Doc rolled over on her stomach when the phone rang and almost groaned. Fucking A. She had only been asleep for a few hours. “Yeah,” she said into the receiver with a moan.
“Pres, we have a situation,” Maverick snapped. Mav was her Vice, and was also another pilot. In their crew, there were three of them, Mav, Tats, and her, which was saying a lot since they were all females and they served together for all four tours.
“Yeah, okay, what is it?” Doc yawned and said, “If someone wants a tour, they are gonna need to wait; I can’t fly like this.”
After Doc and the other Sisters got out together. They decided to open their own business because at one time or another each of them had been fired because they refused to be told by a snot-nosed little kid what their job was. It sucked to be in the military and get out only to not be able to deal with working in the real world. No one had integrity anymore, it sucked. People didn’t give a shit; they only wanted to get a paycheck and ignore everything else.
So, they struck out on their own and bought a company from a man named Jimmy Hines, who wanted to retire. It was an aerial tour company that had four Helios, and many other things already set up. The women had trained for months with Jimmy and then finally took over. Doc and her friends had been proud of what they accomplished, and when their company began to flourish, they had finally felt like they were building something. The town they settled in wasn’t huge, but it was within distance of all the major cities in California. It was a nice change from the eastern portion of the country. The only drawback was some of the customers were famous, and thus wanted special treatment. That didn’t work for any of them, they had always treated people the exact same, from the General to a Private. Basically, either the customers sucked it up or they hit the road. The Sisters were in charge, like always.
The women had always loved motorcycles. Marbles and her twin, Jacks, had been raised in a club. The freedom they were raised with appealed to all the women, and the first thing they all bought was a Harley with their first real paychecks. Then they created Satan’s Sisters club; there wasn’t really any doubt of their name, it was who they were. Always had been.
All of them taking their days off and riding through the countryside of Seaside, California. It was in upper Cali, and honestly, the area was nice, but most of their business came out of southern Cali, which made them think about moving, but as of yet, they hadn’t put it to a vote. That was until one of them did a little recon of the area. Doc had already planned on looking here when she woke up a little more.
“Doc, it is not a tour,” Maverick said softly, and Doc sat up, she knew that tone. When her Vice was talking softly, she was trying to soften the blow of bad news. Fuck a duck.
“What?” she asked.
“It’s Dani,” Maverick said, and Doc closed her eyes. Dani was Gypsy’s younger sister, hell, she was all their younger sister. Most of them didn’t have a family left, and if they did, the families were lowlifes they wanted nothing to do with. Dani had enlisted after Gypsy, and she had been a damn good operator for the elite soldiers in all branches of the military.
“Tell me,” Doc said, bracing herself. Dani had been withdrawn after she had gotten out of the military, Gypsy was worried about her, they all were.
“Five days ago, she disappeared completely. Gypsy has been looking everywhere for her since they were supposed to be getting together for dinner. Gypsy was going to have it out with her, tell her she needed to find something to anchor her, a new purpose, and the Sisters were going to help her. None of us got worried, ‘cause you know she has done this a few times, just needing to get her head on straight. But then last night Jack-Jack called,” Maverick said.
“Jack-Jack? Like Ops Warriors’ Jack-Jack?” Doc snapped, and she heard her second hesitate for a moment. “What the fuck did he want? Dani was a mess after he and his buddy dumped her.”
“Yeah, well, uh, I know that, but apparently somehow the Ops are involved in this,” Maverick said.
“Involved as in, they are fucking with her again? ‘Cause if that’s the case, I happen to be close by those fuckers right now, and I will fuck them up,” Doc growled. “I should have known when Shadow said Boony was involved with the Ops that everything would be a fucking piece of cake.”
Maverick sighed, “Yeah, well, they aren’t the ones fucking with her, but they are the reason she is hurt. Gypsy said apparently an enemy of the Ops found out that Dani was their operator. From what we can figure out, she was taken from her apartment sometime in the middle of the night on Friday. She was dumped in front of the Ops compound on Tuesday in San Diego. According to them, Dani got the shit kicked out of her and hasn’t woken up yet. It’s been two days. Like I said, not sure about the who’s and why’s, but we are on our bikes, and we’ll be there in eight hours.”
Doc stood up and growled into the phone, “I am on my way to the compound now.”
