    I make it to the Diner before the family I'm
supposed to meet.  Digs sent me video of the little woman
kicking Chet then Bull.  She had them both doubled over, I
smile thinking of their faces.  They're going to get shit for
months over this.  The door opens and I stand to help. 
Walking over I see the boys have it under control.  I
introduce myself and shake hands with CJ.  Fuck she's a pretty
little thing.  I get us all seated and learn the kids
names.  They crack me up with the marbles.  The boys saw
it on  Home Alone .  They were trying to keep the
bad guys from getting them.  "You did a good job.  The
bad guys didn't even come close to you.  Good thing you had
the marbles and remembered.  You kept yourselves safe." 
They smile proud.  Jeremy looks at me.  It's the first
time he does.  I wink at him and he turns his head.  We
eat chatting about school and soccer.  Taylor wants to play
but all the teams are picked already.  I tell him I can check
if someone needs a sub getting me a smile.  I ask what team
Brantley is on.  He says Pirates.  I call Steve, "VP I
got a boy that needs a team, do you have room for one, he's
Brantley's new brother."  He says he'll take him.  I
smile and tell him he's on the Pirates.  They cheer. 
Cute kids.  They pull for each other.
    CJ is smiling.  "I should have done that, I
never thought about it.  Now I know."
    "I'll write it on the board for you.  Call
VP for boys’ soccer."  Joey says.
    I laugh, "Steve Knight is one of the coaches for
the Pirates.  Call him and he'll get you squared away." 
Joey nods.  "You met another of the coaches, Danny at your
house.  He's the patch guy.  He coaches the Braves. 
If you need to get into different age groups call Keith and he'll
get you in touch with the right Brother."
    "You're all brothers?"  Christian asks, he
doesn't look impressed with me. 
    "Yeah, we're Brothers in the MC.  For some
of us it's the only family we have, we work together to make our
family and community safe.  We take care of our own."  I
tell him with a smile.
    "Little Ben and Jessie say that.  They're
your Little Brothers?"  Brantley says.  I nod.
    CJ tells everyone we need to get to the
hotel.  It's almost time for Joey's treatment.  I sign
for the meal at the register.  Not one complaint in the group,
they surprise me by getting out to the van and into it while Joey
gets the lift down.  It takes forever to roll out then lift
up.  I need to ask someone about fixing it to work a little
faster. 
    I follow them to the hotel and walk into the
lobby with them.  At the desk I tell Rena it’s for the
MC.  She smiles and hands me the cards.  We ride to the
top with the kids chattering the whole way.  They’re
excited.  CJ doesn’t seem fazed by their excitement; she
smiles and answers all their questions laughing with them.  I
walk them to the suite and open the door.  They run
wild.  It is so funny to see them all run in different
directions.  Joey rolls in and maneuvers around the
furniture.  There are two cots set up against one wall,
Brantley and Taylor claim them.  One bedroom has two queen
sized beds the other a king bed and a twin on the side against a
wall.  It looks like Danny got it set up for them.  The
kids check the drawers and yell out that the clothes are even put
away. 
    CJ laughs, “I guess they really mean everything
when they say they’ll take care of everything.” 
    I show her the bin of snacks.  Danny had it
put in her room along with drinks.  "The kitchenette is fully
stocked with oatmeal, cereal and coffee makings.  The Bakery
will deliver breakfast and coffee of your choice if you tell me
what it is.”  She likes coffee regular.  The kids give me
their favorite flavors and I text it into Peg.  “You can eat
at the Diner, The Sub Shop, The Concession Stand, The Pub, The Cone
and The Deli by signing the
