shoot me.”
    Pres laughs and I relax. “You’re probably right. Take your three and I’ll look for more. We got some Brothers coming up but I’m sending two on to military.”
    Danny throws him chin and I smile. “I’m fuckin’’ beat but I’m meeting someone. Later Brothers.” He walks away like he owns the place.
    “Good Brother,” Pres says watching him. I just nod. He is. I’ve been teaching him everything I can think of. I hope it sticks. “Trading’s done for us. Next is the drugs. We got too many liking them right now. It isn’t time but it will happen.”
    “Brothers’ takes going to show no trading money.” I lean toward him so I’m not overheard.
    He laughs. “What I said was true. They got them hooked and useless. Don’t get shit for them like that. We need clean business. Human trafficking will be big but not with us. Brothers are too far into the drugs for that. Almost a hundred members and half are hooked. You got what twenty clean running guns and drugs? Need more clean. Fuckin’’ drugs.”
    The best part about sitting with Pres is I don’t have to answer. He’s smart and knows how I think. He don’t need my answers. We watch Danny hightail it out clean and dressed.
    “His old lady gets him out Brother. You need to let him go.”
    My eyes snap to his. What? “Let him go? You don’t walk.”
    “He’s got reason and a boy of his own coming up. He needs to raise that boy away from here.”
    I just got my fuckin’’ son back and I lose him so he can raise my grandson. Fuckin’’ bullshit’s what this is. “I see my boy again, I see my grandson?”
    He smiles. “Yeah Brother you get to see him.”
    “You good here? I got shit to write before he goes.”
    He laughs. “Go Brother. I’m good.”

Chapter Seven
One year later
    “I’m out Axe. Got shit to do.”
    I look at him. We just pulled in the yard. “You good?”
    He nods but isn’t looking at me. “Old lady shit. I’ll catch you tomorrow. I need to find someone to watch my boy but I’ll be here.”
    I throw him chin but I want to follow him home and see my grandson again. I watch him ride out and know my time is running out. Petey walks in with me and we get a beer. “He’s a good kid. Old lady’s a fuckin’’ bitch but he stays with her. Fuckin’’ doctor told him hormone shit sent her crazy.”
    Fuck. He didn’t tell me. I walk to the office and call Darlene. She does a daycare. Maybe she’d take Rich for him. When she agrees I call him with her number. He’s fuckin’’ happy and I can hear his smile. I get an invite to dinner and take it. I’ll see my grandson tomorrow.
    When I get back to Petey, JJ is standing by him. They’re debating drugs and the cost of it in society. I laugh. Petey will never win.
    I slap JJ’s shoulder. He’s got a bruise on his chin. “You fighting in college Brother?”
    He waves it away. “Pussy thought I was easy for some cash.”
    “Glad he only thought it.”
    Petey laughs. “Pussy’s in the hospital. Was on the news. Bikers at the college.”
    JJ looks embarrassed. “He won’t fuck with me again.”
    I laugh and slap his back. “Sounds like no one will. Good fuckin’’ job Brother. You get blowback let me know.”
    He smiles bobbing his head. He’s a good kid. I’m glad he’ll be getting us out of the drugs. Pres comes out and JJ goes right to him. I think he’s giving him all I’ve been giving Danny.
    Petey talks about needing another on Transport. He doesn’t trust Hammer on the runs. He’s talking shit and Brothers are listening. Fuckin’’ great.
    I’m not sending Danny. I look around. “Tiny!” He lumbers over. The kid’s a fuckin’’ giant. “You still fuckin’’ growing Brother?”
    He laughs. “I don’t know Axe. I think I’m the same.” I think he really doesn’t know but he looks bigger. Petey laughs.
    “You still with Trunk?”
    His body slumps down. “Yeah but we ain’t doing anything. I just Prospect for him.”
    I
