got to cover costs you understand? ”
Sinbad,
glances towards his brother, he, and his VP, Mace, discuss the
matter.
“ 5%
then once we ’ ve got the Black County
issue under control, we will open the discussion again.”
“ The
drugs are coming through a new pipeline and are an alternative to
the guns. Again we’ve got cost, so the price has to go up. A
different crew will be used to the one handling the guns. ”
“ Can
this crew be trusted? ”
“ Yeah,
you know them, they are still part of Devils Comfort outfit. ”
As
we discuss a few more matters and previous issues are resolved.
Sinbad and I come to an understanding and shake hands, and with his
brothers, they head off for their Harley’s.
When
The Scarlet Runners are out of sight, I turn to Devils Comforts VP
and SAA.
“ This
issue with Black County, needs to be dealt with smartly and swiftly.”
“ I’ll
take a ride over with Fudge, Tabby and a few of
the brothers. We’ll take a spin through their territory a
couple of times, leave a calling card or two. ” Linc smirks, as the other nod their heads in agreement.
“ Think
I ’ ll come with you, might take the
whole crew. Give the fucker’s something to think about when
they dare to venture into our home territory. ”
Now
that business has concluded, I need to head back to the compound.
Baby Blu has not answered her phone, although I have called her of
times. This is causing we to worry about my baby girl.
“ I ’ m
going for a spin to clear my head.” I inform Linc and the rest
of the brothers as we withdraw from the warehouse.
“ I ’ ll
join you. ” Tabby utters as he comes
alongside me. “ We can ’ t
be too careful, never know who ’ s out
there, and your shoulder must be giving you aggro by now.”
Having
cause to laugh, for the first time since the incident earlier today,
helps to relieve some of the tension that has built up in me. Still,
I need this ride, to help me relax and then, when I get back, I am going to have a little spoiling from Baby Blu. Yeah, just
thinking of her gives me a hard dick and my shitty mood lifts.
As
we spend the next couple of hours riding the open country roads.
Before long the silent and empty roads, has the desired effect on my
body and I head back to Baby Blu. Although I have tried calling her
again, the last couple of calls going straight to voice mail. By now
I am starting to become feel frustrated, what is my baby playing at.
As
I enter the clubhouse, I remove my leather gloves and search the room
for Baby Blu, without success. Linc and Cassie are dancing close
together. Whenever those two are in the same vicinity, they always
end up wrapped around each other. Studying them, as they almost move
as one, Cassie’s head resting on Linc’s shoulder, her
arms hooked round his neck, his arms tight around her waist. Almost
as if they are glued together, nothing was going to come between
them. Cassie’s eyes are closed and from here you could see they
are kissing. Linc ’ s hand moving down
to cup Cassie ’ s ass. They are in a
world of their own. That is what I want
with Baby Blu. Linc whispered something in Cassie ’ s
ear, causing her to turn her gaze towards me. A startled look in her
eyes. Trax and Dec have also noticed my arrival and there was
something about their stance that I did not like. The room suddenly
silent, turning uncomfortable. Running up the stairs I go straight to
my room, flinging the door open. I find it empty. My heart is
beating loudly I am sure everyone can hear
it. I reach for my phone to try Baby Blu again, and still there is
no answer.
“ She ’ s
gone Dad ”
Sinking
on to the bed, I reach for the phone one more time. When it goes
unanswered, I fling it across the room, smashing it against the wall.
A
hot rage begins to burn in me, because I know what Trax means when he
says, “ She ’ s
gone. ”
I
need to vent my anger, on something, remembering Toad is still in the
basement and
