Axle: Savage Skulls MC Vol. 1

Chapter 4

Axle and Priest rode back to Lotus 8.  Their curiosity was peaked when Ford said they wouldn't believe who the man was.

Sherriff Ford was waiting at the bar along with the others.  "Here it is," Ford said, handing Axle a folder with the man's information in it.  "His name is Carlos Montoya, Colombian national living in Vegas."  "He has ties to the Medellin Cartel," Ford explained.

"You're kidding, right?" Capone asked.  "I'm afraid not."  "I don't know what kind of shit the club is mixed up in, but this is serious," Ford said to Axle.

"Spook?" Axle called.  "I read the file, it's legit," Spook confirmed.  "Thank you, Sherriff, we'll take it from here," Axle replied.  Ford just nodded.  "No harm comes to my daughter." He told Ice before leaving the club.

"Now we have a name." Priest states.  "Charlie said the guy warned her to stop snooping around." Axle disclosed to them.  "What does that even mean?" Tank asked.  "What the hell did Menace get involved in?" Ice asked. 

Axle looked at Spook.  "What do you know?"

Spook shrugged his shoulders.  "Not much about him per se, just heard the name on a few wires."  "But the Medellin Cartel...they're no joke."  "Their leader, Enrique Salazar is as brutal as they get." Spook disclosed. 

"How the hell do you know that?" Capone asked curiously.  Nobody in the club knows about Spook's former life as a CIA operative except for Axle and Priest.  "Doesn't matter," Axle covered for him, "what matters is what we do now."

"Any suggestions?" Axle asked around.

"Have Charlie continue digging around." Ice suggested, earning a concerned look from Axle.  "After what happened tonight, is that a good idea?" Spook asked. 

"Well, she definitely can't stay in that hotel anymore," Bas said.  Axle had already made up in his mind, she was moving in with him.  "She's not." "I'm moving her into my house." Axle informed them, letting out a scruffy cough.

Capone's mouth hung open slightly.  Priest had a smirk plastered across his face.  Ice and Bas looked at each other confused.  Axle was hardcore about his privacy.  He hardly ever invited anyone to his house, especially women. He mostly stayed at the club compound.

"Did she agree to that?" Priest asked, trying not to laugh knowing Axle surely didn't have this conversation with her yet.  "She will." He quickly answered.  "In the meantime, no word about this to Viper or Irish."  "Charlie doesn't want them to know."

"Wait...is that a good idea?"  "I mean, if the Medellin Cartel is involved, we might need Viper's help." Capone quick to counter.  Axle sighed understanding the predicament they were in.  "When the time comes, I'll tell Viper, but right now, we just need to figure this shit out."  "Got it?" He stated finality.

"Got it," Capone said.

The next day, Axle called church so Tank, Hawk, and Beast could give their report about last night's undercover operation at Circus Circus.  "How did it go last night?" Axle asked.

"Not as eventful as it was for you all," Hawk answered, his attempt to joke falling flat as no one in the room laughed.  He coughed a bit, slightly squirming before answering Axle's question. Before he could, Tank piped in.

"We saw a couple of members of LOH there." Tank revealed.  "Who?" Axle inquired, wondering if Venom was one of them. "Sniper and Ghost." Tank answered.

"Really?"  "His VP and Enforcer," Axle mumbled, the wheels in his mind spinning.  He was completely baffled as to LOH's interest in a casino in Reno.
