Devil’s Saints: Taz Chapter 262: Goodbyes
We don’t say goodbye. We say see you later. – Michael RayRYE’S MEMORIESIt was Rye’s thirteenth birthday. For September, it was mild. Not that Rye noticed. There was only one thing on her mind. One wish for this day. Her dad.They lived just off the base in Jacksonville. Her mom, Donna Leigh, hated living on base especially when they were in the United States. Both Rye and her older sister attended local public schools. Leigh Anne turned sixteen in July and was the popular party girl. Donna Leigh always said that Leigh Anne was her daughter while Ryanne was completely her father’s child. She even had his gray patch in her mother’s black hair. Whenever she said it, it always seemed like an insult. Especially if Mike was not around. After his death. there was no doubt that is was an insult.Rye was a nerdy good girl. She was an honor student at a magnet high school. She had even skipped the eighth grade going from seventh grade straight to high school. Currently she sat in chemistry
Devil’s Saints: Taz Chapter 263: Moving
We’ll just be here for a little while. Don’t get too comfortable. - Donna LeighRye stood on the front porch of the small white clapboard post-war bungalow. With a bright smile, Karan handed her the house key. Cookie stood behind her, beaming with pride. Rye smiled at them, acting as though nothing had happened earlier. The whole club now knew that her mother was a whore, and she probably was too. There was nothing Rye could do. Tears would do no good. They would not change anything. Rye unlocked the door and walked into the small house. There was a small foyer with twelve-inch tiles of assorted colors and a small gray rug covering the floor. On the right were several hooks with a black bench underneath. On the left was a slim black metal table about four feet high with a pine wood top about six feet long. A gilded mirror hung above on a cream-colored wall. Walking through the arched doorway to the living room, Rye found more of the assorted tiles and cream-colored walls. A large st
Devil’s Saints: Taz Chapter 264: Consequences
I don’t want to be that guy anymore, mom. I want to take a different type of chance this time. – ChanceChance left the clubhouse with no idea of where to go. He cruised the streets of East Vale without any thought. Then he found himself in Ridgeview pulling into the Memorial Hospital parking lot.He had never come on his own. Had never thought about it. But as he parked his bike, he hoped that they would let him in. Carrying his helmet, he went straight to the elevator and then the nursery. Not remembering the weekend nurses’ names, he simply waved as he went by. The nurse at the desk smiled back as she picked up the phone. The door to the back nursery clicked as he approached, and Chance went through. Inside he stowed his helmet, hung up his cut and t-shirt, and washed his hands. Then he went inside and snuggled the little guy against his chest. Nurses came in and checked on their patient. Staff came in and emptied the trash and restock supplies. An aid brought him a bottle. And
Devil’s Saints: Taz Chapter 265: Call
I’m sure he really did mean that you could call him for anything. – CookieChance was playing go fish with four of his cousin’s daughters. Molly and he had a long talk after he had left Alana’s house. Molly gave the advice he always gave. Women will tell you what they want, you just must listen. If they have a problem, they want you to fix, they will tell you; otherwise, shut up and listen. Tell her she’s special, more importantly, why you think she’s special. A long-lasting relationship will have times when you fall out of love each other. The key is not to do it at the same time. Words are just that. Show her how you feel. Now Chance sat at a poker table playing go fish for Hershey bars. He knew better than to challenge any of the girls to pool. Or poker. He was down to two bite size snickers.Molly’s little pretties were ruthless. Chance's phone rang and he was surprised to see that it was Rye. “Hey.”“Chance?” he could hear the tears in her voice. “Priss, come play for me.
Devil’s Saints: Taz Chapter 266: For Sale
Possessions are tangible. The memories of the people are more important. – Miss BeulahRYE’S THOUGHTSAbout four months after Michael Ray died, the family moved to a small apartment. The sisters would now share a room, and everything had to be consolidated. That first move after his death was the hardest. Everything seemed to hold a memory of him. Neither girl wanted to get rid of anything. But they did.Then they moved to Savanah with an old friend of Donna Leigh’s. Even more had to be sold.Sometime while they were in Savanah, things began to disappear. His flag. The golden necklace with his ashes in a charm. The teddy bear holding a picture of Mike. Their grandmothers pearl necklace. Rye had cried herself to sleep when she couldn’t find her necklace from Okinawa. She had asked Leigh Anne about it and their mother heard. Donna Leigh had beat Rye with a belt, screaming that the world did not revolve around her.She still had a small scar on her back where the buckle had ripped open
Devil’s Saints: Taz Chapter 267: Showroom
I make man glitter; furniture is a byproduct of the process. – SticksChance drove the silver hatchback to the old warehouse district in Monroe. He parked next to the brick and glass building that backed up to the river. From this side, you could see the ridge giving the city across the river its name. The sun was setting, and the bright yellows and oranges reflected off the water. As the lights on the businesses and bars came on, these also reflected on the water. They were occasionally disturbed by a small watercraft. It was not quite warm enough for the water skis to be out. Night fishers for trout would be setting up. He remembered going out with his dad and granddad. Smiling, he thought of more recently when he and his brothers would fish off the dock behind the warehouse. They should do that again.With that thought came another. Chance could see it clearly in his mind’s eye. Standing on the back dock teaching a little boy with a gray patch of hair how to bait and cast a line.
Devil’s Saints: Taz Chapter 268: Housewarming
Do you want me to stay? I can be your first house guest. – ChanceOn the way back to her house, they stopped at a local pizza place and got a large pizza with everything. Chance was glad that she did not pick off half the toppings. Instead, she enjoyed it and relaxed and even got into the movie that he put on.After the movie, and then another, Rye could barely keep her eyes open. Chance suggested that he stay the night. He even said that he would stay on the couch. Since she didn’t want to stay by herself. Rye easily agreed. He sent a quick message to his mom saying that he wouldn’t be home tonight. There was no way that he was going to tell her that he was sleeping on the couch.Now at what Chance swore was an ungodly hour for the weekend, someone was banging on the front door. Throwing off the blanket, he walked from the couch to the front door. As he passed the hallway, he heard the faint sounds of the shower. Opening the door, he found exactly who he did not want to find. Old l
Devil’s Saints: Taz Chapter 269: Men
The only thing that women are good for is spreading their legs. The sooner you learn that the better your life will be. – Donna LeighRye stood in the hallway and saw all the women in her house. She was fighting off a panic attack when the dark-haired woman spoke. Reality slapped her hard in the face with what the other woman said. Why was he still there? What did he want with her? He had to have plenty of women that would give him their bodies. Was the black-haired woman another of his conquests? Is that all she really was?The tears in her eyes were threatening to fall when Chance stepped into view. He looked at her and seemed to be just as hurt as she was. But then she remembered that she should have known better. The anger inside her rivaled the pain. Angry with herself just as much as she was with him, she turned on her heel and started to return to her room.He called her by the damned nickname he gave her. Facing him she reminded him that she had a name. Then she reminded he
