Chapter Nine

Einstein

He stared out at the groups of men dotting Truck’s yard. They’d spread out and grown over the past half an hour, early arrivals coming out to greet those who’d just gotten here.

In the four months since he’d left Baker in his dust, things had changed here on the homesteads. What had been a rough field with uneven camping had turned into a cultivated space complete with thick grass. Someone had crafted more fire rings, and large logs had ass-sized scoops shaped out of them, creating seating at each.

Through the gossip grapevine, everything had sounded good—sometimes too good, as if the storyteller wanted the new chapter to be a grand success. In person, he found that the stories had actually been downplayed somewhat.

“Einstein.” Laughter wreathed the sound of his name, and he turned to see Horse was the one who’d recognized him. Lifting a hand, he gave a wave in response. Horse gestured and called, “Come on over, brother.”

Brother.

That right there was the one downside of the nomad rocker. Bama Bastards was a small club, tiny when compared to the bigger players like Incoherent and Rebel Wayfarers. Even Freed Riders was a larger club, with multistate chapters as notches in its organizational belt. He hadn’t realized how much he’d miss being around people he knew…and trusted.

“Horse, good to see you.” Their palms slapped together; then Horse adjusted his grip, pulling Einstein into a one-shoulder clinch. “How is it I’m back in Baker and you’re back in Baker? You stalking me?”

“No. If I was gonna do that kind of shit, I’d have just locked you down when you came to visit a few weeks ago.” Blackie and Horse had given Einstein a warm welcome, offering a room in their clubhouse for him to rest his head. “You look a little better now than you did then.”

“Asshole, I’d just run through a hailstorm.”

“So you say. I’m not convinced the black and blue you were wearing were caused by itty-bitty balls of ice, but whatever you want to believe. Whatever.” With a final thumping hit against Einstein’s back, Horse pulled away, still grinning. “You know you’re welcome anytime, right?”

“I know. Know and appreciate the trust, brother.” He thudded his fist against Horse’s shoulder. “Tell me what I’ve missed.”

“Clubhouse here is done-done. Fuckin’ finally. I didn’t think Bane’d ever get it finished to his satisfaction. Your drawings and information helped out a fuckin’ ton, man. Great job there.” Stepping away, Horse leaned against a tree. “Gunny’s settled in better than anyone expected. Man’s a menace, but he’s also kinda a fuckin’ genius when it comes to dealin’ with Bane’s patch-overs and prospects.”

“I’ve heard only good things about him.” Einstein paused and considered. “Well, mostly good things. He had a moment a few years ago when he was helpin’ RWMC deal with some shit. Heavy-handed, but it all sorted out in the end.”

“Brother, we’ve all got those kind of stories in our rearview.” Horse’s chuckle was wry. “At this point, if you don’t have
