her. No other Brother has been with her. It's not like I wasn't there; I've got no right to be pissed at him. I need to get the fuck over myself.
It takes me some time to focus on my job but I get to it and work through lunch. I can’t wait for the day to be over. I finish the schedule and check it against the families’ one last time. This is for when I’m at Laconia so I need to make sure everyone is covered. Cloud and CJ will have Pres and Danny’s kids. Tess is staying home, she’ll have Tiny’s girl. I have double coverage and no one leaving the yard. If I could, I’d have them on lockdown until everyone is back. With the kids still on high alert, Pres is nervous. He needs to show for a meet so keeping everyone covered is priority. An Officer will be with them every day just in case. While work has been crazy, Amanda has been amazing. She’s excited to be going up. She loves riding as much as I do. I like that she’s not trying to bring a ton of shit with her. She has a backpack of clothes; I laugh because fuckin Patches carries more than she’s bringing.
Rich comes in for the schedule. I hand it to him with the families’ schedule. He sits and reads it. I think he’s nervous about leaving Tess.
"Has she had a vision Brother?"
He looks at me, "No, she hasn't had a bad one in a while." He's not saying something. I wait. He wipes his hand down his face. "She's pregnant. She didn't even know. It makes me nervous. She knew she'd have the twins two years before she had them." Fuck.
"She doesn't see everything, Brother; maybe this one’s different too."
He looks at me, "I think she won't have this one. I have a bad fuckin feeling Brother. Christian is on edge, when he's on edge I know it will be bad. I need to go to the meet but I'm coming right back, I won't be staying."
I nod, "Do you want me to stay back? I'm not required at any of the meets, I volunteered for your dad. He doesn't need me, especially with Alan and Chet there.
He smiles, "You need to take Amanda, pop her cherry and all that. She's going to love it. I'll call if we need you. Worst comes to worst, we delay your time until the majority get back."
"If you still feel it's off before we leave I'm staying. You've never been wrong, Brother. Having more than half the Brothers and HS away isn't going to ease that feeling or leave you with enough help to keep everyone safe." Fuck, I don't want to leave now.
He stands. "Let's just keep the plan as is. I'll let you know beforehand." He walks out leaving me feeling uneasy. Fuck. It's been a while since we've had a major threat; I need to check my spare and ammo. Shutting down I pack my bag and lock my door on the way out.
I was planning on seeing Amanda later but I need to be ready. I call her as I hit the front stairs. "Babe, I need to make sure my gear is ready. Do you want to come up to the Club tonight?"
"I can do that. I'll grab a bag and be there by ten thirty."
I can hear her smile. "Thanks, I was hoping to taste that sweet pussy tonight."
"Fuck! Sometimes it's so good to hear shit like that, now just wasn't one of those times. I could have used the silence." She sounds like she's in pain.
"What happened?"
"I cut my hand with the razor I was using to scrape the window. I thought I'd paint a new scene on it. I need to go, I'll see you at ten thirty with my bandaged hand." She laughs. Fuckin woman.
I pull up in front of the shop three minutes later. I hunt her down and find her in her office. "You're sewing it up? Fuck, Mandy. You want to go to the hospital?"
She laughs at me. "I have an appointment in an hour. The hospital will take too long. It's not that bad. You can do it if you want." She puts her hand out to me.
I'm no fuckin doctor but I can see it's bad and wince. "Sorry babe, I was just fuckin with you, I didn't mean to maim you. Let me take
