The storm hadn’t stopped since nightfall.

Rain slammed the roof of the safehouse, drowning out most of the noise inside.

Cole moved through the halls with a flashlight and a knife on his thigh, every sense on edge. He’d already torn apart half the compound, but his gut told him they were missing something. Every time he thought about those transmitters blinking red from the walls, he felt sick. It wasn’t just betrayal—it was invasion. Someone had been listening while they slept, while they fought, while they bled.

He walked deeper into the halls, the floor creaking under his boots. The farther he went, the more it felt like every betrayal was still haunting these halls. Torque. Barker. All of them. He wasn’t sure how many more cracks the club could take before the foundation finally gave out.

He entered the back hallway, the one leading to the storage basement. The place smelled of oil and damp wood. He crouched beside a stack of boxes, and ran the flashlight along the seams. A faint

  • Steel and Sin   097 Into the trap

    A few hours earlier, the safehouse had snapped into action the moment Nolan agreed.Boots thudded down the hall. Guns were checked. Knives sheathed. Maps folded. The rain had eased, but inside the compound everyone woke to the real storm.Ashley stood at the table, staring at the map Nolan had marked in red… the coordinates, the tunnel, the decoy route.Her job.Bait.She swallowed and steadied herself.Cole paced like a caged animal. “This is bullshit. She shouldn’t be the one out front.”“She is the only one Delgado will focus on,” Jax countered. “It is smart.”“That is what I’m afraid of,” Ace muttered.Ashley lifted her chin. “We don’t have time for this. Hammer does not have time for this.”Nolan stayed silent, studying the map. Every muscle in his body looked painfully tight.Finally, he spoke.“We move in ten.”Ace threw his hands up. “TEN MINUTES?! She needs prep—gear—backup—”“I have got all of that,” Ashley snapped. “What I need is for you to stop treating me like I’m going

    The fight was over only because Delgado’s men had pulled back—not because the Vipers had won.Inside the safehouse, everyone moved like they were half-awake and half-ready for round two.Ashley wiped dirt and blood from her arms as she stepped into the main room. Ace was trying to restart the broken cameras. Jax wrapped a bandage around his arm. Cole paced in tight circles. Nolan stood at the window, staring into the trees like he was waiting for them to move.Ace glanced at Ashley. “Cameras are still down. I need an hour.”“We don’t have an hour,” Nolan said quietly, still staring outside.Ashley frowned. “Why?”Before he could answer, Jax’s phone buzzed.He checked the screen… and went completely still.“Prez,” Jax said. “Look at this.”Nolan took the phone. Read the message. His whole body tightened.Cole stepped forward. “Boss?”Nolan’s voice came out rough. “It is Marco Delgado.”Ashley felt her stomach twist. “What does he want?”Nolan held up the phone so they all could read th

    Ashley sprinted across the yard, boots splashing through mud, rain dripping from her hair. Ace shouted updates into her earpiece.“Movement on the east side! Four trucks—no plates. Heat signatures are climbing.”“How many?” she panted.“Too damn many,” Ace snapped.Jax’s voice came through next. “Positions! They are breaching the outer gate!”Ashley slid behind a stack of boxes and crouched. The entire compound vibrated as something heavy slammed against the front gate.Cole yelled, “They are ramming it!”Nolan’s voice boomed, “HOLD THE LINE!”Ashley peeked out just in time to see the gate burst open—wood flying, metal twisting, headlights flashing through the rain.Delgado’s men rushed in.Masked. Armed. Fast.Gunfire erupted instantly.Jax fired from the roof. Cole and Nolan ducked behind overturned bikes, firing back. Ace’s voice hit her ear again, quick and tense.“Ash—west alley! Two coming right at you!”She spun… and froze.Two men turned the corner with guns raised.“Ashley Sm

    Detective Ramirez hadn’t slept in thirty hours.Rain fell heavily on the roof of the federal field office, lightning flashing every few minutes. Inside, agents rushed around with ringing phones, buzzing phones, and glowing screens full of maps and intercepted calls.Ramirez ignored all of it.He stared at the flash drive Ace had given him—the one that blew open his whole investigation. Delgado’s accounts. Fake aid shipments. Dirty officials. And the audio clip that wouldn’t leave his head.“You think I burn one block and stop?”Ramirez rubbed his face. “Where is the ATF guy?”Right then, Agent Price walked in. Tall, neat, stiff. “Detective. We looked over your evidence. It is… enough to take interest.”Ramirez scoffed. “That means you don’t believe me.”“No,” Price said. “It means we will move… if you can prove the intel is current.”Ramirez slid a folder across the table. “Coordinates hit forty minutes ago. Delgado’s men moved product through the storm. Exactly where the Vipers told

  • Steel and Sin   093 Vipers

    The rain still hadn’t stopped.By morning, the compound looked half-submerged—mud swallowing the tires, smoke drifting from the generator shed. Jax leaned against the doorway, cigarette burning low between his fingers, watching the storm turn everything gray.Cole and Nolan were still checking the perimeter.Ace was buried in the camera feeds.Ashley hadn’t left the laptop since cracking the coordinates.And Jax… couldn’t shake the feeling of the inside threat in the club.He turned at the sound of boots in the hall.“Morning, boss,” said Mitch, one of their oldest sergeants. Been with the Vipers longer than Jax had scars. Broad-shouldered, quiet, and steady—the kind of man you didn’t question. Until now.Jax took a drag. “Have you been up all night?”Mitch nodded. “Made the rounds. The north fence is fine. South camera is still fried, though.”“Yeah, I know,” Jax said flatly. “You were supposed to fix that yesterday.”Mitch hesitated. “Didn’t have the parts.”“Bullshit.” Jax stepped
