ONIX 1
“Are you sure about this darling? I think this is too dangerous for you to leave everything and go on a wild goose chase.” I look over my shoulder at my mom and see her worried look as she rubs her hands nervously against her skirt. Letting go of the shirt I am folding I turn to look at her. In the last six months since Linda’s disappearance, I have seen how the worry of not knowing where she is ravishes her.
The bubbly loving woman that I have known my whole life is now a shadow of herself.Sincethe day that Linda disappeared we have done everything in our power to find her. To be honest I’m out of options, this is my last lead and I’m hoping that this motorcycle club which I’m on my way to meet will be able to help me.
“I will be fine mom,” I hug her close,feeling her fragile bones under my touch, “I will keep in touch every day I promise.” I step back looking down at the familiar loving face. “Mom I will find her.” I see a tear trickle down her cheek, lifting my hand I stroke it away.
“Why hasn’t she phoned, or let us know where she is?”Sheasks for the hundredth time.
“I don’t know, but you know how she is, Linda has always been dippy when it comes to keeping in touch.” I stroke her cheek again, “Remember that time she went camping with her friends when she was in high school?”
My mom nods, a sad smile lifting her lips, “I will find her, and when I do, I am going to kill her for worrying us.” My mom lifts her hand stroking my long brown tresses behind my ear.
“You know how she is love; she has always been a rebel.”
“Yes, but her rebellion has cost us dearly.” I have had to put in leave without pay, as an upcoming lawyer trying to makepartner this was the worst time for her to disappear. When I get back, I will have to try and make up for all the time that I am missing.
Linda has been mixed up with the wrong crowd ever since school, I have been getting her out of trouble ever since I can remember. I pray that she’s okay, but I’m worried that she isn’t.I haven’t told my mom because I don’t want her to worry, but from information that I have gathered so far the people she is involved with are not the type that I can deal with by myself like before.Thatis why the private investigator I hired guided me towards this motorcycle club that I am headed towards to ask for help.
He promises me that they are not involved in shady business, I am going out on a limb on this one, but I don’t have any other options. I’m not someone that likes to sit around waiting for something to happen.I like to be the one in charge of my own fate and up to now I haven’t been able to get on top of this.
When the WolverineMC’sname came up, I jumped at the opportunity.NowI just need to make sure that they agree to help me. “I will get her back.” I say with a smile at my mom to calm her as I turn back to my luggage. I don’t know how long this is going to take,butI need to make sure that I take everything that I might need.
“Are you sure these men are reliable?”
“Yes mom, I have looked into all the men, there is nothing really worrying about them. There are no drug charges against any of them, the only charges I found was for fighting.”
“Well just be careful, I don’t want to have to worry about you too.” To be honest in my younger years I did give my mom a few concerns, but I have been good for a couple of years now. Ever since graduating I have kept my instincts tampered. I am naturally an inquisitive person, to tamper my natural instincts is sometimes difficult,but I have managed. I’m a spontaneous person therefore,when I became a lawyer there was a lot that I had to change about myself. I find it difficult many times to not do things that my instinct tells me to do, but the life I chose dictates that Ineed tobe cool and collected at all times.
When we couldn’t getahold of Linda, I nearly lost that cool, but then the private investigator followed Linda’s trail to a town up north.Fromwhat he says she is involved in a biker’s club called the Hades MC. I would have gone directly to the Hades club but was warned that they are mixed up in some bad stuff, and after getting the report from the PIonthe investigating he didonthem I foundoutthat they have warrants for nearly all the men in that club.On thecontrary to the Wolverine MC,the Hades men have warrants for everything from drugs to murder.
That is why I intend to acquire the help of the Wolverine MC.Theprivate investigator informed me that the Wolverine and the Hades are rivals and the quickest way for me to find Linda is through them. I have been given a name, King. ThePI told me that the only way to get help from them is to speak to him. Apparently, he is the President of the Wolverine MC and he’s the one that I need to convince to help me find Linda.
