“Damn, Brother. You even get women when you go with your Old Ladies to the doctor now?”
“You know how it is. When you got it...”
I spit out a drink of my water as I laughed. I knew we were in a serious situation, but it was better for everyone if we could try to keep from flying off the handle.
“I think I need to give KJ a call,” I told Viper. “He'll need to know this so he can work something out.”
I saw Viper grimace. He still didn't trust the law, but he'd learn once he was around KJ. He jerked his chin at me indicating he was in agreement. I knew he was worried about the boys getting into trouble. But he didn't have to worry there. I just had to prove it to him.
I picked up my phone and called, “Hey, bro. Need you here in official capacity.”
“Now?”
“Now.”
“On my way.”
That was the fucking way to have a conversation on the phone. I hated the damn things, but they did come in handy.
“Let's all go out and see if there is anything else to eat, I'm still fucking starving and I could use a beer.”
Everyone nodded and off we went in search of more food and beer.

People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

My phone rang as I sat at the bar eating a sandwich and drinking a beer. I sighed. I fucking wished I had done something to that bitch Jade before now. As soon as she left Karma, I should have put someone on her. Karma had been hoping he could get her to cooperate, but I knew she wasn't going to. She was nothing but a malignant growth on human kind. It had surprised the hell out of me that Karma could never see it. I don't know if he was just thinking with his dick, or if he truly couldn't see the type of woman she was.
“Yeah,” I said as I answered the phone.
“KJ is on his way in,” Streak said.
“All right. And keep a heads up for the two docs that are on their way. Give me a call when they get here. And Streak, they are women docs so don't be an ass when they get here and think it's just a couple of women trying to get in. One of them is Dr. Adams.”
“Gotcha, Prez. I'll be on the lookout.”
As I hung up the phone, KJ walked in the Clubhouse. It hit me that KJ hadn’t been to Church since before the patch over when I saw some of the newer men stiffen up. I didn't exactly blame them, most of us haven't had a real good experience with the law, but KJ was different. Time would have to prove that to them though.
I watched as he walked toward me. KJ was about Viper's size. He kept his hair cut military short, sides buzzed tight with it a little longer on the top. His eyes were a piercing blue and I've seen grown men damn near piss their pants when he glared at them. We've had many a laugh over some of the dumb ass things criminals do. I stood when he got close to me, reached out a hand to grab his hand, pulled him in to me, and gave him a bro hug.
“Been too long, Brother,” I said to him.
“Yeah, Dog, it has. Sorry I’ve been missing Church. Work has been crazy insane lately. There's been times I've seriously thought about retiring and coming home. Shit's getting rough, Brother. We need to find the time to go for a ride. I could use the stress relief.”
“Well, I'm sorry to tell you, the shit you're about to hear here isn't gonna help your stress level.”
He grimaced. I watched as Viper came down the stairs carrying a garbage bag. I knew he had the boys’ clothes in there. They had gone upstairs to take a shower to get rid of any evidence that might be on them. We'd be doing a disinfecting of drains soon. But I wasn't worried about anything coming down on us. However, I knew Viper would do what he thought best to take care of his sons, just like I would with Beau.
Viper nodded to me as he walked over to Creed and said something to him. Creed lifted his chin, grabbed the bag and walked toward the kitchen. Viper then headed toward me.
“Viper, want you to meet my cousin and our Brother, KJ.”
“KJ, this is the man I've been telling you about.”
KJ held out his hand, “Fucking glad to meet you. Any man who has the admiration of Dog has got to be a fucking good man.”
Viper reached out and shook KJ's hand and murmured, “Don't believe everything you hear.”
“It was all good, Brother.”
KJ studied Viper for a minute. He could tell that Viper wasn't kosher about having a sheriff in the building as he appeared a little tense.
“Brother, I want you to hear me,” he said to Viper. “Our own we protect.”
“We protect our own,” Viper said back to him. I watched as a little of the tenseness left him.
“Vip, you think the boys fell asleep?”
He sighed, “That's fucking possible. They were exhausted. Apparently they haven't slept in about thirty hours.”
“Fucking wish they'd let me know what they were doing. I'd have assigned Creed and Brick to help them out,” I commented.
He nodded, “Think they got a little of me in them.”
I barked out a laugh, “A little? Fuck, those boys are almost clones of you.” I heard feet pounding down the stairs and watched as Reb, Pred, and Karma stepped into the room. “Where's Jace?”
Karma shook his head, “Zoey won't let him leave her. For some reason she's got it in her head that he will keep her safe. Every time I suggest he leave,
