“Panther, I’ve thought about it, but no matter how much you pay a plastic surgeon, someone else can pay more to obtain information about your transformation surgery. Not to mention their employees, who have to be a part of the procedure. And I kind of like my face, though had no idea growing up I shared it with Zeona. Or as each of you know her as Shadow or Zoey.”

Shadow again gives Celee a shoulder bump and I’m glad Celee is building something with her cousin. I think they both can use it for different reasons.

“Shadow, once I’m done with breakfast, I’ll get a hold of Fury.”

Bullet is on his phone, probably trying to get a hold of Spitfire, when he looks up at me.

“Brother, I just sent Fury a text. He said he can be here within the hour so we should all hang. He wants me to reach out to Stitch, Beast, Karma, and Bubba to get their asses here too.”

“That works. Gives the women time to visit before we get down to business. Any news from Montana and the Thunder Cloud Knuckle Brotherhood, or have they not resurfaced?”

As Avalanche starts to fill me in on the shit with that asshole racist group and how they were working with Juice in Nevada, I make a plate for myself. When I place it on the island, I feel something warm, and when I look up, Celee is looking at me with a smile on her face. She mouths, “Thank you,”and gives me a cute grin. That right there makes my heart feel good, which actually scares the shit outta me. Looking to the side of Celee, Shadow is watching and she mouths, “Hurt her and you’re dead.”That almost gives me a heart attack. Shit, I’m fucked either way. All I can do is my best to make sure Celee comes outta this on top.

FURY

After replying to Bullet,I hit Chains’s name on my contacts and listen to it ringing.

“Yeah, brother, whatcha need?”

“Chains, we’re going over the plan at the prospect’s apartment in about an hour or so. Need you there but a warning, Shadow, Panther and Avalanche are already there. Wanted to give you a heads-up.”

“Fury, got no problem with the men, but if Shadow throws attitude, that’s a different story. Though I’ve heard she’s mellowed a bit since she hooked her star to Panther, we’ll see. Need anything else?”

“No, that should do it. What’s going on over there? I can her Luna May laughing.”

“Yeah, we just showed her the jungle gym thing we bought for her. She can’t decide what she wants to do first. She’s such a riot, dude. And Winnie is beside herself, so that means so are Jackson and me. We’ve come full circle, ya know?”

As I shoot the shit with Chains, I find myself shaking my head a lot. He’s been through hell then fought his way back, so I’m glad he’s finally enjoying his husband and wife. Now they have a daughter, so I see good things for him in the future. We agree to meet at the apartment, which for me is a walk across my driveway. I’m working in my garage on my 1967 GTO, so I’ve got some time to get this carburetor rebuilt or close to it.

I’m praying this plan works because, otherwise, Celestina is going to either be on the run, end up getting plastic surgery, or going up to Montana and living on the ranch. And if she picks option number three, I think we might lose a prospect. Dingo is gone on her, no doubt. I’m glad, been worried about that brother. Know his old man was a prick and his life before the Grimm Wolves was shit. Just hope he’s feeling like he has some hope and direction now. If he wants, Brick and I can talk to Tank, see if he can finish prospecting with the Intruders. He’s pretty tight with Enforcer, so he won’t be walking in blind and totally new. First things first, got to get Celestina out of this fucking mess she made, even though she was trying to help others. Seems like that’s the story of life, when you try to do good things, sometimes it bites you in the ass.

I hear a commotion at the door right before Talon and Rogue come barreling ass right to me. They stop, I mean, not even a foot from where I’m working, then go on the other side of the GTO and scrunch down. Oh fuck, what did these two kids do now? I don’t hear it at first, but as she gets closer I can hear Abby screaming at the top of her lungs. Fuck, they had to really mess up ’cause my ol’ lady usually is calm and collected.

“Okay, we don’t have much time, break it down for me. What did you two get into now? She’s pissed.”

They look at each other and when Rogue nods at Talon, he then looks at me, taking a deep breath first.

“Okay, it’s like this, Mom wanted us to clean our rooms and also scrub down our bathrooms. Well, the bedrooms were bad enough but shit, man, the toilets are gross. So we threw everything in our walk-in closets and then put all the towels and shit in the hamper. Squirted that bleach stuff in the shower and in the sink. Filled the toilet with cleaner too.”

“So why is your mom just about to commit hara-kiri on your asses?”

“Well, we used so much bleach we both started coughing, so we opened the windows to get the smell out, and started spraying that air cleaner stuff.”

“Okay, Talon, get to it.”

“Well, we forgot we lit candles and when we sprayed the air spray shit, it kinda exploded and made a total fuckin’ mess. I think Rogue started a towel on fire. The fire alarm thing was beeping, so we ran.”

Motherfucker, did these two morons burn our house down, for Christ’s sake? As I’m running out, Abby is almost to the door.

“Momma, is the house okay? Did they start it on fire?”

“Well, kinda, but it’s okay. I took care of it. Where are my two hellions? Going to send them back to hell, I’ve had enough of their bullshit. They make the mess but don’t want to clean it. Done, Wyatt, you hear me? I’m fucking done.”

I grab her, pulling her close. She’s so mad she’s shaking. Son of a bitch, and Brick wanted to go through this shit and, damn, he’s got three. Lunatic, that’s what he is.

“Momma, explain how you took care of it, please?”

“Hot Stuff, I grabbed the towel that was on fire and threw it in the tub that smelled like a gallon of bleach was dropped in it. Thank God it didn’t start on fire. Then I turned the shower on and put the towel out. Now, where are they?”
