Boomer

My woman falls asleep in my arms after being thoroughly fucked and loved. I’m glad she’s not that loud or her parents might have heard us. Or maybe it’s just the way it felt. Every time we’re together it’s so animalistic that I lose all sense of calm. I’m wild and she comes along with me.

“I’ll be back,” I whisper into her ear. She murmurs a quiet, “I love you,” and now I don’t want to get up. But I have to because Church is a must. I’m out of the house in ten minutes, everything locked up tight and secure. I can get there faster on my bike, but it’s late and I don’t want to wake Crystal or her family.

I use the new codes that Cyber gave me and pull into my spot. Everyone’s in the main chill area having a drink. “Hey, the family man has finally made it.”

“Fuck off, bro,” I tell Jackson. “Okay, let’s go in the room because there’s a lot to talk about and I want your input.”

We walk in and everyone takes their seats but me. “Here’s the thing. I got a call from Santos today. I’ve made a compromise in good faith with him. He doesn’t want anything to pop off any more than we do. It seems that he wants that bastard knocked off and wants no part of his problems. He says the only reason he doesn’t do it himself is because of his wife. Speaking of, I’m getting married.”

The boys roar, hooting and hollering like fools. I raise my hand and they silence their asses up. “Thanks. We’re getting married in Vegas this weekend. I picked up her cut this morning. She’s the first old lady in the group.” They cheer again. “Now that I got that out of my system, back to Santos. He asked that we squash this. He’s ticked off about the loss of men, but it’s not our fault, so he’s not looking for any retaliation. However, if we attack any of his guys other than the fuck and his dad, we’ll be at war. Any opinions, questions?”

“Do you think he’s telling the truth?”

“Yes. He was eager to make the deal which means he’s not looking for more trouble. On the other hand, he did inform me that there’s a Colombian drug trafficking organization searching for new users and they’ve been in our area.”

“So, you think the shop was them?”

“I think so. He didn’t give names, and I didn’t ask. I don’t want to owe the guy any favors. Cyber can you look into it and find out who’s a major drug dealer from Colombia. More than likely they have records to back up the activity.”

“Can do. That’s something I can probably narrow down by afternoon.”

“Anything I need to be made aware of?” It’s always something I ask. When we first started the club, it was necessary. Now, my men will tell me anything I need to know.

“Are we lessening the security?”

“I don’t really want prospects around my wife, but I think keeping a couple on and rotating would be good.”

“Now, my sister has talked about opening a coffee shop in the area. I will be backing her, but I’ll need you all to help if you can with the build. She needs to do something and apparently, college wasn’t for her.”

“It wasn’t for most of us,” Mick says. I’m getting the feeling he’s interested in my sister.

“Is that it, men?” I ask, wanting to get out of here, so I can go home and hold my woman. When they nod, I call out, “Amen,” and the men repeat it, signaling the end of another session.

“Boomer,” Doc says, walking up to me as everyone else files out.

“Yeah, what’s up, Doc?” I ask. I can see the way he’s nervously rocking on his heels.

“How’s Sophia?” he blurts out.

I smile because he’s a mess and I get it having recently been there. “She’s good. What’s really on your mind?”

“Nothing. Just wondering if she’s comfortable being in the house.”

“You act like she’s used to living outside. Why don’t you come out and say it? You want to protect her, and hate doing it from a distance. I feel you,” I tell him. Doc agrees with me given the current climate. “She’s safe at the house. You can visit when you have time. Now, I’ve got to go.” I clap him on the back and leave for the night.

Even with Santos’s promise, relief doesn’t hit me. There’s tons of danger. We have drug dealers looking to start some shit. While one threat is out of the way, another is lurking, waiting to attack. Since we have no idea who they are or where they’re at, we can’t hunt them down. We’ll have to wait until they return. It’s fucked up, but they’ll be coming around soon. I’ve got no doubt about that shit.

I leave the area, keeping aware of my surroundings. It pisses me off that I’m looking over my shoulder in my town. Fuck that noise. This is going to end. I need to dig a little deeper. We’re still waiting to run all the backgrounds on the people who stopped at the pizza place over the past two weeks. With the attack on Crystal and the abduction attempt on the Millers, we’ve put our focus on those searches. Now it’s time to up our game.
