Jeremy rubbed his hand over his face and exhaled sharply. He glared at Kaci for a moment and turned around, not knowing how to feel. Part him wanted to let go of this protectiveness over her; she was an adult, and I’m sure they both needed to breathe. But, on the other hand, she wasn’t giving him the full truth. That he knew. He saw Tallis run after Black, and he squinted his eyes in suspicion. [i]”If I found out that that fucker Cameron had something to do with this…”[/i]

Solomon was able to see Kaci briefly before she left. He could tell she was upset, not sure if it had been caused by Tallis or Jeremy. He kissed her and held her for a moment before she drove off.

The free hour went by quickly, and all the members filed in for their impromptu meeting Black had called. Unlike the usual loud conversation before the meeting began, everyone took their seats in complete silence. There was a lot of mystery surrounding the surprise raid, and the members seemed to be on edge. It had been a while since they had to deal with cops, seeing as they paid off most of them to look the other way. 

Black slammed the gavel into the long, wooden table and cleared his throat. “I know that the cops showing up today was enough to make us all a little uneasy. Fortunately, Tallis is here to enlighten us.” The outlaws began to mumble among themselves as Tallis entered the room. Jeremy caught her eyes for a moment before looking down and reaching for a cigarette. He was still in Vice President mode, and the raid and Kaci had gotten to him. He took a deep breath, waiting for Tallis to begin.
