We both shake our heads no.
“Let’s get back to the clubhouse.Prez is calling for church,” Terro tells us all.
Token and I climb into the work truck and pull out of the parking lot behind Anvil and Terro.Mercy and Blender are on either side of us, with Rhino and Pope coming in behind the truck.We make it to the club without a problem.Token parks the truck outside the building where we run Gold Wings Construction.I climb out and pull on my cut as I make my way towards the clubhouse, wanting to see Charlie before going into church.
I step into the dimly lit great room, looking in the direction of the bar where my Sparrow always is at this time of day.She is there, smiling at each brother who comes to the bar to grab a quick drink before church.She looks over at the door, and her smile grows even brighter when she sees me standing there.That smile warms my soul, pulling me to her.
“Hey there, good-looking,” she sasses as I make it to the bar.
“Aww, thank you, Charlie Girl,” Remedy replies as he lays a hand on his chest.
Charlie chuckles, shaking her head.“You're pretty in your own right, Remy.Now, Blitz, would you like your usual before you make your way into church?”
Nodding, I smile at her.“Yeah, Sparrow.”
Like every time before, her face lights up at the use of the nickname Sparrow.She turns back to me with my beer and a shot.I throw back the shot before chasing it with a sip of my beer.My Sparrow goes down the bar serving drinks, completely in her element.I would even say she's finally happy and settled.Raider comes out of his office like a hurricane.
“Get your asses in church.We’ve got shit to go over and chaos to fucking plan,” he shouts.
Everyone moves at once, taking their drinks with them as they go.I get up and go behind the bar, catching my woman by the hips and kissing her on the neck.She lets out a soft moan, leaning her head back on my chest.Looking at me over her shoulder, the smile on her face is sultry.
“Later, Sparrow, for now do me a favor and don’t leave the property,” I whisper kissing her temple.
“What’s happened?”she questions with concern in her voice.
“Nothing for you to worry about.Just stay close to the clubhouse.”
She nods, not saying another word.I kiss her temple one more time before letting her go, then head into church.I’m the last one through the door, so I close it behind me.
“Nice of you to join us,” Raider jabs at me.
“I knew you would wait.”I wink at him.
Ever since the night we finally aired everything out and finally started being honest about what’s going on in the club and our lives, we finally feel like a fucking family and brotherhood.Don’t get me wrong, the psycho twins are as they’ve always been, but everyone seems lighter and more at ease, even with the shitstorm that is the Knights and the last of the sex trafficking ring.
Raider bangs the gavel, calling us to order.“Alright, there are several things that we need to go over.The first is that we need to bring in some more prospects.That was part of the reason we had the open club party that blew up like fireworks on the Fourth of July.”
Everyone murmurs to themselves at the reminder of the shitshow.
“Isn’t that the fucking truth.”
“Fucking assholes.”
“I can’t believe they were that fucking stupid.”
“That said, Anvil came to me about another way to possibly bring in three new guys,” Raider finally continues after giving everyone time to say their piece.
Anvil sits up taller and explains, “I have three guys who were with me on my last deployment that can’t go back to war.There were many nights while on watch or moving across the desert that I would tell them about home and the brotherhood we share.They’re lost and looking for a place to settle now that Uncle Sam no longer wants the animals they created.It would mean a lot to me and them to bring them on as prospects.I want to give them the brotherhood they’re missing and something to keep them busy.”
“Are you willing to sponsor them?”Token asks him.
“I am,” he nods.
“Let’s bring it to a vote,” Raider calls.“Everyone in agreement to bring the three men on as prospects for the club say aye.”
There’s a round of ayes.He looks around at us and asks, “Any nays or concerns?”No one says anything.
“Anvil, reach out to them and have them come to the clubhouse first thing tomorrow.We’ll welcome them and go over what they need to know and our expectations.”
