Deceptive Beauty by Dawn White Read Free Book Online

my cut on before I climbed on my motorcycle. I only had to drive around the corner, but I hope Blade has gotten everyone to the table already. I revved my engine, and took off. When I pulled into the clubhouse I noticed everyone’s bike parked. Anticipation grew as I parked, turned my bike off, and headed into the club. As I walked in Tiffany was standing behind the bar and waved hello. I nodded and said, “Hey Tiff, can you bring us some coffee to the table? We have some business and will be locked up for a while.”
    She smiled and responded. “Sure thing Gavin. I’ll bring two carafes in right away, so you don’t run out.”
    I nodded, walked towards the double doors, dropped my phone in the basket outside and opened the doors. Everyone got quiet as I walked in, wondering what we were called here for. I made sure to look straight ahead as I walked to my chair at the head of the table. Blade nodded at me as I sat. Hammer gave me a thumbs up and I called the table to attention.
    “Something has been brought to my attention that concerns us all. I’m just waiting on Tiff to bring in our coffee and I’ll break everything down to everyone.”
    As if her ears were burning she opened the doors just as I said it. 
    “Got y’alls coffee, even grabbed some donuts from the kitchen. If you need anything else you know where to find me.” She said with a smile as she left the room.
    “Okay now that we have coffee let’s get started. So my connections at Savannah-Chatham Metro PD has said they have evidence that one of our members has been involved in some bad stuff that looks bad on our club. That it has gotten federal attention. We don’t want that! In our profession we can’t take a chance of the feds coming down on us.”  I stood to make sure the rest of my speech was heard properly.
    “Hammer, has gotten involved with human trafficking, not only that, they are underage girls, he traffics them for sex, and being drug mules!” I said as I slammed my fist to the table. 
    Hammer started to interrupt me– “I don’t have to deal with….” He started to say before I punched him in the nose. Grasping his nose he sat down and looked at me with hate-filled eyes. 
    “The young girl they found in the parking lot a few days ago, that was Hammer’s doing. Now I ask what y’all plan to do about it!? I say we vote to kick him out of the club, and Blade will take his place as VP. Who’s with me?”
    Everyone looked at Hammer and raised their hands. Everyone but Blade, but after seeing everyone agree he raised his hand last.
    I grabbed the mallet and said, “We’re unanimous, Hammer is out. Blade grab his cut, zip tie him and lead him to the warehouse out back. Everyone follow we have to be together in this.”
    We all filed out of the room one at a time and made our way to the warehouse out back. I walked in, pulled the saw horse’s together and grabbed the chains and locks. I motioned to the saw horses and they tied him down as I said. 
    “Hammer, you realize we have to remove your club tattoos. We will make it as quick as possible, but you will stay far away from everyone in this club. Do you understand me?” He nodded to me as I heated the metal plating with a blow torch. 
    I pressed the red glowing metal against the skull and daggers on his back, his skin sizzled and he screamed out in pain. When I pulled the metal fro m his flesh, some came off attached to the metal. I relit the metal with the blowtorch and grimaced as the warehouse smelled of burning flesh, which is not a pleasant smell. To calm the room I quickly said.
     
    “It’s almost over, only two more and we’ll let him go.”
    Everyone looked antsy as I finished removing the tattoos. Hammer passed out from the pain, we carried him to the back of the pickup truck and had the pledge drive him home.
    I pulled out my buck knife as I laid Hammer’s cut on the table, and removed the stitching from his name. I tossed his nametag in the garbage and
