“Huh? Why would you?”
“You guys really didn’t look too deeply into our links, did you?” I asked, amused as all hell. “Didn’t MaryCat explain?” I tacked on, talking about his half-sister who’d started the business operation between the Satan’s Sinners’ MC and us.
“She doesn’t talk about the Five Points. At least, not to us. Maybe to Digger, but he’s never said anything in church.”
Though I cocked a brow at that, I tipped an imaginary hat to her.
Even knowing we trained our girls well, it suited me to hear that MaryCat knew to keep her mouth shut. Even so far as to the extent that she didn’t tell her half-brother about his familial links with us.
“Well, she’s my second cousin. On your mother’s side. Which makes you my second cousin too.”
Silence fell at that. “Christ.”
Pretty much summed it up. “Anyway, I’ll let that sink in, and the fact that you ain’t just a Sinner, but a Five Pointer by birth. If you need us, we’re here. You got me?”
He cleared his throat. “I got you.”
“Any of the women hurt?”
“No. Thank fuck. Got one man with goddamn amnesia of all things.”
“Legit?” I had to laugh. “Fuck, it’s like an episode ofDays of our Lives.”
“Trust me, I know.” He blew out a breath. “We’re going to do the best we can to get back to a regular schedule ASAP. I appreciate you cutting us some slack, and I know Rex will too.”
I hummed. “Keep me in the loop, yeah?”
“Will do. Thanks… cuz.”
My lips twitched. “You’re welcome, Padraig.”
When I cut the call, I instantly hit Conor’s number as I rocked back in my seat. “Got news.”
“Good news?”
“Nope. The Sinners’ compound was hit with heavy duty explosives.”
“Jesus.” The line throbbed with his tension. “Anyone hurt?”
“Yeah.” Because I knew him well enough to know where his mind was running, I asked, “You really think Lodestar is living with them?”
“I’ve believed it for a while.”
“Well, Padraig said that none of the women were harmed, so you should be okay.”
“Like I give a fuck,” he grumbled.
I snorted. “Yeah, yeah. Save it for Brennan. We both know he gives you more shit than I do.”
“That’s why you’re my favorite brother.”
“I’m sure.”
“Naw, it’s true. You are.”
“I am today.”
“I have news for you too.”
