to know these new arrangements or the fact that he will be around more often now.
After he finished giving him his new orders, Billy left us alone on the front porch.
It felt great knowing he really did need to leave but took the time to say good bye to me without it feeling rushed.
“I’ll be back as soon as I can.” he promised.
“You better b e.” I smiled.
“We’re gonna have to keep th is between us for the time bein’.” he said, flicking his finger between the two of us.
I nodded.
“Then when all the Ghost Rider shit is sorted, I’m gonna tell everyone you’re my old lady and anyone who has a problem with us can go fuck themselves.” he grinned menacingly.
“Sounds good to m e.”
We shared one last kiss and he left on his bike. I stood on the porch long after he left. There is no way my uncle is going to run my life anymore, he already pushed me out here, I’m not going to lose Cas because of him to.
I don’t doubt my uncle loves me, he has only wanted the best for me since he took me on as a grief stricken six ye ar old but to say who I can fall in love with is going overboard.
One afternoon is all it took for my life to completely change and going back would destroy me.
Chapter Six
Cas
Sparky was waiting for my return as I rode towards the compound, he closed the gate behind me as I rode through and parked my bike in the garage.
“Michael’s pissed with you for disappearin g.” he said, as soon as I cut the engine.
“I don’t give a fuck, I’m back no w.” I said, seriously.
“I take it you’ve been with Barbie?” he asked, already knowing the answer.
“Yeah, and I need to talk to you once I’ve seen Michae l.”
“ Sure, she alright?” he asked, as we strode into the clubhouse and through to the back room where church was held.
“She’s more than goo d.” I grinned, he didn’t have time to ask what I meant as we’d arrived and everyone was already seated.
“Nice of you to fuckin’ join us Cas.” Michael sneered from the other end of the table.
“I’m here no w.” I said, as we took our seats. “Do we know what happened?” I asked.
“One of the prospects on lookout saw Ghost Riders ri de pass, pull out guns and open fire…” as Oak was explaining, the table turned into chaos.
“I say we have a drive by of our own.” Slade said, smirking at the possibility.
“Yeah, take them all ou t.”
This was no good, my brothers were out for blood and revenge and not thinking properly. We would probably have the same amount of luck they did, too many bullets wasted and no lives lost.
No, what we needed was a better, well thought out plan that wouldn’t impact the club but bring down the Ghost Riders once and for all.
I called for quiet and waited for them to listen , once I had everyone’s attention I spoke quietly and precisely so they would understand what I was saying, I didn’t want to repeat myself.
“Instead of exposin’ ourselves like that and let’s face it, they’ll be waiting for a retaliation drive by, lives could be lost on our side too. What if we could take them out without wasting a single bullet on them?”
I had their attention now.
“What are you thinkin’ Cas?” Michael asked, leaning forward on the table.
“I’m thinking we use Sparky’s expertise and take them out in one swoop, they don’t allow any women in their compound so we don’t need to worry about innocent s.”
Sparky’s expertise was playing with explosives.
“Fuck yeah, I haven’t been able to play in ages. What a comeback that would be.” Sparky cheered, banging his fists numerous times on the table top in excitement.
I looked to Michael to see what he thought about it, his mouth pulled up at the corner told me he liked it.
“This is why you’re my VP ya brainy shit.” he said, letting a full blown grin spread over his face.
“Everyone agree?” he asked, looking around the table.
No one was against. They weren’t getting the
