Two days ago I saw Lug going around to several of my brothers asking them to come to a bar just on the outside of town called Harry’s. I have been there a few times. It isn’t a bad place and is on neutral ground. Doesn’t matter what colors you wear, you are welcome as long as you don’t start shit. It isn’t one our usual haunts so I’m curious as to why Lug wanted damn near half the club to come here. The only thing I heard him say was that there was something he wanted to show them. For months I have been trying to find out what is going on with my club but not a single person that knows will tell me shit. I know it involves Lilly. She has been heavily guarded in the club house and she always has a brother and a prospect with her. But tonight I’m hoping that whatever Lug Nut has to show my brothers will tell me what is going on.

I stand there and watch Lilly walk out the door. I’m waiting for someone to go after her. I know if I do she will just run faster. “ What just happened?” Merigold asks. Axel wraps his arm around her shoulder and pulls her close. “ I don’t know baby girl.” Poor girl looks so upset. Not nearly as upset as Lilly just before left. Anne walks around to stand in front of us and puts her hands on her hip. Damn she looks pissed. “ I’ll tell you exactly what happened. You assholes just ambushed that poor girl and she never saw it coming.” “ We didn’t ambush her.” Thor says but there isn’t much conviction in his voice. “ Yes, you did Thor. All of you standing around here waiting for her. None of you looked friendly. Some of you looked down right pissed.” Anne says, looking at Viper. “ Then you bombard her with questions and accuse her of lying. You don’t
5 Days LaterTankI walk into Lilly’s room to relieve Goof from the night shift just as Dr. Mason walks in. “ Gentlemen.” he says in greetings to Goof and me. I nod as Goof shakes his hand. “ Is Mr. Viper coming in today?” he asks. “ He will be in later this afternoon.” I say. He nods “ Good. When he gets here, have him find me and I’ll update him on today’s progress.” Two nurses walk in just then. They give Goof and I a good look up and down. I don’t even give them the time of day. I’m not here for them. I’m here to check on Lilly. I have heard from a few brothers that several of the nurses have tried to flirt with them. None of our guys care about that shit right now. We aren’t at a bar or club. This is a hospital for fuck-sakes. We aren’t here for
TankI was sitting at the bar in the clubhouse having a cup of coffee when Prez got the call from Lug Nut. All Viper said was that he sounded urgent and we had to go. So Brick, Ace Viper and I rode out to the hospital. We race to Lilly’s room and get there just as Goof, Lug Nut and the Ryans are walking out. Goof has a huge grin on his face so I assume it isn’t bad news. Ryans looks up at us and smiles as well. “ Lilly is waking up.” I feel like my legs are going to give way so I lean against the wall for support. “ She is able to weakly respond to commands. A little more time to get her strength back and I believe she will be able to do better.” There is something else. I can feel it, he is leaving something out. Prez says “ Spill it Ryans. What aren’t you saying?” Ryans takes a deep breath “ It’s her eyes. She has extreme light sensitivi
Tank A week has gone by since Lilly woke up and basically dismissed us. Well, she tried to anyway. We gave in to her request by not being in her room. But we are still outside her room to protect her. She doesn’t want us in the room with her or near her. But we are always close by in case she needs us. She will see Neil and the other guys in the band except for Lug Nut. If it is a club member or ol’e lady she doesn’t want them in there with her. By Lilly’s request, the doctors have stopped giving us updates on her. But that is all going to change today. Viper, Lug Nut, Ace, Goof, Thor and I are in the waiting room down the hall from her room. We have decided we are going in there and talk to her. We aren’t letting her push us away. But we have to use a different tactic than what we did before. We have to make sure we don’t upset her. We had just decided tha
Tank I was sitting in Prez’s office talking about what we were going to do with our prisoner. We have had him in our lock-up for two days now. We were letting him sweat it out a bit before we talked to him. It was the only thing keeping that fucker alive. If I would have gotten a hold of him the first day he came in I would have killed his ass before Prez got a chance to question him. It wasn’t hard to figure out he was just the muscle. We want to know who hired him. We are going in four strong. More for his protection, not ours. Brick and Ace are going in with Prez and me to keep us from losing our shit. We are about to go down to get some answers when Prez’s phone goes off. “ Goof.” Prez greets him. “ When? She wants to do what? You put a stop to that shit. I’m on my way.” Prez stands and grabs his keys. “ Tank, Ace. With me.” I stand
Lug Nut Viper called a club meeting for the entire club which is odd. When we have a meeting it is usually just the patched members and we have it in church. Not in the main room of the clubhouse with patched members, ol’e ladies, and the bunnies. I see Neil walk in and go up to Prez. Prez tells him something and Neil goes upstairs. What the hell is going on? Why are there so many of us here? Are we about to go into another lockdown? It has been over a year since the last one. But if it was a lockdown Neil wouldn’t be here so it can’t be that. Luckily I don’t have to wait for answers. Prez steps into the middle of the room and yells “ Shut it.” The room goes quiet. “ I know this was called on short notice so thanks for coming. I want you to listen carefully. I don’t want to repeat myself.” Viper looks around the room but no one dares to
LillyTwo Weeks LaterI just left Ryans’s office after a check-up and am sitting on my bed. Ryans says I am healing really well. Another couple weeks and I might be able to take my brace off but for now I can slowly add weight to it. He said my ribs will probably be three weeks to a month until they are completely healed. So all around good news. I think I'm doing pretty good at adjusting to losing my vision. I have mastered brushing my teeth without stabbing myself. I can brush my hair and put it up in a ponytail as long as I have a hair tie on my wrist . I can dress myself even if I don’t always match. I can eat on my own but nobody will let me cook yet. I can identify most people before they even talk by either their footsteps or the way they smell. Weird, I know, but I am discovering everyone has a unique smell to them. I can eve
Lilly“ I need to do a walk through first. We will go from there.” I told them. “ Mr. Tank why don’t you and Mr. Goof find somewhere to get comfortable. I’m sorry to say you guys are going to be here for a while.” “ Mr. Harry. Would you mind if my friends here had something to drink? You can add it to my tab and I’ll take care of it as always.” For someone who doesn’t drink I still keep a tap so I can pay Harry back for the sodas I drink when I’m done singing. And I always add some extra for the bartender as a courtesy. “ “ Of course Lilly.” I hear someone approaching I’m not familiar with yet so I pay close attention. “ I have your friends taken care of. No worries Lilly. Do I get a hug?” I turn to where I think he is and wait. Then I have a pair of strong arms pulling me to him. “ Good to see you
