Open Road MC, Betting On Ace

Upside Down

Ace has been feeling like his life is moving in circles. It has been worse since he has laid eyes on Fanny. He hasn't been able to touch another woman, so he has to take care of himself.

Zoe and Fanny spent a lot of their time in the bedroom. That helped.him not see the woman, but that mase his mood worse. The club members were asking questions.

"Man, what's been up with you?" Blade asked him while they waited for a new recruit to come show his loyality.

"What are you talking about?"

Blade was sitting at the table while Ace stood in the door too out into the parking lot. He wanted this man to hurry up, so they could get the meeting over with. There was another meeting he had to get to.

"You know that you have been an asshole for a week now. We all think you need to talk to someone."

"I'm fine, you do know there are problems within the club. I have a lot on my mind."

Blade gave him a look that said he didn't believe him. It doesn't matter right now, they have business to do deal with.

"When is this man going to get here?"

"Relax man, he still has fifteen minutes."

"Since he wants to be a part of our group he should he wants to join by being early. Everyone else came early and brought a case of beer."

"So, you need you drink?" Blade asked with a chuckle.

Ace didn't think it was funny, but walked back over to the table and sat down. He looked at his phone when he felt it vibrate in his front pocket. It was Vamp and he was in town.

Damn it, if this idiot didn't come on Blade could deal with the fish himself. Ace sighed and tapped his fingers on the table top and eyed the door to open.

Finally the man walked in rushing, as he moved across the room. He sat down and kept is face natural as he tried to slow his breathing down.

"My name is Nate and here to talk with Ace and Blade, which I'm assuming is the two of you." He nodded at the men sitting at the table.

"Yes, I'm Ace and we talked with Big Hog about you joining. We need to know why you want to join? Have you been in a gang or club before?"

For thirty minutes Ace asked Nate questions about his life and how he would be a good fit for them. From what the man was saying he would be great, but him not ever being in a gang of motorcycle club it was hard to know what he would do if something was to gone done.

The man did control his breathing quickly and if you weren't paying attention, you would miss it. He talked to them without stuttering and keeping eye contact.

"We will put you on probation for a week. You will be called in the middle of the night on bullshit runs and we expect them done in a timely matter. At the end of the week we will go over your process with the other members and let you know after that."

The man shook their hands and gave them his cell phone number before leaving. Ace slid his chair back and stretched, "I'm heading out of here."

"We're not supposed to go out alone. We still have to deal with some shit for Big Hog."

"I'll call you in a few hours and we can get together. Big Hog he other plans I think, have you noticed he's talking to Mable more?"

"He should be happy Ace and that's why you need to take your position seriously. He trust you to take care of the club and keep your head about it."

Ace knew he was driving a point home though he didn't know what he was doing. He smiled at his friend and slid his black sunglasses down over his eyes.

Jumping on the back of his bike in a hurry, so none of the members could stop and talk to him. He knows that sounds mean, but he didn't have time right now.

"Sorry I'm late man, my meeting ran late. Thanks for waiting on me."

Ace followed Johnny into the white building, he could see potential here. This would make the club money legally.

"What do you think? The mirrors Will be fixed by next week."

"I'll take it my good man. This place will be perfect and the location is the best."

Two hours later Ace was smiling and sitting in the parking lot of the lot he just bought. His cell phone rang out and he answered with a cheerful voice finally.

"Ace you need to get to the club house now. We need you after the bad news we just received."

The alarm in the his friends voice told him something was wrong. It was an emergency and he wanted to get there quickly. Big Hog and Blade are his only family and he would protect them with his life.

It didn't take long for him to get on the road and heading towards his family. Ace was thinking everything possible that could be wrong, but it had to do with Big Hog since Blade called him.

When he turned onto the street to get to the house, He saw the yard full of people. More than the club members, even women were there. Most were hugging people, it looks like someone died. His heart sank to his stomach and he felt sick.

What Happened to Big Hog? He wondered has he parked his bike on the street and rushed inside the house, which was just as packed as the outside.

His heart racing he saw Blade in the corner talking to Meat and Lugs. He headed over to see what happened, as no one was saying much. There were lot of "I'm sorry" and" that's crazy this has happened." He wanted to know what happened.
