Chapter 10

Happy's POV

Waking up the next morning to a knock on my dorm room door. Getting out of bed, careful not to wake Lisa, I slide on my jeans and open the door. Tig is standing there dressed for the day. "Lisa up yet?" he asked me. "No. Not yet. When are you wanting to leave?" I asked him. "In about an hour. Time to wake the wife up, brother." He tells me smiling. "Yeah. See you out there." I tell him and walk over to the bed. "Lisa, wake up babe. We need to get started." I tell her, shaking her a little to wake her up. Turning over to her back, the sheet falls down and exposes her bare chest. I couldn't help myself. I started kissing her neck and nipping at her collarbone and feel her arms snake around my neck. Looking her in the eyes, I tell her it's time to shower and carry her into the bathroom to shower together. After a round in the shower, we get dressed and head out to the bar to meet up with Tig.

"Morning Pop." she greets Tig. "Morning Doll Face. Sleep good?" he asked her and looked at me with a smirk. "Best ever." she says with a smirk of her own. "Do I have time for a cup of coffee before we go?" she asked me. "Yeah babe. We got a few." I tell her. She pours both of us a cup of coffee and we get together our game plan. "When we get there, you will not be alone with him. Just find out what's going on and then we will take it from there." Tig tells her. "Okay Pop." is all she says. Finishing our coffee, we head out to the bikes and head to the cabin, where Mel is being held.

Pulling up to the cabin, we see the van here and walking in to see Rat standing outside the bedroom door of the room that Mel is being held in. "He awake?" I asked Rat. "Uh yeah. He started yelling so I gagged him." he tells me and Lisa laughs a little behind me. "He always was a cry baby." she says as we all walk into the bedroom. Taking the gag off of him he starts right away pleading with Lisa to get him out of there. "Lisa, sis, please, get me out of here. Don't let them hurt me." he begged her. "Let them hurt you? Mel, you were planning to kill me just to get the house. But I'm supposed to not let them hurt you?" she says to him with a head held high. I have to say I'm a little proud of her right now. "Mel, you need to tell me what you have gotten yourself into. Who do you owe money to?" she asked him.

Mel hung his head and says, one of the crews in Tacoma. I started using and the dealer was sending his Old Lady to do his delivering for him. We would get a hotel room to do the exchange so that it wouldn't look like a drug deal and after a while, we started hooking up. He had started fronting me coke and I got in pretty good debt but his Old Lady was covering for me. He found out I was hooking up with her and killed her and is after me. If I don't come up with the money that I owe him he will kill me." He explains. Lisa looks at him and we can't seem to read her face. She turns and walks out of the room.

Following her out onto the front porch I see her wiping tears away. "Lisa, are you okay baby?" I asked her. She turns towards me and I pull her into my arms. "I didn't know he was in this kind of trouble. I'm not bailing him out. I won't do it Happy." she tells me. "I you don't want to then we won't. It's going to be okay." I tell her. Walking back into the house, we walk back into the bedroom with Mel and she starts talking. "Mel, I'm not giving you money. You told me a long time ago that I was the one that chose to live my life with the club and I will have to deal with the consequences of those choices. Why is it when you get into trouble, I am supposed to bail you out?" she asked him. Mel tries to play at her emotions, "Lisa, we have already lost Herman, we need each other." he says almost crying. "No, I don't need you. You didn't lose Herm. I did. I lost my brother. Now I have my husband and the only real father figure I ever had. I don't need you." she says getting right in his face. "Pop, gag him please." she says before walking out of the room. "Hap, can you get his phone for me?" she asked. "Sure babe, what are you thinking?" I asked her. "I'll call Juice up here. I want him to look into his phone and find me the number to the dealer. I want to hand him over." she tells me. "Are you sure about this babe?" I asked her. With the calmest voice I have ever heard she says "I'm sure."

An hour later, Juice is at the cabin with his laptop looking at call logs and text messages. "Hey guys, I got something." Juice says. "He has had several incoming calls from this number and there are several texts talking about money." he tells me. "Can you find out a name?" Lisa asked him. "Yeah, Jeremy Lewis." Juice says. "Great, I'll give him a call." Lisa says. Taking Mel's phone and calling the number, Lisa has it on speaker so that we can hear. "It's about time, Mel." Jeremy says. "Hello to you too." Lisa says. "Who's this?" Jeremy says. "Who I am doesn't matter. All that matters is that I have something or rather someone you are looking for." Lisa tells him. "Really. And what might that be?" He asks. "Mel." she states simply. "I will text you a time and place to meet to hand him over." Lisa tells him calmly though her demeanor says different. "And what are you wanting in exchange? No one does anything for free." he says. "All I ask is that whatever you do to him, you make it quick." she says and I can see her emotions are taking over. "I'll be in touch." she says and hangs up. "Are you sure about this babe? You don't have to do this." I say. "Hap, he's called me a biker whore more than once. He has done nothing but treat me like shit my entire life. He's nothing to me." she tells me. "Please, get me out of here." she says. Tig and Rat agree to stay with Mel and I take my wife home to help her get her head together.
