Chapter Seventy-Seven: Storm
954 Words
When morning came I woke up alone and started to panic. I checked the bathroom before I went searching through the rest of the house. When I walked in the living room I found a site that made me fall even more in love with her. She was curled up on the couch with Stormy’s head laying on her stomach like it was a pillow. I snapped a picture before walking over and giving them both a kiss on the forehead. I turned to go back to the room so I could get ready for work when Chris and Tyler walked through the door. I motioned for them to be quiet and pointed over at the couch. They gave me a thumbs up before heading down to the gym.
Once I was finished getting ready I made my way to the gym to talk to the guys. When I walked in I saw them on the treadmills warming up. I made sure I had their attention before saying, “hey guys! I don’t know if Thane told you about the incident last night, but could you spend the day with Crisa and Stormy. If they have to go anywhere can you make sure you are there? The parents of the kids that jumped Stormy have threatened Crisa and I just want to make sure that everyone is safe. Other than getting ready for the get together tonight they shouldn’t have too much to do.” Once they agreed and told me that Thane already told them what happened to make sure they stayed with Crisa I made my way back to the living room. Crisa and Stormy were still asleep so I gave them another kiss on the forehead and left them a note on the fridge.
When I got to work I could hear someone about a repair costing more than they were quoted and saying they wouldn’t be paying for it. It was too early to deal with this. The person either didn’t know that he was in the MC’s shop or he was too stupid to realize who he was threatening. The voice sounded familiar, but I couldn’t place it until I came around the corner. It was the guy that threatened Crisa last night. That guy was causing me a headache every time I turned around. I approached the counter and said, “look you signed paperwork stating that you would pay the listed amount when the vehicle was done so you either pay or you don’t get the car back. It’s really that simple. You don’t get to not pay for work completed because you were fired from your diner job.”
I could tell he was contemplating coming at me before realizing that he was going to be out numbered. So he decided to try intimidating with his words by saying, “you don’t know who you are messing with. I am a very dangerous man. I will be taking over this city with my gang. I’m going to take you and that b***h of yours out for disrespecting me. Now give me my car if you value your life.” I couldn’t help laughing at his claims he doesn’t realize that dangerous men don’t have to tell people that they are dangerous because they have this aura that tells people not to mess with them. When I caught my breath I said, “hey Tristan you know what to do with the car. As for you I’m done with you. You only think you are dangerous and you won’t be taking over this city because it’s mine. If you come for any of my family you will watch me take your family’s life before I set your house on fire and watch you burn to death. My woman is more dangerous than you could ever hope to be since she has an entire MC and the Italian mafia at her disposal, but let’s face it she loves playing with her knives.”
As if right on queue there was an explosion in the parking lot. Tristan walked in giving me a thumbs up and the guy ran outside cursing all of us. I made my way outside and watched the car burn as the guy tried to figure out what just happened. I made sure to go into my office and get the recording and send it to Crisa so she could get a laugh out of it as well. Later that afternoon I received a phone call from the leader of the club’s charter a couple of towns over. Apparently this guy is part of a gang in his area and luckily we have an agreement with them. Their leader called the charter to find out what happened before he decided to wage war on the MC. So I explained everything that happened and sent the video over before he told me that he would take care of it. I told him that if the guy steps out of bounds again he is dead and if he tries going after Crisa the gang will have the entire MC and Italian Mafia breathing down it’s neck. That’s not a war they want and it’s most definitely not a war they can win. He assured me that he would handle it and that the gang leader doesn’t want to lose the treaty so he wouldn’t retaliate. Hopefully without the backing of the gang he wouldn’t try anything, but he’s proven that he is stupid so he will probably try something. I sent out a text to remind everyone about the get together today and then got to work doing the books until Crisa called me around lunch time.
