Crazy B!tch (Biker Bitches 5)

“It’s not three hundred thousand,” Diamond said, still fanning herself.

“Ma and Skulls don’t have money.”

“My mother would give some if she was here.” Killyama cast a look at Train, who was trying to avoid looking at her directly.

Giving a hard sigh, he took out his wallet, the chain attached whipping his leg at the jerking movement. “Where do we pay?”

Killyama’s unhappy frown broke into a relieved smile. “How much are you putting in?”

“All of it. You all can keep your money.”

Killyama was so happy she jumped on Train, wrapping her legs around his waist and kissing him. “Thank you, thank you, thank you. When we get home, I’m going to do something for you,” she promised, dropping back to her feet.

“I’ll show you where you pay. Then I’m going to the sheriff’s office to be there when they release her. I don’t trust her not to do something to screw it up before I can get her out.” Diamond fastened her briefcase, standing up.

“I’ll go with you. Give me a second,” Calder said to Diamond, holding his hand out to Train. “I owe Shade a debt. Now I owe you, though I don’t know how I’ll be able to repay you.”

Train took his hand, not releasing it. “You don’t owe me shit. Crazy Bitch won’t break bail, so I’ll get my money back. What you and Peyton are doing for Gavin is a debt we can’t repay.”

Calder gripped Train’s hand tighter. “I will always be there for Gavin when he needs me.”

When Train released his hand, Calder went with a waiting Diamond to the parking lot. Getting on his bike, he rode behind her as she drove her car to the police station where Crazy Bitch was being held.

They waited in the lobby for the call to come through, and when it did, the sheriff and four of his deputies went through a steel door to get her.

Calder heard Diamond mumbling.

“I can’t hear what you are saying.”

“I am praying.”

“She wouldn’t really do anything that would keep her from getting released, would she?”

Diamond gave him a look filled with exasperation. “You have no idea. Crazy Bitch is crazy. If she feels that she or someone she loves has been wronged, she goes after them no-holds-barred. Did she ever tell you about the men she killed?”

“I thought she was joking.”

“She wasn’t joking. She was telling you the truth. Her mother was one of the worst addicts I’ve ever met, and I’ve met a few. She’d get waitressing jobs, but as soon as she got a new boyfriend, she’d quit working. To give her credit, she made sure none of those lowlifes ever touched Crazy Bitch. That being said, she spent most of her time going back and forth to different foster homes. As far as I know, most of them treated her fairly well, but I don’t know for sure. She really hasn’t ever talked to me personally, and Sex Piston and her crew damn sure wouldn’t say anything if she did.

“One of her boyfriends had a rap sheet of domestic violence charges. A couple of them were brought on by Crazy Bitch’s mother. She kicked him out and managed to get custody back during one of those times.

“One day, Crazy Bitch came home from school and heard her mother in the bathroom, crying for help. When she went to the bathroom, she found her half dead, the boyfriend strangling her. Crazy Bitch went nuts trying to get him off her. She went to the kitchen and got a knife. When she came back, he was still on top of her mother. She stabbed him in the back. They tried her for murder, but she was acquitted.”

“I don’t remember hearing about that, and I’ve known her a long time.”

“I didn’t know about it either until I got my law degree and had to get her out of jail one time for breaking a man’s jaw because he had tried to rape T.A. As her lawyer, I was given access to her records. None of the other brothers know because she was underage and her identity had to be protected.”

“How old was she?” Calder asked hoarsely.

“Eleven years old.”

“Why are you telling me? You wouldn’t talk to Stud about my case because I wouldn’t give you permission.” Calder hadn’t been trying to convince Gavin to trust Diamond for no reason. Besides being a hell of a lawyer, she knew how to keep her mouth shut. She didn’t talk about other clients’ cases.

“Because, when I had an office in Jamestown, all my cases were here. Several of those cases were for the Destructors, and those include Crazy Bitch’s.” Diamond stepped to the side, motioning for him.

She lowered her voice to make sure no one in the offices could hear them. “When I talked to Crazy Bitch last night, she said she knew something didn’t feel right when the sheriff showed up. She said, as many times as she’s dealt with the cops, the sheriff has never responded to a call. She’s right. I grew up here. I’ve never dealt with him, either.
