Psycho - Headless Horsemen MC novel Chapter 58

-Jax -

Once we hit American soil we got into the SUV that Harley had taken the week before, the ride back to the compound was silent, Harley kept her eyes out the window for the majority of it. "You alright kitten?" I ask taking my eyes off the road quickly to look over to her, "Yeah, just thinking of the ass whopping Shelby's going to give me" She laughs. "If it makes you feel any better Gunner will most likely be getting one too, apparently the kitchen has been set on fire 3 times so far, I'll be surprised if the place is still standing".

I pull up to the large metal gate as Blade comes over to greet us, "Nice to have y'all back" He says with a smile, Harley turns her head to look at him in the driver's window "Go fuck yourself Blade, couldn't open the fucking gate when I asked?" She growls at him, "Sorry Harley, you know the rules. But I will way I was impressed" He smirks before walking back over to the gate to open it.

We drive in and I park the car near the other SUVs and get out, "Ready?" I ask putting my arm around her shoulders "As I'll ever be" She mumbles in reply, we walk up the steps and open the wooden doors to utter chaos, Shelby and Gunner are screaming at each other alcohol bottles are smashed across the room and chairs are scattered around the floor.

"What the fucks going on?" Harley yells both of their heads snap to the sound of her voice. Shelby squeals and waddles over as quickly as she can over to Harley, she pulls her in for a hug before pulling back and punching her arm, "You asshole! You left me with a bunch of wild animals you could have taken me withy ou at least?! A week in Mexico! MEXICO!" She exclaims, Harley laughs at her before replying, "You can't fly dumbo, not until those tiny crotch goblins are out".

Gunner moves Shelby out of the way and hugs Harley next, he whispers something into her ear and she laughs before breaking the hug, "I hear you beat my old man" She raised her eyebrows at him, his body tenses at first but relaxes once she smiles, "Thank you" She says with a wink.

Gunner looks over to me and laughs, "Look's like you beat your old man" He jokes. Harley freezes instantly and tenses slightly, "I'm going to go and find Betty and dad" I nod and kiss her. Gunner goes to speak but I stop him, I watch her leave the room and I turn my attention back to him, "It's a sensitive subject with her, I don't think she will talk about it" I say watching the door in case she comes back in, "But she did beat your ass" Gunner says with a smirk.

"Yeah and it looks like Shelby was about to beat yours," I say eyeing the mess on the floor, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to know when Harley was coming back and Gunner wouldn't tell me anything" She grits through her teeth, I nod my head at her before turning back to Gunner, "You have to be a bigger dumbass than me, didn't you tell me to tell Harley everything yet you keep something so simple from your woman?" I reply, Shelby smiles and walks out of the room.

"Now, you're going to tell me what the fuck is going on here while I watch you clean up your mess," I say gesturing to the broken glass on the floor, I sit down on a barstool and pull out a cigarette, "But it was Shelby" He whines. "Damn dude, throw her under the bus a little harder next time. I'm not making a heavily pregnant woman clean, so now it's your mess" I say as I inhale the smoke.

Over the next half an hour I watch gunner clean the room and floor as he runs me through what had happened while I was gone. "Damn this place looks almost brand new, maybe you should be pulled as VP and made into a rotter" Harley jokes as she walks behind the bar, "I'm prettier than all of them" Gunner replies as he flicks his nonexistent hair over his shoulder.

"So I was thinking, I might stay behind the bar for a while, make drinks stuff like that" Harley says as she runs her fingers over the bottles of alcohol, "Any reason?" I ask watching her. "Everyone's somewhat safer if there's a large bar between us, until I learn how to control my anger anyways," She says turning around to face me.

Shark Eye's walks in next and walks over to us inspecting my face, "Damn she got you good" He says quietly before he sits down on the barstool next to me. "What did you forget to tell me, dad?" She asks leaning against the bar top, "I have some presents for you" He says happily, he gestures us to follow him and we do down to the basement, we walk in as he leads us down to the holding cells.

Cell after cell sits a different person, at least 15 of them. "What's all this?" I ask looking over each of the men sitting in the cells with gags in their mouths, "Tried to steal some of our bikes while we were partying, turns out they're a small gang trying to get in the drug-running business, were going to sell our bikes for money to buy drugs" Shark Eye's says as he looks over each of them, "How exactly are they presents for me?" Harley asks turning her attention to her father.

"well I know how hard it is to control the anger you have inside of you, I know how much you struggle to keep your demons at bay, so these are some chew toys for you. Come down here when you want to kill one of us and kill one of them instead" He says with a smile on his face, she walks over to one of the men, he has short blonde hair and blue eyes, no visible tattoos extremely pale skin.

