Stronger Than the Bikers의 모든 챕터: 챕터 21 - 챕터 30

POV PetalI looked over at my brother nervously. He glanced up and caught my eyes and then sent me a small smile."Don't worry, sis. I'll keep you safe." he vowed."So will I." Jaden muttered in my ear as he tightened his arms around my waist and stood even closer to my back.I looked around the old sawmill. Nat was standing with Decker behind her, mirroring the way Jaden and I were posed. Dom was sitting on a nearby pallet with Margo in between his legs. Joker and Blade were pacing together while Sunny, Thrash and Thor whispered together near the large door we were all watching. Sunny looked up when she heard Joker and Jaden. "We all will." she assured me with a smile.I scoffed, "I'm not worried about me." I looked first at Nat and then at Margo."You two should have stayed back." I stated not for the first time.Nat chuckled and shook her head but Margo sent me a pissed off look."Why should we stay and you go? That makes no sense. We're a team. A family. We all work together. We

POV AceI smirked as I watched my love look around uncomfortably. I knew that she didn't like this situation. She didn't like being in charge and she really didn't like being the only one speaking but this was the way it had to be. I had to see how she would approach this. I knew that this plan had come from her. How could it not? She didn't want to harm us and this was a perfect way to stop that. Not that I didn't believe her and Nat about the Ravens. Once they revealed that, everything fell into place. How we couldn't get ahead for so long. How everything was easier once Nat was gone. How the Ravens always seemed on edge around us. How Nat's father acted around us sometimes. I stared at Petal. Margo was right, in a way, they helped us. I'm sure that wasn't their intention at the time but if they had never taken Nat, we wouldn't be as strong as were now."Thom or as you know him, Rancid, sent Nat to Shooter under the instructions to send him any information about the way the Lost Bo

POV Petal/AthenaI shook my head as we walked in and glanced around the room. I spotted Marge, Dom, Decker and Nat in a corner and headed that way with my brothers, Jaden and Ace following me yet again. I skirted around a large group but an arm appeared and caught me around my waist. I tensed for a moment before I realized that Spike had a hold of me. I hadn't had a chance to speak with him at the shop much so I grinned up at him"Spike!" "Petal!" he returned.His smile melted as he looked behind me briefly but then came back softly when he refocused on my face."How did it go?" he asked as I hugged him back.I shrugged as I leaned away to look at him. He loosened his grip on me but still kept his arms around me."Good. Warehouse went boom. No casualties or injuries. No cops or witnesses." I replied with a grin."You?"He nodded, "Same." I nodded toward the argument that was happening close by. "What's happening here?"He sighed and rolled his eyes as he shook his head. "Same old, s

POV Petal/ AthenaI sighed as I looked through my stack of papers and then glanced over to West. He met my eyes and frowned."Nothing?" he asked and I nodded as I noticed Bear walking in."Me too." Willa agreed."Same" piped in Wires and Tech nodded in agreement."This makes no sense." I complained as Ash followed Bear in.Bear looked around, "What makes no sense?" Ash looked up imploringly."These papers... they have no real information on them. At first glance, they look like invoices or payouts, maybe even receipts but when you look at them closer, they are just made up numbers. Nothing tracks to anything." I explained while running my hand through my hair in frustration."Have you already gone through all of them?" Ash asked.West shook his head, " Not all but a lot of them. I just don't get it." "Maybe they're in a code?" Bear suggested and we all groaned."Fuck! I really hope not! This could take us days to figure out if they are!" Tech sighed as Willa leaned into her for comfo

POV Petal/AthenaI shot a nervous look to Margo and she nodded calmly to me as we walked into our different rooms. I just couldn't shake the bad feeling I had. Margo and Nat seemed confident though so I trusted them and went along with the plan. I looked at the two girls in the beds in the room as the door shut behind me. I tried not to react but it was difficult. These girls were 15 but they were smaller than most ten year olds. Obviously malnourished and they were tiny even under all the blankets that seemed to be piled on top of them. They both glanced at me fearfully before dropping their eyes to the floor. My soul wept for them. No child should have to go through what they did.The one on the right had blue eyes and dirty blonde hair that was matted and looked like it hadn't been washed in months.The one on the left had reddish hair and green eyes. She looked a bit cleaner than the other one but had a bandage on her right cheek."Hi girls. My name is Petal. I'm part of the group
