bottle.
    "What?" I asked, leaning back in the seat.
    "Tomorrow, gonna have church with the rest of the crew, but wanted to let you know. We got someone on the inside of Venom again. Someone who wants a clear passage into Hawks when the time comes and someone whose dad is on the run."
    Shit. The only fucker whose father was on the run was Jerimiah, club name Fang. Switch, his dad, used to be Venom's club prez until the club kicked him out, and then we'd told his woman about Switch havin' a taste for teenage girls. He never went home after the meeting Dodge had with him at our compound. Instead, he took off and was no doubt with Baxter.
    "You trust him?"
    "Yeah, Parker reassured us Fang wants out of the dirty play. Never wanted in it in the first place, but Switch wouldn't let his son slide by."
    "Nary's sorta dating him," Billy said.
    Fuck.
    "How's Vicious takin' it?"
    "Actin' like he don't give a shit. But we all know he does."
    "That kid needs to pull his head outta his arse," Dodge grumbled. We all agreed. No one knew why Saxon kept his distance when he had such a boner for Nary. We knew he'd take care of her well, but he wasn't taking the chance. Fuckin' messed up, especially when Nary loved him like he was the last man on earth. Guess she was movin' on.
    "Keep me updated on all the shit," I demanded.
    "'Course. You're still our third, brother." Dodge gave him a chin lift.
     
     
     
    The few beers I'd had the night before gave me a headache the next day. But fuck, it was worth it. Hanging with my brothers was just what I needed. It'd been a hell of a long time since I'd had the chance to sit around and just shoot the shit. Things were goin' well for all of them, though it took Josie a while to get back to herself after losing Simone. They'd been close, and Josie had already been through so much. It was lucky she had my brothers’ love to get her back to normal, somewhat anyway. I knew she'd still be hurting on the inside.
    Everyone was still keepin' their ear to the ground because of Baxter Davis. The dude had a hard-on for Dodge, and Hawks in general, and wanted to fuck the club up in some way. Stupid cockmuncher was out there, and we all knew he was just waiting to make a move to fuck us over in some way. Didn't stop us seeking out our own retribution. Dodge had men searching for the fucker every day. Good we had someone on the inside of Venom again. We were sure some of the fuckers in there still listened to Baxter's whispers.
    It was another reason why I felt as though I had to distance myself from my brothers, which felt like a shit move. But Koda was my main priority, and I'd make sure he wouldn't be touched from the crap goin' down, and if Baxter showed to my house, I'd take him out. That was also why I installed cameras outside and an alarm in every fuckin' corner of the property, so I knew if someone got close.
    Slipping out of bed, I dressed and headed for the kitchen, knowing my son would wake soon for food and a bottle before playtime. I switched on the coffee maker and got his meal ready before my phone started ringing.
    "Yo," I answered.
    "Morning, my boy. I know it's early, but I've already had five calls from women about the job. I'll text you the details of their appointments, and then I'll be over after."
    "Sounds good, Mum. Thanks."
    "No problem and try not to scare them too much."
    Chuckling, I said before I ended the call, "I'll do my best." I wasn't making any promises, though. They'd know just who they were dealing with when it came to me and my kid.
    The first one showed five minutes late. Not a good sign. I'd just finished feeding Koda, and he was sitting on the floor with some toys around him when she knocked on the door. I opened it to find a woman in her forties. She had a smile on her withered face and wore a long flowing dress with a cardigan.
    "Mr Brooks, I'm Zoe Smith. I'm here about the job as nanny and housekeeper."
    Stepping back, I gestured for her to enter. She swept in and made a
