Night Rider MC Series: Book 1 Broken Wings

I was laying on the floor where he left me after he beat me, then and he walked out the door. I can’t stay here. I have to leave. I caught my breath as I tried to sit up. I crawled across the floor and grabbed the phone. I called Shawn.

“Hey Karen, how are you?”

Crying “I told her I needed help.”

" We are on our way I heard then everything went black.”

As we walked up to the porch of Karan’s house, we saw the door was cracked open. I shoved it open yelling for Karan. As I walked in, I saw her lying in blood next to the table.

“Fuck Gunner come quick.”

We ran over and rolled her onto her back.

“She is barely breathing.”

" Karan, Karan."

I opened my eyes and but could only see a small amount. "Shawn, he killed my baby."

I lifted her dress where most of the blood is. I looked up at Gunner. I started crying. Between Karan's legs lay a baby boy. He was so small Gunner could hold him in one hand.

“Gunner you have to get me out of here before he finds you here. All my things are packed in boxes. I need to get away before he kills me.”

Gunner called a friend of his at the Police Department. Then he called his VP Rock. Gunner is the president of the Panther MC. It was set up to look like Karen had died. The squad used, actually belonged to the Panther MC.

She was put on a cot and covered from head to toe. She was wheeled out to the squad. Bystanders especially neighbors said. I knew he would kill her one day, or I wonder if he knew he killed her when he stormed out of the house. In the meantime, her boxes were taken out of the back door and placed into a member’s truck and taken to the club.

Randy was driving down the road toward the house when he saw the police car and the ambulance. He slowed down long enough to see the gurney being wheeled out of his house and her body covered on it.

" Fuck” he said. Now they will be looking for me. I drove on by and drove straight to my club. When I walked in the tv was on and my gang looked from the body of Karan on the gurney to me.

“Your temper finally got the best of you Randy. You beat her to death.”

Then they saw an officer carrying a bundle in his arms covered out to the squad. “You killed the baby as well. What the fuck is wrong with you.”

“They will arrest you not only for her murder but for the baby as well. You are going to have to face the music this time.”

The squad drove down the road toward the hospital. But it turned off three miles down the road and drove straight to the Panther MC. After arriving they unloaded Karan and wheeled her into the club and to a room that had been prepared for her.

She was lifted off the gurney and placed on the bed. The ambulance finally arrived at the morgue. They had a body on ice that had received plastic surgery to look like Karan.

Her funeral was held three days later with a viewing at Brown’s Funeral Home. Visits were from 9:00 Am to 1:00 Pm and then the funeral was held. Randy snuck in wearing a wig along with his gang members.

The baby was lying in the woman (Karan’s) arms. It was a boy. He was a beautiful baby. It was true. I had gone too far this time. I killed Karan and our baby. I walked out with tears flowing down my face. Word had gotten out that she had been beaten to death and because of that the baby died. Karan and the baby were buried under a lavender tree next to a creek.

After the funeral, we all went back to the club. “How is she doc we asked as we entered?”

" No change. She is in a coma. I don’t know if she will ever wake up. It is her birthday today.”

It is March 14th, 2000. The women took turns bathing her and changing her nightgown. Shawn would brush her hair and braid it.

It is one year since she has been brought here. The VP, Eagle who is single sits with her every night and reads to her. Eagle also reads to her during the day. They decided to move their club to West Virginia. The new clubhouse is very big. They placed Karan into a ground floor bedroom. It was a nice room. The windows were open today with a breeze flowing through it. Her hair has grown and is almost as long as she is tall.

We waited for the arrival of the Cobra MC. Gunner said to Eagle and Hawk. “While we have those men here, I want a prospect sitting outside Karan’s room at all times. She is to be protected.”

“We don’t know what this club’s belief system is toward a woman. We also do not know if anyone knows Randy.”

" We will take care of her protection, Eagle told him.”

We heard the roar of motorcycles coming down the road. “Here they come said Eagle”

As they started to turn into the compound and park.

As they all turned their bikes off, three men walked over to Gunner, Hawk, and Eagle. They stopped and the biggest one said:

“I am the president of the Cobra MC, my name is Wolf, this is my VP, Steel, and my enforcer, Stone.”

" Please to meet you. Your men are free to walk around the compound, enjoy the bar and get to know my club members. I have two rules. The first is the bedroom on the ground floor is off limits.”

“My second rule is that the women here or club whores are not to be harmed in any way.”

“Can we ask about the bedroom?”

I sighed and spoke. “My woman’s best friend is in there. She has been in a coma for almost one year now. Her ex-boyfriend beat her so bad she lost her child a son and almost died.”

" We are taking care of her.”

" I understand that what I don’t understand is why a man has to beat on a woman let alone beat her so bad she loses a child. We do not believe in that.”

" If you are angry or pissed off go hit a man, or boxing bag. Let me tell my men they can get off the bikes.”

