I shook my head, smiled and leaned back in to respond. “I’m here on business. The Roadsters are trying to fuck with someone that’s mine. I have to deal with them before they get to her.”
Dan stepped back, pushed his long Sandy blonde hair off his black shirt and nodded his head. He leaned back in and said. “Well, if you need any help, you know where I am Brother! I’ll forever be
in your debt after what happened in Jacksonville.” I patted him on the back, nodded towards the ladies and sat down. Just as I started paying attention to the brunette dancing in front of us. Blade walked over with our beers, pulled his cell out of his pocket and sat down.
Just as I was about to point out the blonde chick I heard him say, “Holy Shit!” I looked at him and said, “What’s up?” Blade looked at me with his eyes
wide and showed me his phone. All that was there was a picture of Blade’s girl Casey holding a pregnancy test with a positive symbol. I smiled and patted Blade on the back. He looked stunned for a minute before he smiled and texted her back. I called the waitress over and ordered three shots of Tequila to celebrate.
Blade took his shot and continued texting Casey instead of paying attention to the ladies.
I patted Dan on the shoulder, leaned in and said, “We’re horrible company tonight. We’ll have to try this again some other night.” Dan nodded and stood up to give me his one armed bro hug. Blade already walked out, looking at his cell phone as he opened the door. He stopped by his bike and waited on me to catch up. I stepped up to the curb, grabbed my helmet and said, “Put your cell phone away until you get back. Casey will understand. She wants you to come home alive.” Blade smiled and said, “Aye Prez. Just excited. I guess I’ll have to make her my ol’ lady.” He said the final word as he was putting his cell in his pocket.
I smiled over at Blade and said, “Let’s get back to the rooms and get some sleep. We have a busy day tomorrow.”
Blade nodded and waited for me to put my bike in gear. I pulled away from the curve and headed towards the hotel. Time seemed to have slipped by us, because it was only an hour from the break of dawn and our day was going to start sooner than we had planned.
Settled in for the night, I grabbed my cell and texted Becca just to say goodnight.
Hey Darling, just wanted to say good night and Love you. Have a great day. Hope to talk soon.
Love Ya,
~Gavin
Chapter 17
*Rebecca*
I woke up at Five A.M. with my alarm. Mia just muttered something, put her pillow over her head and tried to go back to sleep. I turned our alarm off and tossed my pillow at her.
“Mia, it’s time to get up! If you want a shower you might want to jump in now, so we both have time.” Mia just moaned and tried to roll over and go back to sleep.
“Get the fuck up! You wanted to come on this mission with me! Let’s go!”
Mia mumbled some more and sat up, with hate in her eye’s directed at me. I laughed and started grabbing my stuff. Since it would be a while until I have to go to the clubhouse, I grabbed a pair of normal jeans, black t-shirt and headed towards the second bathroom for my shower.
Before I closed the
door, I looked at Mia, who was almost asleep sitting up.
“Mia, I’m going to grab a quick shower, why don’t you get in the shower in the hallway bathroom, before anyone else is awake.”
Mia actually acknowledged me this time and shook her head at me in response. Just as I turned I saw her scooting to the end of the bed. I smiled and kept walking into the bathroom.
I wonder if I listen Pandora radio in the
shower, if I’ll wake anyone up.
I tried it anyway. I put my music station
on and hopped into the hot shower. Mega Death came on and I pushed my face into the water and thought of my recuperating period with Gavin. And how gentle he was when we made love in the shower. I can’t wait for him to not be so gentle with me next time. I could feel myself getting flustered thinking of Gavin’s sweaty, chiseled body writhing on top of me.
I quickly finished washing, turned the water off and stepped out of the shower. My phone vibrated as I hit pause on my cell phone radio. I had a text from Gavin. I smiled as I opened it.
Hey Darling, just wanted to say good night and Love you. Have a great day. Hope to talk soon.
Love Ya,
~Gavin
I quickly replied.
Hey Babe, I hope you have a great day. I’m just starting mine now. I’ll be unavailable for a while. I’m going into the lion’s den once again...lol I Love you and I can’t wait to get a long vacation after this one.
Love
ya,
Becca (still trying to get used to it)
lol
I smiled as I finished drying off, and got dressed. After I looked in the mirror, I was accosted by the annoyance of my long hair again. I quickly pulled it up into a tight high ponytail, and walked back into our room. My boots were next to my bed where I left them. I smiled when I saw Mia walking into the room with her hair wrapped up in a towel. She doesn’t look like a zombie anymore.
“Welcome to the world of the living. You aren’t a morning person are you?”
Mia laughed before she said, “Hell no! I need about a pot of coffee before I get my ass going in the morning.”
I
laughed while I finished lacing up my combat boots checked my shoulder holster, and pulled the clips from my pistols to make sure they were locked and loaded I said.
“Speaking of coffee, let’s go see if they have any down in the kitchen. A safe house without coffee is like a
biker without his bike.” She laughed and followed me into the kitchen.
Sylvia was in a chair in the foyer. She looked sleepily at us as we walked down the
stairs.
I looked at my watch as I stepped off the last stair.
“Go ahead and get some sleep Sylvia, we’re up now. We’ll take the final watches for the morning shifts.”
Sylvia gave us a small tired smile and walked slowly up the stairs. I looked at the schedule and crossed the last four names off the list and added both Mia’s and mine to the last slots.
I looked over to Mia as I said, “Why don’t you go make us some coffee, and I’ll check all of the entry points and camera’s?”
