Piper and Switch were waiting on us when we arrived. Once the girls were safe inside, we got the fuck out of there. I knew I wanted Switch away from my sister before I got caught up in Tori again. That's another conversation I need to have today.
"Switch is calling a mandatory. Make sure you're present. I need everyone at the house tonight."
"You got it, Boss." I light up a cigarette just as the rumble of the bikes get closer. Switch, Beast, and Stone pull up. All three are focused and at my side instantly.
"Looks like a few fuckers want to play. I want all ears and eyes on deck for this. I need to know if my sister is being targeted, or if that just happens to be coincidence.
"I'll get cameras installed here and in prime locations of each of our properties." Stone is always on target with security. He's the brains behind every bit of it we have in place.
"Make sure you add security to the apartment complex. My sister is there and I don't want anything out of place."
"I'm on it."
"Do you think we should have one of the guys with your sister until we know what's going on?" Beast is my logical thinker. He's my planner.
"Fuck. The last thing I want is to drag her any closer to the club, but fuck if this isn't what I'm going to have to do."
"Who do you want with her?" Well, isn't this the question of the mother fucking day. Beast knows my feelings on this. Hell, every one of my guys knows the fucking rule, so I should be able to put any of them on her, but until I know what the fuck is going on, I need my best with her.
"You, but don't let her know you're watching."
"Yeah, because I fit in well with others." This smartass is giant. He isn't the best at being incognito.
"Pull in Shadow. That's his fucking specialty. Tell him to work with Stone on security for the apartment. Beast, see what you can find out from the area chapters. Maybe someone has heard some buzz about what went down. The girls are both set on the fact they were run off the road, purposely. This is a red flag, and I won't fucking ignore it when it hits this close." I turn to walk away from the guys when my phone starts ringing. It's Piper.
"Hey Evan! Do you have a car or something I can use until mine is fixed?"
"What do you need a car for?"
"For work and you know... things like groceries." As much as I'd love to keep her trapped in her apartment, I know that isn't logical. I need to be level headed, but I just want to protect her. That's something I fucked up doing when I was younger. She deserves the best, and it really pisses me off that the best is my family of brothers that I want to keep her away from. Because that's the very last plan I had when I heard she was moving here.
"I'll get you something. How are you both feeling today?"
"Sore. Tori is too, but we'll be alright. You should bring the car yourself. I think someone has a crush on you."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah. She's been asking a lot of questions about you. Shit, it makes me realize how much I really don't know you."
"You know me."
"I don't remember all the details. I wish I did, Evan, but I don't. I know you were a great brother and went to battle for me with dad, but other than that, I missed so much of you."
"I missed you growing up too, you know." This is the reason I can't let anything happen to her. She deserves the chance to know she's loved by blood family. I may be the only blood she has, but I can make up for everything she's missed out on.
"I know. We just have to make up for some lost time! So bring me a car today and we'll do some more of that bonding shit."
"Ok. I have a meeting tonight, I'll come by after and we'll go grab some dinner somewhere."
"I'm bringing Tori. She needs out of this apartment as much as I do." My dick twitches at the sound of her name. I'll have to separate myself from her better than I did yesterday. If I'm trying to keep my sister out of this shit, the last thing I should be doing is her fucking roommate.
"It's ten in the morning. How can you already be stir crazy?"
"I hate being trapped. Maybe we should just do lunch."
"I can do that. I'll see you in a few hours. I want to talk to you about a few things anyway, so this works out better."
"See you soon, brother." The sound of that word coming from her mouth, means so much to me. For years, I thought I'd lost her forever. Knowing I have a second chance to get to know her, almost seems too good to be true. Good things don't happen to me like that.
"Don't leave your apartment until I get there." She hangs up on me. I'm guessing she didn't hear me talking at the end, but I wouldn't put it past her if she did. She's a fucking mess who doesn't like to be told what to do. I like being the boss.... so this will be interesting.
