Chapter 4

Chains:

I got up before the sun today because we had a shipment to get out. I was on this run because the last two rides they have had issues. I made judy breakfast and left a note before I left the house. I don't understand it but I feel comfortable leaving her in my home without me there. I need to focus on this run now because if The Vipers come out again we can't be caught off guard. I got to the club around eight and waited for the rest of the guys to get on their bikes. We are hoping doing an early morning run instead a night run will make a difference. Once we are all ready to go we start the ride. Now this shouldn't take more than a few hours fingers crossed. We get to the drop off and do the exchange we mount our bikes and start to head back home. 

We are about halfway home when we hear the roar of bikes coming from all directions. Maestro and I lock eyes we know who this is and we are ready this time. I grab my gun from under my jacket and so does everyone else. If they try to take us out more than one of them is leaving with an extra hole in their body. Before we know what is happening we are surrounded. I look over just as Dice hits the ground his bike sliding on the road. I hear another crash and see Track is down too. This is not fucking ending this way. Maestro and I hit the brakes at the same time we turn and start shooting. Four of them hit the ground and it sends the rest of the running away like the little bitches they are. 

We circle back to check on Dice and Track both are okay but I can't say the same for their bikes. Dice looks like he is going to murder someone and Track doesn't look much better. Knowing better than to speak to them I call and ask one of the guys to bring a large trailer so we can get their bikes back to the shop. When we all finally get back Maestro calls church and that went as well as you can imagine. Everybody myself included wants blood but Maestro put his foot down. He said they have someone backing them and until we know entirely what we are dealing with we won't go to war with them. All that would happen is most of the club dies and they end up with our town anyway. After church I got on my bike and headed home. I needed to think of something else this entire day has been shit. 

I pulled onto my street and I had to do a double take. One of the Vipers was on my porch arguing with Judy. When they heard my bike he jumped on his to leave. Too bad the dumbass came in my direction and that's when I see the President patch on his cut. You have got to be fucking kidding me. Not only is she talking to them but it's the one in charge of it all. I need some answers and I'm getting them right the fuck now. I pull into my driveway and I don't even glance at Judy. I walk passed her and wait in the kitchen for her ass to come give me some answers. It takes a few minutes but eventually she comes and sits across from me at the table.

" Explain" That is all I need to say because she knows what I'm talking about. She gets this far off look on her face as she starts to talk.

" First off let me say I thought he was still in Mexico being the cartels bitch boy. Secondly that asshole who just left here is my sperm donor. I didn't even know who he was until three years ago when he just showed up. He tried to sell my virginity the moment we meant because he said I was his daughter and acted as if I owed him something. He started following me and showing up everywhere I went so I packed what I could and left. I never used my cell phone or any card he could track me with. And today he just showed up here saying it was time for me to come home. I told him to fuck off and before he could really get mad and drag me along you came home and he hauled ass out of here." She finally took a breath and looked at me. And what I seen gutted me she was terrified and crying her eyes out in silence. 

" Baby come here" She shook her head and won't move so I got up and walked over picked her up and sat her on my lap where she just layed her head on my shoulder and cried some more. 

" I'm so sorry Justin I had no idea my dad was here or that he was the one causing all this trouble" She sniffled at the end and just looked up at me

" Sweetheart I know you didn't. Hell you didn't even know any of the bikers in the diner and they are from his club. Now look we have to go to Maestro and you aren't leaving my side until this is all handled"  She just nodded her head and didn't say a word. I picked her up we got our shoes and coats on before getting on my bike and heading back to the bar.

We got to to the bar and I noticed everyone was still here which was good. I walked in and told Maestro we needed to have church now. He looked at me and must have noticed how serious I was because he just nodded. He walked to the center of the bar and yelled church now and that was all that needed to be said. Everyone got up and headed to the back. I walked in with Judy and everyone looked confused.

" Go on baby tell them what you told me. It's okay nobody is going to be mad at you. I promise" She looked skeptical but did as I asked. 

" Okay so long story short the asshole who is the president of the Vipers is my father. I didn't know him until three years ago. When he tried to sell me and then stalked me I left without a word and ended up here. I had no idea he was here because last I knew he was working for the cartel and then he showed up at Chains house today and said it was time for me to come home. Thankfully Chains got home before he could take me anywhere" Everyone looked as shocked as I felt. I gave Judy a kiss on her forehead and told her to wait at the bar for me.

As soon as she left all hell broke loose. Everyone had questions and everyone was worried for her safety. Before Maestro could declare war to protect her he asked me one question. In front of everyone he asked if I was claiming her and without hesitation I said yes and that settled everything. My brothers would protect her no matter what because she was mine. We now know that one reason they were coming was to get Judy the rest we had no idea. All I can say is I will protect her with my life and her daddy better stay as far away from me as possible. Not only did this bastard try to sell her but he let his guys bully her and cause my baby harm and neither of those things are ok with me. 

After the meeting Maestro told me I had one month to get my head out of my ass and get her a cut. If not her protection will be null and void because we can't go to war for everyone we know. Now that all that business is over with I need a drink and to have a little chat with Judy. I can tell there are things she won't tell me and I intend to find out everything. I walk over and ask Abby for a whiskey she gives it to me and tells me to be nice to Judy. I walk over to the table the Judy is sitting at and take a seat across from her.

" Okay sweetheart I know there somethings you left out but I need to know everything" Instead of looking at me she looks at her lap and squeezes her hands together a habit I notice she has when she is nervous.

" Okay well there is one minor detail I left out. The person who I was suppose to be sold too came here and he disappeared. He was looking for me but they said his friend needed help and they are both missing now." Fuck me that could only be one of two men and neither option is a good one.

" Baby what was his name" She takes in a deep breath and finally looks up at me. When she utters the name I hoped she wouldn't I know I have to claim her sooner rather than later.

" His name was Dimitri. He was part of the bratva" Now I have to have another conversation with Maestro this couldn't get any worse I swear. 

" Baby stay here I have to go talk to Maestro then we can head home" She just smiles and nods. I walked back to his office and walked in without knocking.

" What in the hell are" I cut him off I had too

" The guy who her father sold her too was Dimitri" The look of shock on his face is almost comical.

" Fuck this just got more complicated than I thought it could be" Yup that is just what I was thinking.