She hung up the phone and grabbed her jeans, tank top, and boots. Someone was pounding on the door just as she finished tying her laces. She yelled loudly, “Hang on.” Doc stood and grabbed her leather jacket and opened the door. Marbles and Shadow were standing there looking pissed as shit.
“I got us bikes,” Marbles growled.
“Not fucking around here, Doc, if Boony set us up, I will take his ass out,” Shadow said, and Doc nodded and stepped out onto the landing.
“I will be right behind you,” Doc said grimly, and the three moved to the Harleys that were all gleaming black. Once they were on the bikes, Doc turned to them and nodded, “Let’s go kick some ass.”
They had just pulled back into the compound, and Fish was laughing at the Lady Riders singing along with the radio. Honest to God, he missed this shit. Finally, he was back where he belonged, with his blood family, and his club family.
“OHHHHHH YOU GONNA TAKE ME HOME TONIGHT,” Harmony sang loudly and really off key, Fish thought and shook his head when the others joined in as well. Damn it all to hell, he wasn’t going to be the one to tell his daughter her singing was fucking scary. Hell, they could make a tape for Halloween and scare the shit out of people, it sounded a bit more like screeching than singing. The others were close to being that bad too. He needed a shot of whisky about now, it may dull the pain in his ears.
He pulled the large car right next to the other one Trey was driving; the Prospect had been assigned to help him get the women to and from the 7-11. Damn, and if watching Trey and Jas dance around wasn’t entertaining enough, someone should video the pregnant women in a store full of snacks to see how they chose to fill their cravings, it was totally amusing. If the poor cashier hadn’t run to the back and brought out another box of Rolos, there could have been a riot. They were sugared up and ready to roll, he thought, shaking his head as he turned off the car. The windows were down, and the Lady Riders in the other car leaned out their window as well and sang the song together. Damn, they seriously sucked, he thought and got out of the car.
Fish looked over the hood at Trey who was grimacing and looked like he was ready to find a bunch of ear plugs and walked away. He grinned when he saw Jas flip him off behind his back. That girl needed a keeper, he really was going to need to talk to Cajun and Slider about her. Fish frowned and turned when he heard the roar of motorcycles behind them. The other Prospects who were guarding the women had already pulled in. He saw the three bikes pulling up to the gate as he moved to stand in front of the back door that had just opened and Shay was trying to get out.
“Stay there,” Fish growled to the woman who was trying to pull herself out.
“Dammit, Shay,” he heard Freedom yell from in the car. “I am trying to push your pregnant ass out of the car.”
Fish glared over his shoulder and said, “I said stay there.”
“Yeah, yeah, old man, don’t get your panties in a wad,” Shay grumbled and leaned back. “Sorry, Free, the powers that be say I have to stay here.”
Fish watched as the three riders swung off their bikes; two women and one man, he squinted a little, not knowing any of them. Moving, he walked a few steps out and stared at the woman who was in the front. Goddamn, she was sexy as hell. He stared at her long black hair and tight trim body. She wasn’t old, but she wasn’t young either.
When the woman he was staring at suddenly yelled loudly at the Prospect who was shaking his head, Fish shook his head and went to step forward. But Shay and Harmony were faster, and both were out of the vehicles and moving with intent to the gate. Apparently, when shit was going down, the pregnant women didn’t need help out of the car, their anger took care of that. However, they were a sight to see when they were pissed, add in being pregnant. Fucking priceless.
“Dammit, Harmony,” he growled.
“What in the fuck is going on here?” Shady snapped as they neared the gate. Both women turned and stared at the pregnant woman who was stomping toward them wearing a black tank top that had the Lady Riders patch on it.
Harmony raised her hand when the woman behind the one who looked like the leader opened her mouth, and said, “Button it, blondie, Shay wasn’t talking to you, she was talking to the other bitch here.”
The large breasted woman stepped forward and pointed at Harmony, “You did not just call Doc a bitch?”
Harmony crossed her arms over her chest and smiled. “Uh yeah, pretty sure I did if that is the bitch’s name, bitch.”
Fish walked up shaking his head and said, “Harmony, get your ass back into the clubhouse. You too, Shay, Creed and Fork will come and deal with this.”
