Killer

Sky

I smile as I pull up in front of Zac's school.

I see him running towards the car and my smile fades as he opens the back door and gets in.

"Hi mommy."he says quietly.

"Baby what happened to your face?!"I ask, turning around.

He had a purplish bruise on his cheek and under eye.

"Um, I fell of the slide."he says, looking down.

"Gummy did someone hit you? Who hit you baby?"I ask, my voice shaking.

He lets out a huff.

"Tommy hit me, mommy."he says softly.

"What?! Why?"I ask.

....

Killer sips a beer as spike cradles the baby in one of his large arms, feeding her.

"I've never seen you be so gentle."Killer shrugs.

"She just takes it out of me man. Shit do I want kids? I think I regret getting sniped."Spike says.

Immediately, both drift and hiss as they cover their genitals.

"The initial sting, from the numbing."Killer says.

All 3 men shutter.

"So glad I never have to do that shit again."Drift says.

"Yeah. Some initiation."Killer says before sipping his beer.

There's a knock on the door, and killer groans as he stands.

He finishes off his beer as he walks to the door. He then opens it to see an angry looking sky.

He looks at both of his empty hands and then back up to his face.

"Where is my baby?"she asks.

"Spikes got her."he says, nodding towards the living room.

"Who the hell is spike?"she asks.

"My brother."he shrugs.

"Did you tell Zac to threaten a bully today?"She asks.

"Maybe. Depends, what happened?"he asks.

She steps aside and Zac shyly looks up at killer with his bruised eye.

"Oh shit. Did you tell him what I said?"Killer says.

"..kinda."Zac says.

"He told the bully if he didn't stop messing with him he would stomp his kneecaps backwards."Sky says.

Killer chuckles.

"Not bad kid. Then what happened."Killer says.

"Then I pushed him. And he punched me and kicked me with his friends."

"Zac. You never hit first."Killer says.

"I just wanted to make sure he left me alone. I wanted him to think I was scary."Zac says, running into killers legs.

Sky was shocked, as Zac was reluctant to hug any man but his father.

"What? Why?"he asks.

"Because you look scary. But you're not. Nobody messes with you."

Killer now had the fire of hate growing for this Tommy kid.

"Tell you what, this kid go to your bus stop?"Killer asks.

Zac nods.

"He waits there with his daddy."

"Oh, even better. Hey neighbor, let me walk him to the stop tomorrow."Killer says, leaning against the door frame.

"Where is my baby?"Sky asks, stubbornly.

Killer chuckles.

....

"SPIKE, DRIFT!"

I watch as the house begins to rumble.

Suddenly, two giant, tattooed men dressed in detailed leather jackets and boots.

One of them was holding Tiana, who was happy and smiling as she grips a fist full of the man's facial hair.

"This is her mom."Killer says.

"Thanks a lot, you made us all want kids."Spike says.

"These are my brothers Spike and Drift."killer says.

I was immediately intimidated, all of these men were huge and muscular, covered in tattoos.

Very obviously bikers.

"Can I please have my baby back."I say.

Spike slowly transfers Tiana over to me, and Drift hands killer the car seat with the diaper bag inside.

I take the baby and look at killer.

"Don't give my son advice like that anymore. And you, tell mommy if something like that happens again okay?"I say, looking down at Zac.

"I will mommy. Can killer still walk me to the bus stop?"Zac asks, looking up at me with hopeful eyes.

I huff, looking back at killer.

"Six o'clock a.m, don't be late or I'll rip your mouth out through your ass."I say, covering Zac's ears.

Killer smiles an attractive smile.

"Noted. I'll be there."he says.

With that I grab the car seat from him and turn away, walking back towards the house with Zac.

....

Killer watches as she walks away and smirks.

"You hitting that?"Spike asks.

Killer shakes his head.

"Would be nice though."he shrugs.
