Her Shameful Flaws

CHAPTER 2: About Her

Maxine's POV:

Some people know me as max and others, well they don't know me at all.

They may think they know me, but in reality they just know of me.

Most of the time it's hear say and or others makeup their own assumptions.

The more they think they know the less they actually do.

There's really only three things people need to know about me.

#1 I'm not a push over so don't piss me off.

#2 I don't like "rules".

And #3 last but not least don't mess with my family or friends. They mean everything to me.

Which means I'd kill anyone over them and I literally mean kill.

A little about me is that I'm part of a biker "club" known as the Crows.

We are a pretty decent group of individuals but the Lamont Police Department seems to believe otherwise.

They think we are some type of gang, hence the quotes on club.

And being that the LPD makes us the bad guys, our rep in this little town of Lamont isn't so good.

The LPD thinks we are involved in illegal activities and that we're the ones to blame for the murders on the edge of town.

But in actuality there are two other clubs on the opposite sides of each border. So I know for a fact that we aren't the only ones racking up bodies.

Also we only do things we feel are right and so far this summer we haven't had any problems to make that right decision to kill anyone.

But that doesn't really matter because Lamont PD has been after me since I moved here when I was 15.

That's when I joined the Crows full time and also when LPD got my records.

They've been trying to prove I'm a suspect in these "illegal activities" they claim my club dabbles in for about 3yrs now.

Funny thing is they can never really pin anything on us.

School usually takes up most of my time and everyone else works.

Basically we're innocent until proven otherwise.

Being that there are only 10 members of the club in Lamont, it's still a task to watch all of us at once.

Other branches of Crows usually have 15 or more members. Which means Lamont got lucky we are the smallest branch.

But being the smallest we still suffice and hold our own.

Thursday 2:02 am...

"Hey you okay Max?"

I hadn't realized the time. It was already 2 in the morning and I've been in this same spot since 10pm.

Guess I just lost track of time after work.

"Yeah bud, sorry I was just thinking. Go back to bed, I'll be up in a bit..."

He walks in the kitchen and I hear him downing a glass of water.

When he comes back I pointed to the mess of papers on the table. "Just gotta clean up this mess okay."

He doesn't say anything and goes back upstairs. It's around 2:30am when I head up the stairs after cleaning up.

Today had felt like one of the longest days ever, so as soon as my body touched the bed I fell asleep.
