The ride back to the club is quiet. Too damn
quiet if you ask me. Draven isn’t saying shit and neither are the
girls. Bell is sitting on the other side of the truck and won’t
even look at me. This whole night is a total fuck up. I have so
much shit running through my head right now that I don’t know if I
want anyone to talk. I just want to head back to the fucking club
and kick back for the night. We pull up and Bell jumps out of the
truck and walks off as Casey turns and gives me a nasty look. “What
the fuck did I do?” I ask looking back at her. “I don’t know but
you better damn fix it before I kick your ass.” Casey snaps at me
as she climbs out of the truck. “Fuck!” I snap as I get out. “You
in trouble man.” Draven laughs as he gets out. “This shit isn’t
funny. I just fucking got Bell to hang out with me man, now this
shit?” I say as I walk around the truck. Casey stomps in the club
and slams the door shut. “What the fuck did I do to her?” I say
looking over at Draven. “Fuck if I know but you know how those two
are man. Piss one off and they both on your ass.” Draven says
slapping me on the back. Why the hell did Jenna have to show up
now? Things were just going good with Bell and now she is pissed. I
follow Draven into the club and flop on a stool at the bar. “Rough
night kids?” Duke says smiling over at us. “Rough night my ass.
This motherfucker got caught the fuck up with some girl outside the
restaurant.” Draven says laughing and pointing at me. “What the
hell man? Don’t do that shit to Bell, Casey will fuck you up.” Duke
says laughing. “I'm glad you boys have my fucking back here.” I
snap as I grab my beer off the counter. I figure this night
couldn’t get any worse so I drink it the fuck up.
I head down the hall bouncing off the walls
drunk off my ass towards my room. My head is so fucked up right now
I can’t even see straight. I stop at Bell’s room and open the door
but she isn’t in there. I laugh to myself thinking maybe she is
waiting in my room. Fat fucking chance of that tonight I think to
myself as I open my door. Holy shit Bell is in my room. I walk in
and Bell is sitting on my bed watching me as I come in. “What are
you doing in my room?” I ask her with a smile on my face. “Who is
she?” Bell asks as I walk towards the bed pulling my vest off.
“Come here.” I say as I walk towards her. “I said who is she
Tracker?” Bell snaps again. “Damn it Bell I don’t want to fucking
talk! All I want is to fuck you good and go the fuck to sleep!” I
snap at her as she stands in front of me. “How about you fuck your
girlfriend?” She says as she tries to walk around me and I grab her
arm. “That’s what I'm trying to do!” I snap as I pull her back in
front of me. She looks up at me and I can see a tear in her eye.
“Don’t fucking cry Bell.” I say in a softer voice now. She doesn’t
say anything but I can see she is trying to hold back the tears. I
lean down and kiss her and I'm surprised when she doesn’t pull
away. I back her up to the bed and lay her down as I climb on top
of her running my hands up her thighs. “You didn’t wear anything
under this dress?” I say with a smile as she shakes her head. “For
me?” I ask her and her eyes flick to mine. “For you.” She says and
that’s the only invite I need. I shove her dress up and have my
pants off in record time. I slide in and enjoy every fucking minute
I have in her. When we are done I roll off her and pull her over to
me. “She’s an old girlfriend from years ago before I ever came
here.” I say softly as I run my hands down her back. “What does she
want?” Bell asks me. “I don’t know. Didn’t stick around to hear it.
I'm sorry Bell if I hurt you. I only want you now.” I say and I
mean it. I haven’t thought about Jenna for a long fucking time. I
hear Bell sigh and then her breathing evens out and I know she’s
asleep.
I haven’t heard anything from Jenna in over a
week and I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing but at
least she isn’t getting in the way with Bell. Me and the guys
decided this would be a good day for a cook out so that is what we
are going to do. The girls all went to the store with some of the
new guys and we are hanging out around the bar. “Heard anything new
Prez?” I ask as he comes down the stairs. “Nope I haven’t heard
shit. I don’t know if that is a good thing or not.” He says as he
walks around the bar and pulls up a stool. “What do you boys
think?” he says as he grabs a beer. “Fuck man I hope it means they
changed their minds.” Draven says as Prez nods his head. “I'm
guessing that isn’t the case though.” I add. “No I'm thinking that
too. We took out a few of their guys and I'm guessing they were
pretty far up the chain, and then we hit their spots around here
too. That can’t ever work out to their advantage.” He says as he
pulls a cigarette out and lights it. He offers Draven one and he
shakes his head. Bastard finally decided to quit again. He offers
me one and I take it. I light up and we sit around talking and
smoking until the girls get back. “Hey you got a letter.” Bell says
as she hands me the envelope. I look at the envelope in my hand and
wonder what the fuck it is. I don’t get mail. “Thanks babe.” I say
as I smack her on the ass as she walks towards the kitchen. I tare
the end of the envelope open and dump its contents on the bar.
