He swallowed the lump in his throat and turned his attentionto his brother.
“What’s up?”he asked.
“You got a second?”
He had all of them that day that didn’t involve time withGeorgie.
He nodded.
“Right, well, I got a situation,” Rush declared.
Dutch tensed.“What kind of situation?”
“The thing, with your boy, Carlyle…”
Dutch tensed even more.
“…it’s made it clear the brothers are restless.”
That wasn’t what he expected.
“Sorry, Rush, don’t get what you’resayin’,”he told him when the man said no more.
Rush put his hands on his hips and stated, “Brother, we haddecades where we were men with a mission.Now we got a few years under ourbelts where things are copacetic.Situation is, the men are not men who aregood with managing an auto supply store and building rides for customers, themajority of whom are assholes who got money with the occasional joe who knowscool.”
Dutch just stood there, staring at the president of his MC,knowing he had not once thought he might be the only brother in his Club whofelt adrift.
But maybe he wasn’t the only brother who felt adrift.
“They jumped in for you, for Carlyle, and I know that,” Rushcarried on.“But it was not lost on me theyjumped in.Chompin’ at thefuckin’ bit to have something righteous to turn their minds to.”
“I still don’t get what you’resayin’,”Dutch told him, though he thought he did.
He felt it in his gut.
A heat.
The good kind.
“Chaos needs a righteous cause and I have no idea what thatis and how to give it to them, but I have a feeling you can help me,” Rushreplied.
“Fortunately, there are not manyCarlylesin this world,” Dutch pointed out.
“Yeah.So I suggest you and me go talk to Beck.”
Dutch blinked in shock.“Say what?”
Beck was the president of Resurrection, another Denver areaMC.
And Resurrection was to Chaos what NightingaleInvestigations was to the Denver Police Department.
For the most part, the causes they took on were just, buttheir route to resolving them was seriously direct, nebulously legal, and inResurrection’s case, if need be, brutal.
“The brothers who want something to sink their teeth into,they’ll get it.The brothers who want to kick back and enjoy life without thatshit can do that,” Rush told him.
“You know all the brothers will kick in,” Dutch said.
Rush shrugged.
