  ****Meeting of Charters: ****

  Rage Ryderz: Lost Devils Outlaws:

  Lost Spirits MC: Throwdown Riders MC

  King: I whistle loudly to grab all the boys’ attention. “I need all ya’ll little fuckers’ attention. Everyone grab a seat or a wall, we need to get this meetin’ started. There is a lot going on and we need to get a handle on several situations. The first order of business, today is that we still have a half-dead rat in our basement, what are we gonna do with Tazer and Justin. I want them out of my clubhouse! Away from my compound, and away from my fuckin’ family and I wanted it done yesterday. So Wasp and Jed, I want you to get with Justice and Ghost and get that shit done.” I took a second and looked at the four to make sure they were payin’ attention to me. Jed had a smile reachin’ from ear to ear. I had forgotten how much he dug taken care of this shit. Wasp, of course, had a very pissed off look on his face. I know he wants in on the Jameson situation, and I will make sure he gets his revenge for his family. The other part though, he is too emotional and will not partake in. “Wasp, you will get yours, brother, I will make sure of it. I can’t however have your emotions screwing up the first part. I need you to trust us, please. Second order of business, I will pass to my VP since he has been working on this shit since last night. Without any sleep, I might mind you so keep givin’ respect.”

  Sniper: “Alright, listen up. Ours inside sources say that Jameson has clammed up askin’ for legal representation. So, Detective Maddox has his hands tied at the Moment, and this is where our sister chapters are gonna come into play. They have been working with their contacts and Bomber and their hacker genius. Together Bomber and The Lost Spirits Hacker whose name is Tech are working the system which is why Bomber is absent from our meet today. They are seeing what they can technically come up with to get us access to our boy. We have several options we are considering, when one of them becomes viable we will sit and vote on which one to follow on. Until then I want absolutely no fuckin’ school girl whinin’ from grown ass men. Everyone will know what they need to know. Especially the Ol’ men and, of course, their dad’s. The other charters are on standby awaitin’ the word on if they are needed to get here. They have been without their leaders for much longer than we had anticipated. Wantin’ to get this shit done and get them home. If any of you hear anything from your sources, I wanna know a-s fuckin’- p! The more info we have, the better off we’ll be goin’ in. Next I’m passin’ the floor off to my boy he has an announcement ta make.”

  Ryder: “I know this is probably the worst time for this, but to me it’s bringing some good news into a dangerous time for our family. As you all know I have been with Skylar for years off and on. It took me a long ass time to get her to finally admit it was always supposed to be us. So, she wanted us only labeled as boyfriend and girlfriend in case somethin’ went wrong. Prez and I have been talkin’ about my and Sky’s future and he gave me his blessin’ for the day when it came. Well, after her accident and while she was healin’ at the hospital I put my foot down. So, not only has Sky agreed to be my Ol’ lady but she has also agreed to become my wife.” The entire room erupted in uproar at my announcement and man it felt good my Brothers havin’ my back. This is the best family a man could ask for. I knew Sky would be protected as long as Prez and Kid were in the club. As an Ol’ lady, she would have protection for her remaining life.

  Tumbler: “I would like the floor please if everyone is done congratulating Ryder on his much-needed news for our club. I have some news as well when Sadie and Riley had been taken was the first time I have ever experienced real panic and rage. When I had her back the first night when she woke from her nightmare and I was comfortin’ her, I told her when she was better I wanted her to be my Ol’ lady. Last night, with her sister home she asked me if I still wanted that. When I told her yes, she said she was ready now. I called Wasp first thing this mornin’ cause I knew I wouldn’t have time for facetime chat. He gave his blessin’ so I’m officially layin’ claim to Sadie. She is my Ol’ lady and is not available for anyone to touch, hit on or disrespect. If you do, you will personally deal with me. My relationship with Sadie is important to me so if you mess with her consider it messin’ with me make sure the word is spread. I’m not available and neither is she.”

  Wasp: “Kid, you ever plannin’ on makin’ an Ol’ lady out of my Riley girl? If not, I want it put out there that she is not a Babe. She better never be treated as such, ever, and as long as you’re in her bed, you best not let me catch ya with one of those Babes. Are we understood?” I hadn’t been here to be their dad. I sure as hell am here now and no one was gonna fuck over my girls.

