Fallen Angel's MC Box Set

by Erin Trejo

  “Fuckin’ bikes don’t look touched.” Looking through the binoculars again, he’s right.

  “South side. Move in on room one. This shit’s not right.” We watch as Reggie moves into the first room. Kicking the door open I can hear him cursing.

  “Empty. Checkin’ room two.” My heart is going to explode in my chest. I can hear Ryker next to me chanting.

  “Come on, come on, come on.” Door two is kicked open.

  “Empty! Son of a bitch!” We all jump up at the same time.

  “GET BACK TO THE BIKES!”

  Chapter 55

  Bella

  Wandering around the club without all the guys in it seems weird. It’s too quiet in here.

  “Hey Piper. What are you doing?” Stopping at Uncle Creed’s office, I see Piper sitting inside.

  “Nothin’ much darlin’. What are you up to?” Walking in, I smile at him. He’s the best old man I think I’ve ever met.

  “Being bored. There isn’t shit to do when the guys are gone.” Piper chuckles before he stands from the chair he was in.

  “That’s true. They always get to do the fun stuff.” Coughing a few times, he looks tired. Worn out.

  “You Piper, are the best grandpa I ever had.” His smile is bright while he looks at me.

  “I’m the only one you had.” He laughs making me laugh.

  “I guess that’s true too. Hey, what’s that?” Catching movement on the screens next to me, Piper turns to look. His smile fades and so does mine.

  “Dusts’. FUCK!” Piper starts grabbing guns from the cabinet before he tosses me one.

  “Get the girls and kids downstairs Bella. Shoot to kill, understand?” Nodding my head, I grab two of the guns and run down the stairs.

  “JERSEY!” She comes out of the room with Ansley in her arms.

  “What are you yelling about?” Her smile fades away as she looks at my face.

  “Ambush. Get everyone downstairs, NOW!” Looking around, I don’t see anyone else.

  “Everyone is down there already.” Pushing her toward the basement door, I open it pushing her through it. I’m glad I don’t have to chase them all around. I know the kids’ playroom is down there, so that’s where they mainly stay when the guys are out.

  “Good. Lock the bottom door understand? Don’t fucking open it until you hear the guys.” I start to close the door when she stops me.

  “Come down here, too.” Shaking my head slowly, I know what I have to do.

  “Bella!” Jersey cries big tears but I shove the door closed, locking it.

  Running back toward the front I see Piper on his way out the door.

  “Get in the fuckin’ basement Bella!” Shaking my head, I take a deep breath.

  “We move into the tree line right there. We take out as many as we can. I’m dying anyway Piper. I know you know it, too.” Piper shakes his head before he starts to move. He has always looked at me differently. It’s as if he could feel me slipping away slowly. He knows it’s true.

  “You go down; I go with you baby girl.” Smiling over at him, I know he’s about through, too. It’s like people can sense it in each other.

  Hiding in the tree line, I hear the rumble of the bikes coming down the road. Thank God, Creed put those cameras up.

  “Sounds like only four bikes. What the hell?” Piper whispers to me and I know he’s right. He’s been around bikes his whole life.

  “Should be easy enough.” Nudging him with my elbow, he smiles. Taking a deep breath, I’m ready. I’m ready for whatever my fate is.

  The bikes come into view when I step out first. Shots ring through the air. I watch two of the four fall to the ground before there’s return fire. Hell, I am a pretty damn good shot.

  Electricity shoots through my body. I can feel it. My fingers keep pulling on the triggers though, until I feel myself falling.

  In a heap on the ground, I can feel it. The peacefulness. It doesn’t hurt, nothing hurts. I close my eyes.

  Dying doesn’t hurt.

  Chapter 56

  Tank

  I sit in the back of the church with my head in my hands. My baby lies in the front in a goddamn box. I never saw this coming. I just got her back, and now she’s gone.

  My heart has a hole in it. There is nothing left inside of me. Everything is void.

  “You need to drink something.” Cher hands me a bottle of water but I just set it down next to me.

  “Tank, please.” Looking up at her red and swollen eyes, I want to cry again. I do, but there are no tears left. I’ve cried for several days straight. They didn’t stop, and I couldn’t make them if I tried.

  Losing a child is a pain no parent should ever have to feel. The emptiness, the loss of control you feel is overwhelming. Sorrow consumes you.

  “I feel sick Cher. I can’t.” Her hands land on my shoulder as I bury my face in my hands again.

  “You holdin’ up brother?” Looking up, I nod my head at Ryker. He hasn’t left my side for longer than a few minutes. I know how much he cared about Bella.

