ill, or going through a rough spot in their lives, but kids made her cry.
    The chubby young man sitting with his feet propped under his chair untangled himself to stand in front of the door. He looked her up and down suggestively, and she cocked an eyebrow at him. “Really? I will turn around and leave the same way I came into this place, and it won’t hurt me a bit.” She leaned toward him, “If you think you will get away as easily when they find out one of the Bugs turned me away, you can kiss your ass goodbye. Move.”
    He stared at her for a minute and decided she looked harmless enough. She was a good looking older bitch, but from the looks of her kit, she was genuine. He nodded his head and stepped aside.
    She stepped into a new addition to the old clubhouse. The stainless steel furnishings and bar were all modern, and gave the impression of coldness. She didn’t like the room, but then she wasn’t planning to be a frequent visitor here either. She sat at a table in the corner of the room to observe the people coming and going, from the buffet of pizza and burgers, salads and fruit, to the bar, getting beers and soft drinks. She placed her saddlebags on the chair and walked to the food. She hadn’t bothered to stop to eat on the way, and she was hungry and thirsty. The bartender looked at her in puzzlement, but handed her a longneck, which she promptly drank down almost nonstop. When she nodded at him again, he shrugged and set another up for her. That one went back to the table with her and she sat by herself eating and watching the people, half of whom she’d never laid eyes on before.
    Charlie told her the other club patched over to the Burning Bastards. Seeing one of the faces that were at the meeting that night made her heart lurch, but he wasn’t an enemy. She zeroed in on one of the men that had hung with Dorsey back in the day. He either didn’t recognize her, or was ignoring her presence and that was fine with her. There was a small commotion at the door and all eyes watched as the Prospect that had been tending the post skidded on his back a few feet into the room. He was out cold, and she wondered who had the power to hit the Bug hard enough to make him slide that far.
    The biggest man she ever saw in her life stomped through the door with Demon, Knight, and Charlie right behind him. He was at least a head taller than Demon, and as wide in the shoulders as his companions. He was handsome in a very rugged way, but the sneer on his lips gave him a cruel look. If they’d met in her bar, she would be enjoying some seriously erotic dreams about this guy. Even in the bar, she would flirt and joke, a man like him was her kind of guy, and she would have to keep her wits about her. He might be her idea of a damn good time, yet she knew he would freak if he saw her scars. He scanned the room until he saw her, and then he crooked his finger in a come here gesture.
    She frowned, but decided to humor the behemoth. Snagging up her bags, she hung them over her shoulder, and took her time walking over the span between them. “Yes?” She wasn’t about to let him know she was intimidated if she could help it. The rules, remember the rules. You came voluntarily, under your own steam. Unless you break the rules, they can’t do a damn thing to you . You owe them nothing. The pep talk helped her strengthen her spine and appear to be relaxed.
    “I’m glad to see you could join us, especially after such a long absence. You have some explaining to do, but I want to know what I’m dealing with.” He spoke to a man she hadn’t noticed come into the room behind the rest of the mountains of muscle. “Donnie, get me the kid.” He kept looking down at her and didn’t seem to blink.
    Donnie came back with the little whirlwind boy that almost ran into her earlier. He looked tired, but he was smiling. “Hey, Big Dog, did you see all the cool stuff I got for my Happy Birthday? I did what you told me to, and said thank
