Kade
"Untle Tade, Untle Tade. wake up seepy head." I groan and roll over to face the Four-year-old demon that is my niece.
"Wake up, wake up. it's a Sunday." she means a sunny day.
I reach my arms out from under the sheet and grabs her.
"Come ere, you little gremlin." I tickle her until she's screaming.
My sister leans on the doorframe to my bedroom, drinking a cup of coffee.
"She wouldn't stop asking to come see you. she's been awake since Five." my sister Remi walks in the room and sits on the end of my bed.
"Is that right, you love your uncle Kade huh." I blow raspberries on her small stomach, and she giggles.
Remi is Twenty, she had Jessie when she was just Sixteen. some punk from school knocked her up and then took off.
I don't even think he knows she fell pregnant.
"I need to take care of a few things in town, you need anything." Remi asks as I sit up and lean against the headboard.
"Nope, got everything I need right here." I reply as Jessie cuddles up to me.
"Ok, I'll be back in an hour or so, you ok with her." she asks.
"Yep. got to do some shit to the Dodge out front, won't take me long. Gremlin can help me." I reply, nudging Jessie to get up.
"You said shit." Jessie peeks up at me through her long lashes, making me groan because I did say shit and Remi hates it when she copies me.
"Make sure the gate is closed, she has a tendency to wander off, and copy you, so watch your language" Remi says as she walks to the door.
"Is that so, and where do you want to go when you wander off." I ask Jessie who climbs off the bed.
she hands me some jeans and then pulls a white top out of my draws.
"I want ice, ceam. can we go see the ducks." her small voice fills my ears.
"Maybe later, I got work to do. you want to help me." I ask her and she nods vigorously.
she loves handing me tools, even when they are the wrong ones, she thinks she's helping me to fix up cars and bikes. that's all that matters to me.
"Ok, let's go." I scoop her up once I'm dressed and we head outside into the morning sun.
after an hour working, a Bike rumbles along the road that I live on. been here now for about Six months.
bought the place because it's a safe area, good for Remi and Jessie to visit.
"Hand me the large spanner Jess." I point to the toolbox, and she hands me a screwdriver.
I don't correct her; she thinks she's helping, big goofy smile on her face.
"untle Wiley, I'm helping untle Tade fix the car." Jessie runs to my best friend Wiley.
"Hey kiddo, uncle Kade is a lucky man huh." Wiley picks her up and she cuddles into his neck.
"Hey bro, you fixed the Dodge charger yet, Luke wants it for the race on Saturday night." Wiley puts Jessie down and she goes back to rearranging my tools.
"Yeah, finished it late last night. kids got a death wish, that engine is Ten times more powerful now." I reply as I standup and dust my jeans off.
"Kids got more money than sense, that's for sure. you ok for the pickup tonight." he asks as Jessie runs around his legs with a small hammer.
"Money I will happily take, and yes. meet is at Ten, you and Base will come with me." I answer as Remi pulls up to the drive.
Base, Wiley and I are the leaders of the Old Eldorado bike club. not a gang like some believe. we have over Twenty-Two members.
although Base is more or less in the background now.
we use our power in this town to do good deeds in the community. we make connections to drug suppliers and then wipe them off the face of the earth.
My mother was killed by a drug addict when I was Fourteen. Remi was Seven at the time and our little brother Jax was Five.
My father, along with my brother, lives on a ranch west of Estes Park, Colorado. while I live in Fort Collins with Remi a town over.
"Sounds good brother. I'll come here and we can ride together." Wiley tells me as he turns to grin at Remi.
"Looking good, hot momma." Wiley whistles as Remi closes the gate.
"Get lost Why, I'm not interested." Remi snarks back.
they have flirted with each other on and off for the last Three years.
Wiley can't commit to one woman, and Remi is too insecure to let loose and have some fun.
I'm not worried about Remi sleeping with my best friend, she's her own person. I have no say in what she does.
"Get your shoes baby. it's time to go home." Remi takes the hammer off Jessie who starts to cry.
"Untle Tade said we could feed the ducks." Jessie cries harder as Remi picks her up.
"I'll take you to feed the ducks and then we can get ice-cream, but you have to stop crying ok." Remi sooths Jessie by stroking her hair until she calms.
she's a good mum, even when she was just a baby herself when Jessie was born.
"Yay, Utle Tade, I'm gonna feed the ducks and get ice ceam." I take Jessie from Remi and cuddle her to me.
"Have fun and don't eat all the ice-cream gremlin, don't fall in the pond either, because mummy can't swim." I reply as Remi walks inside the house to find her shoes.
"You want me to come with you Momma." Wiley asks Remi when she comes back out.
she snorts and ignores him.
"Yay, Untle Wiley come and feed the ducks." Jessie jumps up and down excitedly.
Remi curses under her breath, the look of utter annoyance on her face.
"Fine, but don't piss me off, or you'll be swimming with the fishes." Remi snarks at him.
I stand there watching everything unfold.
"Momma said piss." Jessie shouts and we all burst out laughing.
"don't repeat that baby, it's a bad word." Remi says as I kiss Jessie's cheek and set her down.
"Love you sis." she waves, and I watch her put Jessie in her car seat.
"See you at Nine Thirty." I say to Wiley as he walks to his bike.
I watch them leave and then get back to fixing the car, minus the tools I need because they are scattered everywhere.
we are meeting with a man called Callum Tillet tonight. a known drug dealer from Richards Lake.
reports have come in that he's been selling dodgy stuff, coke mainly.
some of the college kids have had a bad trip and we want him gone.
