The Harley Davidson Story

Chapter 9

"I know!"-Lee ran into the kitchen right after she woke up. The guys looked at her in confusion.
"You know everything, blue eyes, so I don't know what exactly you're talking about right now"-Logan said.
"I know who's behind the attacks and I know where to find Claire! I was so busy suspecting James that I put aside this theory, which was there all along. I'll fill you in."

She sat up and sipped into the cup of milk which was prepared for her.

"When we found that list, I immediately thought that it was James or Thomas, but since James seemed like the most logical explanation, I forgot about Thomas. But now that I think about it, I see how suspecious his actions were. Firts of all, ever since these attacks started, he randomly left for his so called businness trips. Plus he was very possessive of Claire, which was another red flag"-another sip-"And the reason why you guys could never catch the attackers was that he paid someone in the gang to commit them. He couldn't ruin his reputation, but with a little money, he could do everything he wanted without getting his hands dirty."
"Wow, did you figure this out in your dream? Impressive"-Kendall whistled.
"Yeah, but where do we find Claire?"-James got to the point.
"Thomas is a genius and everything he does has a meaning"-Lee explained-"Where do you think he'd keep his soon-to-be wife?"
"In his house?"-James shrugged-"Because he never wants her to go anywhere again."
"Exactly, plus if people see him taking Claire home, they won't suspect anything."
"Then what are we waiting for?"-Carlos jumped up-"Let's save the girl!"

They got their weapons ready, warmed up the Harleys and they were about to depart, when Logan remembered.

"We should take backup. Just in case."
"Good idea"-Kendall nodded-"I'll be right back, I'll just call some people."
"Okay, but hurry"-James begged, while combing his hair.
"What's the combing for?"-Lee asked in disbelief.
"I'm about to save my girl and I have to look the part"-James answered-"And if anything happens to me, at least my hair will be perfect."
"Don't mind him, Lee, he's always been like this"-Carlos waved his hand-"If Claire didn't exist, he'd marry himself for sure."
"Haha, very funny."
"It's true, though"-Logan laughed-"But that's how we love you, dude."
"Don't get cheesy now, we're not going to die or anything"-James rolled his eyes.
"I don't wanna die!"-Carlos whined.
"Guys, calm down! The only one who's dying today is Thomas, okay? We'll save Claire and end this madness for once and for all"-Lee reassured them.
"We're here"-Kendall yelled to them, accompanied by a bunch of other bikers-"Let's go."

That day people on the streets could see many Harley Davidsons drive away. They didn't know where they were going, but they could feel that something big was about to happen.

"This is it"-Lee took off her helmet, as they stopped in front of Thomas' mansion.
"What's the plan?"-Kendall turned to her.
"Easy: we get in. No matter what it takes."
"Say that again"-Logan grinned.
"Not now, lovebirds!"-James interrupted them, staring at the building-"Let's get this party started."

They barely approached the gate, when a lot of masked guys appeared out of nowhere. Fighting began. They recognised some people from the gang, but they couldn't care less. Thomas Sutherland Jr., the man behind this madness, had to be stopped, even if it meant killing the traitors.

"I'm sorry, boss!"-were a guy's last words, before James shot him in the head.
"You should've said that before betraying me, asshole!"
"He can't hear it, dumbass! You've just killed him"-Logan hit his forehead, then contiued fighting with somebody.
"Hasta la vistaaa!"-Carlos jumped at a tall guy, stabbing him in the neck-"Whoo!"
"The Hispanic blood"-Kendall shook his head-"Lee, dodge!"
"Thanks, that was close"-the girl let out a breath, closing her eyes-"Sorry."

She shot her attacker, before he could do any harm in her. This fight went on for a while, and when every enemy was dead, they broke in.

"Seperate and start searching the rooms!"-James ordered his people, whom he had surprisingly much left.
"I'm coming with you"-Lee joined him.
"Me too"-Kendall stated.
"Good luck!"-Carlos crossed his fingers, then followed Logan.

James, Lee and Kendall started running around the enormous building, opening doors, until they found Claire tied to a chair, unconscious.

"Where the hell is Thomas?"-James hissed-"Whatever, I'll just free Claire. You two be ready."

James easily cut the rope around Claire and began waking her.

"Baby, wake up, we have to get out of here."
"James?"-she could barely open her eyes-"Ugh, my head hurts."
"Did Thomas hit you? I swear to God I'll kill him when I find him"-James grimaced, then took her hand-"Let's go, okay?"

Claire stood up with his help. She was still a bit dizzy, but the drive to escape motivated her. She was about to leave the room with her friends, when they heard a voice from behind.

"Not so fast."
"We're done with you, Thomas. There's no way you can stop us, so we're out of here"-Claire put her hands to her waist.
"You guys go, I'll follow you right away"-James stood still-"Thomas and I still have an unfinished businness."
"Dude, he's not worth it. Don't make things worse, let's just leave"-Kendall warned him.
"He's going to pay for everything he did"-James narrowed his eyes-"Even if I have choke him with my bare hands."
"James"-Claire grabbed his arm-"Now is not the time."
"Come on, darling, don't ruin the fun"-Thomas stepped closer to James-"I've been waiting for so long to get face to face with the infamous Elboy."
"Now you got what you wanted, asshole"-James extended his gun-"Let's settle this for once and for all."
"Claire, come on"-Lee tried pulling her away.
"I want to see Thomas die."
"You need to rest"-Lee reasoned-"Don't make me drag you."
"Hey guys!"-Carlos popped his head in-"Oooh, what's going on here?"
"The final countdown"-Claire enlightened him.

Logan's eyes lit up.

"That's gonna be exciting. Go, James!"
"Has everyone lost their minds?"-Lee raised her voice, but nobody paid attention to her-"Dear Lord."

Thomas also pulled out his gun and aimed it... at Claire. James saw red and he didn't notice it, Kendall did, however, so when the two guys were about to fire the gun, he jumped in front of Claire.

"Holy shit!"-she screamed, as Kendall fell to her feet. James, who was celebrating his succesful attempt at killing Thomas, finally turned around.
"Kendall! I thought the bullet hit the wall!"
"No, Thomas wanted to shoot me, but Kendall saved me"-Claire kneeled down beside her friend-"What the hell were you thinking?!"
"I couldn't let you die"-Kendall told her-"You're my friend and so much more. I've got nothing to lose, but you deserve a happy ending with James, and if I die now, I'll die as a hero."
"You're not gonna die on us, buddy"-James patted his shoulder-"And as much as I appreciate the fact that you saved Claire, you shouldn't have done this."
"What are friends for?"-Kendall chuckled, then groaned-"So this is what it feels like to be shot."
"We need a doctor as soon as possible before you bleed out"-Logan ran his fingers through his hair nervously.
"Good thing I've got my first aid kit with me"-Lee smiled-"It's in my backpack."
"I'll get it for you"-Carlos offered.

With that, Lee started operating. Logan watched her in amusement, while helping her, Carlos brought some snacks for the group (or more likely, he stole from Thomas' kitchen), and James and Claire were sitting on the sofa downstairs, exhausted.

"I'm never gonna let anyone hurt you ever again, okay? It's just you and me from now on, Claire Ross"-James pulled her closer.
"I'm yours, James Musclow"-Claire kissed him, then gently pushed him away-"Have I ever told you that I love you?"
"No, but I've always known that. And I love you, too."

Hey guys! I can't believe there's only one short part left. Writing this story has been amazing, and even though it can't be compared to Biker Girls, I got some positive reactions and lots of views, which I'm very thankful for.
