“Look, if you want to come, then you can, but I trust no one is going to bother you here. It’s a lot more secure than the hotel room,” Trip said. “All the doors are locked and only me, Gunner, and Axle have a key.”

I hesitated, then I put my chin up.

“Alright, if you really think that I’ll be okay, then I’d prefer to stay here,” I said.

“Okay. Don’t leave. If you want anything, you have my number. I can get it for you when I’m on lunch, or I’ll send one of the guys. Just stay here, do your thing, and lay low,” he said.

“Fine,” I replied. He didn’t stick around. With a final nod, he turned and headed out the door. I listened as his footsteps faded down the hall, then I walked to the window and watched as he got on his bike and rode off.

It was Tuesday. I’d been staying with him for three days now, and he was going back to work. Normally, he would have worked on Monday, but he’d taken the day off to meet up with my brother halfway between here and Barstow. And, he had a court date.

The very first thing I did was try to get out of him what he’d done to have to go to court, and I felt like an idiot when he told me he was standing by a woman who was trying to get a restraining order against her abusive ex-husband. At first, I thought he might be lying to me, but he got dressed up, the woman showed up at the apartment, and the two of them left together.

That night, he’d explained to me that he and several of the other members of his club would accompany women who were going to court against their abusers, offering them support and protection against the men who had been hurting them.

He had several stories of when he or other men under him had to step in before the meeting as men tried to threaten their ex’s in the parking lot at the courthouse. Through the months, many of the men who were taken to court – or who took their ex’s to court – had learned when they saw the Avenging Angels in the parking lot, they had to back off and behave.

“How’d it go?” I’d asked when he got back from court.

“Good. He’s got to stay pretty damn far away from her, pay her alimony, and stop with any and all forms of contact starting immediately. If he violates any of those orders, he’s facing a lot of jail time,” he said as he took off his vest.

“And then do you, what? Do you ride around and make sure he’s staying away from her?” I asked. I didn’t want it to come off as condescending as it had, and I knew from the look that he gave me he was rather offended at my choice of words. I winced but didn’t apologize.

“We can’t. She’s not local.
