Free Taken by Sadistic: Rage Ryders MC by Liberty Parker

favors and has her bein’ seen with only the best psych doctors in the area. Last update we got this mornin’ is that she’s totally broke down and is in a state of an awake coma patient. She's awake of sorts, but isn’t reactin’ to any stimulation. Physical or mental, her eyes are awake but no one’s home. That’s the way Kori broke it down for us in terms we’d understand. Kid and Skylar can’t see her like this, they’ve both left after she hasn’t spoken a word to them last evenin’ and neither are ready or willin’ to go back today. Today, they mourn their father and say their final good-bye to him. Tomorrow they’ll try again. If anyone can get her to come back it’d be her kids.
     
    My attention is drawn as Wasp whistles loud to grab our attention.
     
    “It’s time to move boys. Grab your Ol’ ladies, as per tradition they will be on the back of your bike. Since Sniper’s not here, Tic and I will lead and everyone else fall into place as best you can. We have two men’s spots open so this will mean you move yourself up in line. Anyone who isn’t an Ol’ lady or a member of the Rage Ryders will follow behind us. Let’s make sure to keep this time as respectful as possible. Let’s roll.” Wasps’ voice raised at the last part gettin’ us all into action.
     
    We do as we were ordered. We had a semi meetin’ where we nominated Wasp to be in charge till we know exactly what’s goin’ on with Sniper. Hopefully, he’ll come home and guide us through the next chapter of our lives. If not, if he truly can’t, then it’s going to be put to vote on who the next Prez and VP will be. Even if we have’ta replace Sniper, he’ll always have a home here and a spot in the MC.

~ Ride with the Angels…
     
     
    Ryder: Holdin’ Sky up as we walk into the chapel where services are being held is the single hardest thing I’ve ever done. She’s barely able to put one foot in front of the other. Seein’ her like this is breakin’ my heart. I’m pissed at my Pa as well, what makes his grief any harder than it is for us, for his kids. For his wife, who’s now committed and in a comatose condition. My mom is there with her, holdin’ her hand and tryin’ to bring her back to the livin’, Personally, I don’t see it happenin’ anytime soon. She collapsed upon hearin’ of her husband’s death and when she woke, she hasn’t spoken a word or acknowledged anyone around her.
     
    My girl can’t take much more. We need to put an end to this threat and try to move on with life the best way we can. We’ll all have to learn how to move forward with the club in King’s absence. And if my dad wants to continue to act like a pussy, then he isn’t the man I’ve always believed him to be. He’s always preached to us about family is always the first priority, and the club will always back us. Well, we’re his fuckin’ family and where the fuck is he? Not. Here! That’s where, and after I get my girl home and get her settled, I’m gonna hunt his ass down and remind him that his family is still here, his club is still here. We still need him.
     
    Skylar: I can barely feel my body, I’m not ready to lose my Dad, my best friend. The man who taught me what kind of man I wanted, what I should and shouldn’t be treated like. What was good enough for me. He taught me everything in my life from riding a bicycle to riding a motorcycle. He said I should know how to ride in case something ever happened to my man while we were out. I could always drive him if he was hurt, to bringing his bike back in case of an emergency.
     
    And by God I learned, I learned because he wanted me to. I loved the smile that would grace his face when I’d learn something important he’d been teaching me. What do I do now? Who do I go to when I need advice or help? Who’s going to be here when I fall next time to help me pick myself up. It’s always been him. How can I ever
