Promise To A Brother

Chapter 11

Lisa's POV

That next morning I woke up in Happy's arms. Getting up for the day, I head into the kitchen to start the coffee. As the coffee brews, I head back to the bedroom to get ready for what I have to do today. "Are you sure you want to do this, babe? We can handle it if you want us to." Happy tells me. "No, I need to be the one to do this. He has been shitty to me and Herm. He tried to play me last night talking about how he lost Herm too. I hate him Happy." I tell him and for the first time since this started, I don't feel like crying. We get dressed and have our coffee and breakfast before heading back up to the cabin.

Pulling up the gravel driveway, we walk inside and Pop is standing in the kitchen waiting for us. "Morning Pop." I say. He walks to me and kisses my temple saying "Morning Baby." Happy and Pop greet each other and I say, "Well, let's do this." Walking into the room where Mel is, I see that he is awake. Seeing me, he starts to plead around his gag again and I stop him. "Let me tell you how this will go down. I called Jeremy. I'm handing you off to him. You told me when I chose to go with Herm that we were no longer your family. I have my family. I have people that love me. You. Once I hand you over, you will never be thought of again. I won't think about you. I won't talk about you. I won't mourn you like I did Herm. Herm loved me. You just used his memory to play me. I'm not stupid. But one thing I am? An Old Lady. A wife. A daughter. And a sister to the members of my Old Man's club. You will no longer exist to me." I tell him.

Walking back out to the kitchen, I take the phone that Pop was holding onto and I send a text with a time and place. An old abandoned warehouse that Pop scoped out the night before. "Rat, help me get this piece of shit in the van. We gotta go." Pop tells Rat. Once we are out by the van I grab Rat's arm. "Thank you for helping. I know this isn't your shit but I owe you." I tell him. He just smiles and says "You are always nice to me. No way I wouldn't help." I smile and he gets in the front seat of the van and Pop gets in the passenger side. Happy and I get on his bike and follow the van to the warehouse.

Once there, the guys tie him to one of the poles. I told Jeremy to meet us here at 10pm so that no one would see anything. 10pm on the dot, we are standing outside, me, Happy and Pop when Jeremy pulls up. "Nice to finally put a face to the voice. You have our boy?" he asked me. "Not my boy. He's nothing to me." I say keeping all emotions from my face. "What did old boy do to you?" he asked. "Let's just say there is no love lost between siblings." I tell him. "Siblings? Shit. I have to know now. What'd he do to piss you off?" he asked. "Not anything to worry about but please remember what I asked. Make it quick, whatever you do." I say and he nods his head in agreement.

Walking into the warehouse, we lead Jeremy over to Mel. I asked for a moment to say goodbye to my brother. Walking closer to him, I bend down and whisper in his ear "Guess the biker whore wins." His face goes white when he realizes I am actually leaving him here. "There's no one in this area so feel free to use the facilities." Pop says with a smirk and a pat on the shoulder to Jeremy. A huge smile plays on Jeremy's face as we walk away.

I don't say a word all the way back to our house. Happy doesn't pressure me to talk about it but I head straight in and to the shower. I cry while the water runs down my body until the water gets cold. Getting out, I wrap the towel around me and walk out to the bedroom to get dressed and I see Happy sitting on the edge of the bed. "Come here." he tells me.

Walking over to him, he pulls me to him and asks, "Are you okay?" I just look at him and say "I will be. I promise." I get dressed and climb into bed as my husband climbs in next to me, pulling me closer and we lay there, not saying a word just thinking. Me, about what I did and him, about how to help me through this.
