Kim sent Ice a text. "Dunno where you are, but I hope you're safe. I really need you right now." She got no response from Ice. The next day she took her dad to make burial arrangements for her funeral. Afterwards, Kim sat in her window seat in her old bedroom. Still no response from Ice. She decided to send him another text. "Nanna passed away. Wish you were here with me. Stay safe." Two more days passed with no response from Ice. The funeral was finally here. Her dad's boss's son walked with her and sat with her at the funeral. They were grooming him to take over the business. He's shown interest in her in the past, but Kim always turned him down. He's a nice guy, but she had no feelings towards him at all.ICE'S POINT OF VIEW He got Kim's messages, but couldn't reply. The job the government had him do this time was hard for him to complete. In the past he just acted like a machine. This time it was difficult because he kept thinking what would Kim think about him if she kne
The girls meet at Sam's house. "Please don't go. I'm sure a job will open up soon." Raine begged. "And you don't need to pay any rent until you have a steady job." Sam explained. "Besides my income more than pays all the bills." "Thanks, but I need to move on. Too many painful memories here." Kim replied. "My mind is made up." "This is all because of the shit Ice pulled, isn't it?" Raine asked. "Partly. Look, I'm packed and tomorrow I'm picking up my last check and then driving home. When I get there, I'll make sure I let y'all know I arrived safely." Kim replied. "But this is your home." Sam argued. "Not anymore." Kim replied. Raine returned to the clubhouse very upset. Jax and Ice were sitting at the bar. She went over to them. "You! This is all your fault and I hope you're proud of yourself now! Asshole!" Raine yelled. "What now?" Ice asked. "Kim's leaving and moving back home! I'm losing one of my best friends who I consider a sister! "I know you care about her
The ladies make Kim feel right at home. The food was good to. They laughed and told her stories about the MC and how Raven and Tank got together. Kim didn’t mention her MC as she still didn’t know if they were rivals. Besides, she's leaving that life. "Ok, so I know the cut and highlights you need to do tonight, but I was wondering if you would stay and fix my hair for the wedding tomorrow?" Raven asked."Sure, why not. I have nothing waiting for me at home." Kim replied. Raven hugged her. "You don't know how much this means to me! You ever need anything, I owe you. It's called a marker. And you can call it in for anything, anytime." Raven explained. BACK AT VET MC Raine went to Jax's office. "Jax?" Raine asked. "Yes baby?" Jax asked. "Something is wrong. Kim never got to her parents’ house. She left over 5 hours ago to pick up her last check and hasn't been heard from or seen since." Raine explained. "Is she not answering her cell?" Jax asked. "No. Jax I'm worried. This is n
BACK AT JOKERS MC Kim finished Raven's hair and she was ecstatic over it. "You are a genius! So, I hate to ask, but the girls are begging me to ask if you would style their hair for the wedding tomorrow?" Raven asked. “Sure, why not." Kim smiled. "And would you please stay for the wedding?" Raven begged. "Yeah, I can do that. I have nothing else to do. Nothing waiting for me." Kim agreed. "Ah come on. A gorgeous woman like you has no man?" Raven asked. "Recent break up." Kim explained. "Girlfriend tell me all about it." Raven replied. Kim told her what happened, leaving out the MC part. "I know what's wrong, you need a real man, a biker!" Raven smiled. "Umm, have you heard of the Veterans MC?" Kim asked. "Of course. Their Prez is Bear's son Jax." Raven replied. "Are y'all rivals?" Kim asked. "God no. We're allies as far as I know. Our clubs have coexisted peacefully since Blackjack took over almost 40 years ago. Now his son took over and is following in his footsteps. He
"Ok. It was a misunderstanding, no harm no foul. We can let this go. I'll move all my men out." Jax replied. "Appreciate it brother. Just know I owe you one." BJ Jr. replied. "Ok. Let's go." Jax ordered. "I'm not going." Kim stated. "Oh yes you are." Ice replied. "No, I am not! I promised Raven and her bridesmaids I would do their hair tomorrow for her wedding." Kim replied. "It's ok Kim." Raven replied. "No, it's not. I made a promise to do your hair and your bridesmaids, and I intend on keeping it." Kim replied. "You aren't staying here." Ice replied. "Yes I am. We’re over remember? You have no say so over me! Then tomorrow I'm going home to my parents’ house." Kim explained. "We will talk about that later. But I am not leaving here without you." Ice warned. "Ice, if it's ok with Kim you are welcome to stay with her. I have promised her no harm would come to her as she's under my protection." BJ Jr replied. "Are you leaving with me now?" Ice asked. "Nope." Kim replied.
