he said with a snort of amusement. “You have a lot of enemies here…” he leaned back and crossed his arms over his chest, “But as I said before, you also have a few friends left.”
    “Why have I been brought here?” she asked. “If it’s not to kill me… what is the reason?”
    “Pay back,” he said matter of factly. “The Iron Riders have really fucked us over… And now it’s our turn to shake things up their end… Get under their skin… Make them suffer…” he trailed off and looked past Destiny as if he was thinking of something in particular.
    “Well I hate to disappoint you,” she said. “But I don’t think taking me away is going to have the desired effect.”
    “Aren’t you Lev’s woman?” Hawk asked with confusion.
    “I suppose you could call it that,” Destiny rolled her eyes and lay back against the mattress. Just the mention of his name was bringing her migraine back, and she really didn’t want to talk about him.
    “Elaborate,” Hawk said as he pulled the chair forward, closer to her. It screeched across the floor and the sound made her wince.
    “I don’t know what to tell you,” she whispered. “But the whole thing… the accident at Red X… me being there in the first place… all of it was them . I didn’t want to do any of it…”
    “Go on…” Hawk raised his eyebrows.
    She didn’t know even where to begin without it just sounding as if she was trying to offload an excuse. How could she explain how she had been broken down by the men of Ironhill and scared into acting as their puppet… Hawk, being as strong as he clearly was, surely couldn’t and wouldn’t understand what it was like being a woman in this kind of situation.
    “I met Lev when I arrived in Ironhill,” she said as she looked across at him. “I thought he was great at first… but it wasn’t long after he managed to convince me to move into their clubhouse that he started to change.”
    Hawk snorted as if he knew the scenario all too well. He nodded and urged her to continue.
    “He treated me like a slave, and then so did the others… I was like a maid to them all… but then things started to get worse.”
    She swallowed and blinked back tears as the memories came flooding back.
    “He kept me there like a prisoner… And he knew how to scare me… I haven’t had a life of my own since I met Levitt… I’ve become a ghost of the person I used to be.”
    She felt the tears roll down her cheek and she noticed that Hawk was looking at her sympathetically.
    “But you still did their dirty work?” he asked.
    “All I did was what they forced me to do,” Destiny said with a shrug. “They told me I had to apply for the job at the club, make sure I got it, and then feed back any information that may be of an advantage.”
    Hawk snorted and clicked his teeth. He clearly didn’t like that admission.
    “But,” she continued. “I never did… I never did tell them anything… I knew deep down that I’m not that person. I was so afraid of them, but I made friends here in Slate Springs… I cared about the girls at the club… Hell I even cared about Marv. I had no idea what the Iron Riders wanted to know, but I was sure I wasn’t going to tell them…”
    “But you told them Tanner was going to be at Red X with Marv on the night he was killed?” Hawk said with a snarl.
    Destiny shook her head.
    “No,” she said. “I didn’t.”
    She watched him for a moment, letting it sink in to him that she was as lost in all of this as he was.
    “I didn’t know the Iron Riders were coming that night… and I certainly didn’t know Tanner was going to be there.”
    “So you didn’t pass back any information?” Hawk asked sternly.
    “Not one thing,” she admitted. “All I did was work there and give them lame pieces of info about how pervy Marv was and about how he didn’t have much clue about running a business.”
    “So how did they get in?” he asked.
    Destiny looked down at the floor and
