“Not everybody understands
How we make it
Hold it together when
We feel like breaking
Not everybody knows
What we're made of but
Everybody we know does” - Chase Rice
Pres called church because the runs have still been getting jacked and this time Wrench got his leg fucked up. The gavel bangs and silence immediately follows.
“These assholes are getting more aggressive. They aren’t just going after shipments anymore, they’re coming after us. We will continue changing routes for current customers and until we figure this shit our we take no new runs.”
He looks around the room as most of us are nodding.
“This club is going on lockdown. That means get your old ladies, your kids, anyone who belongs to the club, bring them here. No one leaves without a brother or a prospect. No one rides alone. I will not risk these fuckers getting to anyone we care about.” The gavel bangs. “Get the fuck out of here and take care of your business.”
I can’t wait to explain this shit to Chrissy. My phone buzzes and I look down, speak of the devil. “I was just about to call you. I need you to come to the club.”
“Sure, everything okay?” Her voice shakes a little with worry.
“Everything’s good right now. I’ll explain when you get here.” I hang up and head into the main room. Megan and Tracker are there and her bump is starting to show a bit. “How you feeling?”
Tracker’s eyes go wide and he shakes his head.
Megan sneers at me. “You would ask that.” She walks away and I have no idea what the fuck I did.
“What the hell was that, brother?”
He shakes his head. “She’s legit fucking crazy. Anytime she gets asked how she’s feeling she loses it. She says she feels like shit but you can’t tell people that so she just wants everyone to shut the fuck up and stop asking.”
“Damn, you got your hands full.”
He takes a swig of his beer. “Don’t I know it. This might be our only kid cause I don’t know if I could handle her being pregnant again.”
We laugh and when the door opens Chrissy walks in.
“Have fun telling her about the lockdown.” He laughs as he walks away.
At least my chick isn’t pregnant and fucking crazy. She’s just crazy. “Hey, babe.” I pull her to me giving her a kiss. “How was the house visit you had to make?”
“All good. Just a misunderstanding.” She looks around. “Is there a party or something today. I feel like there aren’t normally as many old ladies and kids here.”
“Not exactly. Let’s go to my room.” I take her hand, knowing she won’t be happy about this, and wanting to avoid her causing a scene. “So, we have a lockdown going on right now.”
“What the hell is that supposed to mean?”
“That means that we bring our girls, kids, and family to the club because there is a safety risk. You guys stay in the clubhouse unless you’re with a brother or a prospect. Brothers are also not allowed to ride alone to keep safe too.” I sit down on the bed exhausted even thinking about all of this stuff.
“So, what the hell am I supposed to do for work? It’s nice that most of the old ladies don’t work or work for the club but I don’t. And before you even say it, I like my job, so don’t even go there.” Her voice is loud and a huge part of me just wants to tune her out right now.
