Taken by Lies: Rage Ryderz MC (7 page)

*************Kid**************

I’m fixing to kill someone! I’m so fucking pissed! What in the fuck is this shit! Riley was tied up, her hands and feet were bound separately and then bound together. There was blood in her fucking hair for fucks sake. Her top right lip was bloody and split; she had a gash above her right eyebrow, and it looked like a hand-print on her face! Her fucking top was ripped, and she had bite marks on the tops of her breasts. What in the hell happened here, how long has this been going on? I knelt down beside her and softly whispered her name; she looked up at me through tear-stained lashes and whispered my name. I was lost in that second; I have this need to protect her, I have to keep her safe. If I don’t who the fuck is going to. I need to a man and face my fears, or I need to step back and let someone else take care of her. That thought alone makes me nauseous. I don't think I could do it, I can't watch someone else take care of her. I might not think I’m ready but if I want a chance to figure it out, now seems to be that chance. Either she is meant for me or she isn't, either way she needs me right now.

Next thing I know there was an ear-splitting scream coming from the back of the house. I checked on Riley then turned to see Tic standing next to me. “Riley,” I said as I looked into her eyes, with I’m going to go see what is going on back there. Tic will stay here with you, and I will be right back ok?” Riley started shaking and whimpering when I said that and she whispered, “Please don’t leave me Kid” that was all it took. I looked at Tic, and he told me “Don’t even ask I’m not leaving your side, they have plenty of men back there.” How did I know he was going to say that, I looked at Riley and pulled her into my lap? I whispered things of comfort to the best of my ability by telling her we weren’t going to leave her, and she wasn't on her own. We would take care of everything. I sat and held her as Tic took his knife out of its sheath and started working her binds. When he was finished, she looked at me, and when the next words left her mouth, I wanted to vomit.

“My Mom actually stood up for me for a change. That made him very mad Kid. He knocked her out and came after me. I tried to keep away from him; I swear I did Kid. He is so strong I didn’t stand a chance. I fought so hard, and he said some weird things. She charged him and jumped on him, I tried to help I really did but he hit me so hard I passed out. I have no idea for how long, when I came too he had me tied up and was raping my Mom in front of me, and she was screaming NO the whole time. When she noticed my eyes open and staring at them trying to figure out what to do, she took her fingers and scraped at his eyes. He wiggled off her enough to let her get up. She ran down the hall, and I haven’t seen her since. I heard screaming and things breaking. Then nothing, I tried to move so I could scoot down the hall. I wanted to check on Mom, but my bindings got tighter every time I attempted to move. I think I heard him leave through their patio door, but I’m not sure. Please take me to her Kid; I need to know that she’s ok.” Tic knelt in front of us, in a very relaxing voice said. “Baby girl, I think there are so many people back there helping her right now that we need to stay here and let you get your bearings a little.”

I saw that she was fixing to protest, so I told her to cover her ears. Once she had done so, I screamed out to Smoke to come so he could answer some questions. I heard his boots stomping down the hallway, and when I saw his face, I knew he was beyond pissed. He looked at me and said, “She's awake Kid, and will not let us take her to the hospital. I’m confused as fuck right now because she was moaning for Wasp man. Elizabeth said that she had to find him and warn him." Warn him about what? Wasp, now I’m confused, Wasp left a few years ago to go help his Mom out after his younger brother stole all of her money and disappeared with his old lady and Kid. No one knows who they were. Wasp was very protective of them. According to him as much as he loved his Brothers and his clubs and would always put us first she needed protecting. We had no idea what she needed protecting from. “Did she personally ask for Wasp?” I asked. “No man just under her breath kept saying she had to find him and tell him and warn him. Said she’d protected him and the girls by staying away, and now she had to find him and make sure he was ok. That she had to protect the girls, she always has to protect her daughters. Said everything she did she did to keep them safe. What the fuck Kid? Something isn’t right with this.” This is just on repeat in my head; Wasp is a mean son of a bitch. He is not someone you mess with especially after his old lady and Kid disappeared, and his little brother was responsible.

