King looked at me and I could see the sorrow in his eyes when he added, “Valhalla is calling in some specialist. She wants to wait until he shows up and concurs with her assessment.”

I nodded.

“Look, brothers,” King began. “Trip wouldn’t want us to stop living. Our brother believed that life was meant to be lived to the fullest. Fucking daredevil bastard. I swear if he pulls through this shit, I’m going to beat his fucking ass. Why the fuck wasn’t he wearing his helmet?”

“Callum,” Gunner spoke up. “I vote from now on, every fucking brother, woman, and child for that matter, who steps near a bike, wears a fucking helmet. I don’t care if you are just going to town for coffee. I want everyone in full riding gear from now on.”

“I second the vote,” I agreed.

“All in favor?” King asked the room and every hand shot up.

“I find anyone not wearing a helmet, and you will spend a month on the obstacle course. By the time I’m done with you, you’ll wish you died. Got it?”

Everyone nodded.

“Frank, you and Lidi had already retired for the evening when a visitor arrived. Ravage showed up along with Ink’s sister, Karlyn. She woke up during the attack on the Golden Skulls. The same night those fuckers attacked us.”

“We at war, Prez?” I questioned, sitting up straighter.

“No. But Ravage took the wives and kids.”

“What about Jess?” I asked. “She belongs to us too.”

Gunner glared. “My niece isn’t going anywhere near that fucking mess. She and the kids will stay with us until Savage shows up for them.”

“Agreed,” Pyro stated, crossing his arms over his chest.

Jessica Keller was the only living reminder of Cassandra Montclair, the only sister to King, Gunner, and Pyro. They loved Jess and her kids. We all enjoyed having her around.

Her husband, Savage... not so much.

“Enigma is being released from the hospital today. Banks is with him. Sugar has offered to babysit the annoying fucker until he can return to his duties. That means she will be staying with us for a while. That gonna be a problem with you two?” King asked, looking at Gunner and Scribe. The entire club knew that both brothers had spent time with Sugar a time or two. Scribe, being the one who visited her the most.

“Nope.” Scribe grinned. “Sugar and I are good.”

“What about you, Gunner?”

“Got no problem with her.”

“Alright then,” King sighed. “Next up is Charlie.”

Flinching, I looked at King. “What about my son?”

“Scribe and I have sat down with Diana Peters. Frank, buddy, I don’t know how to say this, but it’s not looking good. Richmond CPS got the preliminary DNA testing back this morning. As of right now, the petitioner looks to be Charlie’s biological dad.”

“So,” I growled. “Who gives a fuck? Where the fuck has he been all this time? Not with his son or Charlie’s bio mom, who abandoned her son in a fucking alley. Got love for all of you, but I will tear this fucking world apart before I let anyone take Charlie from Lidi.”

“Frank,” Scribe sighed, sitting up and looking around the room. “We all know how you feel about that little boy, but the law is on Charlie’s dad’s side.”

“I’m Charlie’s dad!” I roared, jumping to my feet.

“Sit down, Franklin,” my brother Georgie said, walking into the room, looking haggard and in desperate need of sleep. “Got a call from Granny. She told me to tell you not to worry.”

“How can I not? This is my son we’re talking about!”

“Do you honestly think Granny will allow anyone to take Charlie away from you or Claudia? Granny’s claimed him, and you know what that means.”

“No,” I muttered, shaking my head.