The dark-haired woman that the blonde called Doc narrowed her eyes at him and pulled her friend back and stepped up. “Listen, I don’t give a shit what the fuck you want to call me since I don’t particularly care about your opinion. But I do give a shit you have my sister in there. So, open your fucking gates and let me take her and I will forget what a raging cunt you’re acting like.”
Harmony jerked her head back, and Shady stepped in front of her friend. “Be very careful who you call a cunt,” she said in a low, dangerous voice. Doc stared at Shay and then said just as low and just as deadly.
“Like I said, I don’t particularly care what you cunts say about me. You have one of my sisters, and you seriously do not want to piss me the fuck off, it would be bad. ‘Cause I don’t give a shit if you are waddling away, I will kick your ass from here to hell. Not fucking around with you, open the goddamn gate, NOW!”
Fish growled and tried to pull Harmony and Shady behind him as he stepped up, but both women were straining to get to the woman. “Trey, open this fucking gate. I am not waddling anywhere, cunt,” Harmony snapped, and Fish shook his head.
“Trey, do not listen to them, keep that fucking gate closed.”
Shay looked over her shoulder at Fish and said, “Seriously? Do you not think I can kick this bitch’s ass even though I am pregnant? I mean, come on, it would be easy.”
“Please,” the blonde yelled. “Your fat ass wouldn’t land a punch.”
Shay turned back quickly, and she snapped, “Did you just say I had a fat ass?”
“Fuck yeah I did,” the blonde said. “Now, be a good little whore and get the men out here, we need our sister back, like now.”
The man stepped up to Trey and said, “Dude, can you get Boony out here, he will know what the hell is going on. ‘Cause if you don’t, these women will tear apart this club until there is nothing left. They are serious, and I gotta tell you, so am I.”
Harmony pulled her head back and said, “Boony? What the fuck does he have to do with this? Are you guys his drug dealer? ‘Cause I can tell you to get the fuck out of here, Boony has a family now; he doesn’t do that shit.”
Shadow smiled and shook his head. “I am not a dealer, I grow my own thanks, and these are not junkies either, this is Doc, she is the leader of the Satan’s Sisters, and Marbles is an Enforcer. My name is Shadow, and I am what they call a mascot. Now, you have Dani, who is Gypsy’s sister, and let me tell you. These two are tame compared to Gypsy, especially when it comes to Dani. I am just saying, it would go much better if you just call Boony, have him come out and let us get to Dani and take her off your hands.”
Fish wanted to laugh out loud, damn, this was Doc? He heard about her, hell, he heard about all of them. His contacts on more than one occasion had said if there was a problem that needed to be taken care of, the Satan’s Sisters was who they would call. He knew their unit was specialized, and he also knew from the reports he read, they were deadly. He stared at the leader and then at Shay, fuck, it would be an even battle if Shay wasn’t pregnant. Hell, this was so not going to go well.
Trey looked between the two groups and then muttered under his breath while he pulled out a cellphone, “I really need to talk to Fling, the Furies’ women know their place. I need to be a Prospect in his club, it’s less dangerous,” they heard and Shadow snorted.
“Not sure you know those women at all, man, I just met them, and pretty sure they would give these women a run for their money.”
Trey rolled his eyes and then turned around, waiting for Creed to answer. Fish stepped forward and Doc’s eyes locked with his, and he could have sworn he saw a flash of appreciation. Damn, it had been a long time since he had seen that, well, seen that and returned the appreciation. She was a fine-looking woman, he thought as he grinned and said, “It may be a good idea for you ladies to step back a little.”
Doc smiled and winked at him. “Don’t worry about us, sweetheart; we will be just fine.” Fuck, his cock responded to her voice. He really needed to get laid and soon, this was embarrassing.
Harmony turned and looked at her father, and then back to the woman who was staring at him like she wanted to play ‘hide the salami’ with her father. Oh, hell no, she thought and then glared at the woman.
“Satan’s Sisters? Did you come up with that name while you were dancing under the full moon drenched in blood?”
Doc chuckled and stared at her and said, “Nah, it came from the people who pissed us off. Apparently, they are a little intimidated. After our first mission, the asshole we captured told everyone we were the spawn of the devil. Well, since we were all women, the name Satan’s Sisters kinda stuck.”
Shady snorted stared at the blonde chick they called Marbles. “Why, did you flash those boobs at them? They are big enough to scare the shit out of anyone, probably afraid to be smothered.”
