Mia grabbed the money, her bag, and was out of the car. She looked at Nate and
he waved her over.
    “ They ’ re going to stash your car, ” Nate said. “ So nobody can find it. As far as
anyone is concerned, you ’ ve
vanished. ”
    “ He
wants this, ” Mia said. “ Uncle Jake wants this. This
doesn ’ t make sense. ”
    “ It
doesn ’ t have to, ” Nate said.
    He turned off the engine and
climbed off the motorcycle. His hand slid around her waist and he started to
walk.
    “ Come
on, ” Nate said. “ We have to talk to Miller. ”
    Mia stutter stepped and watched
everyone staring at her. Guys sitting on motorcycles, smoking cigarettes. Guys
sitting on tables, drinking beer. Everyone dressed in leather and looking angry
as fuck.
    Gaige and Griffin were in a heated
conversation. Griffin waved his hands, constantly pointing at Mia.
    “ He
hates me, ” Mia said to
Nate.
    “ You
lied, ” Nate said. “ Everyone hates you. You have no
friends. ”
    “ Christ.
Can you be any meaner? ”
    Nate stopped and pulled at Mia. “ Do you think this is a fucking
game? ”
    “ I
never …”
    “ Yeah,
me either. This is where you are right now. You want to end up dead? I ’ m not going to apologize for
what your uncle is doing. He ’ s
going to be killed. That I can promise you. But this goes deeper. There ’ s another crew involved. There ’ s local law enforcement
involved. You being here is you being protected. Unless …”
    Nate turned his head. So did Mia.
She spotted Miller standing at the clubhouse door, arms folded. His eyes - even
at a distance - made Mia shiver with intense fear.
    With Nate ’ s hand spread across Mia ’ s lower back, they approached Miller. For every
ounce of fear in Mia ’ s body
there was a heat spreading from where Nate touched her. She hated to feel
turned on right now. But when she looked at Nate, she felt safe. Comforted.
Protected.
    Then again, when she looked at
Miller …
    “ What
the fuck were you thinking? ” Miller growled.
    Mia stood frozen again.
    “ He ’ s talking to me, ” Nate said.
    “ Both
of you, actually. ”
    “ Look,
this is getting out of control, ” Nate said.
    “ I
agree, ” Miller said. “ Maybe it ’ s time we just put a bullet in the back of her head
and send her back. ”
    Mia felt her knees buckle.
    “ Her
uncle wants her to investigate us, ” Nate said. “ We can play
this thing …”
    “ He ’ s having another game, ” Mia blurted out. “ He told me. An underground game.
Like he does. That ’ s why I
usually come here. ”
    Miller stepped toward her. “ He has no idea you were kept
here last night? ”
    “ No, ” Mia said. “ I told him I followed you out of
town and you met with other guys. ”
    “ He
thinks we met with another charter, ” Nate said. “ So he thinks we ’ re gearing up. ”
    “ Meaning
he ’ s lead to believe maybe
you remember everything about the attack? ” Miller asked, staring at Nate.
    “ I
guess. ”
    “ That
could work, ” Miller said. “ He thinks that. Talks to Jerry.
The Coast Road bust today …” Miller looked at Mia again. “ You ’ re sure about this game? ”
    “ He
said so. ”
    “ When? ”
    “ I
don ’ t know. ”
    “ Why
the fuck were you running? ”
    “ I
wasn ’ t …” Mia sucked in a breath.
    “ Miller,
you have to cut her a break …”
    “ No, ” Mia said. “ He tried to touch me. And I ’ m pretty sure he killed Jacob. ”
    Miller raised an eyebrow. “ The kid that Jace helped? ”
    “ Yeah. ”
    “ And
your uncle tried …”
    “ He ’ s my step uncle, technically. ”
    “ Even
still, ” Miller said. “ Fuck. ”
    “ Yeah, ” Mia said. “ Fuck. ”
    “ She
stopped and we brought her here, ” Nate said. “ I know tensions
are high as hell, Miller, but we have to think straight. ”
    “ Okay, ” Miller said. “ I ’ ll
give her a pass again. But she ’ s
back in the hole. ”
    The hole.
    Mia shook her head.
    “ Come
on, ” Nate
