Ava forced her hands still.Your father destroyed my family, Garrett said.Sent my brother to prison on a lie.Michael Wright told the truth, Bull said.Your brother murdered a man.Garrett smiled.That is your version.He turned to his officers.Search everything.They tore through drawers, toolboxes, shelves, and lockers.Ava stood frozen as one officer called from the corner.Chief.We got something.He held up a plastic bag with white powder inside.Garrett turned back to Ava.Well, well.Looks like methamphetamine.Whose locker.That is Ava’s, Bones said slowly.But she did not put that there.Garrett took out handcuffs.Ava Wright, you are under arrest.This is a plant, Bull said.You brought that in.Prove it, Garrett replied.He grabbed Ava’s arm and twisted it behind her back.Metal closed around her wrists.Bull moved forward.Bones caught his shoulder.Not like this, he whispered.This is what he wants.Ava’s heart hammered so hard she thought it might crack her ribs.If she had a drug charge, the state would never give her Danny.I did not do this, she said.Garrett leaned close to her ear.Your father took everything from me.Now I am going to take everything from you.The holding cell smelled like urine, bleach, and despair.Ava sat on the bench for four hours with her head in her hands.No one explained what came next.No one asked whether she was hungry, cold, or scared.She was just another girl in a cage, waiting for the system to decide whether she mattered.When the door buzzed, Bull entered with Jordan.You okay, Bull asked.No, Ava whispered.Jordan sat beside her.Tell me exactly what happened.Ava told her about the raid, the officer at the locker, Garrett’s threat, and the drugs she had never seen before.Jordan wrote everything down.This is good, she said.How is any of this good.Because Garrett overplayed his hand.He is angry enough to be sloppy.Bull crossed his arms.We pulled security footage.Shows Garrett’s officer going to that locker fifteen minutes before they announced the search.No warrant at that point.He put something inside.Jordan’s mouth tightened into a smile.Then we have him.They posted bail that evening.Ava walked into the cold air feeling like she had been underwater for hours.Back at the clubhouse, Reaper waited in his wheelchair.He looked stronger, but his face was grim.Garrett came after you because of me, he said.Because of your father.That makes this club business.He pulled an old envelope from inside his cut.The paper was yellowed.The edges were soft.The seal looked as if it had waited seventeen years to break.Your father left this with me, Reaper said.Told me to open it only if his family was ever in danger.I think that time is now.Inside were a cassette tape, a stack of photographs, and a letter.Reaper handed the letter to Ava.This is yours.Her hands shook as she unfolded it.The handwriting was careful.Ava, it began.If you are reading this, you found them.Bull and Reaper.The brothers I chose when I could not stay with the family I was born into.I did not leave because I did not love you.I left because loving you meant keeping you alive.The men who wanted me dead would have come for you and your mother if I stayed.So I disappeared.I became someone else so your name could stay clean.I am sorry I was not there to teach you to ride a bike, scare off bad boys, or walk you through all the hard days.But I made Bull and Reaper promise that if you ever needed them, they would be the fathers I could not be.Trust them.Be strong.Be kind.All my love.
