care of.”
The brothers nodded and started to leave before Preach spoke again.
“I don’t get involved with your personal shit unless it fucks up club business, but Jack you need to figure out your shit.”
Jack felt his jaw go hard. He hated being the center of attention like that. He nodded and walked out. His hands hurt like hell and the pain was helping him clear his mind a little. He knew he didn’t really want to claim Viki, but he had said the words in the kitchen and he needed to talk to her about it. Until she was safe, she was his. He didn’t care if he had to kidnap her, he would make sure she was safe until Fish was dealt with and then he would let her go.
He frowned at the way that thought made his heart pound, but he knew it was for the best. He could never make her happy and she deserved to be happy.

Viki woke to the ringing of her phone. She answered it without looking at the number.
“Hey there sweetheart. Need you to get your ass over here. Lily is sick and screaming her head off and I need to take her to the doctor. Angel is working at the shop and I need someone to keep Noah and Cat for a little while.”
“Mrs.? What time… No, it doesn’t matter. Preach told me not to come back around anymore and some shit happened, I think I need to leave town.”
Mrs. let out a laugh that lightened Viki’s heart. “No, he’s right about that, but I had already decided that anyway, but you had your little side business so I didn’t say anything. As for leaving town, I hope not, but will helping me out for a couple of hours really set you back that much?”
That comment made Viki want to throw up. Mrs. thought she was a prostitute, well Viki guessed she was. That thought sent her to the toilet to empty her stomach.
“Damn, are you sick?”
“I don’t think so. Just all sort of hit me I guess. Rough morning.”
“So I heard. I’ve got a clubhouse full of bruised and bloodied boys to deal with along with a sick baby. Now I could really use your help, as a friend. I’m a real good friend to have and I’d owe you one big whopping favor.”
Lily’s screaming got worse and Viki felt sorry for the little thing. She was such a sweet baby.
“Look sweetie, I had already told you to stay away from the club. There is nothing there for you honey. You come up to my house and help me watch the kids for the day. It will be good for you.”
“Mrs…”
“Oh I know about the boy. You load him up too honey. It’s past time we stopped pretending I don’t know everything, because I do.”
Viki dried her face. Could she truly believe this? A favor from Mrs. would be worth an elephant’s weight in gold.
“What’s the catch?”
Mrs. laughed. “Oh sweetheart, there is always a catch, but sometimes it’s not so bad being caught. Just come on up here.”
Viki didn’t want to be caught and she hoped like hell that Jack had forgotten his little claim on her. She couldn’t be tied to a man like that. He would be just like Jerry and she wouldn’t allow Bobby to be put in that situation ever again.
Viki loaded Bobby into her old beat-up Toyota. He seemed nervous, but he couldn’t know what they were walking into. Viki had once thought that she could earn some sort of protection from the club for her and Bobby, but she soon learned that those men were more dangerous than Jerry had ever been.
“What if they don’t like me?” Bobby whispered as Viki settled him into his seat.
“What’s not to like about you?” Viki smiled and kissed his nose.
“My legs don’t work anymore. What if they think I’m weird?”
Viki knew that some kids were mean, but she hadn’t heard Bobby talk about it. Had she missed it?
Shame crashed over her like a tidal wave. She hadn’t really been paying attention lately.
“Has someone been mean to you Bobby?” She asked.
“No, but
