The man asked.
"I was sent here by my boss to inform you that he wants your head for killing his brother Lee but he does not want bloodshed now, what he wants from you is you to be his slave doing his dirty work for him if you do so he'll let you live" the man said "go to hell" josh said as the man nodded and left.

Josh hears his phone going off as he picks it up seeing that Nicole was trying to call him but he ignores it and slides his phone back into his pocket.
Joshs expression hasn't changed his expression was deep depression and numb inside. Josh grabs his biker jacket and puts it back on climbing off the building as he walked to the bike and drove off to a small cabin in the woods where he lived alone.
He walked into the house seeing Derrick looking around "so this is where you've been brother took me a while to find you" Derrick said as josh sighed and set his sniper down "why are you here?" Josh asked "the MC needs their prez the club is falling apart more prospects left" Derrick said "then why don't you take the president position" josh took off his jacket and handed it over to Derrick.

Derrick shouted.
"What do you know huh?!? You don't know what it's like to lose a part of you!" Josh shouted back "no I may not have had a child who I lost but that doesn't mean I don't know the feeling" Derrick said and stormed off.
