Shakedown (Souls Chapel Revenants MC 8)

Clothes and all.

Bruno pulled his phone out of his front pocket and tapped a few numbers before placing it to his ear.

“Yeah.” Bruno paused and placed his phone on speaker. “I’m gonna need one of y’all to see if you can find a vehicle. Possibly more. But… shit.”

“What?” I heard the man on the other end of the line.

“Hunt, tell Lynn he was right. Pigs will eat humans,” Bruno muttered.

There was a long, silent pause and then, “I fuckin’ told you, man!”

“I know,” Bruno grumbled.

“You do?” Hunt asked at the same time that I said, “You do?”

Bruno looked down at me, then nodded. “In between the walk out here and seeing this mess in front of me, I had a quick flash of everything that I’ve been missing. I need to get us somewhere safe, and then I’ll call and tell you what I know.”

Bruno kept looking around like he expected someone to fall out of the woodwork at any second.

And now that he was looking, I could see thousands of places for someone to hide.

“Speaking of,” Hunt said into the quiet of the moment. “I was able to access how they found you. She has a computer that’s linked to her social media pages. She posted, and her IP address was flagged. I’ve blocked that access now, and there’s no way in hell they have another person that can find you. That was just a fluke that they had someone like me.”

Bruno looked at me over his shoulder before shaking his head and returning his gaze back to the woods beyond.

“Not taking that chance with her life,” he grumbled. “We’re heading out at zero two hundred. I need someone to come here and feed my animals…”

“I’m not getting near those murderous swine,” Hunt declared. “But Six already said she would be there. Lynn said she wasn’t coming anywhere near there if you didn’t have the fence fixed. So you may want to get that done before…”

“He’s not doing that,” I protested. “He can barely walk upright at this point. You get your fat, lazy asses out here and help him, or I’m going to call my family, and y’all can go fuck yourse…” I trailed off when Bruno’s hand covered my mouth.

“Okay then.” Hunt sounded like he was smiling. “I guess we’ll all be there to help you get those murderous swine back into their pens before she lets her family loose on us.”

They would let loose on them, too.

I knew they would without a shadow of a doubt.

All any of us Pena girls had to say was ‘help’ and they would come running.

“Okay, well then we’ll be there in thirty.” Hunt paused. “I’m so damn excited to actually come out there. You told me time and time again that…”

Bruno hung up on the man, causing me to snicker.

“Hunt’s an acquired taste,” Bruno muttered darkly.

CHAPTER 16

Know everything happens for a reason but, what the fuck?

BELLE

I’d met Lynn and Six.

I hadn’t met the rest of them.

Trick and Swayze. Hunt and Wyett. Crockett and Zach—though I’d seen Zach before when I was younger. Not so much as an adult.
