club house with King and he had introduced her to Reid, one of the oldest members of The Forsaken Riders.
“He’s so sick, Tam,” she said with a sniff. “But I’m just glad I got to meet him and we’ll have some time together… I’ve been robbed of so much.”
Tammy rubbed her arm sympathetically. She knew how much this meant to her friend, and she was so pleased for her that she was getting to spend some time with her father before he passed.
“And I believe you have news…” Lexi raised her eyebrows and Tammy blushed immediately.
“Well…” she trailed off.
“I can’t believe you’re digging one of the bikers!” Lexi slapped her hands together ecstatically. “I never, not in a million years, thought that you would end up getting mixed up with those type of guys… Not that I can talk!” She burst out laughing and smiled.
“I know, it’s crazy,” Tammy admitted. “I never thought I would, either… But there’s something about him, he’s just so different.”
Lexi’s eyes fell to the floor, and she looked uncomfortable for a moment. Tammy picked up on it instantly and grabbed hold of her hand.
“What are people not telling me?” she asked seriously.
Lexi looked up at her again and went to open her mouth to speak, but no words came out.
“Lexi,” she shook her slightly. “What happened to him? Why do I get the feeling that something terrible has happened, and I’m being kept in the dark?”
Lexi sighed and rubbed her temples.
“I don’t really know how to tell you this,” she said heavily. “I mean, if it was anyone else, I don’t know, I think maybe they could handle it, but I’m not so sure about you…” She trailed off and looked into the distance.
“Lexi,” Tammy said angrily, “you can’t keep something important from me… I have a right to know, if I’m getting involved with him. I’m already in way too deep!” She got to her feet and stood in front of Lexi confrontationally, like if she wasn’t going to tell her, she was ready to throw her out.
“He told me about his past…” Tammy tested the waters. “About the foster homes…and about how The Forsaken Riders are the only real family he’s ever had…”
Lexi pulled her knees up to her chest and sighed.
“Yes,” she said. “From what I’ve heard, that’s right.”
Lexi was still not telling her something, and Tammy knew she was going to have to force it out of her.
“Listen Lexi, you’re like a sister to me. So why the fuck this is taking you so long to spill is really lost on me…” She crossed her arms over her chest and breathed in deeply.
“He just got out of jail, Tam!” Lexi spat the words as if she couldn’t bear to say them, and they were so venomous and harsh, they felt like a punch in the chest.
Tammy shook her head and rubbed her eyes.
“Jail?” she asked with disbelief. “What for?”
“For murder, Tammy… Lynx has been inside for over ten years, and he just got out.”
The whole bottom of her world seemed to drop out in that instant, and she gripped to the side of the couch for support.
“You must have it wrong,” Tammy said as she sat back down next to her friend and put her head in her hands. “How could he have done something so terrible?”
Lexi shook her head and bit her bottom lip.
“King doesn’t think he did…” she trailed off. “He wasn’t part of the riders back then, but apparently he’s protecting someone.”
Tammy’s head was spinning… If what Lexi was saying was true, Lynx had just spent over ten years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit.
“This is too much to take in,” she said and she realized she was shaking.
“He’s not a bad guy, Tam,” Lexi said sadly. “And I didn’t want to tell you because I didn’t want to ruin this for you…”
Tammy could feel the tears coming, and she covered her eyes and started to sob.
“How could I even consider taking this any further?” she cried. “I’ve never even left
