Free Taken by Sadistic: Rage Ryders MC by Liberty Parker Page B

Once a plan is in place and we know there will not be any blowback on our club from any of his affiliations, we are going to take him down and put him to sleep like the dog he is. He won’t get the death of a sweet dog whose illness or end of life gives them a peaceful put-down. No, not that fucker. He deserves nothin’ less than the death of a death row inmate. Only I’ll never be nice enough to make sure he gets a last meal and a phone call.
     
    My thoughts are interrupted when the chapel doors bang open with a loud howl of a man in mournin’. I’m glad our VP made it to his best friends’ funeral. What I am not happy about is the disrespect he’s givin’ our Prez by makin’ a spectacle of himself. The sadness and rage that’s burnin’ inside of his eyes is one of the hardest of all to witness. Ryder must not feel the same way as he stands and charges his father. Only Kid saves Ryder from makin’ a terrible mistake by grabbin’ him and whisperin’ somethin’ to him that has Ryder stoppin’ and goin’ back to Sky’s side.
     
    I know how upset Ryder is with his Dad, but that is somethin’ that needs to be handled after all the services have concluded for the day. Includin’ the trip to the cemetery to watch him enter the cold ground. We need to bear witness to him makin ’it to his final restin’ place and give him a proper send-off. If anyone deserves a biker’s send-off, it’s him. Our most treasured man in our club. I hope King’s lookin’ down on us and helps us through his loss. Cause Lord have mercy on the soulless maniac that we’ll be sendin’ his way. I hope King can kick his ass to the gates of hell and personally push him to the worst afterlife any man or woman has ever seen.
     
    My mind is once again pulled away from my thoughts as the minister finishes his sermon and sendin’ us on our way to his final restin’ place. After that it’s a send-off from his brothers, friends, and family. Biker style. Full of stories, booze and my girls. I’m glad Kori and I decided not to bring Lil’ Bit. This would be too much for her young self to absorb. Hell, it’s a hard thing for me to absorb.
     
    In the little time she had with King she already deemed him her honorary grandfather. Even dubbin’ him with his own name – her Papa. I hope the babes are watchin’ their mouths as the have my little angel with them, as they prepare food and stock booze for tonight. And they better damn sure make sure my baby girl is safe and loved as we’re gone. I’m really happy that Hawk and his girl Morgan stayed behind with a few of their prospects to guard the women and my girl. The girls begged us to let her stay with them instead of letting Levi stay with his niece as he requested.
     
    I knew in my heart and gut he’d never forgive himself for sendin’ King off, well, like the King he is. Prospects and Patch holders alike, we all deserved our chance at farewells. Patched members aren’t the only ones whose life King made better. Most of all, I’m glad we have every man on deck – so to speak to help keep eyes on Sniper. I have a feelin’ this isn’t the worst of what’s to come today from him dealin’ with his lo ss.

    Saying goodbye….
     
            As we left the church and were riding to the burial ground I looked over and saw Skylar. She was having a hard time keeping herself under control. I just knew once we lowered him into the ground all of us Ol’ ladies were going to have to rally around her as the guys said their goodbyes. She was already weak with emotions; I can’t even fathom how she’s holding up as well as she has. Yes, she’s had breakdowns, but King wasn’t just her father, he was her best friend outside of Riley and Sadie.
     
         Once we pulled up in our uniform line behind the hearse I noticed Ryder having to hold Skylar up. She was already weak and drained. We had to walk a good block to the burial site. He was being laid
