Monk (Royal Bastards MC : Sacramento Book 3)(2)
Author: Winter Travers

“How is she?” Memphis demanded. “Can I go back and see her?”

Six-Gun put his arm around her shoulders and tucked her into his side. “Calm down, babe,” he whispered to her.

“What happened?” Raelyn asked.

I held up my hand. “She’s stable. The doctor is saying she overdosed.”

“I still can’t believe that,” Six-Gun spat. “Memphis and I talked to her before she went back to her office, and there was no possible way she was high.”

I shrugged. “I’m just telling you what the doc is saying.”

“What did she take?” Raelyn asked.

I ran my fingers through my hair. “She said she grabbed some Tylenol from the dressing room, and then she woke up in the ER. She doesn’t remember anything in between.”

“I still don’t understand how the hell this happened. Who the hell would bring drugs into the dressing room?” Playboy questioned.

That was what I was still trying to figure out myself. “Maybe what she thought was Tylenol wasn’t really Tylenol, and instead, it was one of the girls' stash.” She had said she grabbed something for her headache, but who’s to say one of the girls hadn’t brought drugs with them to work? Putting them in a Tylenol bottle would be a pretty inconspicuous way to do it.

“But how would that happen? I really doubt Mitzy would just grab some random bottle and down a few pills,” Memphis snapped.

I held up my hands. “I don’t know what the hell happened. I’m just telling you what I know. Mitzy was shocked as fuck when I told her she overdosed. I may not know her extremely well, but I don’t think she’s into drugs, either.” I nodded to Playboy. “I want you to go to the club and look around. Six-Gun gave all the pill bottles to the cops, but I want you to see if there is anything different.”

“Different how?” Playboy asked. “I can go, but I don’t know what I’m looking for.”

I sighed and glanced over my shoulder at the swinging doors to the ER. I closed my eyes for a second and then turned back to Playboy. “I don’t know what you’re looking for either, but just look.”

“I’ll go with you,” Memphis volunteered. “I’ve been back in the dressing room more than any of you guys.”

“Tank might actually be the one who’s been back there the most,” Rebel muttered.

Memphis rolled her eyes. “I’m pretty sure he wasn’t really paying attention to anything other than Rain.”

“And I think you’ve been back there just as much as he has been,” Playboy jested.

I nodded to Rebel. “I want you to talk to all of the girls. If one of them brought the pills, we need to know.” Since we had turned over all of the pills in the dressing room to the cops, we might be dealing with some trouble if they find drugs that shouldn’t be in the bottles. If we were able to find out what happened before the cops did, we might be able to head off the bullshit at the pass.

Rebel nodded. “I’ll get Mace to help.”

“You and Tank used to be connected at the fucking hip. You let Rain come between the two of you?” Six-Gun asked.

Rebel grunted but didn’t say anything.

Right now, I didn’t have the energy to care about what happened between Tank, Rebel, and Rain. “All right by me that Mace helps. The sooner we figure out what the hell happened in the dressing room, the sooner we can get back to finding Barracuda.”

“Can we see Mitzy?” Memphis asked again.

I shook my head. “She’s sleeping right now. I’m going to stay with her through the night. I’m hoping by morning she’ll be able to be discharged, and we’ll get the hell out of here.”

Memphis’s face fell, but she nodded. “I guess if she is out by morning, I can wait to see her.” She laid her head on Six-Gun’s shoulder. “Just make sure she’s okay, Monk.”

“I plan on it.” I nodded to them and slipped back through the swinging door.

When I stepped back into the room, the nurse logged out of her computer and looked up at me. “You’re back.”

“She wake up?” I stepped to the side of the bed and looked down at Mitzy. She normally had an air of badass confidence about her, but now she laid in the bed, asleep and looking fragile as fuck. Even when she had woken for a couple of minutes, she didn’t seem like her normal self.

“She slept the whole time. Even when I put the blood pressure cuff on her.” She stepped to the door and smiled. “I won’t be in a for a bit unless you need me. She really just needs to sleep right now.”

I nodded and sank in the chair I had pulled next to the bed. “I’ll hit the call button if she needs you.”

She opened the door. “You should try to get some sleep, too. You can’t take care of someone else when you aren’t taking care of yourself,” she called softly. She stepped out and closed the door quietly behind her.

I sat back in the chair and kicked out my feet in front of me. I wasn’t going to get much sleep in this hard as fuck chair, that was for sure. I grabbed the remote to the TV and turned it on.

Some late-night infomercial played, and I turned down the volume. Mindless TV would be my company for the next couple of hours while Mitzy slept.

Mitzy needed sleep. And I needed to figure out what the hell had happened to her.

I wasn’t going to rest until I did.

Chapter Two

 

You did what…

 

Mitzy

 

“I called an Uber.”

Monk stared at me. “Come again?” he growled.

“I called an Uber to take me home. You don’t need to be watching over me. I’m fine.” I shoved my foot into my boot and stood. “Well, I actually texted for an Uber.”

I had been discharged ten minutes ago, and I was ready to get the hell out of here.

“I don’t give a fuck if you sent some fucking smoke signals to get an Uber, Mitzy. I wanna know what the fuck you need an Uber for.”

I picked at the stickiness left on my arm from the IV tape. “I need it to go home, Monk. As much as I enjoyed the gourmet cooking this morning, I think I’m gonna duck out of here.”

“Yeah, you’re going home, but it sure as fuck isn’t going to be in the back of an Uber.” He stood and stepped toward me. The toes of his boots bumped against mine.

I tipped my head back, and my eyes connected with his. “You mind telling me why you’re standing so close?”

“Trying to figure out where the hell you keep all of this attitude in your small body.”

I rolled my eyes and planted my hand on his chest. I pushed, but he didn’t move. “You think you can get out of my space?”

He stepped back but kept his eyes connected to mine. “You’re not going anywhere without me, Mitzy.”

“Well, I mean, if you want to take my Uber with me, you can, but how are you going to get your bike home?”

“You’re coming home with me, and you can cancel your Uber.”

I pursed my lips and tipped my chin up. “I’m gonna give you a little clue, Monk. I’m not into someone telling me what I’m going to do. Especially someone who doesn’t even know me.”