She looks at him for a second going over all of his features, he attempts to smirk at her with the gag still in his mouth "He's first" She growls the smirk fell off his face as soon as the words left her mouth, "Right now?" Shark Eye's asks confused, she shakes her head no still staring at the man on the floor, "When the times right, but he's first" She points her finger at him "Thank you dad" She turns around and gives him a kiss on the cheek before walking off.

........................

It's been 4 days since Harley's been home and as she said shes put herself behind the bar every day, I still don't really understand what a piece of wood is going to do to stop her from shooting or stabbing someone but if she believes it will work I'm all for it. But tonight we have a drop and have to leave them here by themselves with some prospects, I need all the men I can get to do this drop. Word going around is that the asshole that put a hit on Harley is planning on attacking us when we get to the drop off point, we have some sister charters coming in to help us too.

"I don't have a good feeling about this" Gunner says as he walks into the armoury, I slide a pistol into my holster and turn my head to look at him "Neither do I but we have back up, none of the boys could find anything about where the threats are coming from, got no idea what or who we are up against" I reply as he walks over to me and begins to pick out his weapons of choice.

"Hurry up and unload we need to go" I order, I turn to Gunner "We go to wherever the gunfire is, we back them up, kill whoever needs to be killed and leave" The boys whistle and slam the doors of the truck closed, Gunner yells out and orders them to follow our lead. I run over to my bike and jump on, I feel my phone ring in my pocket I quickly pull it out and see it's Harley, "What's going on kitten" I answer quickly into the phone, "Shelby's in labour, we need to get her to the hospital" She says out of breath.

"Fuck, GUNNER!" I yell out over the sounds of engines starting, he runs over to me "What's wrong?" He asks frantically "Shelby's in labour" I blurt out, how else am I going to fucking put it. The colour form his face drains and his jaw slacks, shit he's going to be no use. I slap his face to get his attention back "We get this done now, get on your bike so we can get back" He slowly nods but runs over to his bike anyways, "Alright listen, I need you to stay there until I call you back, I can't risk you's going out yet" I pause, I can hear Shelby screaming in the background "Please just don't go, make sure you have Doc with you and if it gets too bad get an ambulance, but don't you dare fucking drive or leave unless it's on the back of my bike or in the back of the fucking ambulance Harley I mean it" I yell as I start my bike.

"Fuck fine! Be safe, I love you and fucking hurry up and tell Gunner to get his shit together" I laugh, "I love you too, see you soon" I hang up my phone and slide it into my pocket, I kick the stand up and drive in the direction of gunfire the rest of the charters should have moved to their spot as soon as they heard the first shot. We pull up to a shootout, a bloodbath. Bullets flying everywhere and men are falling around me not many of ours but plenty of theirs.

I hide behind the SUV and grab the sniper off of the passenger seat floor, men begin to file in to get closer to the targets, Gunner looks at me and I nod as he creeps forward. I look into the scope and begin to pick them off, looking at vantage points for other snipers in the area.

I spot one on top of one of their trucks laying down on the roof, I breath out and pull the trigger I hit him square in the head instantly killing him, my arm begins to ache in pain and my hand becomes coated in blood another sharp sting takes me by surprise on the left side of my lower back, I can feel someone's hand against my back holding the knife in place, amateur.

I smash my head back into the persons face crushing their nose they fall back ripping out the knife in the process, I take that time to grab my pistol firing off a quick shot to his head before he has the chance to move. I look back into the scope and pluck more of them off until there's only a few of them left. I throw the gun back in the car, pull out my pistol and make my way over to Gunner ignoring the increasing pain in my arm and back, I find him behind a bike laying against the body of it.

"You hit?" I ask, he smirks and nods his head, "Assholes got you too?" He questions looking down at my blood-stained arm, I nod my head, "The worst part is I don't even know who we fucking mass murderer" He laughs I hear footsteps behind me, I turn around and cock my gun, Wood stops dead in his tracks and holds his hands up.

"Jesus Killer," He says holding his hand over his chest, "We managed to capture 3, rest are dead. Hawk and Juice were also hit, a few from the other charters too". "Yeah Gunner and I are too, I can ride back what about you?" I ask turning to Gunner "In the stomach so probably not, I need to call Shelby or Harley and see what's going on" He grunts trying to move.

"Get the injured into the cars, load up their bikes and let's roll out and back to the compound keep your eyes open for any more of the cock suckers. Gotta get back and secure the compound ASAP" I yell out, I go to the back of the truck and get out gas canisters, I walk over to the piles of bodies and pour it over them soaking their clothing and hair in it before moving to their cars and trucks, I douse them too. I pull out a packet of matches and light each car individually before moving to the bodies until I run out of matches, quickly it all merges together and becomes one big bonfire.
