Free Woods (Aces MC Series Book 5) by Aimee-Louise Foster Page B

watch, "Right we
better be going to get everyone in place on time."
"Do you think they'll cause trouble?" Lyric looked concerned.
I shrugged, "Who knows if they have a hidden agenda then yes."
The group armed themselves with various weapons and we looked like a force to
be reckoned with as we drove from the yard in unison.
    "Is everyone in
position?" Duke asked over the mic. Various people answered and I
sniggered knowing that Duke would respond. "Alright smart arses, try not
to deafen me this time. Is there anyone that is not in position?" The
radio was quiet, "Thank you that's better."
"Right, Stoney and Lyric you're our lookouts. Let us know when you see
movement."
"Will do Woods, it's all quiet at the minute." Stoney responded.
"Yep all quiet here also mate." I could hear the nervousness in
Lyrics voice.
Duke and I sat in the van, I glanced at my watch and knew that they were due
any minute now and couldn't help but tap my feet. Duke glared at me,
"Sorry mate but I'm fucking nervous about this shit. You know I'm a lover
not a hater."
Duke sniggered, "As long as you're loving the right people I don't
mind." I rolled my eyes at his comment in reference to Chloe, this was
neither the time nor the place to discuss her.
    "Right we have two vehicles
entering the estate, a 4x4 and a people carrier so a maximum of twelve people,"
Stoney stated over the Mic.
"Show time," Duke rubbed his hands together and stepped from the van,
I followed suit to stand in the middle of the car park.
The 4x4 pulled up beside us and I was worried that they may just get out and
take us down but the driver turned off the engine and the passenger door
opened.
"Good evening gentlemen, this is quite the welcoming committee." Flex
extended his arms to the guys positioned around the car park. I noticed that
the people carrier had hung back but Justice had moved his car forward so he
was blocking the 4x4 in the car park should there be any trouble.
"Well you know Flex it's better to cover your arse than not. How you
been?"
"Yeah not bad, I've brought someone to see you." Flex indicated to the
4x4 and the rear door opened. A badly beaten lad got out and as he neared I
realised it was the young boy from the bar.
"And what do you have to say Jarrod?" Flex asked not even looking at
him
He held his side and stepped closer with a limp, "I'm sorry for
disrespecting you and wearing my colours in your territory."
Duke nodded at me and I stepped forward to pass the cut to Flex. He didn't make
any attempt to take it he simply waited for the young lad to hobble over to
collect.
"Thank you," he whispered.
I almost felt sorry for him, being a prospect was like an apprenticeship this is
where you learned your craft and proved yourself in order to be offered a position
at the end of the training. This was also the time when you could fuck up
because you were still learning and this kid certainly did that. I knew one
thing for sure, he wouldn't give up his colours so easily next time.
"So are we cool?" Flex asked as Recon joined us from across the car
park.
"We certainly are as long as you keep your guys in check." Recon
folded his arms across his chest looking menacing.
"Oh they're in check mate don't you worry about that." Flex turned to
leave, "Oh I nearly forgot." He dug around in his pocket and pulled
out a photograph. "I don't suppose you've seen this girl on your travels
have you?"
I took the photo and noticed that it was the same girl, that Jen had shown us
earlier on in the evening. I shook my head, "Not that I recall." I
passed it to Recon and raised my brows as our eyes met.
"Who is she?" Recon asked.
"Just a friend's sister, we're worried about her. Could you pass that
around to see if any of the guys recognise her?"
Duke nodded his head, "Of course I can man that's the least I can
do." Flex extended his arm and they shook hands. "I'll be in touch should
any of the guys know anything."
"Thank you." Flex turned on his heels and walked towards the 4x4. As
he entered