There’s a picture of a little boy. He can’t be too old. “Who’s
that?” Garrick asks as he sits down next to me. “Fuck if I know.
This shit came in the mail with my name on it.” I say as I flip the
photo over and look for a name. “Cute kid.” Garrick says as I nod.
I don’t know what the hell this is supposed to be but I stuff the
picture back in the envelope and stick it in my jacket pocket as I
stand to head out back.
“
Put some more lighter fluid on there.”
I slap Prez on the back as he lights up the grill. “Who the hell
you telling how to light a fucking grill? I been doing this shit
since your mama’s tit was in your mouth.” He says back laughing.
“Well then you should have it mastered by now.” I say as I grab a
beer and walk over to where the guys are. “What are you girls doing
over here?” I ask as I walk up. “Hey man you know someone keeps
calling here for you right?” Garrick says with an annoyed look on
his face. “Who is it?” I ask and he shrugs. “Well how the fuck you
want me to handle it if you don’t know who it is?” I say as the
guys laugh. “It is really annoying I can tell you that much.”
Garrick says. “So is you sucking my dick but I let you do it.” I
say laughing and slapping him on the back. We hang out and have a
good time while we eat. Once the sun starts to go down we start up
a big ass bon fire. This is how we roll around here. Bell walks
over and sits down next to me. “What was the letter all about?” She
asks as she grabs my beer and takes a drink. “I don’t know it was a
picture of some kid.” I say watching her. “A kid? Who’s kid?” She
says as she looks at the fire. “Don’t know. Bell if you keep
licking on the bottle like that we are going in right the fuck
now.” I say as I grab the bottle from her and she laughs. “Keep
laughing and I will fuck you so hard you won’t walk till next
week.” I say as she stands up. “Is that a promise?” She says
laughing as she walks over to Casey. Damn that girl. I look around
at all my friends and realize just how lucky I am. They are my
family. I look over at Bell who is all smiles and dancing with
Casey. “You got a good one there.” Prez says as he slaps my
shoulder and sits next to me. “That’s for damn sure.” I say and he
nods. “Can I ask you something?” I say to Prez and he nods. “You
think this shit will ever be over? I mean with the shit from
Spike?” I ask. Prez takes a long deep breath and blows it out.
“Tracker, you’re young. You will learn in time but the truth of the
matter is this shit never ends. It doesn’t matter if it’s Spike’s
guys or some other group. There is always someone that wants what
you have and are willing to do anything for it. That right there
man goes for more than this.” Prez says as he points around to
everyone. “That goes for your life too.” He says stopping on Bell.
“What are you trying to say?” I ask him as he takes a drink. “I'm
trying to say Tracker that I heard about your little girl issues.
That shit is none of my business but I can promise you that if you
choose the other way, there will be someone to take your place with
Bell. I’ve known Bell since she was a baby and I'm damn sure that
there is a few guys sitting around here right now that are pissed
that they missed their chance with her when you strode in here.”
Prez says as he stands and walks off. I turn to watch
Bell.
“
What are you thinking about?” Bell
says as she climbs in my lap. I pull her close to me. “I'm thinking
about how lucky I am to have you and all of them. I never had much
of a family before I came here and now that’s all I have.” I say as
I kiss her neck. “I'm glad I have you too.” She whispers in my ear
and damn if that didn’t do it for me. “I think I was still laughing
earlier.” She says and I know what she wants. “Is that so?” I ask
her as I rub my hand down her back. “I do believe I was.” She says
smiling. “Well then I think we need to head inside so I can make
good on that promise.” I say as I lift her and set her on her feet.
I stand and start to walk over towards the door. “HEY!” I hear her
voice behind me. I turn around at the same time as Bell and see
Jenna standing there. “What the fuck are you doing here?” I say as
I watch her walk towards us. “I have been calling but apparently
you don’t take any calls.” Jenna snaps as she walks towards us.
“Well there might be a fucking reason for that. How the fuck did
you get in here anyway?” I ask as I grab Bell’s hand. “I asked
around and people told me I could find you here. The gate was open
so I came up.” She says with a smile like she is pleased with
herself. “Well I guess you can use that gate and go back out then.”
