Mad Dog (Angel’s Rebellion MC: #2) (Angel's Rebellion MC), стр. 80
“Hey fuckers,” Sarge said as he made his way toward me. “Couldn't let y'all have all the fun.”
I stood up and gave my old man a bear hug, then as he made his way over to Hoss, Gunny spoke up.
“Lucy,” Gunny sang out. “I'm home.”
“Well fuck, Ricky. It's damn good to see you,” I said as Gunny stepped up to pull me into a bear hug like I had just done with my old man.
I waited to continue until everyone had gotten their hellos in, then I introduced all the new men to Sarge and Gunny. Once everyone was in a seat and settled back down, I asked, “Where the fuck was I before these two miscreants interrupted us?”
Among the light laughter at my comment, Hoss spoke up, “Think you were about to ream out a few asses, Prez.”
I nodded at him, “Right. As I was saying, I'm not dead and as you haven't voted me out, then I guess I'm still the Prez. For the most part, I will bring things up to all of you in Church. But this wasn't one of those times. I received a personal call from Shadow asking for a favor.
“For those of you who don't know who Shadow is, he's my and Hoss's younger brother. He's in the military in an elite group and I can't tell you more than that because truthfully, I don't know more.
“When Shadow, who is a patched Brother in this MC, calls me from God knows where asking for me to let these men prospect, then I'm fucking letting these men prospect. Everyone got me?” All heads nodded. “I don't want to see any of you fuckers give them shit over it either, not that I think you would, but I'm putting it out there to cover all bases. If I hear of anyone doing that, you will answer to me. Got me?”
All heads nodded at me again. “Good. Now, on to why we are here. Need to tell you what has happened the last couple days, KJ.”
“Before you start with that, I want to bring something up,” He interrupted me before I could start with the info we had obtained.
I looked at him curiously because I didn't have a fucking clue what he wanted to say, “All right. Let's hear it.”
“Think you need to go ahead and vote Reb and Pred in as Brothers. It should be done before we even talk about this, because those two young men have good heads on their shoulders and will be nothing but an asset to the MC.”
“I agree with KJ,” Karma spoke up. “If Reb hadn't trusted his gut feeling from the get-go that something was off then there wouldn't have been anyone watching Jade’s house and if Pred hadn't hung to that van like white on rice, we may have lost Zoey for good. Granted it ended up where Reb was at, but it could have easily gone somewhere else.”
I saw Viper's expression of pride at their statements and before I could even say anything KJ spoke up, “I make a motion that Reb and Pred be patched in right now.”
“I second it,” Karma uttered.
Only one thing I could do, “All those in favor raise your hands.”
Every hand raised, even Sarge and Gunny who hadn't even met the boys yet, but I knew they were going off what KJ and Karma said because they trusted the judgment of those two men.
“Looks like we need to bring them in, because we've got two new Brothers to welcome.”
As I picked up my phone and dialed Reb, Seer walked over to the storage closet, unlocked it and pulled out two new cuts. Our prospects didn't wear the same cut that the Brothers did. They were given a patch with their name on it to sew on their prospect cut and, if they were patched in, they would remove that patch and sew it on their permanent cut. Seer handed the cuts to me as Reb answered the phone.
“Prez. Need us?” Reb asked.
“Yeah, you and Pred come to Church,” I stated.
“On our way.”
“Come in,” I said loudly when I heard the knock on the door. As the door opened, I commented, “Leave your phones in the basket and get in here.”
We all watched as they put their phones in the basket and stepped into the room. They were both looking at me puzzled, usually I would ask for something and they would be on their way. They knew I might call them in tonight for information, but me telling them to leave their phones had thrown them a little bit.
“I'd like to say something to both of you,” Karma spoke up. “I want you to know that if you ever need anything, it's yours. You saved Zoey's life. That I know for a fact. If you hadn't followed your instincts, Reb, no one would have ever known that Zoey had been taken. And Pred, if you hadn’t hung with that van, we could have lost her for good. So I repeat, anything, I don't care what it is, you name it and it's yours.”
Reb and Pred nodded at him and Reb said, “We were just doing what anyone else would do.”
“I beg to differ,” KJ took the floor now. “You both worked like a well-oiled machine. Not many your age would have thought to keep eyes on two places, then make sure you had backup by way of Jace, which allowed you, Reb, to follow Jade, and you, Pred to stick to that van like glue.
“By having Jace there, he was able to take Noah with him. It's possible that if Pred hadn't told him to grab Noah, that Jade might have gotten to him first. So ultimately, you saved two people.
“And how the fuck
