I turn to the Commander to address him, “Commander I’ll fill you in later on but know this is serious shit. I won’t close the shooting range but Athena will not be going anywhere near it until this shit is over with. Keep your eyes open for anything. I wanna know if you have any newbies come in”.
“Blaze and Happy, you need to load Hyde, Izzy and Romy up in the van and take them to get a few things from their places. I’m giving you one hour to make your stops and get back here. Girls I’m warning you not to try my fucking nerves. Get in and get out,” I said to the two men in our crew that I knew wouldn’t cave with the bitchy women of the family.
“Tank, get Athena and Madison to help you round up the artillery they have here at the house and add to it as you see fit. I know we’re cautious with the kids around but I want a piece stashed somewhere in each room. Make sure everyone knows where they are. If for some reason someone gets in here I want to make sure we ain’t caught with our pants down.”
I dished out orders to my father last, “Boomer, you need to call Beau and Brenden and tell them to keep their asses put. If for some reason they sense trouble they need to call. I know they want to see Hunter but I can’t have something happening to either one of them traveling home alone”. My brother’s might be young, but they were tough as nails. If anyone was able to track them down, they would know how to handle the situation. We made sure we had charters close to the schools they choose before even considering letting them go that far away to college.
“Alright crew let’s get this shit done. The sooner the better,” I said as the bitching started. At least they knew better to bitch amongst themselves and not to me. I really couldn’t handle that shit right now. I made my way over to Romy who already had Hunter on her lap looking for bicycles.
“Hey Romy, when you go by your place you mind bringing your ink back with you? I kind of need some work done and being you’ll be stuck here for a while I was hoping you’d be able to fit me in”.
“I’ll see what I can do”. She turned to Hunter and whispered in his ear which had him jumping out of her lap and running up to Ghost. Looks like the little munchkin had something to say she couldn’t in front of the boy.
“What’s up? I can see you’re ready to tear into my ass over something so let’s have it,” I told her before she could speak.
“Oh I’m ready to tear into somebody’s ass but the gods have saved you today. My beef isn’t with you, it’s with that nasty club whore. I’m letting it known that she doesn’t come here. I will end that bitch myself if she walks thru the door”.
“You don’t have anything to worry about. I plan to have the guys put her on a bus by morning, shipping her off far away from here. Believe me when I say I would kill that bitch if she comes near my woman or kid. She will be dealt with,” I tried to reassure her.
“For her sake she better stay gone. We might be confined to this house for the time being but I can’t guarantee you a few of us won’t be sneaking off after the smoke clears to give that bitch what she deserves”.
“We’ll deal with that after the lockdown. You girls better keep your asses put”.
“Easy dude. We know this shit is serious. With attacks focused on us I promise we won’t be taking an unnecessary risks Prez,” Romy shocks me for agreeing with me.
“Good to hear Munchkin. I’ve got enough on my plate as it is. Now did my boy find a bike he wants”?
“I ordered it already. The one he wanted wasn’t in stock though, so we had it shipped to the store. I’ll get an email when it gets there and someone can pick it up.”
“How much do I owe you Munchkin,” I asked Romy calling her by her nickname?
“Not a dime. I haven’t been able to spoil him in the flesh for four years so you’re going to have a little bit of competition big guy”.
I wasn’t in the mood to argue with her so I just kept it moving. With everyone scattering to get this together I said goodbye to my son promising to be back later. I tapped Wall on the shoulder and threw Doc a nod to have them follow me. The three of us had someone to deal with. I needed back up so I didn’t beat the hell out of a woman but that bitch needs to go. The three of us set off to put a bitch on the street. I wanted her ass gone as soon as possible. Then I was coming back to spend time with my kid before hopefully curling up next to my woman.
Avery
With most of the guys busting ass to get things done, the girls went to work getting the rooms situated. Carrin and I went to work moving Hunter in the room with Tivie. With the kid’s room situated, Athena and Madison joined us. They agreed to move down to the basement temporarily in Happy’s man cave. We planned on moving Hyde, Romy and Izzy down there as well. The basement apartment was more than big enough for the five ladies. They would have their own space complete with a bathroom down below. Hawk was going to stay over at his parent’s house which would leave the complete third floor open for the old head’s and their Old Lady’s. Queenie was taking Hunter’s old room and the den was going to be converted into the Dorm for the rest of the guys. I offered to give my room up but apparently that wasn’t happening per Axle’s orders.
“I still don’t see why I get to keep a room to myself while everyone else has to share,” I told my girls as we started putting the groceries away prospect Dalton was carrying in from the van.
“Oh girl if you think that Axle is going to let you have that bedroom by yourself you’ve bumped your head,” Madison said with a snort.
“Oh you’ll have a roommate but of the male persuasion,” Carrin threw in.
“What the fuck are you girls getting at? What aren’t you all telling me,” I questioned, starting to get pissed. These bitches knew something they have yet to clue me in on.
“Really girl, are you that fucking dense? Axle will be rooming with you. You two will be sharing a bed just like you have the last couple nights. Your gonna have a hot piece of ass curling up next to you every night,” Athena told me with a laugh.
