"Forgiveness"
Hearing from Nova and my mom that Eleanor is staying over just makes everything inside me settle. Nova not only accepts me and my club but my family too.
I'm at the club today because I need to tell everyone what I found out at the garage. They need to know that Ryder took care of Mark and he's not to blame.
Walking out of my office I see all of my brothers in the bar room. A few of them are drinking and playing pool. "Club meeting in ten minutes." I shout.
Ryder walks up to me. "Hey Prez." His hand scratches the back of his head. "How do you think today is going to go? You think they'll blame me?"
I can tell this has been stressing him out. He's been quiet all week. I'm not sure if it's because of what he did to Mark or what Mark did. Hell maybe it's both.
"What I think is that they will understand what happened. If they trust in my club they will trust in my brother as well." I pull him in for a hug and slap his back. "We'll handle this together."
He hugs me back and gives me a small smile. I head into my office and grab the flash drive with the video on it from the day Mark stole and from the day in the lunchroom we called him out.
I highly doubt anyone will say anything but just in case we've got all ends covered. I walk out and run right into a prospect. It's Axel. "Sorry Prez." He steps out of my way and I head into church.
All my brothers start to filter in. Once the last man is in I shut and lock the door. We put all our phones in a basket by the door to be respectful of others.
"So a lot has happened since last week. I've kept it quiet other than the brothers who were involved. I wanted to talk to everyone at once so we're all on the same page." That gets everyone to sit straight up.
"More problems with the Serpents?" Gears ask with hatred in his eyes. I shake my head no.
"No, at least not yet. Ya'll know I've had someone stealing from me and this week I had a customer come in with a broken down car that I fixed myself." I sit down at my desk and fold my arms.
"Well, after I looked into the car I noticed the battery wasn't the one I originally used. It was something cheap and used. So of course I went to check the dates and recordings." I notice Ryder shift in his seat.
"Mark one of our men. Was caught switching the car parts later that morning." Everyone stops and looks at Ryder. He sets his head down in shame.
"What we are not going to do is blame our brother for something that he had no part of." With that everyone seems to shift back into place.
"Ryder had no part of this." I yell out so they all understand. "I had him take care of Mark. Tiny helped him so he had back up and proof that it was done."
