“None yet, but I’ll let you know. You boys take care. What you did for them folks in them shacks was amazing. I expected nothing less from the Belle Fleur boys.” He chuckled all the way out of the office, waving at the rest of the men as he passed their offices.

“This doesn’t seem like something a biker gang would get into,” said Gaspar. “Even the rottenest bastards on the planet typically do toy drives and shit for Christmas. Is this just some weekend warrior?”

“I don’t know. Let’s see if a few of the brothers will do some road work this week. Get Razor and Skull to finish those cars. I want both of them out there, along with some of Team Big. Send Noah, Noa, Magnus, and Dom. Visit the biker bars, go into the city, anything they need to do. I want to know who this guy is and what he’s doing.”

“You know,” smirked Gaspar. “It’s been a few years since I was active on the bike. I kinda miss the wind blowing through my beard, messing up my hair. We could take a few turns.”

Nine gave him an evil grin, nodding his head up and down.

“You might have something,” said Nine. “We’re doing all this because we’re bored as shit. Let’s get out there and do something. We’ll have a face covering. No one will know who we are. We should get Ghost and Ian, too.”

“Get Ghost and Ian for what?” asked Ghost, walking into the room with Ian.

“A little two-wheeled road trip,” smirked Nine. “Seems the head of this little theft ring is a guy on a bike. Thought maybe we’d do some snooping around. The others have the toys handled. What do you say?”

“Oh, brother. The bike’s been callin’ my name lately,” said Ghost. “Grace doesn’t want me riding as much, but I fucking need to feel the road beneath me.”

“Same. You know how Faith feels about the bikes, but it’s a thrill ride all the way for me. I’ll do it. We’re gonna have to be careful taking the bikes. Aren’t they locked up behind the garage?”

“They are, but we’ve got so many bikes in there right now, they shouldn’t notice even if they went looking for them. Let’s head out early tomorrow morning and see what we can find,” said Nine.

“This is gonna be epic,” smirked Ghost. Gaspar nodded, then sobered.

“Yea. As long as we don’t break a hip.”

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Faith, Erin, Alexandra, Lauren, Grace, and Mary were busy wrapping gifts in Mary’s kitchen. Staring out the cabin windows, she saw twenty men walking toward the docks. That wasn’t suspicious lately, but several of them were wearing leather chaps, motorcycle boots, and hoodies with leather jackets over them.

“Okay. Not to panic anyone, but what the hell are they doing?” she asked the room. The women rushed toward the window, and Faith gasped, racing back toward the front door.

“Ian! Ian Shepard! Where do you think you’re going?” she yelled.

“Sorry, babe. I can’t hear you. Too windy.”

“Ghost! Eric Stanton, you stop right there!” yelled Grace.

“Love you, babe! Don’t worry, I’ll pick up milk on the way back,” he called.

“I cannot believe this,” frowned Alexandra. “I’ve asked Gaspar to not ride as much. I’m worried about him.”

“This is really annoying,” said Erin. “It’s one thing that they’re sneaking around, but now going off on their bikes in the middle of winter. That just seems reckless, and they’re not reckless.”

“You know what?” said Lauren. “You’re right. They’re not reckless. Whatever they’re doing has a purpose, and they need to have a purpose. I know my husband, and I know he’s doing something good. I’m okay with this.”

The women all stared at her, nodding as she put the final bow on a package. They really were trying to be patient, but curiosity was getting to them all.

“I promised I wouldn’t tell,” said the sweet voice of their little spirit, Claudette. “I promised I wouldn’t give any details. But you’re all so nervous and worried. I can feel it.”

“Do you know what they’re doing, Claudette?” asked Erin.

“I know. And I won’t break my promise, but I will tell you that what they’re doing will change lives.”

“Our lives?” asked Grace.

“No. Lives that are far more in need, far more desperate. Your husbands are helping those that will save humanity.”

“What do you mean, Claudette?” asked Faith.
