There,

Jerry said. He looked back at
Miller.

But don

t get comfortable. And put the
gun away.


Why?

Miller asked.

A second later there was a blasting
siren. A large black vehicle barreled through the gates into the lot. The doors
opened and out poured a team of men with shields and weapons.


Fucking
hell,

Miller growled.

Jerry adjusted his badge and walked
forward, sticking his fingers into his mouth, whistling.

Warrants have been issued. Clubhouse
searched. So far, negative. But I want it torn to pieces. Oh, and there

s one definite arrest we have to
make.

Miller went after Jerry.

What are you doing?

Jerry turned and put a finger to
Miller

s face.

This is going to be a daily
occurrence until I find everything I

m
looking for. I

m going to
cut ties far from this MC, Miller. You wanted this war and now you

ve got it. You couldn

t keep yourself out of my
business. Or my wife

s
panties.


She
never loved you. That was the biggest mistake of my life, letting her go to
you. Working out a deal with you. You

re
scum, man.


I

m going out on top,

Jerry said.

When I take this MC down, that

s my swan song,
brother
.
I

ll retire with a fuck ton
of money and notoriety.

Miller opened his mouth but two men
ran past him. He turned and screamed.


The
one named Blaine!

Jerry
shouted and laughed.


What
the fuck
…”

The two men went into the
clubhouse. A few seconds later they came out, dragging Blaine by his feet. He
spit at them and refused to move his legs or feet.


Bye
bye,

Jerry said.


Fuck
you, pig!

Blaine growled.


You
can

t take him,

Miller said.


He
hit me. Assault. I

ll be
back for more. Later.


I

m going to
…”


Careful
what you say, Miller,

Jerry said.

Everything can
and fucking will be used against you.

The two men dragged Blaine toward the truck. Three other guys then started to beat on Blaine. Smashing him in
the gut, ribs, and back with their guns. Miller lunged forward, screaming, and
Jerry put a hand out.


No
use,

Jerry said.

These men are fiercely loyal to
me. I

m their leader. You

ve got nothing on me. On this
town. The game is over.

Jerry wiped the corner of his mouth, still with fresh blood from Blaine

s wicked punch.

I

ll
be back. And one way or another I

m
going to take my family with me and leave your club burning to the ground.

Miller held his tongue. He watched
as the men pulled Blaine into the back of the truck. Then the vehicle sped
away. Followed by Jerry in the SUV.

The lot was silent.


Miller,

Gaige said.

What the hell do we do now?


I

ve got to get Ella and Beck out
of here. They can

t be here
for this shit. He

s going
to get them and kill them.


What
about Blaine?


Get
on the phone with the lawyer. They

ve
got shit on him. He

s
flexing his muscle again. Blaine is tough. He knows. I

ve got to go. You

re
VP. Figure this out.


Jesus
Christ, what are you talking about?

Gaige asked.

Miller was on the move toward the
clubhouse. He had eyes all on him, waiting for the orders. He made it past the
bar and then stopped. Gaige almost crashed into him.


Fuck,

Miller said.

Everyone use their goddamn head.
He

s making his move on the
MC. He wants to take everyone in and bring the place down. All the guns have to
get moved. Anything that could hurt us has to be gone. The only people I want
left here are the prospects. The rest of you find somewhere to go. We

re going to lure him solo like
we said and then end this.


What
are you doing?

Gaige
asked.

Miller made a fist and slammed it
on the bar. He then ripped off his leather cut and held it up.

Who wants it? Huh? Who wants the
patch now? You want to take the lead?

The place remained silent.


Miller

s right,

Trev said.

There

s no position right now. Jerry
wants us scrambling and scared. He wants us to turn. Miller has to protect that
woman and her baby.


Blaine was taken,

Erik said.


Not
for long,

Miller said.

They have nothing on him. If you
let Jerry fuck with your head, he wins this entire thing.


He
brought his own army,

Landon said.

Should we
call other charters?


I
can bring the Lost Men down,

Trev said.

I

ll make this town filthy.


No,

Miller said.

This is between me and him. That

s how it started and that

s how it

s going to end. I

m
taking Ella and Beck to the cabin. I

ll
go up to the mountains and get her settled. When Jerry finds nothing here - and
nobody here - he

ll lose
his mind even more. Then we

ll
come back for one final stand. All or nothing, brothers. The plan has changed.
This is moving beyond a war. This is about dying with honor and for honor. This
is about doing what

s right
for us and for everything we stand for. Even if it brings a life sentence.
Anyone who can

t deal with
that needs to drop their cut and take a vacation.


