Daisy laughs. "No way, I feel like absolute crap Sea, and having that blue jelly shit on me just makes me feel worse; all sticky and stuff,” she says, making a face at me.
"You may feel like that, but I promise you that you're looking like a nice slice of cheesecake." Daisy busts out laughing, and I can't help but feel my heart swell at all of this. It’s like I am living in a dream. I, the bane of my rich father and MC oaf, have landed a beautiful princess, and now we're going to be a family. It doesn’t get better than this.
When we pull up to the club, I am hoping there are plenty of people to shout the news to, because I do not think I can hold it in that I am going to be the proud pops of a little boy, a little boy who is going to look like his hot, beautiful mother, Daisy.
I take her hand and walk inside to find at least the most important members in there together. They look kind of tense, but I ignore it, too high to be dragged down.
"It's a boy!" I yell and am greeted with pats on the back and congratulations. But Daisy isn’t so fooled by the sudden burst of happiness in the room. She is going to get to the bottom of the sour look on everyone’s faces.
Dais turns to Reed. "What’s going on. Ya'll look like somebody died," she asks. I hate that she is killing the mood, but as I look at Reed, I can tell something bad has happened while we were gone.
"Spit it out, Reed, what the fuck did we miss?" I ask, feeling damn concerned now. It isn’t him who answers, though. It’s his wife.
"Dais, Sea, I don’t want to burst the good vibe, but something has happened," she says. Dais looks at her, and I help her into a seat. I don’t want my Dais to get some bad news and faint or something. It’s my jib to make sure she’s taken care of as well as that baby inside her. "You know Kyle went to Vegas to blow off some steam, well, we found out that Kyle has been arrested."
"For what?" I ask, not sure what it could be that would be so bad she couldn’t get him off. She is fuckin' FBI after all.
"He woke up with a dead girl in his hotel room," she tells us, and my jaw almost hits the fuckin' floor. What the hell is going on? "He has been booked and charged with murder."
"What the fuck, Reed, do you really believe that shit? Kyle is a lot of things, but a murderer? He would never murder a girl in cold blood!" Daisy screams, standing up in a tizzy. I settle her back down, sitting next to her and pulling her into my arms. I do not like the way any of this shit sounds. I don’t think the ass would just kill some girl either.
Reed finally lifts his head to talk with us. "I agree, Dais. I don’t think he could do that either. But Elena has been on the phone this whole time, getting as much intel as she can. The evidence is damning," Reed says, looking drained and defeated like I have never seen my Prez before. Not only is Kyle his VP, but he is his blood brother. I can’t imagine what he is feeling right now.
"Elena, did he do it?" Daisy asks in a weak voice, beginning to cry. I hold her tighter to me.
"The evidence is on point, Dais, it’s perfect, I can’t lie about that," Elena admits, but I see something in her eyes as she paces the floor and taps her foot that tells me there is more to this shit story. "But I don’t think he did it either. I don’t like him, but I don’t see him as a murderer. Besides, evidence is rarely so cut and dry," she announces. I could see those wheels turning in her brain. If anyone could figure this out, it would be Elena. Then, Elena suddenly looks up at Reed. "Could the cartel be behind this, Reed?" she asks. My ears are fuckin' perked up at that theory. "Think about it," she explains, going back to pacing. "They came and shot up the bar but nothing else happened. It’s like they've been gone for months, and we thought they forgot about us or were trying more indirect strategies to get at us. But I don’t think it’s ever that simple..."
"And now Kyle’s paying the price," I say, as my Babygirl’s eyes go wide in horror.
"How are we gonna get him out of this?" she whimpers.
Elena shakes her head. "I don't know, Dais, but I am gonna keep trying."

DEDICATED TO JENNA
Yep, you didn’t read that wrong.
I’m dedicating this book to you, my twinnie! We always made jokes about how I named Jenna after you, it was pure and complete coincidence, but I knew – knew from the VERY second that your amazing butt came into my life that this would be dedicated to you. She’s the fiercest, most powerful, bad ass bitch I’ve ever written. So, basically, she’s just like you!
