“On the merit that I'm fire bitch!”Fi spits out her eyes blazing. We call him Psycho for a reason, but I've never seen the man back down so fast. He shrinks back into his seat, his fingers forming a temple. He’s got a this-bitch-is-crazy look on his face to me, but he’s too pussy to say anything else.
Sledge jumps in, “Trust me, if there's anyone I feel like deserves that seat it's me.” Fi glares at him, but Sledge holds his own. Thing is…I see what Fiona's done for the ladies at this club, I'll gladly give my seat up to her. I think she's a great asset for the future of the club.”
Psych’s expression shifts to one of consideration, but he’s gonna have to take my word for it. Fi is the best person for the job.
“Way to go, Sledge. Always a man of reason. You’re still the Sarge, and it’s a big job. We need you to continue being the eyes and ears of this club. Speaking of the future of the club… We have a lot of changes coming,” I grin.
“Like what?” Switch asks.
“Welp. I worked out a deal with the Cardez promising to help them do ten times more business than he is right now. I got the know-how to do that. I have all the local connects. These are connects he doesn’t even know about. It’s a good thing I went to prison, I learned a thing or two. Inside is where it’s at. It’s how a lot of information gets leaked to the outside and shuffled around. Those guys have whole operations going on inside with the prison guards in on it as well.”
“Figures. You did make good money before you went in,” Sledge says.
“Yep, yep. The sheriff is going to get paid to make sure all shipments make it through the county. It’s going to open up doorways with these networks. Lily’s in place as well, she’s got our back in the office, so we got it.”
“With Breaks out of the way, the Savage Outlaws have no organization.”
“That’s not true. Lara’s got a handle on shit over there. She told you that,” Snatch speaks up for his lady.
“That’s what he means mainly. Let me get her in here for a minute. It’s standard to be only the fellas in the club, but it’s turning unisex. Lara will be taking control of the Outlaws; it's her club at the end of the day. All the guys over there go to her for shit anyway. She ran the stash house, the club monies, helped her father with the deals. It’s an easy roll over. Andddd she's obviously one of us, so there's no conflict there. It actually helps both our clubs, I don't know… I see a marriage of the two clubs in the future, what ya say Snatch?” Fi beams at him and Snatch nods his head with a quiet smile.
The guys rile back up and poking fun at Snatch. “Looks like the snatcher is about to get snatched by the missus! Who’s under the thumb now, pretty boy?” Switch pinches Snatch’s cheeks. He elbows him off him.
“Get off me motherfucker. Ain’t nobody getting snatched up or nothing. I still run that.. Shut the hell up,” he murmurs, but he’s got a grin on his face.
“Ooo, pretty boy’s girl is gonna run him,” Psych teases, rubbing his hands together.
Snatch waggles his finger at Psych. “You boy, shut the hell up and fix your bike, that shit was rattling like a cage this morning. I’ll take the rest of the bolts out.” Psych throws a napkin at him.
“Cry me a river when your girl spanks you.”
“Mannnn, this is a serious Church meeting? Is this what you guys do in here?” Fi questions in disbelief.
“Yup,” the whole crew reply in chorus and we all bust all laughing along with her.
Yeah, shit is turning out fucking right. Axe would be proud of me I hope. Who says I can’t run a club?
“Alright, last order of business, but let’s bring Lara in and she can talk a little bit.”
Fi steps out to go get her and Switch pushes him. “Didn’t I tell you to get the fuck off me?”
I jump in and finish up the meeting. “I got a guy I did time with who’s gonna head up the chapter for her while she organizes the guys. Anyway, she can tell you herself. Here she is.”
Lara walks in confidently in her jean shorts. The guys respect her and know she’s Snatch’s woman. He stares at her with admiration in her eyes, giving her an approving nod.
“Hey guys. I won’t hold the meeting up. I guess you heard I’m running the Savage Outlaws.”
“Yep, we heard,” Switch chimes in.
“Cool, cool. It’s been a process. I’m cleaning things up over there so it’s gonna take a minute, but I wanna let you know I’m down with you. You know that and I think we can join the clubs together. Savages can just have their own chapter, but it can come under the combined club rules of Dark Angels and Savage Outlaws. It’s going to take some time to do that, but does anyone have any objections to it?” Lara’s blue eyes search around the room nervously, but Snatch gives her a wink to calm her nerves.
“Make sure you get rid of those thieving drug rats over there. We can’t have them sniffing up all the coke, otherwise the cartel will shoot every one of us execution style,” Psych says sarcastically.
“Trust me, I’m well aware. I did used to be one of those cokeheads, but y’all know I’m not anymore. No judgement though right?”
“None from me,” Switch confirms. “I like the idea. More leverage and we got Snatch’s cousin inside too along with the Sheriff. Good shit.”
“Exactly. Anyway, that’s me over and out. Oh, and you picked a good one as VP!” Fi and Lara hug.
