Kid

I have one of the smartest Ol’ ladies there is. She knew I was emotionally hurtin’, so she brought home my lil playmate. Miss Lila Rose and I have become quite the trouble twosome accordin’ to the brothers and the Ol’ ladies. That’s alright though, I’ll get in trouble with that little devil any day of the week. I’m in the livin room playin’ blocks with the lil one when Riley comes in from the kitchen.

“Just got off the phone with Sadie. She said that her and Tumbler are going to stay the night with Skylar and Ryder at ya’lls parent’s place. Sky doesn’t want to leave and come back to the house. I just went through the fridge and have no idea how we’ve been surviving. There is absolutely nothing in there to feed a living, breathing human being. I promised ice cream tonight, so I’m going to head down to the market on the corner. You need anything while I’m out?”

“Grab me some smokes, babe.”

“Kid really, cigarettes—why? You’re going through something, I get it, but taking up smoking is doing nothing short of ending my time here on Earth with you. It’s already shorter than it needs to be.”

“Not now Riley, just do it alright.”

“Fine! But keep in mind this conversation isn’t over!”

Damn infuriatin’ woman! Can’t she just let me be and stop tryin to control everythin’ around her?

“Are you an Auntie Riley fightin, Uncle Kid? I don’t want y’all fighting. I don’t like it. I like when y’all laugh and play. You promiseded me we was a playin tonight. So no fightin okay”

Now how the hell can you hold any expression on your face other than joy at this little chubby faced beauty. I just smile at her and decide to tickle her till her tickle bug left. As I’m enjoyin my time with my little niece the front door slams open, rippin’ off its hinges. Before I can act I feel someone come up behind me, no not one person, several people. Fuckin’ Cardoza’s men. Fuck me! Next thing I hear is Lila screamin’ ‘No, no, no, no, no!’

I try fightin’ the men off, there’s just too many for me. This is the worst feelin’ I’ve ever experienced watching some ass hole run off out of the house with my niece.

“Get your fuckin’ hands
off
my niece,
you
sorry piece of shit. Bring her back here or I’ll rain down hell on your family and then tear you piece to piece and feed you to the crows, Motherfucker!”

Then my world goes black as I resign to it fearin’ for my Lila Rose.

Riley

What. The. Fuck! 
I pull up to my house and see my door kicked in. I was only gone thirty fucking minutes! What is going on? Abandoning my groceries, I run inside my house and see Kid laying in a puddle of blood on the living room floor. Exactly where he was when I left. Oh god. Lila!

“Lila! Lila Rose, where are you, sweetheart? Please come to me.”

I scream running through the house scared to death that one, I can’t find her and two, I have to leave Kid on the floor as I search the house for her. I go to my jeans pocket where I keep my phone and realize it isn’t there. I must have left it in the car or in my purse. Dashing back into the living room I collapse next to Kid.

“I’m getting help, Baby, I’ll get the boys here...please be okay, I can’t raise this baby without you. I need you, Baby.”

As I run to my car I’m still searching for Lila. Where can she be? Please. Oh please, don’t let her be gone. This will destroy Tic and Kori. Please let her be okay. I grab my phone from the front passenger side of the car in my seat and dial the clubhouse right away. Scared to death to be the one to call Tic and tell him his baby is gone. His daughter he just found, and it’s all my fault. I wanted her here to cheer up Kid, how could I be so damn selfish!

“RR Clubhouse” Dad answers.

“Daddy! Help, oh god please help me!”

“Riley! Calm down baby girl--tell me what’s wrong, what’s happened. Are you okay? Fuck, please say you’re alright darlin’.”

“Daddy, Kid’s on the floor, there’s so much blood flowing from his head, Lila’s gone! It’s my fault! I wanted her here to preoccupy Kid and help him. Daddy, Daddy please, I need you!”

“Sit tight darlin’, I’m gonna get the boys and we’ll be on our way. Get your gun and keep it on you till we get there. Hear me?”

“Yes Daddy, just hurry please.”

I hang the phone up and run to my room and grab my Smith and Wesson 9mil and run back to my man. Since it’s just me and my weapon, then we’ll be what stands between Kid and any danger out for him. No way am I losing him now, especially with the baby on the way.

It took me a long time to find my happily ever after, no way in hell am I letting anything take my husband away from me. I grab a wadded up shirt I find on the ground and hold it to Kid’s head wound. Fuck! Why didn’t I do this first thing? It should’ve been one of my top priorities other than finding Lila. Pregnancy brain is really starting to piss me off.

Tic

I just start kissin’ up my girl’s leg when there’s a bang on the door. Fuck! Blue balls were not in my picture for tonight.

“Swear. To. God this better be life or death!”

