“Did you send the files back to him?” Luke asked in disbelief.

“Absolutely. I knew if I wanted to find a way to take him down and save my own life, I had to be patient, but I kept the one that will destroy him. It’s not enough to destroy the club, though, and that’s the bigger picture for us. The Widows need to be taken down, but we have to do it right, or the next jackass in line will just build it back up.”

“Do you have enough now to take down the club?” Luke inquired.

Bear glanced my way before he spoke up. “We’ve spent the last almost four years gathering evidence to turn over to the police. We want the Widows shut down as much as anyone, but there is only one way to do that, and it’s giving the police enough to actually make arrests and weaken them. We haven’t overlooked anything and have interrupted every shipment across the border that we can by tipping off gangs, including the Diablos who are all too happy to piss off the Widows. They’ve been fighting over territory for a while now.”

“But it’s not enough yet, is it?” Luke concluded.

Bear shook his head. “No, not yet.”

“Where is Nick in all of this?” Cam asked, and I cringed. Nick was Cam’s friend and had been his partner in the FBI while Cam worked undercover investigations. The FBI had been watching the Widows for years, and when they needed someone to do an undercover stint in the local chapter, Nick signed up. The idea being that he could begin to dismantle them from the inside out, but we knew he was doing shit for them that he wouldn’t recover from, and we knew he had no choice if he wanted to keep his identity a secret.

“Nick should’ve never been sent in.” Bear frowned. “I told all of you that you should’ve talked to us before he made that move.”

“There wasn’t time,” Cam said. “Someone had to go in.”

“It was the wrong move,” Bear stated again. “He’s in now, and there’s only one way out for him.”

Cam gritted his teeth. “We need to tear down this fucking club.”

“We don’t have enough yet.” I reiterated.

Jax lowered his head. “Fuck.”

“What do we need?” Pike inquired.

“We need Snake,” I answered.

“Why?”

“Snake’s a powder keg,” I answered honestly. “Can’t keep his mouth shut when he’s challenged, backed into a corner, or just pissed. He could give us most of what we need to bring down the club and the icing on the cake is we’d have that bastard. We could finally make him pay for his crimes against Maggie and you, Luke.”

“Do you think Snake’s in Colorado?”

I considered that before Bear spoke. “He couldn’t have ridden there, though. It’s too far. They would’ve gotten him before he crossed the state line.”

“If my father was involved, there would have been a plan to get him out of North Carolina before he grabbed Maggie. My father’s not usually sloppy, and he would never want any shit falling back on him. Especially shit caused by a woman.”

“Unless they figured out Maggie was a narc,” Jax suggested.

“And that she was hiding with you,” Brody added.

“We’ve been careful,” Bear defended himself and the club.

Brody shook his head and looked at me. “Brother, if what you’re saying about your father is true, then there isn’t a doubt in my mind that he’s had eyes on you since you drove away from their clubhouse.”

“I know he has. Hell, they set up the Widows clubhouse in town after I moved here and joined Bear, but he would’ve had Maggie killed if he knew she was the narc,” I stated bluntly.

“Then what’s the game? Is Snake that important to the organization that your father would risk moving him across state lines?”

“Snake’s a good soldier, and he’s proven that. He’ll do anything, follow any order, all in the name of club life. My father wouldn’t want to lose someone who follows orders and shows that kind of loyalty.” Bear nodded his head in agreement when I spoke.

“Have we considered Snake’s orchestrating something of his own?” Luke offered. “I’m guessing he got his road name for a reason.”

I hadn’t considered that. In my mind, everyone was following my father’s orders. Was there a chance Snake was vying for something, maybe a position in the club?

“I don’t think we need to find Snake.” Brody spoke up suddenly.
