“I’ll start by telling you that we are not alone in this. Orion has devised a plan. It’s good. It’s solid,” he states.

“But…?” I fill in the hesitation.

“We know he’s out there and we know he has eyes on us. Not just you, but us. He knows the club has you under protection and he is hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity for us to make a mistake,” War spits out. His voice is rough, I can see that he hates being in the defensive state we are in.

“The plan is to let him think we are vulnerable and to let him make his move. We have all areas covered. You will be watched at all times however we are trying to make it look like he may have a shot at getting close,” Risk pipes up.

“Right,” I replied with a shaky breath. War takes my hand.

“We can throw away the plan and just wait for him to get tired of waiting and make his move. We don’t have to do this. If you aren’t comfortable, we stop this right now.”

“No. I want this done. I am not living in fear. I am not letting him rule our lives anymore,” I look at his concerned eyes and frame his face with my hands. “I trust you, War. And I trust Orion and Risk and Guard and all the other guys. I am all in and I am ready.”

He closes his eyes briefly. As he opens them, he covers my hands with his. “You humble me, my beautiful woman. You are resilient, talented and I love you. I will not lose you,” he states firmly.

“You will not lose me,” I confirm.

“Right so let’s get this plan moving,” Risk interjects. He launches into the plan of attack. He unfolds the idea of a diversion and having to send some of the guys to assist another club, thereby making us appear vulnerable. The idea is to let him know that we will be relying on the alarm system in the house to alert us and since he believes himself to know all there is about technical equipment and computers…

According to all the research done by Orion and his crew, they believe he will take full advantage as soon as opportunity is presented. Ava’s shower is coming up on Saturday and if this plays out as expected, this will be done and over by then.

I know where all the guys are going to be, and I know that although I may not see them, they will be around. The hardest part is knowing that War needs to be away for short periods of time to show vulnerability. He hates this more than I do and has been very vocal about it. Orion is right though, this will be over if force the situation. Burner phones are going to be used for real discussions and our regular phones to for generic conversation. Based on Orion’s finding, Jefferson has purchased, on credit, hacking equipment and we are going to lead him to us. Buying on credit means that he is running out of money. Desperate times equals mistakes. This was a mistake and Orion is homing in on him.

Tonight, the guys are having a “meeting”, in other words laying the ground work that they will have to send some of the guys out of town. I am reminded once again that I have a weapon in the house and I have the ability to get free of different holds and run. The Satan’s Pride brothers will be in a meeting with a selected few hiding in the shadows. Chances are that he will not strike tonight, but if he does, I will not go down without a fight.

I spend the night with my guitar. I want to give Ava, Guard, and baby a special gift. The love between Ava and Guard created an incredible extension of themselves filled with the greatness of each parent. What better way to celebrate and encase this special life than with a song made and dedicated to this family? I tease Ava that they should call their little man Avgar. Part Ava, part Guard. I embrace the emotions that I feel when I hear them talk, touch, kiss and even when they do nothing but sit in each other’s company, laughing with the close group of family they have created for themselves. The lyrics start to flow and “Color of the Sky” comes to life.

What would I do without you?

Now that I see you here.

My world would be bland without you,

The colours all disappear.

* * *

The red is the joy you bring me,

The blue is true and real.

The green is hope of future,

The yellow shines through the rain,

The colour of the sky is you and all that you bring.

* * *

What would I do without you?

Now that I see you here.

My world would be bland without you,

The colours all disappear.

* * *
