a fucked up mission. I
blame myself. ”
    “ Why
you, bro? ” Shay asked. “ What did you see? ”
    “ I
saw weak prospects, ” Trev
said. “ I should have popped
the trunk and killed Emilio myself. ”
    “ That
wasn ’ t command, ” Gaige said.
    “ Fuck
command, ” Trev spat.
    The table instantly tensed up.
    Miller looked at Trev. “ Maybe you haven ’ t looked at yourself in the
mirror lately, Trev, but you ’ re
wearing the cut. You have a title. A purpose. You take direction. ”
    “ Your
direction was wrong on this one, Miller. I ’ m
sorry. ”
    “ Jesus, ” Blaine said. “ Okay. Shit got fucked. Now we
fix it. ”
    “ He ’ s right, ” Miller said. “ I
put too much into those two idiots now chained up. Because of their actions,
they left a goddamn blood trail right to the car and right to this table. It ’ s only a matter of time before
Ethan bursts in with a warrant and does all but search our assholes for something
to connect us to it. It ’ s
been quite lately and this is going to stir the pot. ”
    “ So
then they die, ” Trev said. “ Kill them both. Make it look
like retaliation from Eight Under. Push it on the other MC. ”
    “ And
start that war? ” Erik
asked.
    “ What
war? ” Shay asked. “ They ’ re weak and beat up. Peddling bags of heroin
around, trying to collect on dollars. Fuck them. ”
    “ If
they ’ re that weak, won ’ t it look suspicious? ” Landon asked.
    “ Then
what do we do? ” Trev asked. “ If those prospects are let
go and live … they ’ ll rat. They ’ ll never make the cut. ”
    “ Is
this how you dealt business back east? ” Nate asked, staring right at Trev.
    “ Yeah,
it is, ” Trev said. “ Only we didn ’ t have leather cuts keeping us
warm. We didn ’ t have
direction. We followed our hearts and our balls. You got a problem with that,
Nate? ”
    “ Fuck
you, Trev. ”
    “ Fuck
all of you, ” Gaige
bellowed. “ This isn't
personal. This is business. We have to keep our noses clean with Ethan. We can
fuck with him, but we have to stay clean on things. There ’ s plenty of noise in the other
charters if anyone feels like a transfer. ” Gaige looked at Trev. “ If
not, then we tackle this problem. ”
    “ They ’ re the example, ” Miller said. “ They couldn ’ t take direction and they have
to go. ”
    “ So
we just murder prospects? ” Nate asked. “ You know how
many times we ’ ve all fucked
up? ”
    “ Not
like this, ” Trev said.
    “ The
crime scene … , ” Miller shook his head. “ I talked to them both. They
cried like babies over it. They jumped Emilio after he escaped and stabbed him.
They fucked everything. You put on the leather cut, patched in or prospect, and
you know the fucking risks. ”
    “ Aye, ” Shay said. “ Then we do what Trev said. Set
it up. ”
    “ Not
Eight Under, ” Gaige said. “ Landon had a point about their
weakness. ”
    “ Coast
Road, ” Jace said.
    “ Those
fucking meat neck fucks? ” Blaine asked.
    “ Dump
the bodies in the water, ” Trev said. “ Let the tide
bring them in. It ’ ll be a
message from us to them. ”
    “ What
message is that? ” Miller
asked.
    “ Whatever
you want to tell Ethan. My advice? We approach Ethan and say that we have two
prospects that took off. Went rogue after we confronted them talking to another
crew. ”
    “ That ’ s risky, ” Gaige said.
    “ The
bodies wash up and makes our story believable, ” Trev said. “ Best case,
Ethan believes us. Worst case, he doesn ’ t,
but at least the evidence is all gone. ”
    The table was silent.
    Miller slowly sat down and grabbed
the gavel. “ It could send a
clear message to the other prospects around this fucking place. The last couple
years have really gutted us. We need to step up and put some fucking warriors
in this clubhouse. ”
    “ So
we ’ re voting on it? ” Blaine asked.
    “ What ’ s your rush? ” Gaige asked. “ Getting thirsty again? ”
    “ I ’ m always
