Page 49 of Whip’s Wisdom

“Okay, is everything alright.”

“Well, I guess it depends on how you take everything. Is Liz up?”

“No she’s in bed, went down not long after the kids. Why, what’s going on?”

Well it looks like Rage didn’t show up at his house after we got back.

“So tonight Whip got some news when he went and confronted his mom. It turns out that for three years that his dad was in prison she was a club whore here. She got pregnant here by one of the brothers.” You hear in the background Devil curses under his breath probably already knowing where this is going. “You were one of the named brothers, possibly being Whip’s biological father.”

It is quiet for a long time before you hear Devil clear his throat, “When are we going to get a test done, Whip?”

I look at the phone in complete shock that he is so accepting that this is something that is happening.

“Whenever you want, Devil. If you want, I don’t want to disrupt your life. You have a family and I don’t want to mess anything up for you.”

“Listen, you’re not going to mess anything up for me. If you are my son, I want to know. I would’ve wanted to know this was a possibility years ago. You are twenty nine years old and I am just now finding out that it’s possible. It breaks my heart for me, for you. I want to get it done as soon as possible. None of this is fair for any of us.”

“I just don’t want to cause problems for you and Liz.”

“You’re not going to cause any problems for any of us, Whip. So we are going to the hospital tomorrow. Get whoever else you need to get to go with us. I will get in touch with our guy at the lab so we can get results quickly.”

“Alright.”

We hang up shortly after that and make a call to Chains next. He too was shocked and wanted a test done right away. I have never felt like I was wanted by my parents and finding out that I didn’t really belong to them shook me. Finding out that these men that are my brothers want me as their son and are not disappointed by the fact that they could be my father is something new that I am not used to.

After we got off the phone with Chains I look up at Terror, “After we do the test tomorrow, I’m going to head to Briarfield so I can see the kids. I didn’t know if we were going to get this stuff done this soon, but I want to be with my family when we find out the results. So I’ll do my part and then head out. If those two don’t come back as a result, I’ll get in touch with the other brothers and we can do another round with them.”

“Sounds good brother. Go get some sleep. I’m heading home.”

The next morning I head to the lab with Chains and Devil. After we get our cheeks swabs done we make our way to the waiting room.

“So I think that I am going to head out. I want to go to Untamed to see my babies. I know they are at the daycare and I don’t have anything going on at the shop today. I told the nurse who took my swab that I would need to be called once the results are done.”

They look at me and nod.

“We are going to stay, our guy told us he can get it done in the next couple of hours and we really want to know what’s going on either way. We understand that you want to go see your kids. We want to know if our family is expanding. We will call you when we know. Be careful on your ride, Whip.” Devil says.

With a nod I head out to my bike and turn out of the parking lot heading towards the road to Briarfield. I want this half an hour ride to speed by because I miss my woman and I miss my kids. I decided to take backroads because I didn’t want to get stuck on the expressway and this way I can do whatever speed I want and hopefully get there sooner.

As I turn onto one of the side roads I notice in my mirror as a black SUV pulls up behind me. It is like it came out of nowhere, then another comes from another road and turns in front of me. I have a feeling that this is not a coincidence, so I try to make a turn and try to get away from these SUVs, when a third comes out of nowhere and side swipes me. I lose control of my bike and try to regain control when the car behind me bumps my back wheel, sending me spinning out and towards the side of the road. I make it to the side of the street before I am hit again and the next thing I know I am no longer on my bike and everything goes black.

“Wakey, wakey little bastard.”

The voice of my asshole brother comes through along with shooting pain all over my body. Then in the next second water is being thrown on my face, jolting me awake.

“There he is. Our wonderful guest has decided to join us with his wonderful presence.”

Looking around noticing I was strapped to a chair and surrounded by a bunch of assholes in suites. Travis apparently leading whatever charge this was.

“Finally found people to follow you blindly, huh? Must be a bunch of idiots to think that you were the one that was going to do great things.”

Travis punched me in the face for that one, but it was worth it.

“You need to learn when to shut your fucking mouth. I don’t know how familiar you are with the Bellacane Syndicate, but these are men that work for me from that family.”

“Wow mommy must be sooooooo proud. Finally got yourself all wrapped up with a group of men that will kill you when they find out what a fucking moron you truly are.”

He punches me in the stomach this time, “I’d watch what you say to me little brother or your time here is not going to be as fun as we hoped it would be.”