It was like he never even existed other than a birth certificate for proof. Wasp took off to stay with his Mom and help take care of her, but also because he hoped that one day his woman would come back to him. Dad tried to talk him out of it and bring his Mom here for the clubs to take care of, but he wouldn’t do it. He is convinced she will be back. According to him, their love was real, and she didn’t leave of her own free will and he would find her or she would come back. “Smoke we need to get out of here, any idea when we are going to be heading out of here?” He nodded his head toward the hallway as he was looking at Riley like he wanted to hurt someone for harming this beautiful woman lying in my arms. A few minutes later, I hear a stampede of boots coming down the hallway and then my dad was crouched down in front of Riley and me. “Son, we need to have meeting there have been some things come up that we need to discuss, and then one of us needs to go and get Wasp. I don’t think this is something that should be done over the phone. That will be something we decide when we meet. Get Riley together and get her to the clubhouse, Skylar and Tumbler have Sadie, and the rest of us will help Elizabeth. I have already called your mother, and she is going to meet us at the clubhouse and stay with the girls. We need to get a move on so let’s get going.” Then dad stood up and walked off. I looked down, and Riley was looking at me. I helped her stand up, and together we walked out the door. I put her on my bike and headed straight for the clubhouse like I was told.

I was about to pull out of the driveway, I looked in my mirrors and I noticed everyone was loading up in their vehicles, and jumping on their bikes, so I decided to wait. Then out of the nowhere, I felt Riley start trembling. I was thinking that she was going into shock. Until I felt her get up from the bike and runs, she ran in the opposite direction of where everyone was. I then noticed a Buick aimed right for all our groups. As Riley moved and ran in the other direction from us, the car switched course. I couldn’t get off my bike fast enough to get to her. It was like time was standing still and I had fuckin' lead in my feet.

Everything changed for me that is the first time that murder was acceptable in my eyes. It was also when it hit me full force that Riley, was the most loyal person I had ever met in my life. She ran from the bike to protect me from being ran over. She hadn’t known me but about a year, but she got off that damn bike to save my life. Nearly costing herself hers if it hadn’t of been for Ryder’s quick riding she would have been taken from us. He ran his bike in front of that damn Buick, causing it to veer from its target....Riley. That right there is the reason that she will never leave my sight again! Fuck this bullshit
I’M DONE!

I will kill any motherfucker who tries to touch her again. I may not be making her my Ol’ lady right this second. But she is mine, and I’m going to do this relationship thing and pray I do "
NOT
" screw it up. I have never given a shit about anyone before, but I will give it a hell of a shot because she needs me. And I may be an asshole and may not be a romantic guy. But damn! I can protect her and keep her safe, I want that son of a bitch driving that Buick. I have my suspicion that it's her step-dad, and as soon as we get to the clubhouse, I will know for sure. Right now, she just needs to get the fuck out of here. My dad and everyone are behind me as Ryder and I help a shaking Riley back onto my bike. Dad looks at us and back down the street and yells at all of us “Let’s ride and get the fuck out of here!” I have never heard better words spoken.

We barely have our bikes shuts off and the girls inside than my dad yells “meeting now” over his shoulder. Ryder and I look at each other, and I know he wants answers just as badly as I do. Wasp was important to both of us growing up; he was an honorary Uncle Jed to us. I walk into the office, sit in my chair, and wait until my Brothers all pile in. The word spreads quickly through the compound and through phone calls that there is meeting immediately, no excuses allowed. It doesn’t take long for all of the Brothers to arrive both current and older members who have not attended meeting in years. It becomes extremely crowded in the room, some men are standing shoulder to shoulder.

