Socket still bares the guilt from his sister being hurt years ago, he just doesn't seem to be able to get passed it. He wouldn't have joined the Broken Demons if it weren't for what happened, and while Evie now lives a normal life, Socket has yet to...

I wake to the sound of my cell ringing
"What?" I growl, still half asleep
"I need you at the clubhouse now." Killer replies
"Shit, what time is it?" I say as I sit up and scrub my hand down my face, I look to my side to see Natalie asleep naked.
"6am. Move your ass, we need to talk." He says before ending the call. I quietly climb out of bed searching for my clothes that have ended up thrown around all over the room.
"Where you sneaking off to?" Natalie asks
"My prez needs me at the clubhouse, so I gotta go." I say as I button my jeans
"Is everything ok?" She asks sitting up
"Don't know, I'll call you later." I say as I find my shoes and grab my shirt. I walk around the bed to kiss her before I leave.
I park my truck in the lot and make my way to Killers office to find Reaper and Circuit with him
"What's going on?" I ask as I light a cigarette, from the looks on their faces I know it isn't good.
"This lot just got approved for construction." Killer says as he points to a spot on the map on his desk.
"Oh fuck, that's...." Well we're fucked, I wonder if Natalie is up for conjugal visits at the prison.
"Yeah." Killer sighs
"Mind filling me in on what's so bad about it?" Reaper asks looking between me and Killer.
"The four men that took my sister, this is where I buried them." I say tapping the spot on the map with my finger.
"We." Killer corrects, he may have helped me find them, but I killed all four of them, and I would do it again. My only regret is I wish I'd had more time to make them suffer, instead I caved their skulls in with the socket wrench in the trunk of Evie's car.
"Shit." Reaper curses
"Exactly. I know you didn't want the club to know, but I've called church, we need to bring them in on this before the law shows up." Killer says and I nod. I didn't want them to know I let my sister down, how can I protect my brothers when I couldn't protect my sister? But they need to know that cops may come looking for me and try to use it to take down the club.
"I also think Evie needs to know. I'll leave the decision up to you two, but she needs to be prepared." Killer adds
"No, she's happy, we can't drag her back down with this." I shake my head
"But it's better she hears it from her husband or her brother than when the police try to question her." Killer replies
"Fuck." I scrub my hands down my face, this is gonna bring a total shit storm. I don't want to end up in jail for the rest of my life, but if it comes I'll stand proud at killing the men who hurt my sister. I just don't want her to relapse when she's come so far if this brings all the memories back.
"Let's take this to the rest of the club and see what we come up with." Killer finishes.
"Socket?" Killer nods to me as we sit in church, all eyes fall on me and I take a deep breath.
"When I was seventeen my sister worked at the bar on the edge of town, one night I had borrowed her car and she decided to walk home instead of take a cab because it was only thirty minutes to walk home. She got taken by four men, they drove her to the woods, raped her repeatedly and then they started carving her up." I take a long, deep drag of my cigarette, fucking kills me to say what they did to my innocent sister.
"Bunch of hikers interrupted them before they could kill her, so they left her there and ran." Mother fuckers, wish I'd carved them up, scalped the fuckers, maybe cut off a few fingers and toes.
"Cordelia was Evie's nurse and when the police told me they had no leads on who hurt her we took it to Killer." I nod to my president, Killer will always have my respect and loyalty because he saw some stupid seventeen year old asking for help and not only did he help, he took me in and gave me a place in his club.
"I helped Socket track them down, kill them and we buried them in the woods." Killer adds
"Jesus fucking Christ. I hope you made the fuckers deaths slow." Knuckles growls
"He beat all four of them to death with a socket wrench, I offered him a gun, but he chose his weapon." Killer looks to me as I imagine a proud father would. Ice pats me on the back and a few guys nod their respect, but I don't deserve it, if I had protected my sister I wouldn't have had to kill them.
"So why are you telling us this now?" Needles asks
"Because where we buried them in the woods, where they mutilated Sockets sister and Reapers wife, has just been approved for construction." Killer explains. Curses flow through the room,
"Look if the cops try to pin the club on this I'll take the fall, it's all on me, I'll happily serve my time for killing the fucks." I say looking around the room
"Hell no, we all would've done the same, fuck if Killer had told us at the time I know every single one of us would've volunteered to help kill them for what they did to Evie." Bullet says.
"So how do we fix this?" BFG asks
"I have an idea." Circuit says looking up from his laptop
"I'm checking the maps and five miles north east of where they're buried is the property line for Cletus Hutchins." Circuit turns his laptop to show is the map
"Who's Cletus Hutchins?" Reaper asks
"He's a crazy mountain man doomsday prepping off the grid fucker." Knuckles replies
"And he hates the police." Killer adds
"We only have to move the bodies five miles." Circuit says
"Would he go for it?" Reaper asks
"Let's figure this shit out, it's the best we've got so far." Killer says. Church finishes with a plan to try and contact Cletus, but it's easier said than done, he has no way for us to contact him and his property is famously booby trapped.
"Socket." Reaper calls as he hangs back in church
"I don't want to tell Evie yet. You cool with that?" He asks
"I don't want to drag this shit up for her." I agree
"We'll only tell her if the plan doesn't work and it looks like we're going to get caught, and we should tell her together." Reaper adds and I agree.