Holy shit! This is not happening! I can’t share a room with him and what the hell did Athena know when she said “like you have the last couple of nights”? I didn’t realize the whole damn house knew he was sneaking into my room at night. I looked calm on the outside but I was totally freaking out on the inside.
“Ouch, what the hell was that for bitch,” Carrin punched Athena in the arm.
“She didn’t know dummy. Don’t you remember her trying to figure out who was putting her in bed night after night? I’m sure it’s the reason why he’s been slipping out before the sun comes up,” Madison answered for Carrin.
Athena had the dear in the headlight look on her face. Hunter had innocently informed me of who was putting me to bed each night but I wasn’t about to admit it. I didn’t know what to say, it wasn’t like I haven’t slept with the man. The more I thought about it, the more I was warming up to the idea. It would be nice having someone to curl up with. It’s been way too long since I’ve had the luxury of his arms wrapped around me. It put a smile on my face that the girls quickly called me out on it.
“Well look at that, Avery’s getting her groove back. How bout you tell us what you’re thinking their blondie,” Madison said out loud?
“Oh my god! Do tell girl inquiring, minds wanna know. That man has an ass you can bounce quarters off of. Oh and those eyes are all like McDreamy’s,” Athena added.
“You all need to quit. That was a long time ago. I had no idea he was sneaking into my bed but I can say nothing’s happened and it won’t be happening. We have a kid together. That’s all it is right now. We still haven’t even ventured down the talk of there being an “us” girls, so slow your roll,” I answered more confident then I felt.
“Yeah right woman, keep lying to yourself. Just so you know, me and the girls have a bet going to see how long it takes for the two of you to get your heads out of your asses,” Carrin said as Madison snickered but before she could say anything Carrin continued. “What are you laughing bout there C.B., we�
�ve got the same bet just a different pool on you and Wall”.
That shut her up and caused me to laugh in the process. I’m glad that little bitch was getting a taste of her own medicine. I had to rub it in a little. “Yeah I think I want in on that bet. How much is the pay off again? Oh yeah, that’s right, between everyone it’s over five hundred bucks. I see another shopping spree in my future. I said by September so do a girl a favor and hold out for me”.
“You all are a bunch of bitches; you know that right. It’s all fun and games when it’s about someone else but I’m not liking being the one you all are betting on. SHIT”! Madison screamed causing a herd of bikers to come storming through the door.
“What the fuck is wrong in here? Why are you all screaming,” Ghost asked?
“Sorry Ghost, just a little girl talk. Apparently our favorite Crazy Bitch doesn’t like it when the rolls are reversed,” Carrin said to Ghost trying to keep a straight face.
We all stayed quiet waiting for the guys to flip out but all they did was laugh. It started with Ghost and the rest of them fell in which caused all the girls to bust out laughing. It felt good to let go of some of the tension that’s been surrounding all of us. Maybe this whole lock down thing wouldn’t be so bad?
Three weeks later….
Axle
For three weeks we’ve been chasing these assholes. After dragging Diamond’s ass out of the club house literally kicking and screaming, I had to work my frustrations out on someone else, so we paid the asshole we had strung up in the garage a visit. Before Wall put a bullet in the fucker’s skull, we found out there was nine of them that were sent. That left four of the rogue bikers floating around along with Zeke, Yasmin and Jewels. To say tensions were high would be putting it mildly.
Wall was almost back to his old self. Against Doc’s orders he’s been out of his sling and back to work for the last week. Thank goodness his sled wasn’t ready yet or he’d be riding it. With the girls pulled away from their post at their job’s, everyone’s been picking of up the slack. Blaze and Ghost have been rotating at the shop; when ones at the shop the other is at the club house or at the house with the girls. Zeus and Doc have been doing the same at the store. Aiden has taken over the bar we own in town with a prospect with him at all times. Boomer pulled Tank and Throttle off the long haul shit to carry the local transfers, switching off each day leaving at least one of them available. Boomer brought Viking in the office with him to help dispatch keeping the trucks rolling. Wall and Happy have been switching days at the shop leaving me at the clubhouse every day. It’s been a rough few weeks but everyone is hanging in.
The girls have been great surprisingly. The only bitching I hear is from Romy. She’s not happy that her shop has been closed for the last three weeks. She’s the only one out of the whole group that can hold a tattoo gun, which left no one to fill in for her. We had to change the answering service and put a sign on the door saying closed due to illness. I hated to do it but it had to be done. Until those fuckers showed their faces again I wasn’t budging.
I still haven’t had the time to sit down with Romy for the new tat I wanted but that shit was soon to change. I managed to sneak away from the club house early last night, thinking I’d be able to talk her into it, only to find her working on Athena surrounded by all the other women that were branded with something similar. With Zeus now a full fledge member and Athena being is only relative so to speak, it had led to a club vote to allow Athena the same rights and privileges as the rest of the club princesses. Athena now has the “princess stamp” on her left shoulder blade. It’s a small devil wearing the Dominant Devils cut with the script, club princess, underneath.
