“Okay, so they’ve identified two possible places where Gnat is staying. We have two people Locks and Remington thought would be good from the Topeka office to do reconnaissance. Gnat most likely saw Beth and we don’t want her knowing we’re on to them. In the short term, until we can get a better barrier, Locks will park a feed truck in front of the gate to the houses. Jesse is working on a secondary way in and we’ll just have to have one of us move it when we go in and out. I think anything is worth keeping the kids safe.”
“Amen, brother,” echoed from multiple brothers.
“Now, I believe Bear has something he’d like to say.”
Bear stood up beside her and turned her chair toward him. “Sunbeam, it seems by MC standards I’ve done everything out of order, but our story has unfolded exactly as it was supposed to. When I didn’t think I was good enough for you, you knocked and beat on my hardened heart until I opened up to let the sun in. I never imagined in my forties I’d be blessed with a woman who knows me better than I know myself and take on three children as if it had been planned all along. Things are crazy right now but you’ve taught me we’re all better together. You already said yes to marrying me but will you ride with me until I leave this earth?”
Scoop handed Bear the cut he’d been hiding underneath the table.
She stood, letting Bear put it on her. Turning to him, she kissed his lips. “I will. Until our time on earth ends.”
She loved her cut but she loved even more what had been put on Bear’s cut. She didn’t know how she’d missed it when they sat down but she remembered he’d had a sweatshirt on his lap. He’d added a patch that readProperty of Bear’s Sunbeam.
“Great. Now let’s go have some of the food I can smell Mom cooking up and fuel up. We’ve got this.”
Chapter Twenty-Six
Bear helped David outof the car seat and situated his hat back on his head. David had let him know quite loudly he didn’t like his hat. Of course, he was going to blame Grant. Grant had said hats were stupid and Roam had corrected him.
Winnie had wanted them to spend time with the kids individually and he’d agreed it was needed. Phoebe talked a lot but David was quiet. He and Winnie both wanted to make sure each child had their own individual time.
Winnie and a couple of her sisters were visiting a farm to pick up a dog for Beth. The farm also had kittens and lambs that Winnie said Phoebe could pet.
Roam had suggested they take the boys to see a colt that had just been born. One of the guys Roam had done a tattoo for had given Roam an open invitation to bring his kids out. So he and Roam had loaded up Grant and David to leave when Rascal, Baron, and Locks had decided to invade their outing. Luckily their SUV seated seven.
“Roam, glad you could make it. Are you guys ready to see the colt?”
The boys nodded. David was still leery around people he didn’t know and tugged on Bear’s jeans to lift him up. Bear sat him on his hip then leaned close to his ear.
“Let’s go see the baby horse. I haven’t ever seen one this young so I’ll need you to hug me tight.”
David nodded and wrapped his little arm around Bear’s neck, tucking his head against Bear’s chest. Bear swallowed and vowed he wasn’t going to get misty-eyed at his son leaning on him, trusting Bear to keep him safe.
David closed his nose with his fingers when the smell of horses and manure reached their noses.
Grant turned around to where he’d run and looked for David. “Smells like poop but not as bad as sissy’s.”
