Leader: Book Three (Princes of Prophecy 3) (18 page)

We’re watching the club and Jessie is doubled over. Fuckin’ women. Darren is smiling. I’m just glad they got through it unharmed. Dakota says, ‘amen,’ in my head.

I shut the feed down and stand. Driscoll, Bull, Taylor and Brantley are watching a movie. We sit out on the deck.

It’s been a good day. We went fishing and caught our dinner. No talk of the Club or work made it good, just what I was hoping for – Brotherhood connecting us without work. Even Bull and Driscoll had a good time. I heard Bull on the phone with Deirdre telling her it was good to have the time with Brothers.

Taylor comes out. “Old ladies okay?”

Jessie tells him about Jess and Sheila then the singing. “Your old ladies can take care of themselves. You had nothing to worry about.”

“We were not worried, we just wanted to see them have fun,” Dakota says making us all laugh.

“Even Brenda was smiling by the time they left,” Darren tells him.

“Thank fuck. She’s been a pain in the ass. I thought Lily waking up would snap her out of it. I’m glad she made it back.”

I have nothing to say to this. I knew why she was pissed and couldn’t fix that for her. It’s something she had to work through. I’m glad too. They start talking shit about the hike tomorrow making me smile. ‘No worries’ pops into my head. A day of no worries was good. Two will be great.

Driscoll is getting pissed. I look at the Mayor. “We got your rapist within a week. Your PD has spent three months on this while he got cocky and escalated. I am not sitting here trying to convince you of what we can do for your town. You know it. I had reports delivered to you before the meeting so you can see it. If this isn’t what you’re looking for why the fuck am I here?”

“I’m not saying I don’t want you policing our town. I have a Chief that can continue to be a go between for the PD and you. He can report directly to me and advise the bikers.”

Dakota stands up. “You misunderstand Mr. Mayor. We will not be policed by your Chief who does not want to be without a job. He has money coming in that he is not willing to lose. The Princes will not take advice from a thief and do not need a ‘go between’, as you say. I am the Brother you will talk to directly. You know how this works and what you get. Do not waste time better spent running the towns we already work for. Yes or no? You have one minute to answer before we walk out and make the call to let your rapist loose.”

The Mayor looks at me. “You can’t just let a rapist loose. We need the evidence so we can charge him.”

I stand up. “Let your Chief know he has to collect it himself or the rapist will walk.”

Driscoll stands. The Mayor looks nervous. “I don’t play games and I don’t like people wasting my time.”

“Yes!” the asswipe says.

I lean over his desk. “Fire your Chief right the fuck now or we are out.”

He picks up his phone hitting one key and says, “You’re fired.”

Dakota almost laughs. “We have another meeting. In two hours you will have a press conference letting the people of this town know the Princes are your new PD. If you are smart you will have no problems from here on out. You are free to collect your money and perks from the waterfront expansion with our blessing.”

The Mayor pales. Driscoll turns to him. “I have officers ready to take over for the PD’s next shift. I will take care of informing the PD and handing out their assessment and training schedules. Any problems will be dealt with by Dakota. If there is a need he will inform you. At no time are you allowed to call me directly.”

The Mayor nods and we leave. Jesus why the fuck do we have to go through this every-fuckin’-time. “Tell me the next one doesn’t need a fuckin’ hand holding.”

Dakota laughs. “He was agreeing, he just needed us to be firm so he could believe we bullied our way in. It will make him happy to think like that. Our next Mayor is begging to get in. He leaves me a message weekly hoping this will be the week we accept. It is his lucky day.” He smiles and I laugh. Fuckin’ Dakota.

“Driscoll do you need to get to PD Security for this changeover?”

He smiles. “No Prez. I really do have the next shift covered.”

I nod and throw my leg over. We ride the fifteen minutes to the next town. The Mayor is at the door to his office as we climb the stairs in his old town hall. It’s a beautiful building and we all take a minute looking around while I tell him that.

Dakota is throwing me pictures of an argument. This is a good man fighting for good in his town. It’s about fuckin’ time we get a good one.

“Please come in. Thank you for taking us on. I have everything ready, our budget will be transferred as soon as we do whatever you need from me.”

I smile. “Tell me why you’re so eager to have us take over your department.”

He sits at his desk after we all sit. “The PD is bad. The criminals pay for them to look the other way. Our town is not safe for the decent people that live here. I thought the Outlaws were bad shaking us down, but the Police are worse.”

