Ryder: A Wings of Diablo MC Novel, Rae Lake [e manga reader .txt] 📗

“What about them?”

“Well, we can’t prove anything but it seems like they are the ones that are jacking our cash.” Wire said sitting back in his chair never taking an eye off of Prime.

“Shit, that sucks. Watch your shit better next time,” Prime brushed it off.

“Oh, yeah. We will. I have already given Archer the word down in NOLA, if he sees anyone near our drop with those rags on he’s to drop them on sight. I mean there ain’t no reason for us to try and talk to them right?” Wire asked trying to draw whatever information Prime was holding back out.

“Hell yeah, who the fuck names themselves Boys of Djinn anyway? They sound like a bunch of pussies.” Clean said while popping some of whatever he was eating in his mouth.

“The fuck do you know?” Prime snapped at him.

“Brother, you may not be riding with us anymore but I have known you long enough to know when you are hiding something. What do we need to know about the Boys of Djinn?” I asked.

Prime looked at my chair then back up to my face, “It looks like I’m not the only one who’s not riding with the club anymore.”

The jab hurt but I wouldn’t show it.

“Is there something we’re missing here Prime?” Prez asked.

“You press them and you all are going to end up in the clink or dead.”

What the fuck?

“What the shit? How do you figure that? The cops never once questioned us about how we handed our business, why the fuck would they care about some no-name club.” Wire asked.

“Why the fuck do you think that is? What? Did you think it was your pretty face that scared them away? Negative! Djinn is why no one fucks with us.” Prime lowered his voice and calmed himself down.

“When I first created the Wings of Diablo, we were doing pretty much everything to get by. Selling drugs, kidnapping, killing, whatever the fuck I had to do to get us on the map. I took a job for us, one that should have been quick and easy but it wasn’t. I got pulled over only to find out that instead of just the drugs and money that I was supposed to be carrying, I was also carrying a nuclear device. I had one, Ryder you had one, Prez, Mick, and Wire I think you were riding in the truck with three more.”

“What the fuck are you talking about?” Wire stood up.

“This was more than fifteen years ago and I swore to never say anything, we just kept on getting them over the border.”

“Wait, I do remember that, we did something like twenty trips back and forth over the Canadian border,” I said thinking back on what he was talking about.

“Yeah, that was until Homeland Security figured out what we were doing. We were all about to go down and down for a long time but Liam, the president of the Boys of Djinn took the fall for us. The agreement was I keep all my men out of jail and in return, we would owe them a favor. They never asked for anything and we kept on getting bigger and richer. I noticed the cops never bothered us and I never verified the shit but I knew why. I knew why it was so easy for Liam to take the heat for us.”

“Why?” I asked I was not an easy man to scare but If I could I’d be shitting bricks right now. Prime wasn’t talking about killing folks or even going to jail for transporting drugs. We had been moving nuclear fucking weapons across the country. We were all fucking terrorists. If the Boys of Djinn had proof of this we wouldn’t just be going away for a long time, we would be on fucking death row.

“The Boys of Djinn are all FBI, they are all dirty as fuck but if you go after them, you’re going to have the entire fucking government coming after you.” Prime looked back over to Wire, “If they want fucking reparations for whatever they had to do to get us off the hook, give it to them.”

“Mother fuck!” Wire turned his back on all of us, “So what you’re telling us is these fucks have us by the balls and there ain’t shit we can do about it?”

“You have to be smart, not a quality I see a lot of here today.” Prime said looking around, “But really why would you want to. You boys are flourishing, your families are safe, who gives a shit if big brother wants a bit off the top.”

“I care!” Wire shouted at Prime, “The Wings don’t answer to anybody, my word is the only law.”

“Sorry to break the news to you, son, but the United States government trumps your word any day. You go up against Djinn you’re going to lose. Not just you, but your brothers, your children, your wives, anyone that every associated with the Wings of Diablo will lose.”

Chapter 10

After we left Prime we didn’t know what to do with ourselves. We didn’t sit down for anyone and with Djinn we had no choice but to let them push us around. Our freedom depended on it.

I had taken to coming out to the main room once a day just to be around my brothers but it never lasted too long, they stared and I would always end up just wanting to break someone’s face in.

The loud screeching of a truck pulling in behind the clubhouse stopped me from going back to my room. Storm walked in, his face screwed up and his fist balled at his sides. “Wire!” He yelled out.

“He’s with Lily and Keeley.”

That was all the information Storm needed he rushed straight towards church.

Our president was enjoying his family time and did not like to be disturbed but Storm stormed straight into church without waiting for the go ahead. Something was up and
