“What happened when you were there, didn’t she give you the information you wanted so you had to get rough?”
“No.” I grunt, I would never hurt a woman the thought is abhorrent to me. The lawyer places his hand on my arm.
“Are you saying my client is responsible for the death of this woman?”Thelawyer asks.
“No, for now I am asking him what happened when they went to the deceasedwoman’shome.” The detective replies with a frown at the lawyer, the lawyer is about to argue but I place a hand on his arm. I didn’t kill the women, so I don’t have a problem stating what happened while I was there.
“I did not kill the women; we went there to ask her if she knew where my woman’s sisterwas. She told us what she knew, I gave her some money to thank her and gave her the clubs contact details if she ever wanted to get help.” he looks down at the file before nodding at my comments.
“Did you see anyone else there?” the detective asks.
“No,” I state but then I remember what Dash said, “but one of our men was sitting outside and he saw a member of the Hades MC ride past, could be that he came back when we left.” The detective looks at me and frowns.
“Why would you think a member of the Hades MC would do that?”
“She belongs to the Hades, if they drove past and knew that we were there to talk to her they might have come back, and things might not have gone as smoothly as they could.”
“We could say the same about you, couldn’t we?”Thedetective states as he leans forwards, “after all you are a member of the Wolverine MC, I’m sure her belonging to the Hades doesn’t sit well with you.”
“Don’t answer that.”Thelawyer states as he frowns at the detective, “If you are going to be accusing my client, then we are leaving right now.” The detective lifts his hands in resignation.
“Is it true that the Wolverine and Hades are at war?” I frown at that question.
“I don’t see how that has anything to do with the questioning.” The lawyer says, “If you have nothing else then my client is going to leave now.” The detective closes his folder and looks up at me.
“Don’t leave town, we might have further questions.” What a waste of time, they could have asked me these questions at the club. Standing I make my way out of the interrogation room, I can sense that Hunter is somewhere to my left, and I’m guessing that he is still being questioned. I also know that Onix is close, as I can feel her pull as if she was right next to me. Walking towards the stairs I make my way downstairs. I see Onix standing to one side, Fang and Gunner standing beside her.
Gunner and Fang their eyes are on me as I descend, Onix senses me later and her head turns, her eyes rise to clash with mine and then she is rushing towards me. “Are you okay?”Sheasks as her arms wrap around my waist and her head is flush against my chest. My arms wrap around her and everything seems to calm.
“I’m much better now.” I murmur against the top of her head.
“Kingis talking to the commander,” Gunner says as he comes to stand before me, “What did they ask?”
“If I killed the women?” I hear Onix gasp as she leans back her arms still around my waist, but her face is raised up towards me.
“Did they actually ask you that?”Sheasks with a frown.
“In a roundabout way, yes,” I state, “I think it was the Hades that Dash saw riding past, he must have gone back and killed her.”
“A shit storm is coming, especially now when . . .” I glare at Fang, which immediately has him cutting off what he was going to say, I don’t want Onix suspecting anything until I tell her. I need to break it gently to her, and even like that it might break her.
Onix glances over her shoulder at Fang, “especially now?”
“Are you all waiting for me?” Hunter asks as he comes down the stairs, just in time to interrupt Onix’s question. It is time to go home as soon as King joins us, and then I need to find a way to tell Onix what I found. Am I going to lose her, is she really going to leave as soon as she knows that we have found hersister'sbody, or will she see that we are meant to be together and stay?
ONIX 15
Today has been tiring, with one thing and another I am feeling exhausted even though I slept the day away after Hawk made sweet love to me, but the fact that the police suspect Hawk of murder has my nerves on edge. I don’t know why I am so certain that he didn’t do it, but I am. If for some reason they do arrest him then I will do everything in my power to find the evidence that he is innocent.
Stepping out of the shower I yawn; I want to wait up for Hawk to know what they found when they went up to the hill but since coming back here they have once again locked themselves in the meeting room. Hawk seems on edge but who can blame him, after everything that has happened today anyone would be on edge.
I can’t believe that I am in a motorcycle club, surrounded by wolf shifters and that I am at peace with it. I know that the circumstances that brought me here are not the best, but it feels like fate brought us together. I wish Fate hadn’t used Linda to get me here, but I don’t see which other way I would have travelled all this way to meet Hawk.
Walking towards the set of draws against the one side of the room I open the first one to find Hawk’s t-shirts. Pulling one from the bottom I drop my towel before slipping it over my nakedness. Picking the towel up from the floor I lay it over the chair that Hawk has here against the far wall. Walking towards the bed I pick up my phone from the side table before sitting on the bed cross legged.
“Hello” mom says after the third ring.
“Mom, how are you?” I wish I had good news for her, but at least she knows that I am looking for Linda.
