She sobs for a moment Each one of us with children feels her pain at not having her child with her, yet, we can't at the same time
“I asked her to stay with o back to him, but she said she couldn't stay Mo Teddy back to me I didn't knohat else to do I'm so scared, Elliot, please, help me”
“It's okay, sweetheart, nothing is going to happen to you I'll keep you safe, and I'll bring our boy home, I promise”
They already have a kid together? Oh, shit, little Teddy How did I not realize that sooner? The na The little boy he brings to the clubhouse now and again
How did none of us realize before now? Kong was always shifty when asked about Teddy's ive much information about her
“What do we do about this, Shepard?”
“What we're supposed to do, BlackJack Kong, take your girl back to the clubhouse, and Taylor will check her over We'll meet you there Settle Alison into your rooh”
“Prez Come with me, baby”
How the fuck did Kong get hiirl?
Shepard has repeatedly warned us many times, even beat it into us at our initiation that you don't fuck with another clubs girl Especially not the dahter Click is a well-known bastard, who runs his parch, an hour out of Bardsville, with an iron fist The residents of Claxton live in fear of that s They take what they hen they want They push drugs, guns, women They're a vile bunch of motherfuckers with no morals
So why haven't the Snakes stopped them?
Their business isn't ours We can't prove they run the sex auctions we've heard about We've tried a couple of ti Vidal in to shut the bastards down, but we've found none Plus, no one will talk to us about it, so there's nofor trouble when trouble doesn't want to be found
We can't stop the Coyotes pushing drugs They're not co the to do with us
This is going to end in a war between our clubs Every ht, but those coyote fuckers are brutal Sure, we've got soht evil bastards in our club Hammer and Roman the most sadistic of all Usually, I'd be all for a ith scum, but I have Brooke and Gabe to think about now It's not like any one of us couldn't be killed if anything rong
If anything happened to me, ould take care of my family?
Sure, they have the whole of them MC to look out for therief for a while, and my brother God, knohat he'll do Brooke will be alone in her own little world
Don't think about this nok Listen to what Kong has to say Once you have, Prez will figure out what to do next He won't throw you into the fires of hell without your brothers there to back you and each other up
Half an hour later, and everyone is around the oak table ready for church, looking to Kong for an explanation If we're to go to war for hiirl, then we need to knohy
“First off, I just want to thank you all for what you did today What you illing to do if it came to it”
Each man tips his head He doesn't need to thank us; we'd have done it for any one of us in this room We're always there for each other, no matter what, no questions asked
“Why don't you explain how you ended up with Click's daughter”
Kong signs, but nods at Shepard before looking at everyone around the table He takes a deep, sighing breath “I ether We were best friends from the off Click didn't like me, and he made no secret of it Hefriends, while ere young, at least
“At one point, my dad tried to keep me away from Alison Click took offense, and my dad ended up in the hospital for a week” Jesus! “My dad was a quiet man, he worked hard in his hardware store, and he tried to keep himself to himself He suffered from PTSD due to an accident when he was in his twenties, and he wasn't the kind of h to stand up to men like Click He wanted to move Mom and me out of Claxton and away from those assholes Click made my dad's life a misery He told him that wherever he went, the Coyotes would follow and hter, but he didn't want my dad to be the one to make that decision, so he allowed Alison and I to be friends”
