“He thinks everyone is scared of him,” Sabrina explained. “Because he was in an outlaw MC.”
Rachel snorted while Callie laughed.
“Sure, we’re scared,” Rachel said, patting her son’s back. “I’ve probably killed more men than Sawyer.”
Rachel went there often. It was a bit intimidating. “Okay, so how do I get him to understand he’s not unwelcome?”
A long look passed between Callie and Rachel.
“I think the men of the town will have to do some of the work,” Callie replied. “You do what you have to do to get Sawyer to see how nice it would be to have people in his life. And the best plan of action is having sex.”
Rachel smiled. “A lot of sex. Oh, and if you can do the whole ‘I don’t care about labels or stuff’ thing, it drives men like Sawyer crazy. If you convince him you do not care about locking him down, he will be so desperate to be locked down.”
“I would normally say Rachel is wrong, but I know Sawyer, and I think it’ll work on him,” Callie agreed. “He can be contrary.”
She wasn’t sure what they meant by the men having work to do, but she did agree Sawyer could be a little perverse.
The good news was she could talk to Wyatt about it. He hadn’t wanted to leave Sawyer behind. He’d been all in on the Sawyer could join them in bed idea.
Her date this evening was going to be interesting.
Chapter Nine
“I don’t think it was the generator going out.” Cameron Briggs looked down at the laptop on Wyatt’s desk.
Wyatt was starting to get a nasty feeling in his gut. Something wasn’t right. He could feel it.
“But it did go out.” Sawyer stood in the doorway. He’d been on edge ever since the sheriff and Deputy Briggs had driven up, but he was more chill around the deputy. The sheriff was currently talking to Joe and Lark about what they’d seen when they’d gotten to the bar this afternoon.
Briggs had checked out the security system. “Yes. Someone fucked with it. It’s got some wires cut.”
Sawyer waved him off with a sigh. “Nah, it’s freaking raccoons. They love to chew on anything they can find, and given how cold it’s been, it’s not surprising they found a way in.”
“Did they grow opposable thumbs and learn how to use wire cutters?” Briggs asked.
“I assume not,” Wyatt said, ignoring Sawyer’s perfectly normal explanations.
“What?” Sawyer strode away, obviously going to check on the generator.
“Joe must have missed it.” Wyatt pulled up the security records. Briggs was excellent with a computer, from what he’d heard. The deputy had been a white hat hacker for most of his adult life.
“It would be easy to do since the wires they snipped were interior.” Briggs stepped in front of Wyatt’s desk. “Do you have any footage from yesterday? Anything right before the cams went out?”
Wyatt pulled up the security system. He was good with a laptop, too. It was the one thing his father had been willing to let him study when he’d shown some talent. He’d been allowed to take some classes, and they’d brought in a hacker to teach Wyatt how to do various jobs that would help the club. He knew how to change records and steal money. How to launder money.
Sabrina knew all of those things in an academic fashion.
How would she handle it if she had to really face what he’d done in the past?
“I looked through it, but I couldn’t find anything.” Going through the footage they did have was how he’d occupied himself most of the afternoon.
“They had to be inside to take out the generator,” Briggs pointed out. “Sawyer was smart. He brought it inside a couple of years back because Maurice kept knocking into it. He doesn’t like the sounds it makes when it’s running.”
Wyatt wasn’t certain they should give a moose so much power, but here he was. He found the footage he was looking for. “Are you going to try to figure out who broke in? I thought we needed a police report for insurance purposes. Joe thinks it’s probably some kids.”
“I’m not so sure about it,” Briggs said. “Kids wouldn’t be so thorough about covering their tracks. If it was someone who got stuck, they wouldn’t want the cameras off. They would want the security system to trigger because it would mean someone would come looking and rescue them. They would also likely be around. You know I had a thought.” He pulled his radio out. “Hey, Gemma. Could you pull up the highway cams from yesterday around four p.m.? The cams going from Bliss toward Hell on Wheels. Sure thing. Thanks.”
“That will be helpful.” Wyatt was impressed with how thorough they were being. “We can see who was in the area at the time. But I still think this is kids. Or assholes who realized no one was watching the place. They did steal the money from the cash register.”
