Devil Dog MC #6 When a Man Loves a Man

Stranded

Rocky

     I pulled up to the shop and unhooked the guy's car.  I laughed when I thought about the pretty little girl who ran over to sit in my lap.  I mean not many little kids react that way.  They see my tattoos and biker vest as a danger.  I have some experience with kids now that so many of my brothers have kids.  I am getting older and feeling the need to settle down too.  I have had several women but none that make me want to change.  I have my fun and they understand that's all it is.  If I am honest with myself watching Tank change really made me take a look at myself.  I have never seen that man happier.  I walked into the shop and told Hotshot what the guy said about his car.  Hotshot said he would look at it first thing in the morning.  I told him it was the guy with the little girl we saw in the restaurant.  I walked over to grab a beer out of the fridge.  I watch as Hotshot finishes up with the truck he is working on.  Cherry walks in with all her bunch.  They have four kids now and I am not sure how they do it.  Cherry tells Hotshot that he needed to not charge the guy too much to fix his car that she felt like he was on hard times.  I think about the guy and I did notice he had dark circles under his eyes.  I wonder where his woman is?  That damn little girl was adorable though.  I play with the kids for a few minutes while they continue their conversation.  I hear them arguing some but I know Cherry will win this argument.  I just shake my head and laugh at Hotshot.  He is pussy whipped.  I finished out my day with another call out.  I can not wait until tonight.  I plan on getting drunk and laid.  

     I headed to my room and grabbed a quick shower before going to the bar.  I know everyone has settled down and only a few of us are single but until someone knocks my socks off I will stay single.  I checked with a couple of the guys to see if they were going tonight then jumped on my bike.  As I rode to the bar I thought about the guy with the little girl.  I think there is a story there and I wonder what it is.  I see the bar is hopping tonight so should be fun.  I get inside and see some of the brothers with their wives are here.  It must be date night because they very seldom go out like this now.  I walked over to say hello to them all.  Juniper asked me what I thought about the guy with the little girl today but honestly I have no idea.  There is something there I think but we all know that sometimes things are not what they seem.  I walked over to the bar to order a beer.  There was a hot little brunette that was giving me the come hither look.  I asked her if I could buy her a drink and she of course said yes.  We shared several drinks and danced together for the good part of the night.  I asked her if she would like to go home with me for the night.  She followed me back to the clubhouse.  Once in my room we got busy.  She had a nice body and we had fun.  She ended up leaving around midnight.  I fell asleep feeling tired.  You ever just get tired for no reason.  I used to have sex and feel relief but now I just do it with no relief it seems.  I fell asleep after setting my alarm.

     I woke this morning and got Bea dressed.  I plan on walking through town just to look around.  After being in the car and the hotel room we both have cabin fever.  I walked out and there was a cool breeze.  I need to make sure to find Bea some warmer clothes.  She didn't have a lot of clothes to bring with her to begin with.  We walked down to the little shopping area and I was happy to see they have a thrift store.  I will have to come back once they are open.  I can wash whatever I find while we are stuck here.  I remember seeing a laundry mat near the hotel.  We had walked a good ways when I realized we were back at the mom and pop diner.  Bea looks up and screams "Pannycakes Unc Tim."  I can't help but laugh at this girl.  She would eat pancakes anytime of the day.  I noticed several motorcycles outside again.  I guess I will get my fill of beautiful men this morning.  We walked inside and Bea started waving at someone.  I looked over to see about six bikers waving back at my little niece.  We got a booth next to them that was open.  Bea smiled at them and was just jabbering about something.  Bless her heart she doesn't say many words so I think she has some developmental delays.  I know she didn't have much help at home.  I tried when I was around but I have been working so much trying to come up with the money to get us all out of there.  I have failed Ana though.  She continued to try and talk to the bikers next to us.  They talked right back as if they understood every word she said.  Our food was delivered and that gave them a break from a very excited toddler.  Bea looked up at me with a sticky face and said "Unc Tim, I done."  I need to take her to wash her face.  I went to pick her up but froze when I saw a couple of cops walk in.  They walked over and spoke to the bikers but gave me a look while they did it.  I felt uneasy.  I laid down money and hightailed it out of there.  I went to wash her face back in the room.  Once I saw the hotel come in view my heart rate finally slowed down.  Please don't find us. 

