“Can you do it or not?” Viper ground out.
“What’s in it for me?” His question was the first interest Crazy Bitch had seen in his eyes since he had entered the club.
“What do you want?”
Greer grinned, running his fingers over his temple, his eyes going to Diamond. “Wife’s expecting…”
“We know.” Becoming irritated, Viper gave Train a side look. “Get me a whiskey.”
“Me, too,” Stud brusquely requested before Train could stand.
“Diamond said Holly can have eight weeks maternity leave. I’m thinking twelve sounds better.” Greer stared at Diamond questioningly.
Viper turned toward Diamond. “The Last Riders will pay Holly’s salary for the extra four weeks.”
“That’s fine. I’ll be taking my own maternity during that time.”
“Then it’s a….” Viper’s smile vanished when Greer started shaking his head.
“I went to the grocery store the other day. You know how much diapers are?”
“Yes.” Viper’s face was becoming red with anger. “Since you’re Aisha’s godfather, you know I do.”
“Yeah, well, I didn’t have a clue. Might have put off knocking Holly up if I did. A year’s supply would come in mighty handy.”
“The Destructors will pay for a year’s supply of diapers,” Stud offered.
“Satisfied?” Viper ominously grabbed his knife from his boot, but Winter took it away before he could open it.
“Seems to me that The Last Riders and the Destructors are donating to pay my fee; I think it’s only fair the Blue Horsemen contribute, too.”
“What do you want?” Calder shouldered his way to stand beside Stud.
“I got Holly a brand-new truck. Every Sunday, she makes me wash it and gas it up. It’s a pain in my ass to spend my time doing it.”
“The Blue Horsemen can take care of that,” Calder agreed.
“Make sure the tank is filled to the top, too… for a year.”
“Anything else?” Calder glared down at Greer, showing his patience was running out.
Crazy Bitch would have to remember the tactics that Greer used to get his demands met. The fucker had three groups of bikers ready to beat him senseless, yet he wasn’t even sweating.
“Yeah, don’t forget the wax.” Greer tilted his beer back, finishing it off. “I better get home. Holly will be waiting for me.” He turned his head to look over his shoulder at Calder. “When someone comes to wash Holly’s truck Sunday, send the jackets. I’ll send an email to Viper, Stud, and you after I hide them. After that, you’re on your own. Don’t be trying to get me to give any hints. And so you know, it won’t be hidden anywhere on my property. I ain’t gonna have my backyard dug up to settle a bet.” Greer stood up, staring down at Viper expectantly.
Confused, Viper stared back. “What?”
“Shade said you would make it worth my time to get here in thirty minutes. I made it in twenty-five.” Greer held his hand out.
“Viper… we don’t know the sheriff here. You’ll spend the night in jail,” Winter cautioned her husband.
Viper’s chair scraped back as he stood, removing his wallet. Taking out a hundred, he slapped it down into Greer’s waiting palm. Then Greer’s palm went out toward Stud, who looked like he was about to have a seizure. Taking out his wallet, he placed another hundred on top of the other one. When Greer’s hand went toward Calder, Crazy Bitch nearly howled in laughter. Calder took out his wallet, counting five twenties.
“You can see who has more butter on their bread by the bills a man carries.” Greer’s fingers snapped closed as he turned to leave, stopping by Diamond. “Let’s just keep this to ourselves. She would have expected me to do it for free because she’s friends with you.”
“All right. It’s a good thing she didn’t come tonight when I invited her. She said you were under the weather, and she needed to get home and make you some soup. You don’t look very sick,” she said caustically.
“I’m not.” Greer shrugged. “But I wasn’t about to let her go to that movie. I don’t want her getting any ideas. You dumbasses should take a lesson from me.” He smirked as he went toward the door.
Crazy Bitch couldn’t hold back her laughter any longer.
“I’m glad you find it so funny.” Calder’s hand had gone to the chair that Greer had been sitting in as if he was going to throw it at the departing man.
Crazy Bitch laconically stood, making sure she was standing so if anyone threw anything at Greer, it would hit her first.
“You sure he isn’t a Last Rider? He fucked all of you and left with a smile on his face.”

He sat, staring out at the green grass and the flowers that had been planted in a circle underneath the trees. The rehab center Gavin was in was nothing like the one the court had decreed he had to stay at. There were no bars on the windows, and each room was private with its own backyard.
