Axel: Chapter 22

I’ve no idea why this is happening, but from the information Axel has given to me, this is all because of Cara and her uncle wanting revenge for something I’ve never done, as I had no interaction with Cara until that day, but this uncle also has his own men that want to take the club. To me, it’s total madness.

All this has to end and the only way to do that I think is to go back to Sharp and his club. I don’t want Axel and his club to suffer for something that I’ve caused, even though I didn’t know it.

Sneaking downstairs and through the empty common room, I walk into the kitchen, keeping myself behind the kitchen door so if anyone walks into the common room, they won’t see me.

Shar turns from cleaning the breakfast dishes away. ‘What the fuck are you doing hiding behind the door?’ she snarks at me with a grin on her face.

‘Do you want to come with me? I’m going to the Rogue Legion MC in Nevada. I’m going to get answers and stop this threat to Axel and the club.’

‘For sure, I’m going with you, you’re not doing this on your own.’ Shar throws the towel down, rips off her apron and heads toward the commons room.

‘What you doing Shar?’ I whisper shout to her.

‘Going to get my purse, jacket, and the SUV keys, we’re going shopping.’ She winks at me before bustling away.

Taking a deep breath, I realize she is going to buy us time, so I quickly head back upstairs to my room, grab my purse and jacket after changing into my biker boots.

Smiling at Petey who is on the gate we drive out giving the vibe that we are only on a shopping trip, but as we go through the gate Petey shouts ‘Where’s your escort?’

Oh shit, we don’t wait to respond, we just drive out and keep going, neither of us looking back, then we giggle, mostly with nerves, as we know we’re going to be in deep trouble when we get back.

Arriving later that day at the Rogue Legion MC, both of us relieved we were not attacked on the way. After what had happened twice, we were both on alert. I have my Sig, and Shar has a Glock that Hammer purchased for her.

Pulling up at the compound, I feel a little relief that we are safely here and although I know the clubhouse well; I don’t know the prospect at the gate. This could be our first stumbling block.

‘Hello, we’re here to see Sharp if you can let him know Mia is here, please.’

Before he can respond, Crack is walking toward the gate. He doesn’t know the vehicle and as Enforcer; I think he is just doing his job, but it’s a good move for me.

As Crack reaches the gate, he ducks his head and looks at me. The shock on his face is clear, then he smiles, and it is a genuine smile as it reaches his eyes.

The prospect opens the gate fully and Shar drives through parking where Crack is pointing in front of the clubhouse.

As I step out of the vehicle, Crack grabs me up into a hug and murmurs, ‘It’s great to see you Mia.’

I’m happy to see him too. He was always kind towards me and we used to be fairly good buddies, so it’s nice to see that he still has good feelings towards me, especially after all that happened.

‘What are you doin’ here?’ Crack asks as he guides us into the clubhouse, somewhere I had hoped never to come to again.

‘I need to speak to Sharp about this uncle of Cara’s. Twice now someone has taken shots at me and I don’t want Axel or anyone else getting hurt because of me.’ I respond, taking hold of Shar’s hand as she is busy gawking at what is going on instead of following me.

Reaching Sharp’s office, Crack knocks on the door then opens it without waiting for a call to enter. I look up at him and he gives me a broad smirk, shrugs his shoulders and pulls me inside.

‘We’ve got a visitor, Pres,’ Crack says, and keeps a hand on my back, making sure I don’t back out of the office.

‘Mia! What are you doing here? Are you alright?’ Sharp asks with a shocked look on his face.

‘I came to see if you could give me some information, or get me some.’ I respond, keeping hold of Shar’s hand, ‘This is Shar, my friend.’

Shar nods at Sharp, but says nothing. She just stands next to me, keeping hold of my hand.

Sharp looks her over, gives Shar a nod, then turns back to me. ‘Take a seat, Mia. Do you want a drink or anything?’

‘A soda would be nice, please. We drove straight through as it may not have been safe to stop anywhere.’ I inform him, and I can tell I have his full attention.

Crack leaves and Sharp gives me the pointed look that I used to see so often when I lived here, never towards myself but to many of his men.

‘We have been having issues Sharp. Twice I’ve been shot at, once with Hammer when we were going back to the clubhouse, not on a bike by the way, and the second time when we left the restaurant and heading home.’ I can see the shock cross Sharp’s face, so I know by that alone that he is not involved.

