“Nobody likes a know it all, Bear,” Rascal sniped while glaring at his son.

“Okay, let’s move on to the next item. We all know hindsight’s twenty/twenty. We’ll fix it.”

It had taken him a couple of days after council to think of a suitable payback for the bike incident. Maybe if the pictures hadn’t ended up all over, he could have let it slide but everywhere he went, someone mentioned it. Their Texas chapter had even sent a box of replacement supplies with pink heels with different decorations on them. Their note said his motorcycle wouldn’t want to wear the same heels all the time.

He’d ridden to Dodge City today with Cannon to pick up some supplies for the gun shop. The guy at the gun shop made it a point to ask if all the Bluff Creek Brotherhood were redoing the bikes the same way. He’d grunted no, instead of hitting the guy like he wanted. He was proud he’d held back but it had been a trial. Cannon hadn’t stopped laughing.

They’d stopped for lunch at a bar his dad recommended. He’d met the brothers Whiskey, Hennessey and Schaefer who owned the bar and had a lot to say about Remington and her sisters. The fact the girls were banned from the bar was nice because he now had one place he for sure could get away from Remington. Whiskey had been the one to inadvertently give him the idea for payback. He had no idea Remington still drove the 1976 metallic lime Chevy Monte Carlo the sisters had all learned how to drive in. He’d immediately texted Scoop on how to get access to the car. He appreciated classic cars just as much as he did motorcycles. He wouldn’t hurt the car, just give Remington a little payback she deserved. He and Cannon could stop at the party store on the way out of town. His response would be appropriate to what she’d done to him, notifying her he wasn’t a pushover, but it wouldn’t be an escalation. At least, he didn’t think it would be. Maybe he’d get a couple other opinions. He wasn’t a fan of group texts, but is would probably be easiest for this.

War: Planning payback for Remington’s crap with my bike. No escalating, just appropriate. Thinking glitter and confetti from the air vents and then decorations inside the Monte Carlo.

Bear: You sure you want to start this? Any reply is an escalation and women are devious.

Scoop: Seems pretty harmless to me. Annoying like yours was but not out of line. Even though she drives the car the most, the office has a duplicate set of keys on the wall. Easy enough to lift.

Flick: Glitter can cut or damage her eyes if it blows directly in her face. Confetti should be light enough you won’t have to worry about hurting her.

Bear: Can we have warning and go into a partial lockdown? This is going to piss off your girl and I’d prefer to not be in the firing range.

War: She’s not MY GIRL!

Cannon: I think he’s protesting too much.

Roam: She’s not going to see it as paying her back from your bike. She’s going to see it as an escalation because the bike was payback for you calling her princess. Do what you want but don’t come crying to me when it’s an all-out war with all of her sisters. I’ve seen stuff over the years with how she handles a problem.

War: Are we an MC or is this preschool? She and her sisters aren’t going to damage the relationship between us. Do we need to have some of you big babies go through prospecting again?

Scoop: I’m in.

Cannon: Ditto.

Bear: I never said I wasn’t in, Mr. President. I asked if we could mitigate the retaliation which is what we do anytime we consider action against someone. Are your feelings a little touchy about her?

Baron: Retaliation is appropriate as long as Noah’s car isn’t damaged. I will not deal with the fallout from that.

War: Who the fuck added him to the text?

Rascal: I had Roam add us both because I was reading over his shoulder at the shop. You feel free to talk bad about us and let’s see how your next tattoo looks.

War paused before replying. How had this gotten so out of control? His dad had a good point, but he wasn’t in high school. He’d already considered how to do it without damaging the car. He had as much appreciation for the classic car as he did for his motorcycles, but it wasn’t stopping him from a little payback. He’d gotten his responses and needed to shut this down.

War: I appreciate everyone’s input. I’ll get confetti instead of glitter. I want to inconvenience not hurt anyone.

He and Cannon needed to get on the road and get back. It wasn’t that he didn’t appreciate Baron and Rascal’s input. It was having someone else make the decision for him. Roam still deferred to his dad, which he could understand because Baron had been president a long time, but Roam needed to stop seeing his dad in that capacity and accept him as president.