“How far up does your problem go?” Driscoll asks him.

“The Chief. I can’t get rid of him because he’s voted in. If I could prove he’s taking money I would have, but there aren’t enough good cops to get that proof.”

Dakota looks at me. “He has a flash drive in his center drawer that has the information the Mayor needs.”

I look at Driscoll. “Get it and start right away. Dakota get to the station and get rid of the bad cops. Don’t take anyone if you have a doubt.” They stand and walk to the door. I look back at the Mayor. “I’ll have your proof delivered after we make a copy. You need to announce that we are taking over and transfer the funds to Princes. I will have our treasurer contact you with the information. Dakota is who you call with a problem.” I put Dakota’s card down. “We have your town wired and as of two minutes ago under Prince Surveillance. We will remove your PD and the gang that is causing you problems. You can look at the stats, but I don’t believe you care.”

“I’ve seen what you do and want that life for our town. We deserve to live free without worrying about going out after dark. Living in fear is not living.”

I smile. I like this guy. “No, it’s not. It will get worse before it gets better, but we will try to be quick about it. You can announce the change in two hours. That will give Driscoll enough time to set his officers to take the next shift and get you your proof.”

He smiles and looks younger. “Thank you. If I can do anything to help just name it.”

“Joey will be in touch with banking information and Dakota will let you know if we need anything. Breathe easier Garrett, we got this.” I shake his hand and walk out. It really is a beautiful building.

People are clapping when I hit the door. I look around. Dakota is smiling on his bike. “They are happy for the change Prez.”

I smile. I’m getting that. This is the first time people are happy for the change. I’m glad the Mayor is getting this. We ride back to Security passing a shit load of PD on the way. Driscoll works fast. In my office I text him to let me know if he needs anything.

Lily crosses my mind. I hit one and wait for her to pick up. “Hi honey I was just thinking about you.”

I like the sound of that. “What were you thinking? If you make it good, I’ll be there in five.”

She laughs. “Since I’m in a meeting with everyone watching I’m going to have to take a rain check for at least thirty. I got a call from a Mayor asking for help with programs geared toward helping women be self-sufficient. He has quite a few low income areas that he’d like to educate and train if possible. Since Princes just took on his PD he thinks we’ll be at least a month away, but wants to get the programs set up so he can start it as soon as the neighborhoods are safe.”

“I’ll be there in thirty and go ahead with whatever you think would work for him. The town is eager for the change so it should be an easy transition.”

“I’m going now so we can set it up. I’ll be done when you get here.” I can hear her smile and I know she’s blushing. Fuck I’m hard already.

I get to my email and look at Patches’ list. Something for her. Fuck. It’s different and she’ll definitely like it. This works close enough to my timetable. With a plan working in my head I go through my email. We have trafficking Friday and I’m looking at helicopters on Monday. Fuckin’ Darren knows how to get it done. He’s got a truck from Providence with computers and tablets.

I make a list for Mayor Garrett. With him happy to get us in, he’ll gladly take the truck for his schools. He’ll expect to pay for Lily’s programs. I need to get those numbers from her. We can run cash through his town and get paid on the books. With this settled I clear the rest pretty quick.

I call Joey with the information and plan for the truck and town. She’s got it covered and reminds me we’ll have more auctions to work with. I set up a meet with Jared and Jax for tomorrow at the garage. I need a bike for Bull and the numbers from Driscoll for bikes and trucks. With a list forming for Darren I head out grabbing what I’ll need for Lily. I hit my watch and lock my door. Darren is walking toward me. “I was just starting a list for you. Take the truck from the Bosses and see if we can get another. Joey reminded me of the auctions we can run through and I’ll need you to order the trucks for Driscoll once I get the numbers.”

“On it Prez. Ops just called me. People are gathering at town four. I’ll call if it looks like a problem.”

I look at my watch. “I’ll be back in forty.”

My Security is waiting by my bike. I take a second look at his bike. Jared is amazing. I don’t know how he does it, but the bikes are looking more futuristic every time I see them. “It’s a test bike. I’m allowed only in the yard. If you’re going farther, I need to switch it out.”

I look at him. Why would he take the test bike with me? “I’m in the yard.”

“They checked your schedule before I was called. I just wanted to make sure.”

