Chapter 19

Luke

Friday, May 10, 2013

The first thing I thought of — even before I opened my eyes — was Krystal. I stretched, my hands and feet barely able to reach the corners of the enormous king bed, and I wondered what the chances were that I’d be waking up alone tomorrow morning. The notion of her, naked and asleep in my bed, gave me a hard-on that wouldn’t have been quite so uncomfortable if she’d been there. Since she wasn’t, I took matters into my own hands and decided to hit the hotel gym before I picked Sable up for the weed shop visits.

Just before I left, I thought to call down to the front desk and ask them to stock the refrigerator with some champagne and to send up some strawberries shortly before Krystal was supposed to arrive. If strawberries and champagne didn’t impress a girl used to hanging out with dirty bikers who sucked down Coors Light like there was no tomorrow, I didn’t know what would.

“Hey, Sable,” I called from the Jeep as she walked down the drive toward me.

“Mornin’,” she said cheerfully.

“Joker here?” I asked, since the garage door was closed.

“Oh, yeah,” she answered, clearly irritated. “I doubt he’ll be up before noon.”

“Was he out late?” I asked, already regretting have brought it up.

“Luke, that man still acts like he was in his twenties and still drinking with his Marine Corps buddies. I’m not sure if he’s ever gonna grow the fuck up and start taking better care of himself.”

I didn’t say a word. I remembered Joker’s warning to stay out of other Sons’ relationships, and I kept my mouth shut.

Sable looked over at me as she fastened her seat belt. “I can see he’s already gotten to you. That you’re learning the ‘stay out of your brother’s business’ bullshit that they all live by, but you mark my words. If that man doesn’t start taking better care of himself, he’s gonna end up in the hospital with a heart attack. He isn’t exactly a young man anymore.”

I hoped she’d change the subject, and I didn’t say anything, just letting the silence follow us out of their neighborhood. Finally, after a few miles, I decided to end the awkwardness.

“So you know both of the people we’re meeting with today?”

“Yeah. Bobby Findlay owns the first store, and we went to school together.”

“And his business is doing well?”

“When I talked to him yesterday, he said he’s making way more than when he ran his construction company, and he has a fraction of the overhead.”

I smiled and nodded, her conversation confirming what I’d heard from my friend in California. “I really think this could be the answer to the MC’s problems,” I told her. “And my ticket in.”

Sable got quiet, which I was quickly learning meant that something was wrong.

“What?” I asked, mentally bracing myself for the lecture I feared was coming.

“Luke, I know that I don’t really count as your mother since I abandoned you, but will you at least listen to me for a minute?”

“Sure.
