Retaliation

Chapter 16

John P.O.V

"f**k!" John exclaimed looking at the pile of bodies in there newly digged grave.His son has really done it this time. How was he suppose to get them out of this one?

Six Jokers dead at their hands and on of them is the damn president of the Blackberry grove charter.It didn't matter where he turned to, he was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Dammit he might just kill Don himself after that trigger happy moment of his but how could he blame his son. Seeing Rachel tormented and humiliated like that made him want to kill them himself. Not even to mention by the way Sin was staring at Rachel he knew that , that bastard wanted her and would stop at nothing to get her. Donovan just couldn't allow that and neither could he.

That didn't make what was going to follow any better.Who knows when or how long it was going to take to get out of this . But one thing was curtain a war was coming and ungodly amount of blood was going to be shed in the streets of blackberry.

"All done prez' Rick said loading the last shovel back onto the truck.

"Ok let's get out of here before someone sees us and we have to bury yet another body."

John , Rick and 3 more club members jumped into the unlicensed black truck and sped towards the club house.It was dead quite everyone seemed to be preparing themselves for what's to come. 

***********************

They got a few hours of sleep at most when the first cellphone begun ringing. It was Nick Clark the president of the Dragon Riders.

"John speaking" he answered the phone.

"John , it's Nick . Listen word on the street has it your boy killed Sin and a few other Jokers. I only called to warn you retaliation has already been set in motion and they have called their other charters for back up.

"f**k!" John yelled. "Thanks for the heads up Nick , appreciate it man."

"Don't ... You didn't hear s**t from me .Got it?" Nick threatened then ended the call.

What have they done?  This war could probably be the end for G.O.C . Who knows how many casualties there was going to be and they were already out numbered as it is.There was truly only one thing left to do and John hated the idea more than anything. But he knew if he wanted his club and it's members to come out of this still standing he needed to put his own personal feelings aside and do what needed to be done.

Don P.O.V

The sound of his message tone woke him on his left side lay'd a sleeping Rachel, she looked so peaceful and innocent it warmed his heart.He pulled her closer to him he gave her a kiss on the cheek then grabbed his phone to check his message.

It was from his father , an emergency meeting was being held in twenty minutes and he expected everyone to be present. Don has been expecting this message since last night , hell he wasn't under any illusion about the s**t storm he had created. He let his eyes settle once again on Rachel , he didn't care how much trouble lied ahead it was all worth it having her at his side again. He regretted nothing, she was worth it.

Don jumped in the shower put on some new clothes and head out the door not wanting to be late.

"Your'e leaving?" a sweet voice stopped him in his tracks.

Turning a round a sleepy Rachel sit up in bed whipping her eyes. Even half awake she looked beautiful to him. He quickly walked over to her crouching down beside her and took her hand in his.

"I have to go the club needs me but I'll be back before you know it ".

Rachel nodded her head a look of concern played in our eyes, "You made a big mistake didn't you?".

He stared at her face ,"I would fight an endless amount of wars if it meant I could have you by my side".

She seemed taken back by what he said but it was nothing but the truth he would do anything for her.

"I have to go Rach, get some sleep it's still early and you had one hell of an night."

He kissed the top of her head , pulled the covers over her body then walked out , closing the door behind him.

Donovan had made it just in time for the meeting, his father had a look of annoyance on his face.

"Glad you could join us" John said as Don took a seat.

"Oh come on John leave the poor boy, he was busy making up for lost time" Rick said next to him snickering.

"I think it's safe to say were all glad Rachel is safe and that's she's back with Don but we have a s**t load of problems to solve because of it." John said grabbing everyone's attention.

"First I thought I should let you know that Trigger had came out of surgery this morning and he is stable". Everyone around the table cheered in response to the good news..

"Okkey settle down you can celebrate later.Now for the reason for our emergency meeting. I got a call from the Dragon riders this morning , it seems like word on the street is the Jokers has already planned their retaliation and has asked some of their other charters to come in case things escalates."

"John, we won't be able to survive an attack from more than one Joker charter" Bull said concern taking over his features.

Some of the others voiced their agreements causing a slight panic in the room.

"I know ..." John said still they continued voicing their concerns.

"I said I know now shut the f**k up so I can speak". They turned their attention towards him.

Don watched his father take a deep breath then letting it out shakily and he knew something wasn't right.

"There is nothing I wouldn't do for my club or for my family even if it means I have to be go through dark waters. So I called Victor and the Los Angels charter is on it's way . They should be arriving here Sunday afternoon ."

Everyone stared at John in shock , Donovan couldn't believe his ears. His dad has called Victor? Things must be really bad if he called his father called his worst enemy for help even if that enemy was his fathers own brother and his uncle.