Dad bangs the table loudly and tells everyone there will be no talking until he has told the whole story. He then proceeds to tell us that he will let us know when that is because, he may need to take a few breathers in between. “Ours brother Wasp as you all know had an old lady and a child who were stolen a long time ago. He was always a very private man due to things that happened during his childhood and did not introduce his Brothers to his family. It was not meant as an insult to us it was meant as a feeling of safety for his family from those who may try to harm them through him. As you know he wasn’t just a Brother, but he also was a highly classified Marine Sniper, who made many enemies in his time. There was a leak on an assignment of his that caused immediate danger if it had become knowledge among his enemies that he had a family. We all talked about it with him and came to the decision for their safety they were to stay anonymous and that was from everyone including Sniper and myself.

Tonight a secret came out of the closet so to say, and it is one that I believe will affect our brother and I have a feeling to an extent a couple of our Brothers including my son. I’m going to ask that you please do not have any type of response until I make it through this and please think it through before you say anything. After I’m done, we will discuss how this is managed with Wasp. It is still something I’m having a hard time wrapping my brain around so stay with me as I make my way through this story I was told. Elizabeth just informed me her real name is Ashton James. For those of you who are new and do not recognize that name, it is the name of Wasp’s old lady that was Kidnapped by his brother. Riley’s real name is Taylor Bates, which is Wasp’s given last name. Taylor or should I say Riley is Wasp’s daughter who was Kidnapped. Here is where it is going to get worse, Sadie is also Wasp daughter, and apparently Elizabeth was pregnant when she was taken from Wasp.” WTF did my dad just say? I’m in some kind of fucking nightmare right? This cannot be happening! I’m about to lose my shit when my dad continues. “Elizabeth says that Wasp was out on a run which we all know one night and his brother whose real name is Justin, came over needing a place for the evening. The story he gave her was he got into a fight with his Mom and needed a place to relax for the night. Being as he is Wasp brother, she let him in not wantin’ him out on the streets or sleeping in his car. Doing the right thing by her old man, she thought. She checked on her daughter and went back to bed since she had been tired that night. Says she felt the bed dip and started to wake up, thinking it was Wasp. Then felt something sting her neck, next thing she knew it was daylight, and she was in a motel room, and she didn’t recognize anything. He gave her some pictures and documents that he had shown he could ruin Wasp life and have him put away for the rest of his life.”

My dad took a minute, as did the rest of us to take all of that in, then dad cleared his throat and looked up at the ceiling. “Should have known by looking into Riley and Sadie’s eyes, don’t know why it didn’t click in my brain. Those eyes are unique. Why didn’t I pay more attention? Why didn’t I notice more? So, we need to figure out how we tell Wasp. I also need to inform you that the girls don’t know any of this either. Justin or Alexander threatened to kill Riley if she ever told them. According to Elizabeth, he hated Riley from day one, had never physically abused her but him mentally and emotionally damaged her. What she has a hard time figuring out is why he is obsessed with Sadie. He knew right away that she was pregnant with Sadie, and she wasn’t his. The question, is still that remains why? It is something that needs to be figured out quickly. I need us to come up with how we want to bring this to Wasp. Any ideas shoot them out there I could actually use any ideas you all have.”

I think we were all stunned into silence as we looked at our Prez and our VP as Tic stood up. “I think we need to call him and tell him we have some information on his family, and he needs to get here ASAP. We need to tell him we won’t be thrashing it out over the phone. You know in case Justin aka Justin is suspicious that we know something. I also think that Wasp and Elizabeth, or Ashton whatever the fuck her name is should be the one to sit and tell the girls their story. I realize that Kid and Tumbler are in a bad position here, but it really needs to come from them. Personally, I think it will be worse on Sadie if it didn’t come from them and Tumbler spilled the beans. Riley is already traumatized this will give her a few days to recover and also a few days for Kid to bond with her and prove his loyalty to her at the same time.” The whole room sat looking at Tic; it isn’t often he has a legitimate answer to a problem we are facing. “That’s a damn good answer to our problem dad” I put out there. The rest of the Brothers shook their heads in agreement or mumbled words of approval. “Problem solved, Sniper give Wasp a call, and I will go let Elizabeth know the plan” dad said as he screamed “meeting over.”
