title: The Blood of Brothers (Sycamore Moon) (Volume 2)
author:  Domino Finn 
description: <b><span>Excerpt:</span></b><span><br />The smoking pit, as some called it, was just a stretch of dirt in the backyard of Sycamore Lodge. There was no place to sit except for the small stoop immediately next to the door, so patrons wandered in the empty space whenever they needed a moment of downtime. The smoking pit was a graveyard of customer complaints and underhanded plots, scattered cigarette butts, like headstones, the only evidence of the past.</span><b><span></span></b><span></span><span><br /><br />"What the fuck do you have me involved with?" demanded Maxim, his mask of complacency torn away. Gaston and the detective stood against the back wall at a distance from the few smokers who might overhear. "Am I protecting a bunch of murderers here?"</span><span><br /><br />Gaston worked his jaw, unused to this sort of antagonism, but he took Maxim seriously enough. "It wasn't us. I swear."</span><span><br /><br />"You don't know who could've done this?"</span><span><br /><br />"No way."</span><span><br /><br />Maxim looked Gaston in the eye, trying to glimpse any sign of deception. The Seventh Sons president showed nothing but weariness.</span><span><br /><br />"Diego said you backed us. You released Clint. That says something, right?"</span><span><br /><br />"I don't think he's involved," admitted Maxim. "But he's being an asshole with that fancy lawyer. You too, getting in my way at the clubhouse."</span><span><br /><br />"That's a sensitive area," said Gaston. "It's in both our interests for some things to stay hidden."</span><span><br /><br />Maxim winced at his inclusion in the motorcycle club's inner circle. Partners in crime, partners in time. Gaston was a fool if he thought the detective would be a partner in anything illegal.</span>
