Zero and Beauty's Breath (A Satan Sniper's Motorcycle Club Series Book 3 - 4) novel Chapter 18

He leaves me in the basement and I start putting the chairs back. I feel more shitty than I did when I got here.

Kylie is the one thing I know Killer loves in his own fucked up way.

The one thing we all know he cares about and now she is gone because he couldn't trust us. He sent Beggar there, to Kylie, the one he trusts. I say this in my mind as the pieces to this puzzle fit.

Killer must have known Beggar would leave. It all makes perfect sense now. Him leaving the day Beggar put all the men on the ground with darts. Kylie coming around.

Though he said he didn't know she was coming, how could he not when he had Aron.

Like a fucking card game, Killer secured Beggar's escape. He was securing her a backup plan if we turned, which we did.

His words ring in my head, "Beggar is part of my club. she has my protection." It has played on my mind for months now.

I leave the basement, running up the stairs. The pain in my body is nothing to the adrenaline spiking my veins as I rush through the house.

Ignoring all the brothers AND women giving me -' what the fuck happened' expressions, I go from Killer.

I walk right in front of him as the brothers come closer and begin to quieten. Killer sits comfortably on the sofa with an ice pack on his eye.

"You from National aren't you?" I ask him but it isn't really a question.

He smiles when I say this, freezing me in place with his soulless depths, it is so cold.

"Leave us," he says to the guys and they all go.

Knight looks at me with pity shaking his head.

"Yes,” Killer says.

"Why, why hide it, why do all this? Lie and pretend you a Road Captain from the Mother Chapter, then lie again, tell everybody you're soldier here. Why the trouble in keeping it under wraps from even us? What position are you Killer."

"Two years back Snake and I became members of National, we wanted the ride and life that came with title. River was the one who brought us into the club, so when he vouched for us it sealed the deal. They patched us in as National. My rank in the government has earned me a lot of respect amongst our people, so when they needed a Vice, they voted me in. I agreed. Not long after that Snake found out some of the club secrets were sold to people on the black market. At first, we thought it was Knight 'cause of his connections to the Catellis but it wasn't him, it was someone higher up, someone who knew a fuck load more than just a soldier. Club then lost a big chunk of change. Snake and I both have more than we can spend in ten lifetimes, so we decided to cough out the money and replace it, so it raised no suspicion from the other Chapters. Knight was crossed off the list as we found out he ain't hurting for cash either. So we dug deeper and started crossing out names. Mercy and After were our informers, both women are loyal. So we grew suspicious when our trail led us back here to Kanla. Most of you are special ops so we know you aren't desperate. But others raised our flags. So I decided it was time I take a closer look. Turned out our suspicion was correct."

"Rounder," I say and I can't believe it.

He is the only one here high enough, the only one who was desperate for extra cash because of his medical bills.

But why didn't he just ask us?

Why would he do something like this? FUCK. His daughter, what will happen to her? I care about Falon.

She is a good woman.

I care about Rounder, the guy earned my respect as River earned Killers.

He was the reason I came to Kanla. The reason Knight, Spade, Texas, and Storm followed us to Kanla, fuck.

We trusted him, we followed him through fucking Operations that weren't even authorized.

And Falon, she wouldn't join The Satan Snipers as a member. She's always been a daddy's girl. This is going to kill her.

"I know what you thinking and don't. Falon knew. We plan on leaving her be, but Rounder.” Killer shakes his head, as he places the ice pack on the armrest.