‘Any idea who?’

Shar jumps in and responds, ‘Yes, we think it is Cara’s uncle. He wants vengeance on Mia for Cara’s death and he has himself a gang, so he wants Axel’s territory.’

Sharp jumps to his feet as the door opens and Crack walks back in, carrying cans of soda, but when he sees his Pres’s face he drops the cans and draws his weapon, scanning the room and placing himself between his Pres, us and the window which would be the only place a threat could come from.

‘It’s okay Crack, stand down,’ Sharp says, then sits himself back down behind his desk, but he picks up his cell and calls someone. Both Shar and I look at each other and then at Crack, who shrugs his shoulders.

‘Is it true that Cara’s fucking uncle is trying to get into your territory?’ Oh fuck, now Axel will know where we are and we were hoping to keep him guessing until we got home.

Crack must see us looking at each other and smirks, then he shakes his head and chuckles.

‘Right so, fuckin’ Bloom is the one you think is tryin’ to take Mia out?’ Sharp is asking, looking over at me and giving me a look I’m not familiar with.

We cannot hear what Axel is saying, but I can imagine he is not happy and both me and Shar are going to be in deep shit when we get back.

Sharp cuts the call, places his cell on his desk then steeples his fingers, ‘Okay, Ladies, you two are in deep trouble, you snuck off from the clubhouse without your prospects, you didn’t tell anyone where you were going, you put your lives at risk with this little visit.’

Swallowing deeply, I try to keep my brave face on, ‘Sharp, I’m a grown woman, if I want to go somewhere and do something I can do that and if Axel or anyone else thinks they can tie me down, then they are mistaken.’

Sharp jumps up from his seat, which has both me and Shar jumping in ours. ‘Crack, take them to a room. They can stay there until Axel gets here, then they can explain themselves to him.’

‘Oh no, we’re not being locked up like fucking prisoners. I’ve been there, done that already and not doing it again. We’ll be on our way if you cannot give us any new information.’ I shout, grabbing Shar and dragging her towards the door. Thankfully, Crack hadn’t gone back to the door, so it was not blocked for our retreat.

Shar opens the door and we shuffle out into the hallway. ‘Shar, watch our back and I’ll watch our front. Have you got your weapon with you just in case?’

‘Yeah, I’m on it Mia.’ Shar responds, then before I can do anything else I hear her say ‘Shit.’ and turning I see her being lifted over Crack’s shoulder and her Glock is in his hand, the other one holding her in place.

‘What the fuck Crack?’ I shout, and I have to admit, I’m mighty pissed.

I take my Sig from the holster as I start for the main door through the clubhouse. I take a dozen steps while swinging my arms left to right, letting people know that I’m not stopping.

Mostly the brothers that are now in the clubhouse recognize who I am and are grinning at the scene that I’m causing.

Just before I reach the main door, Shar shouts, ‘Go girl, I’ll catch you later,’ and I open my mouth to respond but the main door flies open and Zara walks in, as she takes in who I am she flies at me and latches herself to me, which totally takes out my ability to defend myself.

‘Zara let go.’ I shout, but before I can do anything else, someone picks me up rips the Sig from my hand and I’m tossed over a shoulder.

‘What the fuck.’ Shar shouts, ‘Put us the fuck down asshole.’

Zara is shouting and screaming for Trip to put me down, but he’s not even responding to her, then Sharp spits out, ‘Upstairs to the first bedroom, shut the pair of them in, one on the door and one under the fucking window in case this crazy bitch jumps for it.’ pointing at Shar as he said that last part.

‘Crazy bitch, I’ll give you crazy bitch motherfucker.’ Shar shouts, to which Crack slaps her ass as he was walking away.

‘Good going Zara, that was excellent timing.’ Sharp laughs. but has Zara stamping her foot, which doesn’t help me at all.

‘I’m sorry Mia, I didn’t know what was happening.’ Zara states as she’s trying to walk alongside Trip.

‘Yeah, yeah, story of my fucking life.’ I respond but give her a weak smile from my ass up position over Trips shoulder.

Ten minutes later, me and Shar are locked in a bedroom, sitting on the bed looking at each other chewing a lip as we know we either have to get out of here or face Axel’s wrath when he walks through the door.