“Hell no, you didn’t just say that?” Marbles yelled and snapped her fingers to Shadow and said, “Get this fucking gate open, hack into their shit and get it open, I am totally kicking some pregnant ass.”
Fish groaned and said, “Shay, Harmony, come on, take a step back and let me deal with this.”
Harmony shook her head. “Nope, Dad, I am so not leaving you alone with this viper, I am pretty sure she’s rabid. I don’t like the way she is looking at you, kinda like she would suck out your soul given the chance, that is fucking creepy. She should be put down for the safety of your grandchild. If she sucks your soul it could cause harm to your grandchild when you hold it,” she said and reached into her purse. Fish was faster though, and he grabbed his daughter's gun.
“Not having a shootout tonight, darlin’,” he said.
Harmony made a noise of protest but said, “Fine, I can take this bitch with my bare hands, don’t worry.”
Fish looked up at the sky, but then he heard Doc say, “Listen, this is fun and shit, listening to your attempt to sound crazier than us, but let me clue you in. Dani is our sister, and it doesn’t matter what the fuck you all say, she is coming with us. Unless you want to find out exactly how fucking crazy we are, you will stand aside.”
Boony yelled loudly behind them. “SHAADOWWW, dude, it has been too long, man. What the fuck are you doing here?”
Shadow grinned and shrugged. “Bon-man, we just found out about Dani, we need to get her out of here.”
“Aww, man, I thought we could light one of my new blends, man, it is fabulous, bro, open,” Boony said and motioned for Trey to open the gate.
The young Prospect shook his head and said, “Only Creed can order the gates unlocked.”
Boony looked around the group and said, “Whoa, some intense vibes are going on here, what is up?”
Doc, who was staring Shady down, didn’t move her eyes, but she said, “We want Dani, now.”
Creed and Fork walked out of the clubhouse when Fish felt, rather than saw, Shady move closer to the gate. Harmony stepped behind her friend, and Shady whispered, “I don’t give a fuck who you came for; you are not getting them. Now get your ass on your bike and peddle it back to wherever you came from. When this chick wakes up, she has a lot to answer for so we will call you when we are done with her.”
Doc frowned and snapped, “Fuck you, I am sick of this shit,” then stepped back and motioned with her head to Marbles who laughed and then they stood as the sexy blonde pulled something out of the back of her pocket and then pushed a few buttons. The gate slowly began to open. The Ops and Lady Riders were shocked that somehow the blonde had used what appeared to be her phone to open their gate.
Shadow shook his head at Boony and said, “Man, told you, these chicks are like superheroes, you do not fuck with the Women of Steel.”
“Oh, hell no,” Shady muttered and pushed Harmony back a few steps, and she moved toward the opening. Doc stepped forward as well, ready to meet the woman who was hell bent on starting shit with her.
“Fuck,” Fish yelled, and he moved to catch the President of the Lady Riders, while Trey looked around helplessly. Shadow and Boony both stepped back and stared with their mouths open, and thank the good Lord, Fish thought, saw Creed and Fork, followed by Cajun and Slider, then Poke and Easy, run by them, placing themselves between Shay and the other women who were both staring intently at the very pregnant woman. Jas came running behind them, which told Fish who went to get the men.
“Let me go!” Shady snapped and pushed against Creed’s back. And Cajun reached up and grabbed Shay’s shirt and pulled her back.
“Whoa there, mama,” he said smoothly and Slider moved to her front, frowning down at her.
“Everyone needs to calm the fuck down,” Fork snapped and looked over his shoulder at Harmony and said, “including you, do not make me lock you in the house again.”
Fish pulled his daughter back, and then grabbed Free by the back of her tank and tugged her backward as well. “Shit, I need a fucking drink after this,” he muttered and tried to hold on to the two very pissed off pregnant women as they tried to get around Creed and Fork to the other women Shadow was already holding back with Boony’s help.
“Did you just bite me?” Trey yelled loudly to Marbles who smirked and then blew him a kiss.
“That’s it,” Creed yelled loudly, and everyone froze. “Get yourselves under control, dammit. What the fuck is wrong with you? Settle down and get inside. Trey, close the gate.” The Ops Warriors President turned and looked at Fish. “Get them back into the clubhouse and tell Kink to set them up, we are all going to need a fucking drink.”