Mia nodded and walked away. I started going through the checklist of camera’s that had to be checked. I slowly looked at all of
them, and signed the log book with my signatures. Shortly after I sat down, Mia came out of the kitchen with two hot cups of coffee for us.
I smiled at her as I took it in my hands, felt the warmth and enjoyed the smell of the black life blood. I sat back in the chair and just looked at the monitors.
Mia broke the silence. “I was scared to come on this mission with you. I didn’t know if I could be put around people like that again without getting upset. But I’m happy I chose to come with you, because if I didn’t I would never have forgiven myself for being a coward. Thank you for believing in me Rebecca.”
I put my coffee down, leaned in and gave Mia a big hug. She pulled me tight against her and held me for a moment before we let go.
All of a sudden I noticed a black blur on the camera outside the back door. I stopped and focused on the one camera, making it larger. But the movement wasn’t obvious until I saw the trash can fall over. Our intruder was a large silver raccoon just looking for a morning snack.
I laughed and shook my head, un
-zoomed all of the cameras and continued our watch.
“Hey Rebecca, how many times have you been on a mission like this?”
I thought for a second and answered her. “Umm, I’ve been on 7 missions. The one in Savannah was my first Solo, undercover mission. But missions like this I’ve been on 7.”
Mia
took a few sips of her coffee before she said anything else.
“I haven’t been on any for about ten years now. I’ve only been on two missions in my career. I’ve been perfectly happy riding the pine desk through my career. I honestly thought I would end up retiring with the damned thing shoved up my ass, I’ve been at it so long.”
I laughed in response, then said. “Well if you do well on this one with me, there is no reason why you can’t become my partner, and go with me more often. If I had a partner on my last mission I probably wouldn’t have got as hurt as I did. So make sure you give it your all. I know I’m going into the club house alone this time, but make sure you keep your ear to the mic, so I don’t get killed– OK?”
Mia shook her head yes and said.
“I’d love to be your partner. I’ll keep an ear out just for you. Nothing is going to happen to you in the clubhouse. That’s bad for business. Get in, and get out.”
I finished my
watch and went upstairs to look at my weapon stash. Just as I was packing my back gun into my pants, I heard my cell. Gavin was calling.
I answered quickly.
“Hey Darling, what ya doin?”
I smiled and said.
“Not much, just double and triple checking my weapons. Getting my day started.”
He laughed and said
.
“I see, so where are you?”
Even though he couldn’t see me, I shook my head no before I said.
“Babe you know I can’t tell you. I wish I could. But just know I’m safe. Can you tell me where you are?”
There was silence on the other side of the phone before he finally said.
“I’m in New Orleans dealing with some club business. We were supposed to have
backup down here from our Atlanta chapter but, they couldn’t tear themselves away from a dispute they had going on.”
My breath caught in my throat for a second.
Clearing my throat I finally said.
“
Well I’m not far from where you are. Why are you in New Orleans?”
I was holding my breath hoping it had nothing to do with why I was here. I really hope he isn’t involved with the Roadsters. I heard him take a deep breath as if he was smoking, the
n he said.
“We’re here just looking into getting
a NOLA Chapter. We could use more chapters in the south. But I gotta go, we have to finish some stuff this morning before we get to go to bed. But I just wanted to check in on you. And tell you I loved ya Darling. So be careful out there.”
I smiled and quickly responded to him.
“I love you baby. Be careful. We’ll be together again soon. I’m taking a long vacation after this one is over. I’m sure we could both use it.”
I heard the phone click, an
d I put it away. Why is he here? I rushed downstairs and into the command room in the dining room and looked through the surveillance photos the reconnaissance team got before I got there. And I’ll be damned I saw his MC’s club cut!
“FUCK, FUCK, FUCKITY, FUCK!”
Mia rushed into the room, as I slammed the folder down.
It took everything I had not to punch a wall.
Why the fuck are they involved with them?!
Mia looked at the folder then put her hand on my shoulder to sit me down, to calm me.
Looked at the photo and immediately knew why I was pissed.
“You don’t know why they’re here.”
I shook my head
no and said.
“No, but I do know Gavin the other day asked me what I would do if I knew someone I loved was in danger
, and the person or people who wanted to hurt them was going to hurt a lot of people! I didn’t know what he was talking about, and I told him, I’d kill them ALL!”
Mia’s eyes got wide as she plopped down loudly in the chair next to me.
“Oh Shit, Rebecca! He’s put himself in the middle of this. You need to find a way to warn him.”
I shook my head no.
“I can’
t– you know that. You know all of our electronic devices are monitored. I’m just hoping with me being on the inside of the clubhouse that maybe I can get him clear of the investigation before he gets himself in trouble. I just don’t understand why he’s here, or why he has anything to do with this group. That’s what’s confusing me. When I started my investigation into them in Savannah, he had no ties to the Roadsters.”
Mia got up and walked into the Kitchen. She quickly came back with two cups of coffee for us. She sat it down in front of me and let me sit in peace and quiet for a second while I tried to figure out what I needed to do.
As I was finishing my last sip of coffee, the other agents started walking down the stairs. I glanced at my watch and silently cursed to myself
as I realized it was 9:30 a.m. It was time for everyone to be awake and the briefings to start.
Agent Davis came around the corner, smiled at us and said. “Good Morning Ladies. Did y’all take all of the morning guard shifts?”
I shook my head yes and responded. “Yes, we were awake to get everything prepared for today, and didn’t see a reason why someone else had to suffer when we’re already up.”
