Gypsy's Sin [Wind Riders MC]

Chapter 37

Cynthia woke to Gypsy's ring tone at four in the morning.

"Yes? Gypsy?"

"Where are you?"

"Spending the night with James, where are you?"

"About to come up to the house. After that I'm going to Mexico to drop off a young lady named Sibel, who was kidnapped and wants to go home."

"Oh. Um, speaking of the house, we had some visitors yesterday."

"I heard, and I heard they were all dead."

Cyn bit her lip, "Yes, all dead. But the house, is well... I had to use the hand grenade in the night stand at the bottom of the stairs, so watch for the hole in the floor there, and I had to fire an Uzi through the bathroom wall into the stairwell. Also the concussion grenades I took off the bad guys, and set off on the patio, broke just about every dish you own and most of the widows and — stop laughing James this is serious — anyway Gypsy, it's a mess. Oh and all of the guns laid out on the bed, those are mine. So is the cash and jewelry on the pool table."

"So, to sum up," Gypsy said, "You wrecked my house, and spent the night with another man."

"Ah, after having sex with a woman this morning, yes," she added.

"I see, and how are you going to make this up to me?"

"I was thinking of the same thing you got Wednesday night, only with more enthusiasm on my part."

"I'm on speaker phone dear," Gypsy interrupted, and Cyn heard the sound of girlish giggles.

"Then I'll check and get back to you, dear"

They said good-byes and she broke the connection then slapped James on the arm, "Shut up! Can we go yet?"

"You and Daphne are having sex?"

"Yes," she sighed, "but if you tell anyone, I'll poke your amazingly sexy ass with a pin and not even feel bad about it. Not even a little."

"Mums the word," James said. "And yes, I think we can sneak out of here now, or at least give it a try."

He used the night-vision goggles and headed down the trail again, onto the main fire road and then out to 98. There he removed the goggles and turned on the lights. Cyn called Knight to report they were almost there.

Knight and Boston are waiting, and she gives them both a hug, and then loaded her new toys into the Hummer before getting in.

"Wow, twenty-four hours and I've gone from freelance editor to fucking Rambo," she said to Boston as she jumped into the passenger seat — Knight already choose to sit in back with James.

"Any word from Gypsy?" Knight asked.

"Yes, and all good words," Cyn told him. "He made a date with me tonight at his house, so maybe it's even better than we hoped for, since he doesn't feel the need to bug-out today."

"That sounds very hopeful, yes," Knight agreed. "Where is he now?"

"On his way to Mexico to drop off a girl who was kidnapped. I don't know the whole story on that, but apparently it is highly important," Cyn reported.

"Well, with border crossing traffic, he probably won't be back until noon, so tell him we'll get together tomorrow to debrief and figure out our next steps," Knight told her.

"Will do," Cyn told him. "Boston? Could you drop me off at Daphne's place? I want to check in on her and relieve Sally."

"Don't see a problem with that," Boston agrees. "Do you think she'll want to go for a ride on Saturday?"

"Yes Boston, I do. And I think you should take off the knit-gloves with her. She's a big girl," Cyn told him.

"Well, she's been through a lot —"

"Yes, she has. Hence the Big Girl title. She can take it. I think you should take her for a ride straight to your place, carry her over the threshold and straight into your bedroom," Cyn told him.

"And from Rambo to Dr. Ruth," Knight laughed.