  Kid: I can’t believe he called me out like this in a patch meetin’! I look over to my dad for help, but he has an eyebrow raised in question at me. Guess he would like an answer to that as well. Go figure, I thought it would be my Mom all over my ass about claimin’ her. “I will gladly answer your question Wasp and am pissed about the Babe comment so I will leave that alone and pretend it didn’t leave your mouth. I respect my girl a hell of a lot more than that and I won’t do anything that will cause her to leave me. Touching a Babe would be the fastest and surest way for that to happen, I would like the word passed as well that I’m off the playing field. I was plannin’ on comin’ and talking with ya later Wasp, I was gonna have it with facetime. Man to man, but if this is the way you want it goin’ down I’m good with it. I would love your backin’ on makin’ a claim on my Riley girl. Will you back me Wasp?” He is looking at me with a sideways smirk on his face and gives me a chin lift in approval. “Then I’m officially claimin’ Riley right now to everyone one of ya stupid fucks. Don’t touch her, hurt her or make her uncomfortable in any way shape of form you dirty asses. Especially you old man Uncle Jed!” I stood up from my chair and leaned over the table looking into his eyes so he knew how serious I was. I kept eye contact with him making him break first. It was a sign showing me he respected my request of him. I sat back down ready to resume the meetin’. “Alright old man I’m finished, go on with the speakin’.”

  King: I was enjoying the show so much I almost missed the floor bein’ passed back to me. “Alright, so for now Tazer and Justin are gonna get taken care of and Sniper is gonna go check and see if Bomber and Tech were able to come up with anything. Then our VP is gettin’ him some shuts eye. I don’t want ya back till tonight Sniper. Does anyone else need the floor?” I look around the entire room one man at a time to make sure I miss no one. When I’m satisfied, I looked at everyone I was ready to call this adjourned. I wanted to go home to Lina. I know she wants to see Riley that can wait till later on. I don’t get much alone time with her these days and I’m takin’ advantage of no one around the house. “Then we are done fuckers and I want some time alone with Lina so no one disturb me unless you’re fuckin’ dying.” I slammed my hand on the table and walked toward the door lettin’ everyone knows I was damn serious.

  ************Wasp***********

  I was following Jed down the steps to the basement where Tazer and Justin were being held. I felt a buzzing in my pocket and asked Jed to give me a minute. He just smiled and kept on walking. I guess he can’t wait to get started on the business at hand. I looked at the caller ID and was not wanting to take this call. Dammit, why can’t Cassidy just try and move on? She calls my phone at least five times a day since I left to come back for my family. I have to break those ties, I will never hurt Ashton. I can’t keep Cassidy in my life and keep Ashton’s feelings from hurtin’ and I know my wife. She will question if I really want her back or if I’m feelin’ obligations to her and the girls. She will think I love Cassidy still (I will always care for Cassidy, but I was never exactly in love with her) and she will push me to her, for my happiness. Fuck that my happiness lays with being with Ashton and my girls. Could care less about the rest of the world.

  As I’m sitting contemplating answering the phone it stops ringing so I turn it off and shove it back into my pocket and go to join
Jed. As I enter the room, Jed is spraying down the room to get rid of the waste that Tazer or Justin or both has released. I guess he wants a cleaner room for his disposal of the dirty rat. Fine, I don’t give a shit, I just want to get this shit done so I can spend some time with my family. I have barely been able to spend any time with my daughters and I want to take them to lunch or dinner since the immediate danger seems to be in jail. Jameson and his son Romeo will get theirs. If my Brothers can’t make it happen, I promise I will.

  Justin starts trying to get my attention. “Jaxon (Seriously, not even Ashton or ma call me Jaxon anymore.) Hey brother, I never wanted to hurt you. I had to, I can’t tell you why just know there was no choice if I wanted us all to live. I swear to you, think back to our childhood and even past that. Yeah, I was an asshole but seriously I never did anything to hurt you. Brother this is so much bigger than Jameson, or me or anything else you can even imagine. If I could tell you and keep us all alive I would I swear it.”

