TECH'S FOREVER- SONS OF SILENCE MC (Book 4)

Outside Help At Church

TECH POV

     It is almost time for us to head to the clubhouse for church. I can tell Ryder is still concerned that some of the brothers will blame him. "Babe, come here," I tell him with a smile. He walks over to me, I pull him down on my lap and kiss him passionately. "No one blames you. They all know you are helping us. They all know you are trying to purge your office of corruption. Some of them already love you and the rest already respect you. We are going to go and listen to their ideas. Maybe get your friend involved and help make the ideas happen. I love you. It will all be okay." I inform him. "I love you too. You're right, I have nothing to feel nervous about," he replies with a sigh of relief. He pulls me into another passionate kiss that leaves us both breathless before hopping up. He grabs my hands and pulls me up while stating, "Come on it is time to go. We'll have time for more fun later." I smirk and wiggle my eyebrows in response making him laugh.

     Twenty minutes later, we are pulling into the clubhouse, and the prospect on the gate waves us through. As we step into the main room Mayhem waves us over. "Good morning guys. We have come up with some ideas for how to handle this. We'll discuss them in church. Did you two eat breakfast? I can have Grams bring you some breakfast sandwiches. Don't have time for much else." he says as we approach. "We would appreciate some sandwiches. I am starving. Hard to survive on love and sex." I reply making Ryder blush. "Trust me I know, brother." Mayhem smarts off with a smirk. That makes Ryder turn redder and me too. Never fuck with the Prez. He will turn it back on ya.

     Prez calls church as we are finishing up eating. Ryder sits in the chair beside me. Once everyone is seated Prez bangs the gavel, "Alright everyone, I will let Ryder here explain what is going on. Then we will work on a plan. Ryder can tell us what might work and what won't. I also understand, you have a friend in OPR," He nods. "If you think he would be willing to work with us too, we can conference him in. Everyone, listen to Ryder." Mayhem demands. "My boss thinks you are filthy outlaw bikers. He plans to send a package with Agent Mallory Mahoan. Then have her and I, plant some of the package on one of you or at the clubhouse. Once whoever is busted, have us raid the clubhouse. He thinks that will make you talk to keep your assets from being frozen and from going to jail. From what my friend, Trey, in OPR, said this isn't the first time he has done this. They are investigating him. I will do everything in my power, to make sure his bullshit doesn't hurt this club. I have seen what kind of men some of you are, so, I know with the kind of man Tech is and what I have seen,  this is a good club. I will call Trey, on speaker, to see if he is willing to help us figure out which ideas will work." Ryder explains.

      Mayhem lets him get his phone and I set it to work through our speaker. Trey answers on the third ring. "Hey, Ryder. Caught me at a great time. Got your report filed yesterday. Just got home now from setting up bugs in Thomas's office and home. We got a guy on Mallory and he bugged her place. Also, we got some nice pictures of Thomas and her together. You are right they are sleeping together. Did you need help with something else?" Trey asks. "I am glad you are home, Trey. What I need help with is a little unorthodox. I have met the club that Thomas wants me to set up. My man is in the club. They are not what most people think they are. They want to help us bring down Thomas. They have some ideas and we want to run them by you to have you help decide, what will work. Are you okay with helping me, help them?" Ryder asks nervously. "Definitely unorthodox, Ryder. I will help as long as all of it is legal. I trust you and your judgment on the club. You have great instincts. So hit me with the ideas. One at a time." he replies.

     Mayhem nods and points to Ironhorse to go with his idea. "Trey, my name is Ironhorse. We have security cameras in a lot of clubhouses and I thought we could add more, cover everywhere. Make them more hidden and also have our security room, recording everything, moved off-site so they can't destroy our recordings." Ironhorse states. "Ironhorse, those are great ideas. More cameras that are hidden is smart, just make sure that any that are in private areas, such as bathrooms and bedrooms, have a way that the occupants can turn them off and on. They have some apps for phones, that can do that. Also, getting the hidden body cams for everyone would be a good idea. Moving the security room off-site would make them suspicious, but can set up one off-site that also records everything if you have someone tech savvy." Trey replies. "My man is tech-savvy. He runs the security systems for their businesses and clubhouse. His road name is Tech. I am sure he could do that for them." Ryder declares proudly. "That's great, Ryder. Tech, if you need any help with any of that have Ryder call me and I will help walk you through it," he replies. I smile and nod, telling him "Thanks" even though I know I shouldn't need it. For the next idea Prez speaks. "My name is Mayhem. It is nice to talk to you and have your help. We may be a motorcycle club and have a bad reputation but we protect our women and children. We plan to send them off-site the day of, or a couple of days before, so they don't end up upset or handcuffed with us. We know, no matter how much we plan, that it is going to happen until it gets cleared up. It will depend on how much notice we can get. They should be able to pull the footage from the off-site security for us and call our lawyers. Also, it protects them from the harassment. That is something important to all of us. We are a large family here and most of us live here together." Prez states proudly. "I would personally send them out of there the day before Mallory is due there and plan for them to be gone for at least three days. Make sure they can come back sooner if needed or stay longer if needed. Set up a calling schedule. If I don't call by this time, get ahold of Ryder to see if the raid happened. You are right you will be cuffed and detained until we straighten it all out. Make sure they use cash so Thomas doesn't pull a bust where they are too." Trey replies with sincerity. You can tell he is starting to understand how bad the situation is. "Hey Trey, my name is Wolf. I had an idea of somehow putting micro cams on the ones in on the bust, that they don't know about. That would mean we are depending on Ryder to get them on these people. Hopefully, it is only him and Mallory in on it other than local PD. I know they won't help set us up. We trust Ryder, too. So, that would only mean getting one on Mallory." Wolf adds. "Wolf, that is a great idea too. It should only be Mallory and Ryder from the FBI unless Thomas comes himself. They both wear glasses so it is feasible. You can get ones that connect to the glasses. We can have it send the footage to both me and you. Ryder, think you could sneak it on them?" Trey asks. "I know I can. I will make sure that it happens." Ryder replies in earnest. "Hey, Trey. My name is Bear. I was thinking that we could send the prospects and older not very active members off-site too. We may not be a bad MC but there are some out there. I,  we, don't want to leave our women and kids unprotected until we get things settled either." Bear explains. "I think that should work also. As long as you don't send officers and a lot of members." Trey replies sounding impressed. "Trey, my name is Khaos. All these guys stole my ideas. So I have a question, is there anything else I need to do?" Khaos asks. "Honestly, I think you all covered all the bases. If I think of anything else, I will pass it on to Ryder or Tech. I will make sure Ryder gives me Tech's number and him mine. I do believe, listening to you all and what was important to you, that Ryder judged your club correctly. You do sound like you are one of the good ones. I will talk to you later Ryder. Stay vigilant, everyone. Bye." Trey replies. We hear him hang up after we all say bye to him.

     Everyone talks among themselves, figuring out who is going, how to make sure they have enough cash, and where to send them. Prez bangs the gavel. "We will figure all of that out soon. I think I speak for all of us when I say thank you, Ryder. If it wasn't for you, things could have been traumatic for our women and kids. We owe you and your friend for that. I welcome you to our family. If no one has anything else. Then for now church dismissed." Mayhem states and bangs the gavel again.
