herself. I know she needs it and I give it to her. Why? I don’t fucking know. I barely know the girl, but that doesn’t mean shit to me. I like having her around. I like the feisty attitude she has. It settles something in me.

“Russians. Just like we thought to begin with,” Free tells me what I didn’t want to hear. I run my hand through my hair and sigh.

“Wonder just how much they have on her?” I ask more to myself than the guys.

“Hard to say. I don’t think they’d let this slide, though.”

“I don’t either. That’s the problem.”

“She worth keepin’ around?”

“Are you suggestin’ I throw her ass out on the streets and let them handle her?” I ask Pike. He shrugs his shoulders, pissing me off further. I’m not throwing her out.

“What if we take a vote?” Free asks.

“On what?” I snap louder this time.

“Keepin’ her here or not.”

“There is no goddamn vote here! I said I’d keep her safe, and that’s what I’m gonna do!” I roar this time. The guys all sit back in their chairs. They had to know this much. They had to have seen this coming.

“Even if it means losin’ men?” Pike asks this time.

“I’m not losin’ shit. Not her, not men. We’ll figure this out.”

“If you say so.” I flip Pike off and sit back in my chair before looking at Van, who has been quiet.

“You have thoughts,” I say.

“I think you’re doin’ the right thing, Prez. I think this thing between you and her is gettin’ deeper, and I don’t see you lettin’ her go when this over.”

“Is that what you see?” I ask, feeling somewhat amused by what he’s saying. If I have to let her go, I will. That doesn’t mean I want to, but I will.

“Yeah, I see it. I think we all do, which is why I don’t even know why he brought up a vote,” he adds. I nod my head as I pull out my cell phone and check some emails. I light a cigarette while I read one from Mystic.

“Mystic doesn’t think it’s gonna be as hard as we thought to get to them.”

“Why is that?” Pike asks.

“He said only a few know about her. We get to them, the rest know nothin’,” I tell them what I’ve been reading.

“Can’t be that easy. Nothin’ ever is.”

“We start with the shooter. We call Silla over at Royal Devils and see what she can find out as far as the shooter goes,” I tell them.

“You think Grave is gonna let his old lady get involved in this?”

“She won’t be involved. Just put out a few feelers and see who our shooter is. We’ll handle the rest,” I tell him. He nods his head as I bring my cigarette back to my lips and inhale.

“That’s it?”

“That’s it for now.
