agreed with what we were doing anyway.”
     
    She placed two sandwiches on the table, along with a bag of corn chips and pops. “So why did you do it, then?”
     
    “Because those guys were my friends. I knew what was going on, we all did, but most of us never handled the drugs. There were only about fifty brothers who were actually directly involved, none of who are still in the club.”
     
    “What did you do?”
     
    He finished chewing and swallowed. “I was in charge of logistics. I made sure our guys were in the right place at the right time to pick up and deliver the merchandise. Tom Bickers was the Secretary and handled the money. Anders modified the Cartel’s cars, truck and vans with hidden compartments. We had brothers who worked as lookouts, riding ahead of, and behind, the mules so we avoided, shall we say, legal entanglements. We had a bunch of brothers who had nothing to do with the drugs at all.”
     
    “But you did?”
     
    “Yeah, indirectly. I used my cut to start my own business.”
     
    “You have your own business? Doing what?”
     
    Kade snickered. “Would you believe I own a drilling company?”
     
    “Are you kidding me?”
     
    “No. The difference is I’m small and I drill for water.”
     
    Winter looked Kade over. She still wasn’t pleased he was part of a club that ran drugs, but he wasn’t like she imagined a drug runner to be. Except that he rode a motorcycle instead of a horse, and wore a leather vest with a black and red raven on the back, its talons extended and its wings spread wide, she could seem him as a cowboy. He was tall, at least six-two, and well-muscled. His jeans and shirt fit him just right, and she liked his piercing blue eyes, blond hair, and strong cheekbones and chin. She also liked that he carried himself with a quiet confidence, as if he had nothing to prove. She also appreciated that he hadn’t tried to hide what they did, and answered her questions openly and honestly.
     
    “How many in your club?”
     
    “Twenty-two.”
     
    “Only twenty-two? From the way you were talking, it sounded much larger.”
     
    “Then it was much larger. Over two-hundred.”
     
    “Where’d everybody go?”
     
    Kade looked at his sandwich and placed it on his plate. “Some are dead. A few left. Those who remain, the final twenty-two, are the locals, the men who had put down roots.”
     
    She could sense there was more than he was telling, but decided to let it pass for now. “Where’s home?”
     
    “Rio Bonita.”
     
    “Never heard of it.”
     
    “No reason you should. It’s about an hour north and west of here. A nice little place of about five thousand.”
     
    “And what did Rio Bonita think of what you did?”
     
    “They didn’t know.”
     
    “What do you mean they didn’t know? How could they not know?”
     
    “Because we made sure to keep the drugs away from town. Exchanges were always done out of town, and while I’m sure there were and are drugs in town, they’re brought in from outside because we controlled the transportation of the drugs in this part of the Texas. We made sure there were no dealers in town.”
     
    “I don’t get you at all.”
     
    “What’s to get? Drugs are a nasty business. We don’t want that in our town, so we kept it out as much as possible because we had the means to do so. Still do.”
     
    “So you’re drug runners, were drug runners,” she corrected, “but you didn’t let drugs into your town? Kind of a not in my backyard thing?”
     
    Kade shrugged. “The drugs are coming into the country if we move them or not. They were coming in before we took over the transportation, and they’re still coming in now that we’ve stopped. By controlling the flow of drugs, we could steer it around the town, so we did.”
     
    She frowned. This wasn’t anything like she expected. “How are you controlling the drugs now?”
     
    He snorted. “Let’s just say we have a gentleman’s agreement with Cartel and