  “She knew it was time, Tank.” What the hell does that mean? I snap my head up looking at him in confusion before he shakes his head.

  “What do you mean?” Ryker blows out a breath before I stand up and look him in the eyes.

  “She had cancer. She had it since she was little. It was in remission, but it came back. She said the doctor couldn’t do shit for it.” Shaking my head, that’s a fucking lie. She would have told me.

  “She didn’t say anything.” Growing angrier by the second, my hands ball into fists.

  “She didn’t want anyone to treat her any differently.” Rage and sorrow consume me. I don’t know what the hell to do.

  “You knew my baby girl was dyin’, and you didn’t say shit?” Before he gets a chance to answer, I’m on him.

  My fists blaze to life from the pain of hitting Ryker. The sad thing is, he lays there and takes it. He isn’t fighting me back. He just takes what I need to give. It’s like a part of him knew I needed to take this out on someone, I needed a release.

  Hands yank me back before I look over and see Creed.

  “Stop this shit!” Looking at him, I turn to look back down at Ryker. His face is bloodied, but the tears that stream through that blood are what kills me. It isn’t from the pain that I’ve inflicted on him. It’s the pain of losing his best friend.

  Reaching my hand out, I pull him up before jerking him into a hug.

  “I’m so sorry Tank. I loved her too, brother.” Ryker’s tears rip me apart. More tears spring to my eyes. This is the hardest day of my life, and feeling the way Ryker trembles in my arms, it’s his too.

  I don’t know how to live without her anymore. I lost her once, but I always knew she was out there. This time, she isn’t coming home. The reality of that shakes me to the core. My baby is gone, forever.

  She isn’t coming home this time.

  Chapter 57

  Ryker

  The babies and kids are all back at the clubhouse. We climb on our bikes with our old lady’s behind us as we get ready to leave the church.

  A somber feeling flows through the air, a peace that hasn’t been felt in a long time. A gentle breeze touches my skin, and I know it’s her. She told me, it would be her.

  The bikes all rev up at the same time. Jersey grips my waist as we start to move. Visions of Bella smiling slap me in the face as I close my eyes to keep the tears at bay.

  The hotel was empty. There was no one there. Rit and his boys set us up. We should have seen it coming. In fact, I think most of us felt it, but didn’t say anything. We all wanted so much to take them down, and didn’t care how we did it.

  When Reggie kicked that first door open and it was empty, our fate was sealed. They weren’t there.

  In the rush to get back to the clubhouse, a few guys wrecked. No one was hurt, but it took a little extra time to make it there.

  We weren’t prepared for what we found.

  Bella and P
iper took them down. Single handedly, they did it. They saved the girls and kids. The feeling that I had in the back of my stomach was right. Everything was wrong.

  Bella and Piper laid there, proof of what real family means. They took it. They gave their lives, to save ours. That’s the real meaning of having a family.

  When we found them lying there, we all lost it. Tank went insanely crazy. and I wasn’t far behind. Joey though, fuck! Joey couldn’t handle it. He was gone. His eyes were glazed over; he was completely lost. I saw him with that shotgun in his hand, but there wasn’t any strength in me to try to stop the inevitable. Joey took that shotgun and made his way out into the road where Bella had lost her life. We heard the blast all the way up at the clubhouse, but I knew it was too late for him. The love that boy had for her would have eaten him alive. As much as it hurt to lose another brother, he was long gone after seeing Bella the way she was. It was only a matter of time before the pain ate away at the kid.

  The bikes file out behind the three hearses. Hearts are heavy. Sadness is all around, but that breeze that blows, I know its Bella. I’ll make good on my promise to keep everyone in line. I’ll keep this club on track and moving in the right direction. I made that promise, and I intend to keep it. As much as I want to lose myself in this moment, I know I can’t. That woman behind me is what’s holding me together right now. The family I have in this club is what’s going to propel me forward. Bella made it clear that she wanted things to move ahead, and goddamn it I will die trying to make that happen for her.

  Jersey’s hands tighten around my waist. Lowering my hand, I grip hers in one of mine. I know this is taking its toll on everyone. My heart isn’t the same. My chest feels hollow. I don’t know how I’m going to make it without my side kick. She was my right hand. She knew me in a way no one else ever will.

  Jersey holds my heart, but Bella took a big piece of that with her. She held a part of my soul. She saw the darkness in it and loved me anyway. She was the best friend that anyone could have ever asked for.

  Bella and Piper, are the true Fallen Angel’s. They will forever be missed, but they will always be here in spirit. A part of me knows that now. I don’t think I realized that before, but I do now.

  As we prepare to say goodbye to some of the most important people in my life, we follow along as they take their Final Ride.

  The End.
