Someone was filming.Bull cursed.That video will be online by morning.Kid in the snow.President under a bike.Whole pack rolling in.Whoever cut that line will be watching.Ava’s stomach turned.So I am a target too.Reaper looked at her.You were a target the second they realized whose daughter you are.They did not just want me off that road.They wanted to make sure the right name never stepped back into our world.Fear rose in Ava.Then anger rose with it.People she had never met had been trying to erase her before she had even understood the story.What do we do, she asked.First, Reaper said, we keep you alive.No highways alone.No full name outside this room.Bull gets you set up.Then we find out who cut that line.Quiet.Careful.We do not give them the war they want.We give them something worse.Ava did not ask what worse meant.She saw it in their faces.The next hour changed everything again.As Bull led her out of the hospital, Ava’s phone buzzed.She expected nothing.Maybe the battery finally dying.Instead, an unknown number lit the screen.We know where you are, Wright.The words froze her in place.Bull saw her face and took the phone.His jaw turned to stone.Change of plans, he said.You are not sleeping alone tonight.The clubhouse sat behind a motorcycle repair shop on the edge of Billings.It was a low cinder block building with barred windows, security cameras, a fenced compound, and the tired look of a place that had survived more trouble than it would ever explain.The inside was warmer than Ava expected.Wood paneling.A long bar.A pool table.Leather couches.Coffee burnt too long in the pot.Men stood when Bull brought her in.This is Ava, he said.She stays here tonight.Anyone got a problem with that brings it to me now.No one spoke.A younger biker with a patch that said Rabbit offered her a small smile.Fridge is fair game, he said.Ava nodded, too exhausted to answer properly.Bull walked her to a small room down the hall.A bed.A dresser.A lamp.A barred window.Clean sheets.It was more than she had had in days.Lock the door, Bull said.Do not open for anyone but me or Bones.If something feels wrong, yell.Half the club sleeps here.They will hear you.He paused in the doorway.Your old man would be proud, kid.What you did tonight.Then he left.Ava sat on the bed and pulled out Danny’s photograph.Her brother’s face smiled up at her with missing teeth and syrup on his chin.Wherever he was, she hoped he was warm.She hoped he was not scared.She hoped he still believed she was coming back.Her phone buzzed again.Ava nearly dropped it.This number was different.Local.Is this Ava Wright.This is Katherine Brennan with Montana Child Services.I need to speak with you about your brother Daniel.Please call me in the morning.Ava stared at the message until the screen went black.Then she lay down fully dressed, holding Danny’s photo against her chest.Morning came too bright.Bull knocked and entered with an egg sandwich and coffee.Reaper woke up about an hour ago, he said.Stable.Doctors think he can go home in a few days if he behaves.Ava tried to smile.Then Bull nodded toward her phone.Call the social worker.Ava dialed with trembling fingers.
