warning. He seemed to take it under consideration and I haven't gotten a chance to ask Baby about him yet."
"Christ. Leave it under the table for now, no need to get Grim riled up best to know there is a fire, before you go blowing smoke. Play your cards right and you'll move up fast, ya hear me."
"Yeah, I here ya." Romeo gets out pumping his gas and I send a text to Baby, telling her I am sorry if I said anything out of the way last night.
She doesn't reply, not that I really expected her to. Romeo gets back in the truck. "And another thing, keep your dick out of Baby, there has been talk. I don't think it's reached Grim's ear, but you better wait until she hits eighteen. And even then I'd be scared if I were you."

I empty my phone and all of my pockets out into the bin outside of the door where choir is held. Grim just returned from his honeymoon with Sunshine, and he is geared up to get down to business.
"First things first, Romeo, how's things shaping up in Chicago?"
"It's going, they have a new Prez, guy by the name of Kilmore, wants to have a sit-down with us soon. He'd like to visit and check out the still, but he is even more eager for us to send up a guy or two and set up something up there. Tread just left out this morning with a truck full for them." Romeo answers him, giving the rundown on how much we've made this month in sales with Chicago.
"Alright, Striker, how's things with the garage, anything I need to know about?" Grim continues asking each brother for updates on what's going on in their area. "Floor is open to new business."
I wait my turn and give Grim the news that the Devils Rejects are starting back up and looking to reach an agreement, leaving out the part about Baby and Lucky. To say Grim isn't happy would be the understatement of a lifetime. But being that he hasn't been President long and that he is looking to keep us all in the loop, he puts it to a vote.
"Another war with the Devils Rejects right now wouldn't be smart on our part. If they step over into our territory or mess with any of our charters they will have hell to pay, all those in favor of letting sleeping dogs lie, say aye."
A unanimous, aye rings around the room.
When I get out of choir, I have a text message from Baby that only reads a simple okay. I know I need to make things right with her, but I don't know how.
I know that it is only a matter of time before we are knee deep again with the Rejects. I am going to have to talk to her though to get in touch with Lucky. If he sent her those flowers, he is going to get a rude awakening when I see him again. Maybe I can get Baby alone tonight; I know she won't be allowed at the Roadhouse for tonight's party. If I can't get to her tonight, I will get Foxie to have her over for dinner. Grim doesn't like any of the brothers hanging around Baby or Rumor when he is around.
I send Baby a text asking her to meet me at the garage tonight during the party. She replies that she can't that her and Rumor or going out for a girls night out. That does not sound right. The Baby I know would rather kiss a dead fish than hangout with her sister. Just what in the hell did I say to her last night?
Baby
Tonight after dinner, I am going out dancing with Rumor for a girl's night and Lucky just might happen to be there. I failed to mention that he'd be there to my sister, but people can bump into each other in a public place, no harm in that. Besides Grim doesn't care what we are doing he is just glad that we are getting along. He will be out most of the night anyways, they are holding a big party tonight at the Roadhouse, it's members and old lady's only.
Rumor comes into my room to get ready. I am going to do her makeup and she is going to do my hair. Who would have thought the two of us would be getting along so well.
"I've never been out dancing or even to a club before other than the Roadhouse. Are you sure I'll have fun?"
"Hell yeah, we are going to get dressed up looking
