snort.
“Because I plan on using this against him later on when this blows up in his face,” I add, watching as Rush swallows down whatever retort he was planning to say as surprise washes over his face.
“It will,” I go on. “Blow up in his face. Something will go down, and I’ll finally get to put Benny down for good. He has people focusing on Eve, when he’s the one doing shady shit. I’ll bring it up when it matters. Eve could use the vote of confidence as well, since everyone is apparently still leery of her. If I play his game now, no one will question me later on when I let the dominos fall. And he won’t be able to stop me when I put Benny down. Pop’s scared. You all saw it. I’m not scared. The club needs that right now.”
At least I’m not scared for me. But Eve…
“Drake is still outside,” Axle points out.
I brought in Axle for this meeting. Pop knew better than to try and stop me when I told him.
“He’ll stay here for now… until we set up a security routine for his place and the shop. He stuck his neck out by telling us everything they’ve been asking. It could ruin his reputation by labeling him a snitch, but he really didn’t have a choice, considering the Hell Breathers are panicking. Someone is feeding them intel. We need to find out who. For them to know so much about us, they’re in contact with clients or someone inside the club. Nothing directly links their questions to Benny, but it has to be him.”
Rush cracks his fingers. “I suggest you let me have first stab at that interrogation when we narrow down the suspect pool.”
I snort derisively, but the look in his eyes tells me he’s serious. He’d probably be the one to send them to.
“They’re all yours.” I wave my hand for emphasis, and a cold smile curves the corners of his lips.
“How do we keep this all below Herrin’s nose without letting him sniff it?” Sledge asks, clearly shifting his loyalties from Pop to me.
Doing this divides the club. Doing this is borderline treason amongst our crew. Doing this will change everything.
“You know Herrin won’t let us handle this the right way. He’s only concerned with self-preservation right now,” Rush quickly points out, as though he’s adding a little extra incentive to keep everyone in this lane. “He might even make a deal with the Hell Breathers behind our backs to ensure peace, since your girl was obviously not the peace token she was presented as. Benny has gotten ballsy, and he’s got someone smarter calling the shots now.”
I take a steadying breath, preparing to do something I never thought I would—turn on my father.
“We handle this quietly. Pop isn’t here much. It shouldn’t be hard. We’ll send all his loyalists to live with him if they feel like leaving their lives in his hands. But I have a feeling he lost more than he realizes tonight.”
Rush glances at Sledge, but Axle speaks before he can.
“That’s what happens when you leave your son blind to a slaughter. They all know it could have been any one of them, but for Herrin to risk sacrificing you, his own son… It tells them he’s not looking out for anyone but himself. There was no good reason for us not to know.”
Dash speaks for the first time since I saw him at the hospital. “And he caused conflict amongst our group. Even went so far as to put Drex’s girl under suspicion. He’s still doing it just to throw heat off him for what he did. Herrin has gotten shady.”
“He’s been shady,” Rush mutters, not looking at me. “You’re all just finally fucking seeing the truth.”
The feds are closing in, Hell Breathers are finally seeking revenge, and Pop just pissed off the only people he had at his back.

I’ve been pacing Drex’s room for hours. They’ve been downstairs, talking about the attack for a while. It makes me nervous.
I haven’t forgotten they were threatening to kill me not too long ago. I also didn’t miss the
