“Rival club that Pres locked in the bunker. Mase said the plan was protection money or whatever they could steal.”
A slap to my back has me turning fast. “VP Logan Done, this is Pres Bishop from Law at Veritable.”
VP smiles. “I’m honored, Bishop. I’ve heard a lot about you, mostly from Hannah and Chris and it was all good.”
I look around seeing the flying kids move to the stairs with the Alpha-Bit. Mader and Shep, two big Night Stalkers that do ground Ops, drag bikers to a truck, Prospects load the truck like it’s a job they’ve done before. Spotting my girl as of this morning I smile then freeze like she’s got hands on me. Vapor slaps her hand on a biker’s balls and my head won’t turn away. He freezes and tells the big dude beside him to step back. The dude doesn’t have the chance. Vapor’s other hand is on his balls and by the high-pitched yell, she isn’t gentle. Both men, who must outweigh her by at least a hundred-and-thirty-pounds drop.
I take a breath, not realizing I wasn’t breathing and turn away as soon as Shep pulls the bigger one away. Mader has the other guy. A girl running has my eyes drawn back to Vapor.
VP laughs. “She’s going to teach the girls how to stop men in their tracks. It’s good because men aren’t sharing that one.”
Bishop laughs. “I’ve never told anyone but Hannah tells the trainees. They’d use pressure points on us.”
I look at them wondering if they realize how crazy they are. “That girl is like twelve.”
They stop and stare at me. “Cort uses it, Kristos, Brinks, Hannah, Freedom and everywoman trained here gets that. Those kids were stolen back, that one you think is twelve was a slave. They need to know how to keep themselves safe. They’ve lived in hell, we teach them so they never go back to it.” Bishop’s deep voice gives those words patiently but with an edge that says he’s all for teaching them himself.
“The girl isn’t from the rescue.”
VP turns me and I see Kristoff. “Guardian. Kristoff has Shay and a new Alpha-Bit Protector trainee. I didn’t know there was Alpha-Bit Protectors.”
I look and see Kristoff near an Alpha-Bit in a flight suit with the girl by Vapor. “I didn’t know there was a Shay. I met a couple of the kids. How many kids are there at Guardian?”
“Michaels and White Wave have ten now. Shay helps with the new ones.” Bishop gets his normal deep voice back.
I nod. “I’m usually at Veritable for PD law when the kids do their scheduled class. I only see them if they’re testing or I’m needed at the Club.”
“Why did you train at Veritable?” Bishop asks surprising me.
“Marli asked me to do the class in the big meeting room. I did and told her I can still do it since my time here is as a legal consult. Law trainees can go there or they watch it virtual.”
VP laughs. “He didn’t know. I’m sure you’ll both hear so I’ll give you the plan for me. I’m here for two months to help train Badass and our Bible to the new Club like the FBI boot camps. After that I'm in a different new Club and Julius is the VP here.”
“Are you kidding? I’m still learning Badass, just finished the flight suit.” My brain is stunned like a brick landed on it.
Bishop laughs. I hit his arm without taking my eyes off VP. His hands go up. “Justice said I’m here for two months, then I’m in the new Club. Mucimi said you step into VP.”
Mucimi appears because this isn't crazy enough. “I was telling him after I got the lists to the new security.”
VP nods. “What’s the list? I can’t read you.” This is not the question I want answered.
Mucimi answers without even a glance my way, but I know he reads everything. “I did businesses they can open and kid, Indian and vet needs. Mase had me get his for them, it’s the Clubs and what they train for. Pres Vapor had me give an SOP book. I didn’t read it, it said SOP on it.”
I smile. “Thanks. You put them in the bunker?”
“With tablets that have them uploaded. There are ten tablets. They’ll have to share.” Mucimi is a funny Brother that should answer my questions instead of talking like I don’t have any.
He raises up and kisses my head. “Glad you think so. Pres Falcon had me leave you the VP info you’re training in forHigh Officer. Next month you’re on a rotation of all the Clubs for perspective.” He disappears.
Bishop and VP laugh while my head spins.
I lean on the handrail. Complete and utter chaos is fuckin’ crazy.
