Calming The Storm

Chapter thrity-seven

Smoke's pov

Juice and I are back at Clay's and he is asking us questions. I don't. Wanna tell the truth. Juice then tells Clay about his dad. And also everything is else. Told him what happened between him Miles as I.
Im afraid of the outcome. Clay tells us he is gonna keep it between us. Well that's a relief.

"Now what?" I ask.

Juice shrugs and took my hand.

"We're in this together. Ride or die." Juice says.

"Ride or die baby." I say.

Later I told Jax about my idea and he wasn't to happy. We discussed things and then he told me about how mom was hi when she wrecked. Now I'm pissed.

Next day

I rode alone to talk to Jax and when I rode back to the clubhouse. As I got off my bike Juice rolled in. Oh shit I'm in major trouble! He then walked up to me and I can tell right away he is pissed.

"You and I are gonna discuss this later." He says mad.

"Yes sir." I say.

We all are in a meeting. After it everyone except Jax and Bobby walked out. Juice then pulled me into my room of the clubhouse.

"What the hell were you thinking riding alone?" He asks.

"I was safe that's what matters." I say.

He shook his head.

"This conversation isn't over. Come on we have things to do." He says.

I nod and then we all left. Juice, Clay, and I are in the van.

"Why aren't the two of you talking?" Clay asks.

"No reason." I lie. "She's in trouble." Juice and I say at the same time.

"What did you do?" Clay asks me.

I then looked out the window.

"Panther Smoke." He says.

Damnit.

"I rode alone." I say.

"Panther Smoke Ortiz." Clay says.

"I know. I'm already in deep shot with my man, I don't need it from you." I say.

I crossed my arms and looked out the window.

"Just let it go for now." Juice says.

We went to Frankie and the guys made me stay back. After the explosion I went in with my gun and Juice and I have a gun to Frankie. After a moment we stepped back. Then he is dead.

Back at clubhouse

Juice and I go to talk.

"You know damn good and well you ain't supposed to ride alone." He says.

"I was talking to my brother." I say.

"We all discussed if you wanted to ride somewhere someone goes with you or you ride with me. I give you the privacy you have asked for." I say.

"I know you do. All I wanted was to talk to Jax and to ride my bike." I say.

"You know my rule! Someone rides with you or you ride with me! That's my one and only rule I have for you!" He says raising his voice.

"Yes I know!" I say raising mine.

"What would you have done if someone ran you off the ride?! What would you have done if someone took you?!" He asks slightly yelling.
