Hell Froze Over by Harley McRide

Then it came, like they all knew it would. Buzz rushed at Freebyrd, trying to knock him on the floor. Freebyrd held firm but Buzz began punching him in the stomach.
    Ice was standing back looking at Buzz and Free, Kink and Magnum were making sure the man wasn’t going to enter the fray too quickly. They wouldn’t abide by that. Freebyrd got sick of Buzz and pushed the younger man back and began his assault. He was relentless, punching him in the stomach and then throwing an uppercut to his chin. Then changing arms and doing it again. Buzz tried to fight back, but Freebyrd only raised his arm and blocked his punch and continued. Buzz was backing up a few steps with each punch, getting closer and closer to Ice. Kink held his breath and the older man paused for a second and then gave Buzz a chance to catch his breath. The room was silent as Freebyrd leaned in and sneered at the younger member.
    “Freedom comes at a price, motherfucker, and I have paid that price over and over again, which is why I got my name, dumbass. So I would never fucking forget what I did to get here.”
    Free leaned back and threw the last punch that knocked Buzz into Ice as he fell. Ice made a small move like he was going to take Buzz’s place and Freebyrd looked him in the eye and said, “You want some of this, you can have it. But if I were you, I would think twice about that, son.”
    Ice paused and seemed to think about his options and looked at Buzz who was leaning against the wall, face bloody and chest heaving. He stepped back slightly and held up his hand to Freebyrd, who wasn’t even breathing hard.
    “Smart thinking, help that piece of shit get cleaned up and then you are on guard duty in the back by the trash cans for a fucking week. And no booze for a month. You wanna try this again, I will not hold back and you will be leaving this compound in a fucking box, you feel me?” Freebyrd said.
    Everyone was silent as Ice helped Buzz stand and then lead him to the back where the bathroom was at to help his brother. Freebyrd looked around the room. “I am man enough to admit I made a fucking mistake. But from here on out, make no mistake, I will kill any motherfucker who thinks to challenge Creed or Fork, you all get to go through me to get to them, remember that shit.”
    Their old President turned and walked to the bar and slapped the top. “Gimme a fucking beer and a bag of ice, that boy’s head is rock hard, like his brain.”
    Everyone chuckled and they moved the tables back together and took their seats and continued their day like nothing had happened. All but Kink and Magnum who looked at each other and shrugged. It was Magnum who said, “One of you fuckers wanna answer our question about why the fuck we have been banned from our house?”

Chapter Ten

     
    Boo looked in the mirror and had no idea what to say. She really wasn’t sure if the person she was looking at was actually her. The women were all in the living room waiting for her to change and come out. She had taken that time to look at herself yet again in the mirror. She looked so different, so fucking rockin’ she wasn’t sure she could actually pull off this bitchin’ look the girls had given her.
    Bob and Nike had cut her hair, not a lot, just a little, but they had shaped it so she could actually repeat the style they had done, because now her long blond hair seemed to flow over her shoulders and down her back. However underneath, instead of being blond it was now red, the two colors were so different, yet complimentary, that it gave her a hint of edginess she had never had before. Treat and Rain had done her make-up, showing her how to do it to either enhance her perfect skin to make it seem like there was no make-up on, or to make it a little deeper and darker so it made her eyes stand out, looking sexy and mysterious. It was perfect, the whole look they had given her. The other women had helped as well, giving her lessons on how to walk in the biker boots to