I say as I turn around to walk into the club. “I said I need to
talk to you!” She snaps as I spin around and slam into Garrick. “Go
inside Tracker. I will get rid of her.” He says as I nod and pull
Bell along with me. I can hear Jenna out there yelling about it’s
important and she needs to talk to me but I hear Garrick yelling
louder about how she better get her ass off club property before
shit gets ugly. I hold the door open and let Bell go in first
before I follow her. “What the hell does she want Tracker?” Bell
spins around to face me. “In case you didn’t notice Bell I didn’t
fucking speak to her.” I say as I walk around her and she grabs my
arm. I look down at her hand on my arm and back to her face. “You
still seeing her?” She says looking me dead in the eye. “Do you
fucking think I am?” I snap at her as I shake her hand off me. I
stalk past her and I hear Bell start mouthing a bunch of shit. I
stop dead and turn back to her. “Damn it Bell, You want to say
something walk the fuck over here and say it!” I snap at her. She
looks up at me and walks over towards me and stops. She leans up
and grabs me around the neck and kisses me. That’s more like
it.
The next morning everyone is hanging out and
hung over but who the hell cares. We had a good time until Jenna
showed up but after that me and Bell had a good time in my room.
Bell is still asleep so I walk out into the front room and find
Garrick at the bar. I pull up a stool and sit next to him. “That
girl is out of her mind you know that?” Garrick says as he looks
around for Bell I'm guessing. “Tell me about.” I say grabbing a
water. “What’s the deal with her man?” Garrick asks looking over at
me. “We dated years ago. She up and left one day never fucking
heard from her till the other day when we went out. Now she won’t
stay the fuck away.” I say as I take a drink. “Maybe you should see
what she wants.” He says as I shake my head. “Don’t care what she
wants. I just want her to take a step back is all.” I say and sit
my bottle back down. Garrick hands me a piece of paper with a
number wrote on it. “What’s this?” I ask holding up the paper.
“That is the only way she would fucking leave last night is if I
told her I’d give you her number. She said it’s important.” He says
as he stands and walks off. I sit there for a few minutes looking
at the paper. I don’t know what she could possibly want after all
these years. I'm not sure I even care at this point. She left me,
why should I give a shit what she wants. We have no one in common
that we know. “What’s that?” Draven says as he sits next to me.
“Jenna’s number. She wouldn’t leave till Garrick said he would give
it to me.” I say still starring at it. “You calling her?” He asks.
“No man. I don’t give a fuck what she wants that’s old news you
know?” I say and Draven nods his head. Right about that time Prez
calls us to a meeting.
“
So Spike’s crew we know now as Hell
Raiser’s has said they would like a meet and greet type shit with
me and my head guys.” Prez says as we all take a seat at the table.
“He wants us in South Texas in 2 days. I want a team out there
ahead of time to check this shit out. I need a crew to step back
and keep lock down around here too since we don’t know these
fuckers. Draven if there is any way you can get with your contacts
and see what the hell you can find out about this group I’d
appreciate it. I really hate to bring Casey in on this shit but she
has an inside idea on what the fuck they are so Tracker, Garrick,
Draven and Sly I want you to sit in on that.” Prez says and we all
nod. “Ok then, I want Tracker, Garrick, Sly, Jimmy and Chance on
the team to head out tonight and check out the area we will be
going to. You guys go ahead and get shit ready but wait on Tracker.
Garrick go down and get your sister would you.” Prez says and the
guys all stand and walk out. “I don’t like this Prez.” Draven says
shaking his head. “You think I do? I don’t want her in this anymore
than the next guy but she has insight Draven. We need that insight
to keep her safe.” Prez says as Draven huffs. Garrick and Casey
walk in and Draven shoots straight towards her. He grabs her and
pulls her into his lap. “Hey baby girl we need to talk to you a
little.” Prez says while Casey looks around at all of us. “What
about?” She says looking back to her dad. “We need to know what
Hell Raiser’s deal is. We have a meet and Greet with them in 2 days
but I need the run down on them.” Prez says as Casey nods. “Draven
isn’t…” Casey starts to say when Prez cuts her off. “Draven isn’t
riding on this one baby girl don’t worry.” Prez says and Draven
starts to speak up. “Shut the fuck up Draven you are barely fucking
healed up.” Prez says and turns his attention back to Casey. “They
run drugs you know that. They work with some guys out of Columbia.
That’s where the main part of the drugs come from. They trade out
girls for drugs sometimes. I don’t know where the girls come from
or how they get them. I do know that whatever shit Spike was into
isn’t through Hell Raiser’s. They didn’t want to get involved with
whoever Spike was messing with. I heard them one night saying that
they believed Spike was going out on his own but they didn’t have
proof of that yet. They were watching him for a while but never got
into anything he did. They don’t bring their shit around this way
that’s why the night…… the night that all of that went down I knew
it was a set up.” Casey says as she looks down and Draven pulls her
closer. “Thanks baby girl.” Prez says as he nods towards us to
go.