Ice had the prospects carry her stuff to his room. "If you want a waitress job at the bar until you find another salon, I could set you up." Raine replied. "It's looking like I'm going to have to find a new profession." Kim replief. "Is there really nowhere you could work? I know how much you love it. And you are amazing at it! The best in the area in my opinion." Raine replied. "Yeah, it's all I've ever wanted to do. But I love Ice more, and I love being near my best friends." Kim replied. "How hard would it be to have your own salon?" Raine asked. "I'd love to but afraid that's not happening. It takes a lot of money that I don't have. And I'm not asking my parents." Kim replied. "There are business loans." Sam replied. "What about Ice?" Raine asked. "What about Ice?" Ice asked. The girls jumped as they were so engrossed in their conversation, they hadn't heard him come up behind them. "I was asking Kim about her opening her own Salon." Raine explained. "That's a great id
"This was your first club anyway." Vixen replied. "I'm too old to prospect." Crash begun. "You wouldn't have to. They are the same charter, you'd just transfer." Vixen explained. "Why can't you move in with me?" Crash asked. "I've been running for a while. I miss my son. My first grandchild is about to be born. I don't want to miss a minute of it. I want to be here for them and his or her childhood." Vixen explained. "Anthony, don't make me choose between my son and grandson, or you. You know who I'd have to choose." Vixen pleaded. "Impossible situations. Story of my life." Crash sighed. JAX AND RAINE "I feel like a beached whale!! Raine complained. "You look gorgeous! That's our baby in there. Now are you ready for my big surprise?" Jax asked. "You know I am." Raine replied. They got in Jax's truck. "Why are we taking your truck? My Buick is much nicer and easier for me to get in." Raine muttered. "I'm just taking advantage of the last few days we have and can be in my t
They opened the doors and there was a line of people who crowded in. Half of it was the MC, but the other half are Kim's long time customers. After about thirty minutes Ginger came over to Kim. "Ok so I already got the first two weeks booked. I know you said only walk ins today, but some are begging to make an appointment to make sure you get them in today." Ginger replied. "Just tell them to sign in, and I will get to them. But 7pm is my cut off. No names added after that. As that time frame will put me in here till probably midnight." Kim explained. "Ok boss." Ginger replied. "Please. Just Kim." Kim pleaded. "You can call me boss." Ice grinned. Kim smacked him in the chest shaking her head no. "Hey, don't get funny with my Old lady!" I.T. warned. "Ok enough! I gotta get back to hair. Now all of you scoot and make yourself useful. Help Ginger with customers and help make them comfortable while they wait. We're gonna be here awhile!" Kim commanded. "I'll get the drinks." Rain
"Well I'm not exactly who you think I am." Pamela started. "I know who you are." Ace interjected. Pamela continued. "I've been hanging out with the Vet MC for research." "Because you're an author." Ace interrupted. "I had a new book idea, wait what? You know?" Pamela asked puzzled. "Jax told my dad the whole story. Besides, we had you investigated anyway. While we don't do illegal things, we still are very selective of who we allow around our club." Ace explained. "So you've known this whole time who I really was?" Pamela asked. "Of course." Ace replied. "And you still want me here? The club is ok with what I do?" She asked. "Yes, and yes. As long as you know you can never write about the real club life here or mention any of our members by name in any book." Ace warned. "I would never." Pamela reassured him. "Good. Now that is settled, I'm still waiting for an answer." Ace remarked. "I'd still have to go to the Vet MC to talk with the ladies. Raine, Kim, and Sam are telli
"Lexi here is my girlfriend." TJ replied."Yeah, and don't forget it skank!" Lexi warned."Honey please! TJ doesn't know the meaning of faithful. I just have to get him all horny and worked up and he'll be mine for the fucking." She laughed.Pamela knew Lexi was gonna lose it, so she stepped back. Lexi grabbed the skank by the back of her head and slammed her face into the bar. Blood splattered from her nose and mouth. The skank was crying and sputtering."You busted my nose!" She whined."You better get out of my sight before I cut a bitch!' Lexi warned.She opened her switch blade with a little fancy move that made it hiss. The skanks eyes widened before she ran off screaming."Keep that psycho away from me!" She wailed."If you can't run with the big dogs, stay home." Lexi laughed.Pamela and Ace joined in on the laughter. Lexi walked over to TJ and grabbed his nuts very firmly and not in a feel-good way. In a warning you're gonna lose them way."Your turn. You decide here and now.