I get on my bike and ride thinking no one will ever confuse Security with me. I ride classic old school most days and Security is on futuristic Ducatis. I have one, and I grew up training on the Ducatis, but I like the sound and feel of my classics.

“I’ll be about twenty.” He nods and waits at the door.

Deirdre tells me she’s in her office. I step through the door locking it behind me, but seeing her behind the desk, I’m hit with the memory of hoping to see her there again. I smile. She’s right where she’s supposed to be. “Just in time,” she says writing something and closing a file.

“I’ve always been good with timing,” I say taking her hand and leading her into the bathroom. I pull a wire tie out of my pocket and cuff her hands. When I close the door I turn her facing it and slide her hands on the hook. She’s already breathing heavy and I haven’t touched her. “My naughty girl come out to play today?”

She moans. “Yes.”

I pull on the end of her skirt rolling it up. Women and the fuckin’ panties. I don’t know how the Brothers get any work done with their women looking like this. I rip them off and she yelps. I slap her ass. “Not one sound.” Leaning against her I put my arms around her, one squeezing her nipple the other flipping her ring. “My naughty girl need some help here?” She nods not chancing the sound. I gagged her yesterday for making noise. “You’re already wet babe. Were you thinking about the room with the couple fuckin’ in front of us?” She moans and I slide my finger in feeling her clench. “You liked seeing him bend her over the bed and take her from behind babe?” She nods and I squeeze her nipple hard. “I did too naughty girl. I liked watching you get so fuckin’ hot from it. I thought you were going to come watching them.” She moans and I roll my finger against her ring hitting her clit just right. She starts rolling her hips into my hand. “So fuckin’ sexy babe. Close your eyes.” I pull my dick out and rub it against her ass. “Watch him with his fingers in her pussy babe. He’s rubbing against her and she’s getting impatient. She wants that dick in her.” She moans pushing her ass against me. “He wants in, but he wants his naughty girl to come. He wants her wet and slick so he can slide his dick right in.” She pushes back hard and I slap her ass. “He’s watching you babe. He wants to know how you like watching him fuck his naughty girl. Look at that smile on his face. He likes getting you off too.” I curl my fingers around her and let her take what she wants. “Fuckin’ nice babe. My naughty girl likes being watched too.” She starts shaking. Nice. I get her there and she moans from her chest. I love feeling that. “That’s it my beautiful naughty girl let him see you come with my hand sliding on your pussy.” She lets out a moan that almost has me coming on her ass. Fuck she’s fuckin’ sexy as hell. I kiss her neck and moan as I slide my hand up to her stomach. “Love to see you come babe.” I slide my fingers in her mouth and she sucks on them. “Mmm I can’t wait to taste you later my naughty girl.” I move away from her and get a towel to clean her up. When she’s clean I unhook her hands and cut the tie.

“Gotta get to work babe.” I kiss her lips and turn around to walk out.

“Wait!” I look at her and think of everything that will stop me from smiling. She’s a little out of it. “Thank you? I don’t know what to say.”

I walk back and kiss her making sure she’s feeling me against her. Her hand finds my dick and I grab it. “Gotta get to work babe.” I walk away thinking I’m a fuckin’ fool, but I’m a smiling fool.

My phone rings as I’m sitting on my bike contemplating going back in there and fuckin’ her over her desk. “Prez the gang is showing at the town center.”

“On my way to the center.” I hear him say ‘fuck’, but shut my phone down.

“Prez on the side,” I say turning my mic on.

Darren: “Roger Prez. PD, Driscoll, Eagle Eye and Sniper are on the scene. This is town four center where a press conference was scheduled.”

Me: “Roger VP. Get every free Security and HS on the center.”

Darren: “Roger Prez. They’re en route.”

The HS bikes show as I’m pulling up. I leave my bike in line with them and walk to Dakota and Taylor. Jessie comes running up on the side of me. I see the colors mixed in with the town people.

Me: “VP get Security behind everyone wearing colors.”

Darren: “Roger Prez.” I watch Security mix in and move behind the gang members.

Driscoll shows with a line of officers in front of us. The Mayor comes out and stands at the podium looking around. He pales and I look at Dakota. “He fuckin’ called them?”

He nods and throws me pictures. I move to the side of the podium and he shrinks back. “Your friends are a little outnumbered. You’ve done us a favor. We don’t have to go look for them now.” He stutters, but doesn’t get a word out.