We waited for Wolf to walk back to us before walking into the club. As we sat at the table Shawn, and Elizabeth walked over. We introduced them to Wolf, Steel, and Steve.

" How is she” I asked?

Elizabeth smiled. “Doc, Peggy said that she saw a change in her breathing and that Karan could be coming out of the coma.”

I looked at the clock and spoke.

“Got to go. I have to keep up my routine.”

I watched as Eagle stood up and walked down the short hallway to Karan’s room. “Hello, Karan,” I said opening the door and closing it.

I walked over and sat down in the chair by the bed. I picked up the book I had been reading and started reading aloud to her. I had finished reading five chapters and stopped looking out the window.

I was thinking about how that fucker had taken not only one year of her life from her. But her baby from her. I sensed a change in the room. I turned and looked over at Karan. I saw her eyes were open and she was watching me. I blinked my eyes and looked over at her again. Yes, her eyes were open.

“Karan, you are awake I said. I need to tell the others “I said starting to stand. But she reached for me stopping me. She shook her head no and pointed to the book.

“You want me to read some more I asked?”

She shook her head yes and smiled. That smile did me in. She had me wrapped around her finger and she did not even know it. I continued to read to her until I noticed she had fallen asleep. I lay my head back against the chair and closed my eyes.

I opened them and noticed she was watching me. I told her it was not nice to watch someone sleep. She smiled and just looked at me. Then I heard her voice. It was so soft and sweet.

“Who are you?”

" I’m Eagle the VP of Gunner and Elizabeth’s MC.”

" You read to me every night.”

" I do” I said.

“I like your voice; you kept the pain and demon away from me.”

“Karan I am going to get the doctor I will be right back.”

I stood up and walked out of the room. I sent a prospect to find doc, Peggy. "Please tell her that Karan is awake."

I walked straight to the Doctor and whispered in her ear that Karan was awake. I watched the doctor ran and grab her medical bag before running down the hall to Karan’s room.

“What is it our club members asked with concern. She is still breathing, isn’t she?”

" She is awake I informed them.”

The Cobra MC looked at each other confused. Elizabeth and Gunner ran down the hall to see for themselves. “Karan, you are awake she screamed.”

" I am.”

"Doc, I’m starving."

"You can have soup for the first three days and then start eating soft foods alright?"

I smiled and said alright. I was receiving visitors all day long and was tired. Everyone but the Cobra MC members were permitted to see Karan. I was permitted to have my bedroom door open to watch the comings and goings of everyone.

Soon I dozed off. I was headed down the hall to the kitchen when I looked over and saw her bedroom door was open. Wolf, Steel, and Stone asked.

"Who is that woman? She is guarded like she is the most precious woman in this club."

" I will explain later."

I stared at her lying in the bed. Her hair was braided and was as long as she was tall. She had soft features and looked almost elfin in size. She was drop-dead gorgeous.

"Come on let’s get breakfast."

After breakfast Eagle was walking back down the hall when we heard a woman yell for Eagle.

"What do you need Elizabeth?"

" Doc said that Karan can get up and I need someone to carry her and put her in the wheelchair."

I walked in and over to the bed and said, "good morning, Karan."

" Good morning, Eagle" she said in a soft voice. Hearing her voice sent a pleasure response through my body.

"Wolf, are you alright my VP and enforcer asked?"

I observed Eagle as he lifted her gently in my arms and walked over to the wheelchair and gently sat her down in it.

"Eagle, they are going to make me have physical therapy again. I don’t like the man that comes here."

I stiffened and knelled down and asked, "why don’t you like him?"

I watched as she looked down at her hands. "Karan, why don’t you like this man?"

" He tries to touch me where I don’t want him to and has nothing to do with getting the strength build-up in my muscles I said."

I saw him stiffen and I looked at him. Eagle was mad. "I am not mad at you sweetheart. That bastard has no right to touch you in any way that you do not want to be touched. I will take care of this don’t worry I said smiling."

I stood up and turned and walked past Wolf, Steel, and Rock to Gunner’s office. We started to turn when she said: “Elizabeth, I need my hair cut. This is too long."

" How short do you want to cut it?"

" My waist. Give the rest to someone who can make wigs out from it for cancer victims."

I smiled as I heard her say that.

I stormed into Gunner’s office, and he asked, "what had me so pissed off."

When I told him what Karan had said he stood up and walked down the hall to her bedroom. I walked over to Karan and leaned down and kissed her cheek.

"Karan, Eagle told me what you said about your physical therapist. Don’t you worry? I will take care of him. Until we can get you a new one, I will make sure that someone is in the room with you when he is here alright?"

I watched as she smiled at Gunner in relief and said alright. "I will feel better if someone is here watching him."

" Good, I said standing up. Now, I hear that you want to go outside and sit on the front porch and drink coffee and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine."

" I do I said."

" Well then. Let us escort you out onto the porch, shall we?"

As we followed, I heard her giggle at Gunner.
