blood how they wanted but none of them could refuse a blowout.
“Slade get whatever Sparky needs to make this happen,” he said, before adding, “You have one week, we’ll hit em’ next Saturday.” he finished.
“We should go on lockdown until we take them out.” Oak said, coming up with a pretty good idea. If we were on lockdown it would mean Alannah would be here, close to me and safe.
“N o.” Michael snapped, he didn’t give any thought to it, a straight out refusal.
“Look what happened while we weren’t around, imagine what they could do if we are around, no one is safe until they’re dealt wit h.” Oak argued.
“There’s no need for lockdown yet, we’ll keep our eyes ope n and if, and I mean if anythin’ happens over the next few days, we’ll re-evaluate.”
“Michael, our loved ones were shot at today and you want to leave them unprotected, you can’t fuckin’ expect the prospects to be enough to keep them safe when were gone next week?”
Everyone could see Michael was losing his patience, but Oak didn’t care, he had known Michael long enough to know how far he could push him.
“Fine, keep your families close and when we leave on Saturday all old ladies and the girls can go and stay with Alannah at the cabin. It’s off the radar and all prospects will go with them.” he compromised.
Oak knew that was the best he was going to get out of Michael, he nodded his agreement and left the room.
“Thank god, none of us has any children or there wouldn’t be any fuckin’ room.” Michael tried to joke, it was no good, nobody was in a good mood and a simple joke wasn’t going to help.
Everyone left the room and went their own way, I pulled Sparky towards the bar and got us a beer each.
“So, you and Alannah ay?” he said.
“Yeah, we got a problem ?” I asked.
“It was bound to happen. I hope you know what you’re doin’.”
“I do, as soon as this bull shit is finished I’ll talk to Michael , until then do you have my back?”
Normally I wouldn’t have to ask, in any situation he always has my back, but when it comes to Alannah I had to make sure.
He narrowed his eyes and kept me waiting for his answer.
“I always have ya back brother, no changin’ it now. Just don’t make me regret it by hurtin’ her coz’ I’d hate to put you down.”
“As if you coul d.” I laughed, “But I’m not gonna hurt her again.” I promised, more seriously.
He nodded and then shut up. I looked behind me to see Michael walking with arrogance towards us. Something is definitely up with him and I can’t wait to find out what.
“Sparky, I need you to let Alannah know she’s got company comin’, give her this, tell her to make sure there’s enough food and to get more blankets.” he said, handing over a bundle of cash.
He didn’t hang around, as soon as the cash was in Sparky’s hand he was gone again.
“As far as I know he hasn’t called Lana and he hasn’t asked about how she is. For someone who didn’t want her livin’ this lifestyle, he was pretty quick to use her for security, doesn’t that seem strange to you?” I asked, watching Michael retreat to his office.
“Maybe he asks the prospect on his daily updates?”
“Fuck knows, we leaving or what?”
“You comin’ with?”
“Of course, I’m not gonna miss a chance to see my old lady.” I grinned, careful to keep my voice low.
“I never thought I’d hear you say those word s.” he laughed, walking out in front of me.
Neither did I.
Alannah
“How long have you been a prospect Billy?” I asked, as we ate our late dinner of spaghetti.
“About three months, your uncle helped me out a couple of times and I decided I wanted to joi n.”
“How are you finding it?”
“It’s okay, been a lot better since I came here, I’ve never had so many home cooked meals before.” he smiled sadly.
“What about your family, are they from around here?” I asked.
“Nah, I’m on my own,
