Free Holding On by A.C. Bextor Page A

I freeze, shocked by his
actions and look around.  In the room I’m searching for any
eyes that look friendly or familiar, but in this moment I see only
anger, especially coming from Gunner.  He’s the prospect that
is about to patch in with Ace and if looks could kill, well... you
know.
    “ What’s wrong?”
 Again, testing waters.  No good.
    “ Take a look!  Why
would I find that inside Grayson’s home, Mace?  I went there
last night and paid him a visit just as a follow up payback on my
behalf regarding his scene with you yesterday and after knocking
him out on his ass cold, I thought I should do a little clean up
around his place, check him out and be sure his intentions with you
are on the up and up, only to find these!”
    I bend down to scoop up the offending
envelope then I open it to find pictures of Warren and Greyson.
 They are sitting in a bar, I cannot place which bar but I
know I have been there before.  To the right of Warren, I see
Hood.  The VP of the rival MC ‘Angels in Hell’ who share local
space and turf with Peril.  I’m speechless and I don’t
understand.
    “ What?  You think I
know what this is?”  
    Shame is standing beside me, looking
at me with concern but it’s not the same concern I’m getting from
Hem.  Hem is pissed at me.  “You think I know about this,
don’t you? Tell me brother that you don’t actually think I’m part
of this?”  
    “ Well,
he is your dad, Mace.  I find these in your fiancé’s house.  A place
you willingly lay down your body for that piece of shit man of
yours.  This is quite alarming considering you fuck him
freely, or does he pay you to fuck him good, Sis?”
    “ Enough!” Shame shouts at
Hem.
    “ I don't know anything
about this, you don’t believe me though.  If I did know Hem, I
would have questioned Greyson and Dad.  This could be just a
matter of circumstance.”  More anger coming my way.
    “ God you're either
incredibly stupid or just naive.  Either way, I don't care.
  Switch had Hood kill Doc.  We know it, everyone
fucking knows it and there’s your man and your dad sitting there
with him like long lost friends having a cup of fucking English
Goddamn Tea!  Never thought I would see the day your dear old
Dad was playing for the other team, a dirty MC.  All the years
of torment I had to endure from that man about decisions I made to
become what I am, with Doc.  Doc loved me, Mace.  Doc was
the father I searched my whole miserable fucking life for. He meant
everything to me.  He was taken all because he was defending
the right to run a clean Club and now I see your father and your
fiancé engaged in some chit chat with him.  Nothing good comes
of this.  Not a Goddamn thing.”
    “ I’m sorry Hem but I can’t
explain what I don’t know.”  My eyes are welling with unshed
tears and all the spectators have left the room, thank hell.
 I can hear Gunner shuffling behind me though.  He’s
standing next to Shame now.  
    Hem gets up from his seat at the bar,
walks toward me with purpose.  Shame immediately steps in
front of me and pushes Hem’s chest.
    “ Brother, walk away.
 Do not do this.  You don’t know shit, only seen the
pictures and we do not know the circumstance.  Mace is right,
I believe her.  She doesn’t know anything.  Walk away and
we will talk about it later when you have cooled.”
    Hem is so angry at me.  “Are you
fucking her too?  She yield some magic pussy?  Because
you of all people Shame should be just as livid about this as I am.
 This has everything to do with her!”  Hems face is now
wrinkled in anger at both Shame and I.
    “ Shut the fuck up, man.
 You’re angry and you are hurting her.  Get the fuck out
of here and calm the fuck down before you say something that you
can’t take back, if you haven’t already.”  
    Shame gives him a small shove in his
chest and a nod, I can see his jaw clenching in anticipation of
going head to head with Hem.  That
