The Rescuer's MC Bk 4

Chapter 9 - Making plans

Just as he said he would, Prez showed up on the Allen's doorstep about half an hour after dinner. Thor answered the door and let him in and Thor asked "Didn't Amanda come with you?"

"No, she and the other ole's ladies are planning a going away party for Taylor as well as planning for Thanksgiving. From what I've heard about so far, the grocery bill is going to be astronomical but there's going to be some great food too!" Prez told him as they walked down to the living room where Dr. Allen and Leon were sitting with Natalie and Tasha and a minute later, Mrs. Allen and the kids joined them.

"So, I understand that you wanted to talk to us?" Dr. Allen asked after greeting Prez and everyone was comfortable.

"Yes, sir. After what happened at the club house last night, I'm very worried about Tasha living there. I know Prez and the brothers of the MC would do everything in their power to keep her safe but what if Ace hadn't been on the roof and spotted that man about to shoot us?

You've been great to offer to let Tasha stay here and I really do appreciate it . We understand and respect that you will not allow us to stay together in my room but since you don't have enough rooms to accommodate us all, it means Nat will have to give up her room. Nat is worried about leaving us unprotected.

She is also in a new relationship with Thor so it's unfair for all of us to expect her to put her life with him on hold and sacrifice their happiness to protect us.

Even if she did, there are too many of us for her to be able to cover all of us at the same time, especially if Tasha and I were to go back to Boston to go to college and once Joey and Kelly start school. She just can't be everywhere at once and we can't be expected to be cooped up in this house 24/7.

I spoke to Prez this morning regarding a short term solution to our problems and he has agreed to let us hire out some of the men from the MC to help Natalie guard all of us. Prez can you please explain how it will work best?" Leon said.

"Sure. Dr. and Mrs. Allen, with advance warning, I can have at least one man accompany anyone wishing to leave the house as a guard. I can also have at least two men here overnight, every night while you sleep, keeping watch over you so that you will be safe." Prez said.

"But I already pay for a home security system that has always worked for us in the past. Won't that be enough from now on?" Dr. Allen asked.

"I would like the chance to prove to you that it's not. Dr. Allen, will you please go and set the alarm the same as you would any night before going to bed?" Prez said. "Then Natalie and Thor are going to prove to you that you need a guard on property."

Natalie and Thor collected their coats and left the house and then Dr. Allen set the alarm as if he were going to go up to bed. Before Dr. Allen could even sit back down in his recliner, Thor was walking in from the kitchen while Natalie came down the stairs.

"What? How did you do that?" Dr. Allen asked in a shocked voice.

"I'm sorry to tell you but it was not only because of their training but because of me." Tasha said. "Your over the counter "security system" is no match for a professional burglar or someone who knows about electronics. Actually the window and door contacts that should have gone off when they broke the seals could easily be defeated by a matchbook cover, a couple of pieces of shiny foil and some tape."

"I came in through Kelly's bedroom window via the trellis you have up against the wall outside of almost every bedroom. I know the flowers look really pretty when they are in full bloom but it's a major security issue.

If I was a professional kidnapper, I could have grabbed her and been long gone while you were sitting down here watching TV and you would have never known until you went to check on her before you went to bed." Natalie told them.