Bang. Bang. Bang

“Damnit, give me a minute to put my fuckin pants on!”

Rushin’ to the door in my jeans, which aren’t hiding the goods since I’m still hard as a fuckin rock and I pull it open only to be taken aback by Wasp’s appearance. What. The. Fuck! Has someone else died?

“Brother…” I start but am instantly shut down by Wasp.

“No time, Sadistic!’ He growls at me using my full name, now I know this shit’s serious. ‘There’s been an incident at Kid’s, we gotta ride now!”

I turn lookin’ at Kori to make sure I remember her sayin’ Lil’ Bit was goin’ with them and her look is all I need to confirm that my daughter’s in the middle of this shit storm. Without even sayin’ anything I grab my clothes and boots and haul ass for my bike, dressin’ along the way. I just on my bike not given one damn that my boots aren’t laced, shirts not buttoned and I don’t think I buttoned my jeans either. At this point in time, all of those things are moot. I just need to see my baby girl and make sure she’s alright.

We all jump on our bikes leavin the compound. No particular order, no Prez or VP to follow. Wasp and I lead the pack of men. We’re on our way to check on one of our brothers and his family, even with my little one in tow. Only thing runnin’ through my head is dammit, hope no one’s taken Riley again. Leavin’ the club with no information, my mind is full of whirlwind thoughts. Goin’ from Riley to Kid and at last, the worst thought to ever enter my head is that something could be wrong with my little girl. My Lil’ Bit.

Pullin’ up to Kid, Riley, Sadie, Tumbler, Ryder and Skylar’s home we all either park in the drive, the road or even the fuckin’ grass. What we don’t do, however, is stall. We immediately charge into the home shared by the three couples. When I noticed the door off the hinges, I immediately go into Enforcer mode. It’s what I do, I protect. I’m the first one through the door followed by Wasp. What I see upon entering will stay with me for the rest of my life. Riley is standin’ over Kid’s limp, lifeless body aimin’ her gun at us. The one I took her to buy, I taught her to shoot and if we don’t get her out of shock the one I may possibly die from.

Hearin’ a moan leave Kid’s mouth is the only good goddamned thing I’ve heard or seen from this mess.

“Kid, it’s Tic man, need you to come back and get your woman to stop aimin’ her gun at me. Just because I taught her to use it doesn’t mean I want to be her first victim, man.”

Somethin’ I say brings Kid’s eyes springing open. He looks at me, then at the brothers as his memory suddenly comes back online.

“Fuck! Riley baby, put down the gun. RILEY! Put down the motherfuckin’ gun baby, snap outta it. I need you.”

Instantly we have Riley back online, as well. She looks at her hand, then at us and finally back down at her man. She immediately drops to her knees releasing the gun and puttin’ it next to their bodies. She takes Kid’s head in her hands and looks him straight in the eye. Don’t know what she’s lookin’ for exactly, but whatever it was she found it and leaned in givin’ him a sweet, chaste kiss. Helping him up to his feet, he addresses every single one of us.

“Cardozo’s men broke in, several charged me before I even knew what was happenin’. They knocked me out, but first I saw ‘em take Lila. We’ve gotta act now, we can’t wait.”

Looking at my brothers, I make the only statement I plan on makin’.

“You’re with me or you stay away. I will not hesitate to shoot anyone who gets between me and my daughter. You won’t be a brother, you’ll be a wall between me and my destination.”

Walkin’ out the door I hear every one of them following me, they best be on my side ‘cause I wasn’t playin’ around. Jumping on my bike I hear them all do the same. Engines revving ready for battle I see two bike headlights and several cars. All of our Ol’ ladies are here and Tumbler and Ryder are on the bikes. I walk to Kori to fill her in, catchin’ her in time as she screams out her anguish of our baby bein’ gone. I’m no longer angry, pissed or whatever. I’m livid, the look on Kori’s face, my Angel’s face alone is enough to put me in a murderous rage.

Tumbler and Ryder must’ve been filled in by the boys because next thing I know they’re next to me.

“Let’s do this Tic’ Ryder says, ‘Let’s get our girl back and get her home in her Momma’s arms.”

Not capable of any coherent conversation I shake my head up and down in agreement. Chin lifts from all the guys and Wasp comes up to lead us into battle, no fuck that, the opposition side in a battle has a chance of survival. THIS. IS. WAR!

“Kill him, Tic!’ I hear yelled, I turn and see it’s my woman. ‘Kill that sorry piece of shit, make him pay for taking my baby! Make him suffer, but leave him dead!”

I look over at my woman, my life, my love and give her affirmation that that’s exactly what I have planned. She nods at me in acknowledgment. She gets me, and I get her. There will be blood. Lots of it.
