Josie

Cami flipped down thevisor in the passenger seat and put lipstick on. Josie turned on the blinker and drove onto Bitmore Street.

"Do you know what time the party started?" Cami sat back and put her makeup in her purse.

"No, Chrischris just said to show up." She looked at the speedometer. "Are you sure you want to go?"

"I think so." Cami looked forward out the windshield. "I owe them for saving me."

She kept her opinion to herself. If anyone owed Tarkio, it was her. If she'd worked anywhere else, Tarkio would never have known she went missing. She owed Banks for telling his motorcycle club and whoever was responsible for figuring out where she'd gone. She also owed Paco for fighting with his club to go back and rescue Cami.

If she would've known how everything would turn out, she wouldn't have fought with him about letting her do the job on her own. It turned out that Paco was more than capable of taking care of Askook and his men. But, she hadn't known that at the time.

"We won't stay long." She turned down another street, within two blocks of the clubhouse.

"What did you say the man's name was that asked us to come?"

"Chrischris."

"Hm." Cami pressed her hand to her stomach. "I don't remember who that is. Was he one of the men who raided the casino?"

"I don't know. I think it was just Paco who went in."

"I was pretty out of it." Josie shook her head. "I don't want to talk about that anymore and ruin the night."

She nodded. There wasn't much they could say about that night.

The crimes that were committed would never go away. Paco had taken a life, and she was afraid there would be many more lost. The Blackfoot council couldn't turn a blind eye to what their own people were doing under their noses.

Pulling into the parking lot, she looked for an empty space. There were more motorcycles than the one time she'd been here.

"I'm going to leave my purse in the car." Cami slid her bag under the seat. "Are you taking yours with you?"

"No." She shut off the engine. "I guess we just walk in."

"Are you nervous?"

"A little." But, not for the reasons Cami suspected.

She had no idea what to say to Paco if he was here. She also wouldn't want him to think she was stalking him after having sex with him. The only reason she came was because Cami wanted to take up the invite after she mentioned Chrischris asking them to the party.

"Do I look okay?" Cami blinked, holding her eyes wide open.

"Beautiful." She smiled, knowing Cami spent most nights pacing the floor because the bags had taken up permanent residence under her eyes. "We'll stick together."

"Do you think it's safe?"

"You're asking me now?" She squeezed Cami's arm. "Yes, I think it's safe. They all helped us, right?"

"Right," mumbled Cami.

They got out of the car. She locked the doors.

The front of the clubhouse opened, and a few bikers strolled out, spotting them. Recognizing Curley, she raised her hand and smiled.

He stayed back and held the door open for them. "Nice to see you both."
