4 months..
Ryker POV:
It’s fucking Christmas time. I hate the holiday time. Probably because my mother left my pops and I this time of year when I was 3 years old. Not that I remember that night but, I remember my pops was always sad this time of year before the life we live took him. I mean growing up under Axel was good and I healed my wounds with fighting, and doing runs for the club. I don’t know why my mind is reeling about this now? I am sitting in church as Axel is going over the footage of what Phoenix and Tick found at a warehouse about 20 miles out of town. We believe that was where they took her and did the vile things to her that still makes me cringe with hate and fury.
That’s right Pee has still been out of it since August and we are chasing our tails trying to locate these sick fucks of Satan’s Angels and bring justice back to my girl. It’s like I fucking blow up all their shit all over the country and they still seem to never die! No one has seen Colt or his new VP Reaper in months. All of us pretty much figured out that they are hiding very well around but, everytime we get a hit or a piece of a puzzle it’s like they are gone again. It’s very fucking annoying to be honest. I feel like a dog chasing it’s tail. If Pee was awake I am sure that she would have already figured out where they are and we would have killed every one of them in a slow agonizing death.
Detective Peterson has been around a few times but, we push him away. I know he and Pee have a strange kind of relationship where they share some information together. She will always be club princess and hopefully club queen one day. She hasn’t even flenched or made a movement. Mitzy and the hospital ended moving her up to the 5 floor and they put a feeding tube in her months ago. It’s like she is just rotting away in a fucking hospital and my sorry ass can’t even locate the fuckers who did this to her. Were supposed to be living our happily ever after not, chasing our tails while she just lays there.
I am not going to lie. It has been the most exhausting and daunting time of all our lives. Prez is aging like over night. Worse than when she left for NY and didn’t come home in 10 years. Mitzy tells me all the time that patients wake up from this type of situation months and even years. Mitzy has been a saving grace for the club mostly Prez and I. She keeps me grounded and has really been helping us with Pee.
“RYKER!”
I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard Phoenix yell my name.
“Yea brother?”
“Dude where the fuck are you? Did you not hear a word I said?”
“Eh sorry lost in thought what were you saying?”
“I said, do you have any ideas of where we should look next to find these sick fucks?”
Shaking my head.
“Phoenix it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack right now. If I had to guess they are hiding somewhere in the desert.”
“Well maybe Tick and I can go on a run on the outskirts they have to be around here somewhere?”
I nodded.
“Obviously but, that’s who Satan’s are. They are still functioning. Just not at full speed and they have no chapters to go to because we blew all of them up. They are quietly rebuilding it’s just a matter of time or where. They will slip up. We have the whole town on the look out and will let us know if anything comes up.”
I know I was being a shitty VP right now. I have been in this funk since the day I found Pee. Everyone had pretty much given me the distance and left me be. I just mostly work at my shop where Jenn has blown it open for us. She is selling bikes left and right and I am one of the top businesses in the state of California. Never thought that would ever happen.
“Well Ryk we need to end this shit before Char pops my kid out!”
I rolled my eyes. Yea about a week after Pee was attacked her little red head came out and announced to Phoenix she was knocked up. She’s about six months now and that explained why she was so bitchy back when I asked Pee to marry me on her birthday. Of course Phoenix already Ole ladied her and they want to get married but, decided to wait until the baby comes. She’s due in March. She stays pretty quiet around me but, I think on some level she is sad as hell because her and Pee would have been pregnant together and now she is solo and everyone is more concerned with Pee and her condition. They both tried to tell me that they wanted to wait for Pee to come back before they got hitched but, to be honest I think Phoenix is holding off as much as possible because he doesn’t want to be too tied down.
“You will be fine Phoenix.” Is all I could muster up in my words. I mean shit he’s already building a house out where the families live on the other side of the property. Axel gave them his blessing but, I think it kinda pinged his heart like it did mine. I am happy for him he is my brother but, I should also be living my happily ever fucking after with my girl now too.
“ENOUGH YOU TWO!”
Prez came back to bring the meeting to a close.
“Now if you two want to bicker do it on your own time as of right now we are no closer to finding these sick fucks who hurt my baby girl. I want Tick, Fatboy, and Phoenix to do a run on the North end of town and hit up the straglers.”
That was what Prez called the crackheads. It was where the hood was and they seemed to know where anyone with a drug would be. Most of them bought from Satan’s whereas we would distribute and sell to the Irish. We didn’t waste our time selling drugs on the streets we just sold the drugs to bigger people and let that shit be on them. We have kinda turned away from doing drug drops and we are more of a clean club that likes to help the innocent and take down the bad.
Out of nowhere the door flung open. And Cundy appeared.
“CINDY! You can’t be in here! Were in Church!”
Prez yelled at her. Never saw a woman barge in on us in church before?
“Sorry Axel but…”
“But what?”
“She’s awake!”
I jumped up where the chair behind me flew over on the ground. My girl is awake!
“CHURCH IS DONE!” Prez slammed the gavel as we all headed out into the clubhouse.
“Let’s go!” Axel yelled at us as we all piled on our bikes to ride out to see Pee.
She is awake thank fuck!