  Jed must have cut Tazer loose, thinkin’ he was too weak and down for the count, he’s listening to Justin just as I was. He lost sight of Tazer as he ran at Justin and grabbed the knife from Jed’s belt sheath and rammed it right into my brother’s jugular. His eyes were wide and full of fear as he screamed at Justin “You can’t, it’s not just your family at stake!”

  Before either Jed or I could react he pulled the knife from Justin and shoved it into his own neck. Jed and I turned and looked at each other unsure of what the fuck just happened, hell I was questionin’ if it really happened or if I’m in a nightmare. Who the fuck could be behind this? I feel like I had twenty years ago. I thought I had all the answers to the mystery around my families’ disappearances, but now I have no idea who is really behind this. If it isn’t Justin or Jameson or even Tazer for that matter, who hates me that much to take my family from me?

  Jed and I turned on the A/C down here to keep the bodies cool while we went upstairs to figure this shit out. I hope we figure this out before it’s too late.

  *******Cassidy*******

  Dammit! Why won’t he answer my phone calls? I don’t want him back, I know we’re over! How else am I going to tell him? I have to warn him! Five years I was forced to pretend to love him. Just so, I could have Intel in case he figured out where his family was. The Shady Creepers MC are the demons disguised men. And their Prez is Lucifer in the flesh. They Kidnap people and use them to get their family members to do as they ask or they bring you in to watch as they are tortured. Sometimes they are lucky land death comes for them. Then there are times that mercy doesn’t come for you and you get to live through the misery over and over again until your family gets the job done for them.

  Unfortunately my twin sister Trinity learned this lesson. As soon as they found out he left me because his home chapter had found his family she paid the final consequence of my lack of knowledge ahead of time. They are coming for me, I’m useless to them now. He won’t answer my calls though, he needs to know what is at stake for his future and his family. I have to go to him. I have to tell him. I owe him at least that much, he was always so good to me. He never even lied to me about his wife and daughter. I knew if they showed up from day one I was gone. He loves his family to the core of his existence.

  I grab my purse and keys off the table by the front door and runs to my car. I’m going to have to stop and get a rental car in the next town over. In case they are being watched I don’t want my car called into Lucifer, which is his road name. If I’m lucky, I can get in unseen and get out of Texas without being seen and killed. They are the biggest Charter with over two-thousand members and are spread out over the state. I will actually count my blessings if I’m alive after my meeting with Wasp to even try and escape them.

  ************Ashton*************

  Wasp had been down in the basement for a little over an hour when I saw him come up the stairs. He had a puzzled look on his face that immediately put me on alert. Wasp and I may have been separated for a couple decades, but I still know him better than anyone. Therefore, that look upon his face will keep me on my toes with eyes wide open. This time I will not let my family down, we will stay together and my girls will have their father. He needs them as bad as they need him and if I have to sacrifice myself for that to happen I will. I know it would hurt Wasp to lose me again, but those girls and he need me to be the wife and mother I should have been so many years ago. I refuse to exist in a world where none of them is in. If it comes down to me or one of them, bet your ass it will be me!

  Wasp comes over and clasp my hands and sits next to me on the couch. We hold hands and watch our daughters laughing with each other and their men. They look like one big happy family. I look over to Wasp and see a huge smile on his face as he’s watching his daughters with admiration on his face. It looks like temporarily his worries have left. If our girls can do that for him, even for a Moment, it means I get to see that smile I fell in love with. Wishing I could hear that laugh every day that caught my attention so many years ago.

  Wasp grabs my attention as he tells me “Ash baby, I don’t know when but things are about to get really interesting, Justin and Tazer had some interesting things that came out of their mouths. I want you to promise me that if you’re not with me that you stick to one of the Brothers. Something doesn’t feel right baby.” Of course, I shake my head to agree with him and fold my legs underneath me on the couch. I have always done this since I was a Kid. It is a way I comfort myself when I start feeling vulnerable. He gives me a peck on the cheek and gets up and walks to the bar for a drink.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Three hours later….