Athena saw it as the acceptance of family and jumped at the surprise presented to her. I’m not saying it wasn’t what she thought, but the club had other motives as well. It now meant she had to listen and abide by the same rules the rest of the crazy bitches in our family did. It was a gain for everyone involved. The smile on the girls face while Romy laid the club’s stamp was enough for me to wait my turn. I’d hit Romy up another time.
I was lost in thought sitting at the bar in the clubhouse when pops walked up. Boomer tapped the bar top and the prospect moved quickly to get a shot of whiskey and beer for the old head. He was pissed about something. I waited until he through the shot of whiskey back before I spoke. “What’s crawled up your ass today”?
“Your fucking step momma and your sister are ganging up on me again”.
“What about this time? Which one did you say no too? Their always a team when you shoot something down that concerns them. That’s normally the only time you get pissed over them being as close as they are”.
“Your sister is looking into colleges. I walked in over at the house and both of them were on the laptop scanning different places. It didn’t end well”.
“Well maybe we should lighten up the reins a bit and let her get her degree when all this shit clears. What the hell is it going to hurt if she goes to school an hour away? From what I hear she’s been taking online courses already. I don’t think she even needs a whole lot to graduate”.
“I’d be okay with her going to the fucking community college, but that’s not where she’s planning on going. During my little discussion with the two wenches, I found out she’s applied somewhere in California, Florida and Delaware. Neither damn one of them are within the state lines of South Carolina,” my father said before taking the beer to his lips for a long gulp.
“Over my dead fucking body! I’m all for supporting her going to school. I planned on telling you and Wall to back the fuck off but she’s not going across the country to go to school”.
“I know that son, but right now she’s got it in her head that she is. She’s not planning on going til the fall semester if she gets in, then they have to accept transfer credits or some shit like that. I got a bad feeling she’s going to pull an Avery and take off if she doesn’t feel like she’s getting any support from us,” Dad said.
“We’ve got a few months before we have to worry about it. Maybe the shit between her and Wall will calm the fuck down and she’ll forget about it. I’ll talk to both of them old man”.
“Yeah you do that. Whatever you do, don’t mention her being too old to play college freshmen. It’s the only time I’ve ever seen my daughter wanna punch me in the face”.
I busted out laughing at the man before me. He’s always had a hard time talking to Madison. He talks to her the same as me and my brothers but gives her different standards because she’s a girl. It never mixes well and normally results in my dad giving in or buying something she doesn’t need. She’s managed to swindle a brand new bike out of the man after the fall out they had when dad beat the shit out of her flavor of the week. Boomer walked in the bar the club owned in town and saw his only daughter with some assholes tongue shoved down her throat. Dad went fucking ballistic. The asshole ended up in the ER and we had to close the bar for a few days for the damages to be fixed. My sister didn’t talk to him for almost a month. She showed up for work one day and a brand new 1200 Sportster sat in her usual parking space. Dad even had it personalized for her with the hot pink skulls on the gas tank. She didn’t have a choice but to talk to him after that cuz she sure as hell wasn’t turning a brand new bike down.
“What the fuck are you laughing at? She’s just as pissed with you and Wall as she is me? She said we could all kiss her ass,” dad said starting to laugh his self.
“I think we’re just going to sit back and let Wall take the brunt of this one. It’s his dumb ass shit that sent this tailspin in motion”.
“Yeah, she’s not had anything to say to him in weeks. That prick is getting on my last nerve with that shit. If I didn’t want to see those two end up together so bad, I fucking shoot him in the head to put him out of his own damn misery. He’s been in asshole mode ever since they all went on their shopping spree,” pop confessed.
I wasn’t going to tell pop that Wall had poured his
heart out to my sister only to have it thrown back in his face. Dad would take it upon his self to try and get in the middle. Those two didn’t need anyone stirring the pot, although if something didn’t change soon I was going to drown both of them in it. A thought popped into my head that I think might benefit everyone. It had been almost a month that we’ve been cooped up, maybe we needed to plan a joint venture somewhere.
“What’s the longest lockdown you had in your time old man?”
“In eighty-five we were stuck in this damn club house for a month and a half. You all were babies and some of the Old Ladies were pregnant. Worst fucking time of my life. Your mother was here bossing everyone around being a bitch making everyone miserable. Ya know her typical shit. I’ll never regret meeting that woman because of you and your sister but the day she found me with another bitch sucking my cock was the best fucking day of my life. She finally left, leaving the three of us in peace for once. If I had known that was all it would take, I woulda did it long before then”.
I couldn’t argue with him. I rarely see or speak to my mother. Her and her husband like to look down their noses at my family. Whenever I’m around her it ends in a screaming match so I just stay the fuck away. It works out better for everyone. Madison tries but mom always bitches about her hair, friends, tattoo’s, you name it. Nothing we do suits mom. She’s just a miserable person and thinks everyone else should be to. I don’t even care anymore. This is the only family that matters and I plan on giving them a little break.
“I’m not breaking this lock down but I think that if we all go out together it would be the same as being stuck here together. Or split up into two large groups,” I told my dad thinking out loud.
“What have you got cooking in that head of yours, son? It’s called lock down for a reason”.