No matter what happens I need to try and find her, I know she is a handful but she’s my sister and as such I will always protect her. Linda is older than me by two years, but you would never saythatwith her behaviour. In my twenty-seven years I have done some mad things in life, but I have also worked hard to become something in life. Meanwhile,all Linda has done with her life is throw everything away with one mistake after another.
We had the bad luck of having a father that liked kids more than he should, I think that I have so much patience for Linda because I feel guilty of what she did for me. She stood in my place every time when Dad would come into our room. I know that the whole rebellion started because of what our father did to her, but I have tried to help her, repeatedly, but she doesn’t want to change. I love my sister and I will do anything for her, I just hope she didn’t get more than she bargained for this time.
“I think the taxi is here Darling.”Momsays as she looks out the window, “you can still change your mind.” She says as she looks over her shoulder at me.
“I will be fine, don’t worry.” I say as I zip up my bag, pulling it off the bed.I look around one more time to make sure that I have everything. I’m not someone that likes clutter therefore my apartment is sparselyfurnished. I rented this apartment three years ago and have loved the independence that it afforded me. Living at home was great and the three of us used to be like the three musketeers,but we grew up and had to move on. I like my own space, like having the option of choosing what I want and when I want it. I think that is why I have never found a man that has captured my interest for more than a couple of months as I am too strong willed to betapereddown.
“Make sure to phone me as soon as you land.”
“I will mom,” I say as I pull my suitcase behind me walking towards the door. Before I step outside, I stop, turning I see her standing at the door with a worried look. Taking a step back I place my arms around her once more and hug her close. “See you soon.”
“You better.”Shemutters before I let go and make my way towards the taxi. She has a key to my apartment in case of any eventuality.I asked her to keep an eye on my plants while I’m gone, mostly to keep her busy and to get her out of the house.
I’m renting a car as soon as I land, hopefully finding Linda won’t take too long as I’m spending more money than I anticipated in trying to find her. I haven’t booked a place to stay yet as I’m not sure what is going to happen with the MC, I have tried to phone twice before but both times am told that King isn’t in and will get back to me, which he never does.
It wasn’t easy getting this time off work, I need to make sure that I make it count because every day is another day that Linda is in danger. If this King guy would only have answered his phone.I was hoping to have acquired their help without having to have left home, but because he didn’t have the decency to return my calls,I now have to go all the way there and make sure I convince him before I can come back.
The flight is thankfully short and in no time, I am in a rental heading towards the address that the PI sent me. I know that this situation has a lot to be desired but looking around I feel an excitement within myself that I haven’t felt in a very long time. The area is beautiful as its spring and the flowers are all out in bloom. I slide down my windows feeling the fresh air circulating around me, my hair blowing gently around my face. It has been such a long time that I have taken time just for myself.Usually,I am running around at work trying to find enough evidence to put some asshole away and if I’m not at work I’m at the children’s shelter volunteering.
I know that my childhood shaped my decision in becoming a lawyer and when the opportunity arose for me to volunteer, I jumped at it. Knowing that I can at least try and help those children to have a better life than what they have had till now drives me to do the best that I can with each case that I have.
“Where the hell is this place?” I mutter as the GPS directs me past the Town.Abouta mile out of town I hear a loud pop and then the steering becomes heavy. Oh darn, that is all I needed driving the car to the side of the road Istop, sliding out of the car,Iwalkaround the front of the car to see the fronttireof the passenger side completely flat. Well, that must be quite a big puncture for the wheel to deflate so quickly. Looking around I frown; I am completely isolated.Thereare trees all around and from the looks of it not many cars travel this road.
Walking back to my side I lean into the car to grab my phone; I have never changed atirebefore, I know what the basics are, but nothing like Google to help me out. “Oh, come on.” I mutter exasperated as I realize that there is no signal. Huffing in anger,I slide the phone into the back pocket of my jeans as I look for theleverto open the boot.
