teeth so hard. He didn’t like him calling her a bitch either.
“We have a job for you anyway. So it’s good you stopped here before you headed back to the farm. We found a man who might have information on the person causing us so much trouble at the farm. He’s here and we need your skills. We tried to break him, but it seems he needs a firmer hand.” Bone said, switching gears so fast it would have made his head spin if he didn’t know him so well.
Fuck, he hated that his father, a former Navy seal who’d handled black ops before the storms had taught him ways to make a man talk that could make your guts turn inside out. He didn’t like doing this shit but sometimes it was necessary. He sighed, nodding. Bone and Tank talked to them for another few minutes before they walked back into the clubhouse.
“Well, I hope helping that woman doesn’t come back to bite you on the ass. What the hell man?” Tick said with a slight chuckle. “Never known you to be a knight in shining armor before.”
Ratchet wanted to knock the man upside his head for reminding him how out of character it had been for him to help Mia.
“Shut up, asshole. I was only trying to calm everyone down.”
“That only cost you a thousand credits. Fuck maybe you can get the woman to give you that blow job next time.” Tick said laughing. He walked into the clubhouse ignoring the asshat. He needed to go torture a man into talking and for the first time in his life he was in a hurry to do it. If for no other reason than that he didn’t want to hear any more bullshit about his stupidity.
Four days after the incident with the bikers at the food intake plant she was no closer to getting more food for the rebels than she had been. She wanted to scream. They’d had three other deliveries from another local farm that brought eggs and another biker gang that brought fish. She’d talked to that biker’s leader, but he’d been uninterested in selling more goods to her. He’d considered her like she was a bug when she’d suggested it. He’d been called Death Rider, so she tried not to take it personal. She had a feeling the man was just not very trusting.
He’d likely thought it was a nefarious plot to get him into trouble. Not that she knew how he could get into trouble for it. The farm that supplied the eggs had told her that it wasn’t possible because they didn’t have any more eggs to sell. Her last hope was Ratchet’s gang. If she couldn’t do this the legal way she would have to start stealing more goods. That would make her look suspicious.
She sighed as she walked into the home she shared with her parents and her brother. Her mother was standing in the living room on a halo call with her father.
“Sorry, darling. It can’t be helped. The council meeting has run long and it will be another hour possibly two before I make it home.” Her father was saying.
“It’s fine, Hilroy. I was planning to go out with Hilena anyway.” Her mother told him smiling.
“Ah, hello there, Hilmia. Still enjoying the big promotion?” Her father said beaming at her from the halo vid screen that filled one wall.
“Of course, Papa.” She told him her lips turning up in a fake smile. Mia knew that her father would not be happy if he knew the real reason she was working at the plant. At least this week Hilconn and Thomas were working another gate. She’d actually liked Robert who was working the food intake center with her this week. Although, she didn’t like Vickers who was working with them.
“I’m so proud of you, darling.” Her father said making her feel guilty. Because if he knew the truth he wouldn’t be saying this to her. It made her feel like an imposter. Only she knew that no matter what happened she wouldn’t change who she was. She couldn’t.
“Yes, darling we’re so very proud.” Her mother seconded.
“Thanks, mom. I have to meet some friends at the restaurant in an hour. So, I am headed up to change and get