     I got back to the room and washed Bea up.  I then went to the thrift store to see what we could find for her.  I went to the kid section and found a cute little coat.  I found two pair of leggings that were kind of thick plus some long sleeve shirts.  I was lucky enough to find one set of overalls which would work for a while even if she grew.  I made my way up toward the front to pay.  I saw Juniper talking to the girl at the register.  Juniper saw me and walked over to speak.  Juniper asked "Hey did you find everything you need?  I can give you a ride to another store if not."  I thanked her but told her I found Bea a couple of outfits.  She explained that she was donating some of the kids clothes.  We spoke for a few minutes then she told the girl bye.  I went to pay but the girl told me that Juniper had already paid for it.  I don't even know this woman.  I was touched by her generosity.  I stopped by a little store to buy some laundry detergent then we went to wash her new clothes.  We washed and dried the clothes then went back toward our room.  I unlocked the door and got Bea settled.  My phone rang and I answered hoping it was the mechanic with good news about my car.  It was the mechanic but it wasn't good news.  He asked if I could come by since I don't have the money to fix my car.  You know what hope is?  It's exhausting.  I get Bea ready to go again but as we walked out I was met by Cherry and Juniper.  They smiled and offered to give us a ride to the shop.  I accepted because I am feeling so down right now with the mess I am in.

     I listen to Hotshot explain about the car to the guy.  Hell it would be cheaper for him to buy a new car.  We discussed some shop business while he waited on the guy to come in.  I saw Cherry's vehicle pull up and saw the guy get out.  He looked like he was walking to his death.  He walked in and spoke to all of us.  Hotshot told him to come with him to the office.  I followed just for shits and giggles.  I listened while Hotshot told him about his car and how much the parts plus labor would run him.  He dropped his head and sighed.  I heard him say there was no way he could come up with that.  Hotshot listened to him then Hotshot's phone rang.  He excused himself and walked out of the office.  I could hear some of his conversation and I knew he was talking to Cherry.  I decided to start a conversation with the guy so that we could avoid the argument Hotshot was having with Cherry.  I asked "What was your name again?"  He looked up and gave a half smile before saying "My name is Tim.  I believe you are called Rocky?"  I smiled back and said "Yep.  So what brings you to this part of the world?"  He looked up quickly and started stuttering "AAhhh I ju just decided to travel for a while."  Okay he is definitely hiding something.  I wonder if he is in trouble?  Surely he didn't kidnap that kid.  I might need to do some research about any Amber alerts.  Hotshot came back in and started the conversation back up.  I decided to leave the office because I wanted to check and make sure that he hasn't kidnapped the little girl.  She seems happy with him but you never know nowadays.  

     I got my laptop and went to sit in the truck while I looked at any missing child reports.  I saw his tag was from California so I checked that state first.  I didn't see anything about a girl that looked like Bea missing though.  I feel better knowing that but I saw the way his eyes got wide when he saw the two cops come to our table to talk to us at breakfast.  He is running from something I have no doubt.  I shut my computer down and watch as he walks out of the office heading to Cherry's SUV.  I hopped out of the truck and walked over to Hotshot.   We watched them leave then I asked him what Tim was going to do?  He explained that Cherry convinced him to give the guy a job to help pay for repairs.  Apparently Cherry and Juniper have decided to help him find a place to stay while he works.  Cherry and Juniper both are going to take turns keeping Bea for him.  I told Hotshot "Look I think that dude is running from something.  I don't know what it is but something.  Did you see how he reacted this morning when the cops showed up?"  Hotshot said "Yea I did but he seems like a good guy.  We will keep a close eye on him and maybe get a background check on him."  That's a good idea.  I need to go talk to our IT guy to see what he can find.  I head back to the clubhouse so we can get the background going.  I need to make sure he is safe to be around Cherry and Juniper.