Trish turned and ran out the door. A couple guys were waiting on her and grabbed her. Pamela walked out and BJ Jr. was standing there."What's going to happen to her?" She asked."A copy of the recording we just made will be given to the police department. My guys will deliver her and the recording. I'm sure she'll be charged with attempted murder over the accident." He explained."So, you're not going to take her outback and shoot her?" Pamela asked.BJ Jr. laughed hard. "Son, you got one with a vivid imagination here. Good luck with that!""I look forward to it." Ace smirked.It's been a week since Trish was arrested. Things have been quiet. Hanna had decided to talk to Maverick about marriage."So, you remember when I was upset after your sister's wedding?" Hanna asked."Yes." Maverick replied."The reason why, was because I was jealous of her." Hanna explained."Baby, what do you have to be jealous of?" Maverick asked."She got the whole package. The guy, marriage, and a baby on t
"Yeah you have two large windows in your bedroom." Maverick replied."You sleep nude or something?" TJ laughed."You wish Romeo! But no, it's just creepy that someone will be watching me while I sleep." Pamela retorted."I could come in and help you get to sleep." TJ suggested."That's a big no! I can manage just fine on my own lover boy." Pamela declined. Pamela went inside and locked the door. Trish's car was spotted driving by. It was her first mistake she made. A week had passed with nothing happening. Pamela and TJ were still keeping up the pretense of dating. Friday night they had a party at the Vet MC clubhouse. Jokers were invited. After a while, Pamela went to the bathroom to get away from TJ. He'd kept hanging all over her taking advantage of the situation and it was getting on her last nerve. She was starting to get pissed off so she took a break before she blew their cover. As she rounded the corner to the bathroom, someone came up behind her. They put one hand over her
"It's a good plan. I've just not been able to catch her at anything." BJ Jr replied."But dangerous for Pamela. We all know how crazy these bitches can be." Ice grumbled."I'm willing to risk it. Hanna has become a great friend. Before I came here, I really didn't have any friends. So, if I can do something to help her and protect her then I'm all in for it. That's what you do for friends and family." Pamela replied."Woman you're not family. You're just allowed to hang around like the club whores." Hawk retorted. "I don't think I pulled your dog chain nor did I ask for your two cents old man!" Pamela glared at him."That's enough Hawk. You want Lexi to go in and do this?" Jax demanded. Hawk looked down at the floor. "Didn't think so. So shut the fuck up.""Well, I'm game. I'll take one for the team." TJ laughed."Oh please! Like that's a hard job. Having a gorgeous girl pretend she's into you." Snake huffed."Heck pretending will be easy on my end of course, but hey hers too." TJ sm
"What happened? Could she have a friend?" Pamela asked."It's a long story that's best left in the past. I don't think she had anyone." Hanna replied."Oh." Pamela responded."So, who?" Jasmine asked."Sorry I'm drawing a blank. I can't remember having words with any women." Hanna replied."No one who's been hateful to you? Any guys you may have messed with that had jealous girlfriends? Or any girls in Maverick's past?" Pamela questioned."I can’t... umm wait there was one thing but it was minor. And I did not go after her boyfriend. But Maverick said something to him for flirting with me." Hanna replied. "Yeah, that girl was a raging skanky bitch!" Jasmine responded."Yeah, but it was for maybe 2 minutes and only happened once." Hanna responded."Any other women said anything to you?" Pamela asked."No." Hanna denied."I think we should tell my dad." Jasmine said."Let me get Mav." Hanna sighed. Pamela, Hanna, Jasmine, Maverick, and Maddox go to Jax's office. "Dad we have a theory
While she's sitting there, Hanna came up and sat beside her. "Hi, I'm Hanna.""I'm Pamela." She replied."You're new. Just passing through or visiting?" Hanna asked."Not sure yet." Pamela replied."Would you like to join me and my friends?" Hanna asked."Sure." Pamela responded. They went over to the table where Jasmine, Jessi, and Lexi were sitting."This is Pamela." Hanna announced. That's Jessi my cousin, Jasmine, and Lexi. Jazz and Lex are like family. Our moms have been best friends forever and we all grew up together.""Nice to meet y'all." Pamela replied. Brady walked over to their table. "Sis, ladies, who's your friend?""Her name is Pamela and you need to back off!" Hanna retorted."What? I just came over to be friendly." Brady laughed."Sure you did, Mr. Player himself." Hanna huffed."Ladies. Hey baby." Maddox replied as he bent down to kiss Jasmine."Pamela this is Jazz's boyfriend Maddox." Hanna explained.Maverick walked up behind Hanna. "Hey baby who's your friend?"
He stepped aside to let her in the office. He closed the door and sat back behind his desk. Raine sat down on his lap. "Sit. What's your name?" He asked."Pamela." She replied as she sat down."Pamela?" Raine asked."Just Pamela." She replied.Raine looked like she was thinking pretty hard. But doesn't say anything."Ok you've got my attention. Talk." Jax demanded."Before I tell you I need to know that it won't go any further than this room." Pamela explained."Sweetheart I can't promise shit till I know what you have to say." Jax replied."Ok." She sighed. "I guess I'll have to take my chances that you'll understand. I want a waitress job here for some research work I'm doing. And before you get all defensive it's not what you think.""I'm listening." Jax replied. "I'm not with the cops or government. I just recently graduated with my English lit degree to further my career of being an author. Or trying to. I've published several stories but got writer’s block. Then I decided to t
"If it's TJ behind this, all bets are off!" Maverick responded."There's things going on you don't know. I'll explain when I get there. You're just going to have to trust me that I'm doing everything in my power to take care of this. I can't have you going off halfcocked not knowing what's going on." Jax warned."No promises." Maverick replied."Find Hanna then we'll talk." Jax ordered. "Son that's an order.""Fine!" Maverick agreed. They finally found Hanna's car and she was taken to the hospital. Maverick lost his shit, but luckily Jax got to him before any damage was done."Son calm down!" Jax ordered. "If you don’t, I'll have the brothers take you to the clubhouse.""If I find out that fucker had anything to do with this, I'll end him!" Maverick warned.Hanna finally woke up but before the doctors let her family in, they had to run tests. Finally, they were done and let her mom, dads, and Maverick see her."Hey honey, how are you feeling?" Sam asked."Baby I was worried sick!" Ma
