“That wasn’t a very good start,” I murmur just as I hear a noise behind me, glancing back I see Sam looking into the room, when she sees me, she turns to leave. “Sam.”Sheglances back.
“Come sit with us,” I see her surprise and the way she hesitates but then she nods and comes to sit between the two of us. “Would you like to hold this little ball of fur?”Shesmiles and nods. When she is holding the pup, I decide that it is time that I apologize to her for my unreasonable questioning.
“Sam,” she looks up at her name, “I’m sorry about the other day, I shouldn’t have questioned you the way I did but I needed to make sure that Hawk wasn’t lying to me.” I see her cheeks darken with colour before she lowers her head again.
“It’s okay, I understand.”Shemurmurs
“Can we be friends?” I ask and see her head snap up, then she looks over at Dakota before she looks back at me and nods. I don’t know what Sam’s story is but I know that she’s a good person and whatever happened to her she didn’t deserve it, I want to build a relationship where she knows that if she needs anything I will be here for her. I havelearnedthat sometimes the best way to help someone is to be there to listen.
HAWK 14
“Okay I’m here, what’s up?” King asks as he walks into the meeting room still pulling on a t-shirt. After arriving back, I called a meeting, we need to discuss what we are going to do moving forward.
“We have a fucking problem, and we need to decide on the best way forward.” King walks towards his chair, sitting he leans back waiting for me to continue. The others are also sitting waiting for what we found.
“We went up behind the old church near the Hades MC territory, we were told that Linda liked going there at night. The closer we got to the hill the more we were hit with a rotting smell,” there are grunts and angry comments from the men and they don’t know the half of it.
“Did you find her?” King asks as he leans forward, a scowl on his face. We all know what a rotten smell means.
“You have no idea what we found.” Hunter mutters as herubshis hand over his face
“Someone has been killing women, there are at least nine shallow graves up there.” I mutter
“Fuckers” Frost grunts
“That is the problem, we don’t think it was the Hades MC or at least all of them. This looks like it is one man doing the killings and he takes trophies.” At Blue’s statement I see the men looking at each other in surprise.
“Are you saying that there is a serial killer on the loose in our area?” Fang asks.
“Yes, that is exactly what he is saying.” Dash mutters.
“Fuck,” King mutters, “that is going to bring all sorts of heat down in this area that we really don’t need right now.”
“We covered those graves again, and now need to know what the best way forward is.” I state pulling my fingers through my hair. The site of those women in those shallow graves, has my anger ready to erupt, whoever the fucker is he is sick.
“I think we should tip the cops that they must look up there,” Goliath suggests, “maybe that will drive the fucker away which will let us pick up on who it is.”
“He is keeping souvenirs, the women we uncovered all had a chunk of theirscalpmissing.” Dash says in disgust.
“I think I will talk to the commander, tell him the truth that we are looking for your woman’s sister and thatitlead us up there that in turn leadusto finding those women.” King states.
“Are you sure you want to involve us in an investigation of that proportion?” Fang asks as he places his elbows on the table looking at King. “You know they will be on us until they find us completely innocent, and if they dig enough, they will find stuff which they might think wearenot all that innocent.”
“If we don’t tell them what we have found then sooner or later they will suspect us, I would rather they do it while we have an alibi which is looking for Hawk’s woman’s sister.”
“By the way, did youfindher?” Gunner asks from where he is sitting.
I nod, the knot in my gut tightening. “She was the first corpse we uncovered.” I mutter, I have no idea how I am going to tell Onix that her sister was killed.
“Fuck,” Dixon mutters, “that’s messed up, I’m sorry brother.”Thatthought that I must tell her that her sister is one of the women up on that hill has me wanting to kill someone. She is going to be devastated, I can sense the love she holds for her sister, to now be told that she is gone and in such aviolentway is unforgiving.
“Have you told your mate?” Gunner asks.
“No, and I don’t know how to fucking go out there and break her heart.” I grunt angrily, knowing that I am going to break her heart with this information has me feeling powerless, something that I am not used to feeling. She came all this way to find her sister, I promised to find her.I just wishshehad still been alive. Fang’s phone beeps which has him looking down at it and frowning.
“There are cops at the gate wanting to come in.” Fang mutters as he stands.
“What now?” King asks angrily, we all stand making our way out to the front of the club.
