It was one gunshot after another, and I watched as each of the men fell to the ground.
“Cease fire!” Axel yelled out. The gunshots stopped and the men put away their weapons. I walked over to check each rogue member for a pulse, but it was senseless. All four were shot in the head.
“Let’s go have a cold one.” Axel guided me toward their garage. He was an ally. He was the man that helped me get undercover operatives into different MC’s around the country. He knew who we were and respected us. He got his MC away from the cartel many years ago, and he did favors for law enforcement in exchange for them ignoring the prostitution and gambling. Other than that, his clubs were legal strip clubs. He made good money, but it was barely enough to keep the MCgoing. I served with Axel’s son, and he was the man that gave me the idea of making Creed’s Lake an MC. The Originals and I lived with them for a few months to learn more about how an MC works. His son chose the military over the MC and was still an active service member. He was stationed at Fort Campbell. Axel was good at keeping me well informed, and I did the same for him as far as law enforcement was concerned.
Watching four men gunned down was just the beginning of my day. Last night Morgan begged me to call Jake. It wasn’t that she was pushing me to connect with my cousin, it was that she was a shit liar, and Jake was bugging the hell out of her. He was demanding a visit. He wanted to see how well she was protected. Problem was, I had too many undercovers at the community to allow strangers inside. After dealing with Jake, I had to take Morgan out of Creed’s Lake to talk to Melissa. Everything was a go, but we hadn’t yet spoken to Melissa about the job.
After a beer and being completely grossed out over the things I saw in that clubhouse, I went to headquarters to discuss the lockdown with the Originals.
“I agree with Creed. Its too early to lift it. There is no guarantee the situation is over but now there’s a heavier cartel presence in the area. That stupid fuck, Shane Doyle, really screwed a hell of a lot of shit up.” Axton said.
“I third that, especially since we have more undercover operatives in the community for a few days. We also have some broken trust with the prospects. A little while longer won’t hurt anyone.” Granger put in his two cents.
“Lets hold off until at least Creed’s return from California.” Magnus said.
“The kids are out of school right now. I think we should allow some family vacations, but other than that it won’t hurt to stay on lockdown. With them out of school they mostly stay here at the lake anyway.” Irons made a good point.
I nodded. “Sure, we could allow some vacations while the kids are still on summer break.”
Drakos agreed. “I think we are all on the same page as far as lockdown. Let’s move on to another important topic. We need fresh meat.”
All of us just looked at him like he had two heads.
He groaned. “We need some new girls. I think the ones we have are bored with us. Three girls chose going to bed early last night instead of sucking dick. I think this lockdown has domesticated them. I caught Kathy baking cookies yesterday.” He paused. “With clothes on.”
Everyone gasped, even Bolton.
He nodded his head. “Yep, supposedly Morgan gave her a...” He made air quotes. “Recipe.” He put his hands down. “And now she has decided she wants a real job.” He rolled his eyes. “I’m not sure how cleaning our cabins and sucking dick isn’t a real job, but okay. Creed, you have to make Morgan stop trying to domesticate our girls before one of us ends up accidently married.”
It was quiet for a few seconds until Granger and I both threw our heads back and laughed.
“This is serious shit, Creed. Serena stopped in the middle of her dance the other night to check one of the prospects for a fever.” Baros shook his head. “She even offered him Tylenol. The little freak was just jerking off under the table and she mistookthat for a fever. So, I propose fresh meat, and let our current girls keep their day jobs.”
I was amused to say the least. “Have you considered that maybe it’s not the girls? You’ve all just gotten lazy. I heard a rumor that someone fell asleep during a blow job the other night.” I pinned my eyes on Magnus.
He shifted uncomfortably in his seat and cleared his throat. “It was a long day, and Morgan gave me some leftovers and a pie. I had a full belly, and I was tired.”
“Do you see the common denominator, Creed? Its Morgan. She is spoiling us and making the girls want relationships and shit.” Drakos complained.
I chuckled. “And shit?”
He nodded. “Yeah and shit. She sent a whole gooseberry pie over to me and didn’t warn me not to eat the whole damn thing. I was sweating on the shitter in the middle of the night, and I didn’t get any blow jobs the next day.”
Magnus laughed. “Ever thought that’s because you stayed over at the club and contaminated the whole place with your stink ass? It was a turnoff to the girls, Drakos.” Magnus asked and Drakos thought about it.
“No, my shit doesn’t stink. It never bothered me before. Anyway, just think about it.” Drakos sat back in his seat.
“The agreement was the girls would be preparing for life outside the community. We are getting Morgan setup to help the ones that need their general education diplomas. She will soon be starting those classes, so hold off. We will replace as they leave. You also have to remember that sucking your dick isn’t intheir job description. We don’t need more girls at this time.” I wasn’t sure any would ever want to leave.
“Fine, but she better not try to give them any other hobbies. They’re busy as it is and many of the guys feel neglected. I swear if I catch even one of them knitting baby clothes they’re out.” He sneered.
We moved on and discussed my deployment, my expectations as far as Morgan while I was gone, security along the outside perimeter, and I assigned Axton to train Jennings so he would be somewhat ready to assist me when I returned from California.
An hour later I was calling my estranged cousin. He had a lot of questions because he had been staying with our grandfather and heard about Creed’s Lake. He was told the same thing as everyone else, that it was a very private community for my MC and the residents were all veterans. He was suspicious and the more I explained why he couldn’t visit the more pissed off he became, which had my hairs standing on end. I was suspicious and asked the one question he needed to answer.
“Are you in love with Morgan?”
“She’s my best friend.” He said on a sigh.
