“What's the name of the firm and is there more than one Mr. Miller working there?” Viper asked me.

“The firm's name is Jerik, Miller and Courtway, Attorneys at Law. And, I'm not sure if there is another Mr. Miller there. I never thought to check. But I know the one that Bri heard was a senior partner there.”

Viper nodded at me.

“Have you contacted anyone in the area since you've been back?” a man seated a couple of seats away from the Prez asked.

“No. I didn't really have many friends here anyway. So, since I've been back, I've tried to make sure I didn't go to any of the places that the people I used to know hung out.”

“Does your family know what you're wanting to do?” a man down the table asked me. I was pretty sure he'd been in the military, he had that hard edge to him. I would bet anything he’d been an Army Ranger.

“There's only my mom. And although she's dating, I don't know the man and haven’t told him anything. I also haven't come right out and said what my plans were to my mom, but I think she knows that I want this fucker dead. Brian's family wasn't from here either. Brian was actually an only child and his parents have passed away in the last seven years. Mom lives in North Carolina. That's where I went when I left here.

“Bri and I met at college. He was a senior while I was just a freshman. He had put off his biology class because he said he hated anything related to science, that's where we first met. We started dating and we got married after I graduated.”

The man smiled briefly at me. These guys didn't talk much. I kinda liked that.

“Since I've been back, I've gone to the cemetery once, back in March. And I've made sure the places I've lived in are away from other houses. I'm currently living in a dump of a trailer and the closest neighbor to it is a quarter of a mile away. I've tried not to stay in one place more than a month at a time. I've done my very best to be discreet.”

I watched as nods went around the table.

“You've played it smart,” Seer said as he stated his approval of my actions.

“I've tried. Truthfully, I've been hunting you guys. I remembered the colors’ emblem but couldn't remember the rocker name of the club or where the MC was from. I didn't know what kind of MC you were, but something told me that I had to find your Prez. I don't know if I would have made it, if he hadn't talked to me the whole time he carried me out.”

I laughed a little. “I've been calling him my biker hero,” I informed the group of men as I turned to look at their Prez. I observed a surprised expression crossing his face. Chuckles from some of the guys echoed around the room.

“Any other questions, Brothers?” he asked them.

I glanced around the guys and saw that they were all shaking their heads.

“Ava, I have one last question. Would there have been anyone else that would have wanted to kill you all?”

I shook my head, “Brian had only worked there for six months and hadn't encountered any other situations of that type. Everything had been going smoothly at his work. I was teaching kindergarten, and I'm pretty sure I didn't have any parents mad at me. Even from the time we dated, we kept to ourselves most of the time. He was my best friend and I was his, we pretty much spent all our time outside work together,” I said as I looked at the Prez.

He nodded at me.

“Ava, gonna ask you to go wait out at the bar. I'll be out to talk to you in a little bit.”

I swallowed hard and stood up, “Thank you all so much for hearing me out.” I said to them, then turned and walked out of the door and made my way to the bar to wait. I just prayed they decided to help me.

“What do you think, Brothers?” I asked as I leaned back in my chair.

“Are we sure the person who ran her off the road even worked for this lawyer?” Ranger asked.

“You had to be there, Ranger. That vehicle deliberately forced the car Ava was in off the road. It was so obvious a blind man could have seen it,” Blood commented.

Several heads nodded in agreement, including mine.

“Yeah, Brother. Someone deliberately tried to kill all of them. That was plain as day,” I told Ranger, who lifted his chin at me. “It would have had to be someone who felt that either Brian or Ava needed to be taken out. And I agree with her, who would want to harm a kindergarten teacher? I know all we have is just her word to go on, but something in my gut is telling me that this Miller was the responsible party.”

“Well, I know I haven't been here long and I don't know this woman at all, but she deserves justice and we all know that there is no way seven years later that she could get it from the cops,” Viper said. “If I've spoken out of bounds, I apologize to you all. But if the club decides not to help her, I will personally make sure the motherfucker is a dead man.”

“I don't think you have any worries there, Brother,” Hoss spoke up. “His days are numbered. I don't think a man sitting here doesn't want to help her out.”

Every head at the table nodded in agreement to Hoss's statement.

“So we're helping her. No question about that. But are we just going to take him out? Or do we try to find out about the drugs? I know we've tried to watch out for that shit some, but we haven't gone hardcore at it. That's the decision we need to make. Also,