Never,

Jace said.


Aye,

Shay said.

I

ll
die in my cut, brothers.


We
all will,

Gaige said. He
grabbed Miller by the shoulder.

Go
get her and get out of here. We

ll
take it from here then. Okay?


I
don

t want to fucking
leave,

Miller said.

But we have to be smart. We have
to show him that this clubhouse doesn

t
define us. Our brotherhood does. We could have this MC in a clubhouse like this
or in the middle of the fucking dessert with no table or chairs.

Everything fell silent again.


This
would be where Blaine would ask if there would be pussy in the dessert,

Gaige said.

Miller shook his head.

Then I

d tell him to go fuck a cactus.


Chances
are he probably has,

Gaige
said.

Or had one shoved up
his ass or something.


Call
the fucking lawyer,

Miller
ordered.

Get Blaine released.

Miller looked around.

Everyone else. Leave your
rides and grab cars. I want it to look really fucking weird for when he comes
back.

Miller hugged Gaige.
He then whispered,

Remember
what I said to you before, brother. I trust you with the patch. You

re the best goddamn VP a man
could ask for. And you would make a great fucking President.


Not
going to happen this time,

Gaige whispered back.

It

s your MC and your gavel. Let

s fucking end this thing.

Miller rushed to the bedroom and
found Ella huddled in a corner, holding a crying Beck. The baby was red faced,
thrashing his arms.


I
can

t get him to stop,

Ella said as she burst into
tears.


Okay,
okay,

Miller said. He took
Beck from Ella.

Hey,
little dude. Look at Miller.

Miller held the baby out.

We

re going for a ride to fix all
this. I need you to be tough. I need you to do what you do best. Sucking a
nipple and shitting your pants.

Miller smiled and Beck smiled back, his eyes still full of tears.

Good man. You

re right wing man now, Beck. I

m leaving my VP behind. So you
get the patch now. Got it, son?

Son.

Miller felt an ache deep in his
chest.


Where
are we going?

Ella asked.

Miller pulled Beck close to his
chest.

Son.


I
have a cabin. We go up there sometimes to hide out. We need to go right now.


What
happened, Miller?


He

s loaded up and ready to fight.
He took Blaine for hitting him. He

s
going to come back and keep serving warrants and searching the clubhouse. It

s his way of picking us apart
and spreading fear. Everyone is leaving. We have to go right now.


Beck
can

t ride on a motorcycle,

Ella said.


I
know that, darling. We

re
taking a car.

Miller
touched her face.

I know
we

re fighting right now,
but I need you to trust me with everything you have right now. Everything. Don

t do it for me. Do it for Beck.
I

d die for this kid.

Ella cried and buried her face in
Miller

s chest.

There was that sense of family
again.

Miller couldn

t deal with it right now.

He broke away and handed Ella the
baby. He then grabbed Ella

s
bag and tossed it on the bed. He grabbed another bag from the closet and
instead of packing clothes, he packed guns and ammo.


Make
sure you have everything you need for Beck,

Miller said.

Grab the
bottles and pump thing. Whatever you need. I

ll
grab some food and stuff from the fridge in the kitchen. Prospects will flank
us as we make our move, in case he

s
waiting.

At the door, Miller felt a hand
touch him. He looked back at Ella as a tear fell from her eye.

I

m
so scared, Miller.


I
know. It

s okay to be
scared, darling. I love you. We

re
going to be okay.

Miller then started moving again.
Time was not a friend right now.

He stormed through the clubhouse,
giving the orders to everyone again. The guys were in full swing, making sure
all guns were being moved out. He gave the orders to the prospects to stay and
act as normal. That when Jerry came again they tell the truth. They have no
idea where all the guys went.

Miller packed another large bag of
food and drinks for the cabin and then led the way out the back door. He had a
black SUV that the MC used for business purposes. It had almost a full tank of
gas and blended in with every other goddamn vehicle on the street.

Ella got Beck settled in his car
seat and sat in the back with him. That was fine by Miller. He wanted to focus
on the road and getting his family to safety.

My family.

He looked in the mirror and saw
Ella talking to Beck.
