Phoenix, Arizona

After AJ visited his sister, he went back out to the club to talk to Jace. He wanted to let him know that he had to go back to Tempe, but if Jace still needed help, AJ knew a lot of guys that would be more than happy to take a trip to Phoenix. As soon as he drove up in front of the new clubhouse, he knew something was up. The shop next door had the door rolled up, but although AJ couldn’t see anyone inside working in there, all the bikes were still parked out front and there was one parked near the shop that he didn’t recognize, and it had Massachusetts plates. They had company. He got off his bike and went inside. Most of the guys were there, sitting around a new table that AJ had just helped Finn and Bubba set up the day before, sharing a pitcher of beer. He noted that Jace, Finn and Bubba were absent and he didn’t see anyone he didn’t recognize.

“Hey, AJ! Come have a beer,” Toad said, as soon as he saw him. AJ went over and took a seat at the chair. Toad poured him a mug of beer and slid it across the table to him.

AJ took a sip of it and said, “Thanks. I’m surprised to find you all here, before dinner.” Normally they were all working until dinner showed up, all except for the two that were always following the girl they were watching. Those guys and the girl usually showed up about dinnertime and unless Jace and Beck were joining the guys for dinner, she disappeared until morning. AJ didn’t know what the deal was with her. When she first got there, she seemed sullen and angry. She was a brunette when she got there and within a few days her hair was platinum blonde and six inches shorter. AJ wasn’t positive but he didn’t think she’d had such blue eyes when she arrived either. He could tell by the way someone followed her everywhere she went that they were protecting her from something or someone, but no one said anything specific in front of him. All he really knew was that her name was Madison and after a week or so, when she started working for Tommy at the museum, she seemed happier and more relaxed. He had even spotted her and Beck having coffee together on Beck’s front porch a few days earlier when Beck’s mother and grandmother were visiting.

“We had church,” Toad said. “Jace said we could take the rest of the day off.”

“Nice. Is Jace around? I need to talk to him.”

“He’s still in there,” Toad said, tossing his head toward the meeting room. “He’s got company.”

“Okay, I guess I can wait and talk to him tomorrow.”

“Sounds like Barney is here,” Vic said when the sounds of a loud Hog approaching broke the silence outside. Barney had just been patched in, along with Gaston, a few weeks earlier. Jace had invited AJ to the patching ceremony, which was about five minutes of the all-night party.
