Page 43 of Knuckle's Dispute

Finally, I manage to focus on the screen in front of me just enough to watch as Barb and Janessa, my Little Fighter, go after one another.The screen shows Janessa slapping the fuck out of Barb and backing up a few steps to put some distance between the two of them.Based on the angle of her head, I know my girl is waiting for the bitch’s next move.She only proves me right when Barb lunges for Janessa and she steps out of the way with ease.A move we’ve practiced countless times at the gym during her self-defense lessons.

I barely hear the guys in the background yelling her name as Barb’s back faces the camera angle we’re currently watching.

“Get my son out of jail right this second, you fucking skank!”Barb yells, her voice hurting my head even more than it already does from the pain I’ve suffered through at the hands of the bikers on the screen keeping Janessa isolated.“I paid you to take this bitch and dispose of her.I suggest you do this right now.”

I know Rancid mentioned being paid by some other woman to get their hands on Janessa.It honestly makes sense that it’s Barb who’s paying the bikers keeping my girl isolated from the men there to help her.Tease is going savage with the need to get to her.I can see the rage filling his face as he tries to fight against the men surrounding him.It doesn’t work because there are too many of them.My best friend isn’t stopping though.He’s doing his absolute best to break through the asswipes keeping him away from my girl.

Aaron is an entirely different story.He’s losing his fucking mind with the need to get to his sister.His entire face is red and veins are sticking out as his body trembles from the rage filling him and straining against the hold those bikers have on him.I’ve never seen anyone straining against someone’s hold as badly as he is in this moment.Not even any of the guys in the club have been this desperate to get to someone they love.

“Stay the fuck away from me!”Janessa’s voice sounds through the speakers of the tablet as my attention turns back to my girl.

Pure fear fills Janessa’s face as she glances around at the bikers already spotting the ones who have been following her multiple times.Those two are first on my list of the dumb fucks to be dealt with.They’ll rot in hell for the rest of their lives and before that happens I’ll make them pay for every second of fear my Little Fighter has lived due to them.

The door of the diner opens once again and two police officers enter.They bypass everyone else heading straight for Barb and David where they stand in front of the bikers so Aaron and Tease can’t get to my girl.I’m honestly not surprised when I watch the officers place handcuffs on Roger’s parents.This is all because of Brick and the information he’s dug up on the entire family of vile creatures.

“What the hell is going on here?”Barb questions, her voice raised as she struggles against the officer’s hold while glaring daggers at my girl who’s trying so hard not to smile in the bitch’s face.

“You’re under arrest, facing multiple charges at this time.Including attempted murder and kidnapping, embezzlement, conspiracy to commit fraud, stalking, blackmail, and multiple other charges,” the officer states loud enough for everyone in the diner to hear as Barb’s entire body goes rigid with the knowledge she’s been caught and can’t buy her way out of this.

“You have no proof of any of that taking place.These are all more lies fed to you by this manipulative, gold digging, piece of shit.She’s already got my son in jail waiting to be sentenced for crimes he didn’t commit,” Barb shouts as if her words are the absolute truth and no one is going to disagree with her.If I were feeling better, I’d laugh at the knowledge this bitch will never be a free woman again.

“The evidence we have against you, your husband, and son didn’t come from Miss Burns.It came from an anonymous source and we have all the documents necessary to send you to prison for the rest of your lives.All three of you.If you continue to resist arrest, I’ll be forced to add more charges against you,” the officer says, sounding bored as hell while trying to force Barb out of the diner.

“You’ll pay for this, Janessa!You’ve never been good enough for my Roger and you’ll find that out sooner rather than later,” Barb shouts one final insult as the cop shoves her out the door of the diner.

My eyes stay locked on Janessa as she almost collapses to the floor of the diner next to a table.I watch on, helpless, as she almost hits her head off the corner.Tease and Aaron manage to catch her just before hitting the floor.Every ounce of my body is itching to go to her and gather her up in my arms.Instead, I feel Omen’s hand on my chest holding me down.

“Let.Me.Up,” I growl, needing to get to Janessa as her eyes flutter closed a few times and I wonder if she’s going to be okay.“Get her help, Omen!She needs to get to the hospital.”

