Page 32 of Chaos
Nodding, he turns away from his computers and heads for the bathroom. Closing the door to his room, I head for my office. I want to call Judge to check in and let him know a little of what Keys found. He doesn’t answer which is unusual. Every single time we have rung him, he has answered within a couple of rings. The uneasy feeling in my stomach is stronger, so I try him again with no luck. Yeah, something is definitely not right. Deciding to try Archer, seeing as his Prez isn’t picking up.
“Archer.”
Instantly his voice is off.
“Chaos, what’s happened?”
“I was just about to ring you. It’s not good and I hate that I am having to tell you this Chaos, but Judge is dead.”
I say nothing for several minutes, just letting it sink in. Judge is dead. This is going devastate Liv.
“Dead?”
“Yeah, someone ran him off the road over the edge of a trail around here. His bike burst into flames, there was no saving him. Had to be identified by dental records. Fuck, it killed me seeing him like that.”
I can only imagine how seeing not only a brother but your Prez like that will mess with your head.
“You getting support if you saw him like that Archer?”
This life is hard and, in my club, we don’t mess around with our mental health. I know it is a taboo subject around a lot of men as we need to show we are strong and can handle anything. To me, it shows strength to admit you need help.
“Yeah, I’m good. We need to tell Liv before Dyno does.”
“Why would Dyno be telling Liv?”
“Judge died two days ago, wanted to make sure it was him before we told you, but Dyno has been strutting around like he’s won the lottery. Saying he’s now Prez, even though we haven’t voted on it and Judge hasn’t had a funeral. Keeps saying how as club princess, Olivia’s place is here.”
I’m seething by this point.
Is he fucking for real?
“That bastard is not getting his hands on Liv. I’ve claimed her as my Ol’ Lady. It’s done. I wouldn’t put it passed Dyno to be the one to run him off the road. I warned Judge to be careful.”
“Chaos, we all warned Judge to be careful. Just keep Liv safe and we will keep you in the loop with funeral. I am sorry this has fallen on your shoulders to tell her. I wish it was different.”
Fuck he sounds broken;I know him and Judge have been friends for a long time despite the age difference. It was almost as if Archer was a second son to Judge. Plus, Archer was close with Voodoo.
“I know, we both wish it was different, but I’ll look after her and make sure she’s okay. Keep me posted.”
I just finished the call when Twisted bursts through the office door.
“Sorry Prez, but you need to come quick to the gate,” he says out of breath and starts run back the way he came.
Fuck, now what? This day is going to hell.
Heading through the main room, I hear Liv screaming outside and I take off at a run, heading for the gate. The sight that greets me makes my heart stop. Liv is on her knees, crying in pain, while screaming at someone at the gate. Riot has her pulled into him, trying to protect her and calm her down.
“What the fuck is going on?” I bellow, getting close to the gate.
I finally get a clear look at the person at the gate.
Jesus Christ.
Dyno is standing there, looking all proud of himself. Now I am closer, I can just make out what Liv is screaming.
“You fucking liar. Take it back.”
The pain in her voice hits me straight in the chest.
