of the room with Nikki. She simply flipped the bird at them in response and headed over to Tex.

    Tex stared out the window at nothing. He was hung over but more than that he was hurting. He was hurting because someone had hurt the woman he loved and there wasn’t a damn thing he could do about it. And now he was the one causing her hurt and he hated himself for it. She didn’t need the bullshit he was putting her through. He’d caught her eye for a moment and he’d seen the confidence and calm returned to her. She was carrying herself tall and facing outward for the first time instead of being hunched inward. He wanted that look to stay there.
     
    He felt Nikki’s presence but didn’t acknowledge her as she sat next to him.
    “Hey,” she greeted him softly.
    Time to grovel.
    “I’m sorry,” the words he’d been thinking tumbled out of her mouth.
    “What for?” he asked in surprise.
    “For driving you insane, for dodging you, for hiding shit from you, for everything.”
    This was not what he was expecting at all.
    “You don’t need to apologise Ace. If anyone owes an apology it’s me. The things I said and the way I’ve been acting,” he paused trying to gather his thoughts, “I just can’t stand sitting around doing nothing. I need him to pay for what he did, to pay for hurting you.”
     
    Nikki’s hand came up stopping him in his tracks.
    “I can’t rehash that shit Tex. It’s in the past and that is where I want it to stay,” the determination in her voice came through loud and clear, “You need to let it go, for my sake.”
    That last little comment was meant to be the crusher. For her sake. He would do anything for her and he knew that she held that knowledge firmly in her palm with that comment.
    “I understand that it’s hard for you to do that but it is the best thing for everyone, you, me, the club, that all that shit stays right where it is and never comes up again.”
     
    It drove him mad not to be able to put his hands on that sick bastard and torture him. He wanted to make that asshole scream the same way Nikki had when Doc had treated her back. He could still hear her agonizing cries. The sound was burned into his memory forever.
    “ You want to bury it? Fine, but I’m telling you now if I even suspect that something like this is happening again, there will be no way you can stop me from taking care of shit.”
    And he meant that shit. Nikki nodded in response.
    “Right, you two done the whole kiss and make up thing?” Trace asked as he approached them.
    “No kiss yet but there’s plenty of time for that later,” he replied, winking at Nikki, “right now I think we need to get Ace up to speed with club business.”

    Nikki breathed a sigh of relief as Tex changed the subject. When she approached him she couldn't get a read on his mood. The minute his gaze locked with hers she knew how she needed to approach him. Sure he'd hurt her and she could see the remorse in his eyes but she could also see the hurt and anger there. She'd dragged them along on this rollercoaster right alongside her. While she didn’t expect those feelings to disappear straight away she knew that acknowledging how she wronged them was a good way to start.
     
    "You've been missing a lot of action Baby girl. The last few shipments have picked up tails and we've had to make some major changes to the trucking routes. They've fired a few shots but nothing successful."
    Tex took over, "They're testing us, looking for weak spots. So now we're not just putting on extra protection we're also having to scout ahead of the run and man the route itself. We don’t seem to be able to shake them."
     
    Issues with the shipments had started after Sheila had been killed. The brothers had been attacked by a group of men not long ago, a premature attempt without a lot of thought or success. Maybe they were trying to steal the guns for sale. Maybe they
