Beautiful People Ch. 2

By Jax_Teller

I was riding my Harley home after an eye opening weekend, it was close to midnight and half way home I noticed a set of head lights following me. At first I thought I was being paranoid, but after a few turns I was sure I was being followed, and they were being very careful not to be seen (like a professional would). I waited until I found the perfect place with no population and well lit stretch of road and I broke hard and turned the Harley around loosed the strap holding my 45 caliber in the holster and rode directly at the vehicle following me. As I got closer I pulled the 45 out kept it pointed at the vehicle until I could see it was a black SUV like one the club used.

I kept my gun on them until they slowly rolled up next to me and lowered the window. I put the gun away and Patrick told me that they were under orders and began to apologize. I said that’s ok I understand, and I turned around and went on home. Once I was inside my apartment I waved and they went on. This was the world I was joining, and it was going to take some adjusting.

In the morning I called Carson and asked his permission to move into the mansion and he said yes and I was glad to hear it. I also asked him if it would be acceptable for me to get a job with a local gun shop. He said that it would indeed, and we agreed that it would also give us greater access to guns and ammo without the clubs’ direct association. I called my employer that I’d worked for three years, a told him I was quitting. I contacted a friend who’d been asking me to work for him at his gun shop as his gunsmith. He was very happy to have me, and asked what changed, and I told him life had been boring and that was changing. The shop was closer to the mansion and that would make life easier.

I talked with my father every day that week something we’d never done before. We were close as father and son but now we were even closer and he seemed very proud of me. He cautioned me about the dangers I was facing and how it would be different from my military experience to date. I told him that I had new extended family to help guide me and keep me safe. Every day that week my father surprised me with every conversation. Friday evening as I had finished moving my things in with Kristen, the membership began to roll in. There were bikes of all kinds and a lot of folks hugging and shaking hands.

In the Main room, we all sat down and there was an official air to the meeting. Carson called the meeting to order and business was discussed briefly, and the assassination attempt was briefly discussed.
