she?”
     
    “Look, man!” Charlie ran a hand over the edge of his desk as he kept it between Riley and him as if he wanted to make sure that there was enough distance between them.
     
    It didn’t matter, though. Riley could lunge across the desk and grab him at a moment’s notice. He wasn’t willing to take this shit anymore. If Charlie didn’t give him the answers he wanted, he would make sure he regretted it. Riley was prepared to go to the police and turn this matter over to them if he didn’t find her. She was important to him. He loved her. Now that they weren’t together, he realized that his heart was in her hands. Without her, he was nothing. She was the love of his life, and he’d already screwed up enough times. He couldn’t afford to make matters worse. When he found her, he would tell her everything he knew and beg for forgiveness.
     
    He would tell her that she was his sun and moon, and he wanted to spend his life with her. But, in order to do that, he had to find out where she was. And Charlie was going to help him discover that, whether he wanted to or not.
     
    “You look here now,” said Riley in a voice that brooked no argument. “If I don’t find her, I’m going straight to the police and then we’ll see what you guys know.”
     
    “Don’t threaten me.”
     
    Riley banged his hands on the desk. “Then don’t push me so hard. Where the fuck is she?”
     
    “You are crazy. Why are you throwing away your career with the Devil’s Mafia Brotherhood over a woman?”
     
    “She isn’t just a woman, Charlie. Where is she?” he yelled. “And why the hell did that warehouse blow up?”
     
    “The board is happy with your work, Riley. You found that place. It was a good location…but our interests lay in it for other reasons. You don’t know it but the club had run into a lot of financial difficulties. We needed money, and we needed it fast. So someone came up with a scheme.”
     
    Riley took a seat. He knew he wasn’t going to like what he heard. There was something fishy about this whole thing. He’d been feeling that way for quite some time, but it was silly of him not to trust his own feelings. If he’d asked the hard questions earlier, this might not have happened. “What’s that got to do with Tania?”
     
    “Listen to me.” Charlie breathed a sigh of relief and took a seat opposite Riley. “Okay, I am going to tell you this straight out. We blew up the warehouse because of insurance. All the papers were signed and now we’re going to get a lot of cash from the insurance company because the property is legally in our name.”
     
    Riley felt as if his mind shut down. He couldn’t think, couldn’t concentrate. He didn’t expect this. How could they do something so illegal? Had they gone mad? How desperate was the club to earn money? He never realized that this could be the problem. He had assumed that the explosion at the warehouse was an accident. “You guys are insane. We could’ve died.”
     
    “You weren’t supposed to be there. The way we’d planned, it was empty at that time. I don’t know what you went there for, and it’s damn lucky that you both survived or else we would’ve been embroiled in a murder investigation,” said Charlie.
     
    Riley was amazed that he could be so selfish at a time like this. “My bike didn’t survive.”
     
    “I am sorry to hear that.” Charlie’s smile was cold. “Sometimes you have to make the hard choices. We didn’t want to let you in on the secret because you weren’t ready to deal with the implications of it.”
     
    “What does this have to do with Tania?” As soon as he found her, he was going to get clean away from these people. There was no way he could hang out or work with them now that he was privy to their underhanded ways. He didn’t join the biker’s club for that reason – and he didn’t want anything to do with this. Of course, he could go to the police but it wouldn’t serve any
