Now there was a salty fluid flowing freely from my eyes. Damn it. If there was any hope I was getting out of here I needed to keep trying, but if he liked the chase was I really going to get away? It didn’t matter, I had to keep trying. So here I was, the next morning running away from this dingy, old house, trying to escape this fucking man. I just wanted to get back to Axel and Stana and even the other men of the MC that were starting to become like family. I think I got farther than I did last time but then I felt a sharp prick in my leg. Looking down I saw a feather type thing sticking out of my leg. That motherfucker shot me with a tranquilizer dart. Son of a….
Bullet
Trying to wait for Knuckles to come up with something about Riley was killing me. I didn’t really have a position in the club yet. I was just a member as of right now. I did whatever Snake told me to and as of right now, there was nothing to do.
Stana was a mess. She was about to be two and a half months pregnant with her and Crow’s baby, and the hormones were not doing her any favors. I have never seen a woman cry so much. Rage was out on a job a few miles away taking care of a woman's husband who liked to put his hands on her, but she was afraid for her and her kid’s lives if she left. Unfortunately her husband was an esteemed surgeon and nobody believed her when she tried to go for help. This is what we did. Helped people who couldn’t get help on their own, especially when their significant other was a higher up, so to speak.
“Bullet, need you in my office,” Snake bellowed down the hallway. I took the last swig of my beer and headed that way. It was hard to take my mind off Riley. Knowing my brother wasn’t all the way right in the head was a scary feeling. I felt hopeless and useless which were the two worst feelings in the world for a man. Knowing my woman was at the hands of a man I didn’t know anymore was this horrible, gut wrenching feeling.
“What’s up, Snake?” I sat down in the chair across from his desk and tried to concentrate on Snake.
“We have been in the process of buying the strip club down on King Ave. It is called Open Tease at the moment but we will be changing that when we get it. As of right now, the owner keeps his girls high as kites and keeps the money they make for himself. He is essentially their pimp. You know we don’t mess around with that shit. I want you to go in and see what we are dealing with. Check out the girls and how bad the situation is. Don’t do anything unnecessary; I don’t want any trouble. Besides, this will help you keep your mind off Riley until we can get some information on her whereabouts.”
“That is all you want me to do? Just scope out the place? You don’t want me to try and find out any information from the girls or the bartenders?” I wanted to make sure I was clear on my orders. This is the first job he was sending me on and I didn’t want to fuck it up.
“That is it. I don’t want anyone else going with you. I think it would make it look too obvious about what we are doing. The owner isn’t keen on selling the place because it’s how he makes his money, but you know we respect women no matter their choice of lifestyle, unless it fucks with us.”
I left his office and wanted to check on Stana. She has become like a sister ever since she has been here, and I never had anything like that since it was only me and J.P. Speaking of that fucker, I couldn’t wait until they found out where he took my woman. He would regret it. I would always love my brother, but that was a line no one would ever cross without consequence.
Getting to Stana and Crow’s room, I knocked on the door hoping Stana was in somewhat of a better mood today. She opened the door and I could tell by the look on her face it was a bad day. That explained why I haven’t seen her yet. Usually she would be out and about around the clubhouse with the twins.
“You gonna leave me alone if I ask you to, Bullet?” she asked me. I shook my head and gave her the smile that it looked like she desperately needed to see. As I followed her into the room, I heard the twins babbling to each other as they ate their baby snacks in their high chairs. The shower was running so I guessed Crow was in there. I wouldn’t stay long since I had shit to do.
“How are ya today, darlin? Still chasing after these babies all day long?” I tried to throw in a joke but it didn’t go as planned.
“Yes, because I don’t have a sister to hang out with these days. Shit, I am sorry Bullet. I didn’t mean that. I am just so upset and overwhelmed.” The tears were going to start so I knew I had to switch the subject.
“You know I’m not supposed to be giving out details of my jobs, but this is my first one and I think it might give you a laugh. Snake wants me to go to the strip club over on King Ave. He said he is looking into buying it and wants me to scope it out.” I waited for her to laugh