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  We were all sitting in the clubhouse, Prez got back with his Ol’ lady Lina two hours ago and the rest of the crew followed shortly behind. The men grilled burgers and hot dogs on the grill. The women made all the side dishes since we all made something our men loved; we wanted to have a meal together tonight just to reconnect everyone. With all the shit we just made it through and feeling that something was coming our way, had us all holding our breath. Waiting made everyone anxious. We have no clue what to prepare for.

  The Ol’ ladies kicked the Babes out stating it was family oriented only. The boys were told they could eat with us and then leave the compound if they needed their toys for the night. (Gross!!) Anyway were all sitting in the family area of the clubhouse and some had seats, some were on the floor, or our men’s laps. We were having a good time bullshitting as the guys were entertaining us with stories of adventures while shitfaced. These guys were always playing tricks on each other.

  One minute we were all laughing, next thing I know there’s this beautiful woman with reddish brown hair and pure green eyes. She was tall, somewhat slender. (I think her height helped with her weight though) She was tan with an hourglass shape. She was out of breath as she entered the room, immediately I flew out of Wasp lap as he yelled “What the fuck are you doing here Cassidy?” Oh hell, this was his girlfriend of the last five years. He has told me about her. Is she here to fight for him? Does she want him back? I feel hands reaching out to mine trying to help me up off the floor, I look up and it’s Riley and Sadie and they look concerned. Guess they know who she is as well. Damn, I hope he doesn’t leave his girls (or me) and go back to her. I know I’m not ugly in the looks department, hell I get hit on everywhere I go. But damn this woman Cassidy is beautiful. I mean model beautiful. I let my daughters help me up off the floor and look over my shoulder and see Wasp just noticing that he had dumped me on the floor. His eyes bug out and he looks horrified at the situation. “God, Ashton baby I’m so sorry. I lost my head for a Moment, are you ok baby?” Even though, I’m shell shocked I’m not about to have him thinking I’m hurt so I answer him. “Yes, Wasp I’m fine, thank you for asking.” He gives me a strange look and I just can’t take the rejection I feel coming. I excuse myself from the girls and I go to the restroom. I can feel Wasp’s eyes trained o
n me as I leave the room. I just can’t do this right now, not with everything that happened with Justin. Then getting Wasp back in my life, to my girls being kidnapped. Getting them back one at a time not knowing where they were. How much more was I supposed to endure? I finally make it to the restroom and close the door behind me. I know that the tears are going to come so I try to prevent it.

  I would rather be strong and left with my head held high. I had sacrificed before for the man I loved and my babies, I can do it again. I look in the mirror and grab a paper towel and attempt to catch tears before they can take my mascara with them. If I have black streaks running down my face, everyone will know I was crying. I hear a noise behind me and lift my face and look in the mirror behind me. The tension I had in my shoulders from the act I was fixing to put on relaxed. “You do know this isn’t the men’s room right? Amway’s I will be done in a minute so you can go back and join the others. Just give me three minutes and I will let you have it all to yourself.” I go to wet the paper towel and all of a sudden he puts something over my nose and mouth and my instinct to fight kicks in.

  I started to fight and claw and kick, it was no use he was so strong! Why is he doing this? He is part of this club, everyone trust him. The more I fight the harder I breathe, the more I breathe in. I feel everything getting hazy until eventually the fight leaves me and everything goes black.

  *********Cassidy**********

  “Wasp! Calm down you have to listen to me! You’re going to hate me, but I can’t worry about that right now. I’m sorry that your wife is upset, but this will save all of your lives and you all need to hear it. Since you’re all right here, please let me say it once so I can get out and try and save my life!” All of a sudden his face changed from curiosity to one of irritation. I wonder if I’m bothering him, well to fucking bad! I drove all this way to save him and his fucking family he is going to listen to me! “Fine Cassidy, tell me what the hell you have to say, but I have a feeling once you’re done we will not be finished with this conversation. As far as my family, you don’t mess with them. If this is some kind of act to get me back and you just upset my wife and my daughters you will pay!” Wasp screamed at me.
