Once they'd gotten word that Sin was out of surgery they'd headed home. Cindy Lou and Perky had went all momma bear and made them eat before they seperated to their own room. Grabbing pj's Liz had headed for the shower, locking the door. Cole must have tried to join her because he looked worried when she'd finally come out.
"Lizzy, what's up babe?" he'd questioned but she really wasnt in the mood. Tired and hormonal she just wanted sleep. Thankfully Claira was keeping for another day so she could atleast get that.
"Not discussing it right now. When I get up" she simply stated crawling into bed while he just stood looking at her. Closing her eyes she heard the bathroom door close and him talking to someone on the phone. As sleep claimed her Liz could only guess he was talking to Ripper.
Six hours of sleep later she awoke to an empty bed and reached for her phone to shoot B a text.
Liz: Just woke up. How do you want to do this?
B: I've been going with the silent treatment. But we need to talk to both men. This shit is not going to fly.
Liz: Agreed. Meet in the kitchen in 15 min
She shot off then got up to do her bathroom thing and get dressed. She'd like nothing more than to laze away the rest of the day. Unfortunatly she needed to get this over with so she could head over to see Sin. Then maybe she could get some time in with Em's before bedtime.
Heading down she found Cindy Lou already starting on dinner bless her. Since crap went down with the sweet butts Ripper had band them from the old clubhouse. Which was fine except it left Cindy Lou with only Perky to help and the strip club was back open tonight.
"Thanks love, I'll start looking for someone for the clubhouse tomorrow." Liz promised and while Cindy lou didn't complain she also didn't argue.
"I messaged both men and told them to get their butts over her in 20. We on the same page?" Brinn questioned as she answers and took a premade sandwhich out of the fridge as Liz had.
"Yep. Don't care about the day to day stuff. They start into retaliation then we better be in the know and fucking locked down. We need to set up now so when our guys starting bringing more family in this won't happen again." Liz ground out her hair temper coming out it full force. Even she could only choke it back so long.
Food was no longer apealing but she choked that back too because she had to for the little bean. But when the guys arrived she tossed out what was left then followed as B directed them to the office.
Choosing one of the chairs Liz leaned back and nodded for B to start it off.
"Last night the club made moves of retaliation against another club. Not once were we warned of possible danger. You simply let us have a girls night. If I didn't have my cash of weapons today would be a very different day. No....you'll let us finish" Brinn cut off Ripper when he went to jump in a defend their actions.
"Club law stated in time of retaliation or danger the families and protected be place in lockdown. Without question those under club protection then have the choice to come or take their chances. As the old lady's to the two highest members we would be informed of said danger and lockdown so we could organize for the lockdown. Instead you two told us shit and now Sin is in the hospital as well as two brothers." Liz added bring in their own club laws to drive the point home and effectivily wipped the self rightous anger right off Ripper's face. Oh how easily he forgot who fucking raised her. Turning to Switch it was his turn.
"On a personal level...I am not someone who needs to be sheltered. I fucking tortured a fucking women for this club. I am the mother of you children. And last night I was sent to hide in the fucking shower by Sin and B. For my and the child I carried safety. So this shit doesn't happen again. Understood?" she near yelled so fucking pissed off she couldn't even look at the two anymore. Knowing her sandwich was about to make a reapearance Liz stormed out leaving B to finish up. Cause she just couldn't.
Switch
From the second he'd been unable to join her in the shower last night he'd known it was bad. Catching a couple hours sleep he'd checked in with Claira before seeking out Ripper. He'd been in the new club house with Cripsy who'd arrived some time that morning. Why he wasn't at the hospital with his kids though was strange but he didn't ask.
All the man wanted to know was what they planned to do in retaliation. They held him off and called church for after dinner. But first they had a talk looming with his and Rip's old lady's. And honestly after a brief chat last night niether of them knew how that would go.
Getting the message that it was time to face the music they both headed over to the old club house. There they were directed into Rip's office where both women ripped them a new one. Took all he had not to yell at B when she started in but when Liz went all out he knew they'd fucked up.
After she'd stormed out Brinn had explained in a calm voice that they had a choice in the future. Work with the women or against them. Cause that's what it boiled down too. She also warned that the second option would likely get them killed which was a blow to the nuts.
"I'm taking Liz to see Sin. We expect to hear your responce after church tonight" Were her parting words before she walked out too.
"Fuck me. They're right and we both know it" Ripper growled clearly feeling like an ass same as Switch. "Church. Then we tell them all. I'm calling lockdown cause Liz is also right. We went against procedure and it nearly got our women killed" he added and all he could do was nod and rub at the tightness in his chest. Fuck if he was being honest he was fighting back tears at how he'd hurt Liz.
Sin
Like a fog lifting she slowing came to but kept her eyes closed as she took inventory. The was pain....a shit ton of pain. Shoulder left side, then pass pain around her stomach. Flashes of the night before also started filtering forward before she caught a bullet that passed right through the table. Then things got a little foggy.
Feeling someone big had her hand Sin peaked under her lashes to see Holiday seated beside the bed. Letting her eyes flutter fully open all she could think is he looked like she felt. "Hey" he greeted smiling while her eyes scanned over him.
"You were shot?" she questioned finally seeing the bulk of gauze pads on his sholder.
"Well after the bastards tried to blow me up my sister shot me" he laughed and she couldn't hold back the tears or the sob that came seconds later. Fuck it hurt. The fear flooding back.
"No no no Sindal baby please don't cry" he gently pleaded now standing and cupping her face. "I charged in after you dropped the last one. It's on me love. I should have called out." he took the blame
"I.....fuck I knew they'd breached.....I couldnt let them....liz and the baby Holly, I couldn't let them be hurt" she casped out her chest burning as she stared at her brother. In a blink his face was replaced by a stranger.
"Hey I'm gonna need ya to pull it in hun. Deep even breaths. Yep thats good just listen to my voice. You're good, I'm good...he's kind of good" she joked then continued to talk and bring Sin down. She'd been on her way to a full blown panic attack but this little dark eyed female had talked her down.
"Who are you?" she finally asked when she'd settled enough to speak.
"That's Kaiah, nurse" Liz answered from the door looking pissed but otherwise good. Reaching a hand out her friend held it in a couple of rushed steps. "We all good hun" she asured then looked to the nurse who'd stepped back but hadn't left. "Im gonna need your help getting all four of them discharged. We had a retired army doctor and nurse on staff. Can you help?" Liz shot towards the nurse who simply nodded and left.
"What the hells going on?" Holiday asked before she could.
"Lockdown" Liz ground out
"Bout fuckin time. Tell me the why's after someone gived me drugs though please. Fuck I hurt" she groaned and let them take point while she slipped into sleep.
Note:
Nope not taping Kaiah in just yet with the club. Debated it but she'll be making intro's before the end of this book. Any guesses who I plan to hook her up with? lol
