Zoey and I are sitting in my office shooting the shit when my door slams open and my Pops, Noodles, Enforcer, and Panther stroll in, all with huge smiles on their faces. Oh fuck, getting that familiar tingle down my spine when shit is about to hit the fan.
“Daughters of mine, we got them. Little shits got themselves into a situation in Wyoming with a bunch of, I don’t know, street kids or a gang of fucking city losers. Anyway, a bunch of men put their hands on Kitty and Dottie. Our girl, Hannah, and Dani came to the rescue with guns out for all to see. Word got to the cops and then word got back to Enforcer here from one of his many‘friends.’This is not on the record, so the four wild prospects are good to go. I also know right where they are at the moment. It’s your call, Maggie.”
Looking around the room for some guidance, my heart has one answer, but my head is telling me we need to move out. Fuck, this is going to turn into a clusterfuck, especially with all the guys involved. But if those four morons are handling shit with the weapons in the SUV theyborrowedfrom the club, it’s only a matter of time before they are locked up or, even worse, kill someone or get themselves hurt.
“All right, thanks, Pops, and you too, Enforcer. Need a few minutes with Zoey, then we’ll be out to let y’all know our decision.”
When they finally remove their asses from my office, I look to my bestie and know before I even ask the question what she’s going to say.
“So what do you think? Do we need to make the trip down there? Now, bestie of mine, make sure you take your emotions out of the situation and think what’s best for the club and those four idiots. Now, let’s talk about this like adults, Zoey.”
“First, Goldilocks, you know I always put our club first. Now, yeah, I’m emotional but because Squirt is involved. We, and I mean you and me with our club, need to go down there and teach those prospects how all of your actions have a reaction. So that’s what I think, Prez, the time has come. We need to ride.”
After we both agree to our decision, now we need a plan because our whole club can’t just jump on their motorcycles and ride down to Texas like it’s a leisurely poker run, for Christ’s sake. We have businesses and shit that need to be handled. This is where Zoey and I come together and between the two of us, we manage to pick a group to go down there and get the job done, while the others stay up here in Montana making sure everything runs smoothly. Now to face the troops.
“Zoey, this isn’t going to be fun, and you damn well know Pops is going to have his say, so be prepared. Remember Hannah is his also and since she came back, he babies her like she’s six or seven, not a grown-ass woman. And she plays on his feelings all the time, the little brat.”
“I know, Goldilocks, been telling you this shit forever but you don’t listen. All you process is what, where, when, and how Noodles is doing. You’re a goner, sister.”
“Like you have room to talk, bestie. Zoey, you split your life in half so you can spend time at his ranch and here, your home. So don’t go trash-talking me when you ain’t that far behind me. Let’s get this shit done, you crazy in love fuck.”
Walking into the main room, it’s packed with Devil’s Handmaidens, Pops’s Intruders, and Ollie’s Blue Sky Sanctuary folks. Damn, what a clusterfuck. I’m gonna tan Hannah’s ass for this one. Zoey is snickering right behind me, so I turn and glare at her.
“Yo, biotch, I can hear you, knock off the smart-ass chuckling right behind me. Remember, I got to look badass so quit making me want to laugh too.”
I can hear her trying to hold in her laughter, which is making it worse. I take a few minutes to give giggler behind me time to compose herself. Real nice, our bad as fuck enforcer giggling like a goddamn two-year-old.
“Hey, can I get everyone’s attention?”
Nothing, they keep talking in their groups so I raise my fingers to my mouth and send out an ear-splitting whistle to get their attention.
“Now, that’s better. So after much discussion we’ve decided that a bunch of us are needed, so we’re going down to that MMM23 book signing to wrestle and bring back our four runaway prospects. Before anyone says a word, it’s already decided who’s going to go. Of course, Zoey and I are going down, tagging along with us from the Devil’s Handmaidens MC is Glory, Rebel, Wildcat, and Heartbreaker. I’m sure my sisters can understand who is staying behind. Y’all are intricate to our businesses in town and on the ranch. I need to make sure all businesses stay up and running while we get our asses down to North Houston. At first, I wasn’t going to go down there but after we discussed it, we need to make an example out of these runaways.
“Don’t bust a vein, Pops, yeah, you can tag along with your sidekick, Enforcer. Dude, no lip from you today, not in the mood. If you want to bring one more brother that’s great, just has to be able to ride like the devil. Maybe that prospect we spoke about before, it’s up to you.
“Ollie, it’s up to you if you want to send some of your folks. We got a ton but I’m guessing Noodles is coming along with Panther, which also means probably Avalanche. I think we’re covered but it’s your call, my friend.
“Now our mission is to recover the prospects who are running wild. Let’s get down to business so we can leave at first light. They’ve gotten a good head start, but I’m thinking as long as we get to Lake Conroe before the morning of May twentieth we’ll be okay. Anyone have anything to add or comment? Okay, let’s plan this shit out. Heartbreaker, would you and Peanut mind putting some coffee on? Kiwi, can you get us some sandwiches, guessing this is going to be another long as fuck night, I can feel it. Thanks, sisters.”
EIGHT
‘KITTY’
RUBY
Waking up in a strange bed has my skin crawling. I could have shared a room with Hannah, but she didn’t seem too thrilled with that idea. I get it, first time she’s by herself without everyone watching her back. For me though, it totally sucks, but I’ll never let anyone know.
After making sure my socks are on, so my feet don’t touch the carpet, which probably has a million germs on it, I make my way to the bathroom. It’s sparkling now because last night I cleaned it and sprayed it with Lysol. So I can use it now knowing everything is okay. I use the facilities, brush my teeth, and comb my straight long brown hair until it glistens, and I put it in a ponytail. Next up, I turn the shower on so I can do a quick rinse. I did a thorough shower last night after we ate and had some of the chocolate Hannah got from her secret admirer. It was actually a really fun night with the four of us just getting to really know each other, letting our hair down, and lots of laughs.
I’m not sure how Tink and Shadow are able to pick women who have been through hell and back to prospect for the Devil’s Handmaidens MC, but they hit it right on the head with the four of us. Each of us has a unique story, different but at the same time similar. That’s why we all can work for the common cause of getting rid of abusers and human trafficking for good, and work to giving survivors a chance to find a better life.
Once I’m washed, dried, and dressed, I pull my prospect kutte on and sit on the edge of my made bed. Well, I didn’t think this through, not sure what to do next. And at the precise moment my cell phone rings, so without looking at it I answer on the second ring.
“Hey, pussy cat, you ready for some breakfast before we leave?”
Hearing Hannah laughing with the name she keeps calling me, I smile.
