this whore to live, we gotta do us some trading, a member for a member."
"That wasn't our terms. you give me the girl and your word that no harm comes to Red and we will cut you in on our shine venture. We will pay you twenty-five percent for the next ten years."
Rubbing his beard in deep thought, "I tell ya what Grim, I'll give you my granddaughter in exchange for the woman and thirty percent of the take for the next twenty years."
"I can't do that Hook, you know that." I'm outnumbered and outgunned. Even if I give the signal, my brothers' won't make it in time.
"I am however willing to negotiate, I'll come back to the Rejects, if you let Red and her daughter leave here today with Jailbait."
Hook holds up his hand giving some sort of signal to his men, one I don't understand.
"You insult me boy, you think I'd take you back. You aren't worth my consideration. You became dead to me the day you left, with that faggot Slim. By the way how's them little boys of his, good to know he can still procreate with one nut. I said I'd take a member for a member."
Before I can react, a shot rings out, nailing Jailbait between the eyes. His blood matter splatters across Red's face. She screams out in pure fear. Her terror squeezes my heart, hearing and feeling her fear makes me freeze, this was a bad idea—a motherfucking deadly one.
"You don't get my granddaughter, take your whore, and get out of here. I expect that twenty five percent the fifth day of every month. Sarah is no longer any of your concern, that bitch isn't her mother. She is dead to me ya hear. Tell Slim, one day I will come for one of his boys. A son for a son." Hook and his men are on their hogs and riding off as Slim and the boys pull up behind me.
What the fuck just happened? I didn't pull the trigger, but Jailbait's blood is on my hands. I pull my glock from my waistband and fire for Hook's head clipping him in the ear as he drives away.
Dropping down on my knees I kneel down beside of my fallen brother and for the first time in all of my life I pray to God to take me instead. Red, places her hand on my shoulder. She just witnessed my friend have his head blown off and she is trying to comfort me. I shrug her advances off, I remove my black bandanna from my head and give it to her to wipe her face. I've let her down, my club...I am useless. What was I thinking putting faith into Hook, or myself. I guess this is my payback for all of the souls I have taken. For all the men I have killed, I am being punished for finally giving a fuck.
Red reaches down, takes my gun from my hand and starts firing at the Rejects, clipping their back door man in the shoulder, but not throwing him off of his bike. My brothers finish him for her though. We are far from even with the Devils Rejects.
"Get her out of here," I order Romeo to take Red back to the Roadhouse.
Slim orders me to leave as well, but I don't want to, I need to keep busy or else I am going to go after Hook on my own.
"Brother, you need to go take care of your woman. I have to say I am sorry to see Jailbait go, but I knew Hook would pull this shit, that's why I sent a potential with ya and not a patched brother. I know you had a soft spot for the kid."
Leaving my brothers to clean up my mess, I go for a ride to clear my head. I find my way to Romeo's cabin where he brews most of our shine. Taking a mason jar from our next delivery I chug, not caring that it is the one flavor I don't care for, pink lemonade. One of the other MC's ordered it for a wedding or some shit. Pulling out my baggie of smoke, I roll me up a blunt and smoke until the memories of the day have faded.
After drinking and smoking myself into oblivion, I ride back to the clubhouse. The brothers are having a party in Jailbait's memory. I don't see Red anywhere, she probably got wise and left. Betty, comes over to me hands me a beer, and takes to her knees. Lighting up another joint, while she pays worship to my cock. Her lips wrap