“We’ll get her help, Micah.Right now, you need to keep watchin’.The guys are about to head in and find out what this fucker wants.No one knows you’ve been taken yet.We’ll watch this play out and then get your stubborn ass to the hospital,” Omen tells me, his voice harder than normal as I continue to struggle against him to get to my Little Fighter.

Omen moves the screen back so I can watch what’s going on in front of me.I barely hear Grudge in the background calling for an ambulance to come get my girl.

“Rancid, never thought I’d see you again,” Rooster says, walking in the diner and planting himself right in front of the man I know is supposedly in charge of the group who kept me chained up.

“I’d say it’s a pleasure Rooster, but we all know that would be a lie.I’m honestly surprised you have the balls to show your face here.Looks like you brought a ton of backup.Didn’t think you were really that much of a bitch, Rooster,” Rancid says, his voice hard and cold as he looks at Rooster and the rest of our guys in front of him.

“What the fuck do you want, Rancid?I thought we’d seen the last of you when I beat the fuck outta ya the last time.You almost lost your life if I remember correctly.This time, I won’t go so fuckin’ easy on ya.You got one of my men.A man I feel as if he’s my true son right alongside Omen, Homicide, and the rest of the men surroundin’ me.See, that’s the difference between the two of us.You rule with fear and an iron fist.I run my club more of a family where we’re all essentially equal and aren’t separated based on the strict demands you place on everyone.You’re a fuckin’ prick and no one will ever truly follow you,” Rooster states, his voice full of venom as he steps closer to Rancid.“Again.What the fuck do you want?”

“It’s easy really.Your man isn’t in good shape.I’m afraid he won’t make it much longer unless he gets help.So, here’s what’s gonna happen.You’re gonna make sure he signs over everythin’ he owns.I’ll get all of his money too.Every little possession Knuckles owns, will become mine and that’s all there is to it.On top of that, the little skank will come with us.We have a job to complete and we’re not goin’ back on our word.Besides, I’d like to have a good time with her myself.Got a tight little body on ya,” Rancid says, making my blood boil as my entire body feels like it’s burning from the inside out.

“That’s not gonna fuckin’ happen.None of it.Knuckles is my man and he’ll be comin’ home to us.You really should learn to keep an eye on things where you’re hidin’ out.Wasn’t hard to find you and get him free while you were preparin’ to leave to come here.You don’t have a leg to stand on when it comes to anythin’ regardin’ Knuckles,” Rooster says, his voice loud and clear as he steps right up in Rancid’s personal space.“When it comes to Janessa, you’re not gonna touch one hair on her fuckin’ head.She’s gonna go out with Tease and her brother Aaron to go to the hospital so we know she’s okay.Whatever Barb and David are payin’ ya is obviously not gonna happen now since they were just arrested.”

“That skank isn’t goin’ anywhere other than with us.We’ll use her as our personal slut before killin’ her off like we’re meant to.I bet her pussy is made of gold if you’re all so fuckin’ protective of her.I think I want a taste of it for myself.Spider, grab her from those pieces of shit and get her outta here.We got places to be.I don’t believe for a second that they got their guy outta the house.He’s still there,” Rancid says, turning to face the man closest to him with a glare.“By the way, Rooster, this shit ain’t even close to bein’ over between the two of us.Your entire club is gonna pay.I plan on payin’ Marie a visit really soon.I’m sure she misses me.”

“Stay the fuck away from my wife!”Rooster bellows, his voice making the speakers crackle with how loud he is.“Marie loathes you and will never have anythin’ to do with ya.You lost when we were in high school and you’ll continue to fuckin’ lose.You’re a piece of shit who doesn’t know when he’s truly lost.”

Without another word, the club surrounds Tease and Aaron as they make their way out of the diner with my girl in their arms.My brothers surround Janessa so no one can get close to her.Since there’s only one way out of the diner, Rancid and his group of wanna be thugs can’t leave until we let them.It fits whatever the club has planned for them if you ask me.My eyes slowly start to slide closed as Janessa is removed from the diner and I hear the sirens of the ambulance in the distance.Help is coming for her.That’s all I care about right now.Whatever happens to me is nothing more than what I deserve for treating Janessa like shit for so long.As long as my girl is okay and Kaden is safe in the compound, I’m good and will be okay after I heal from my injuries.
