KHAOS POV
I wake up in the morning to Cherry bringing me breakfast in bed. "Thanks, baby girl," I say as she sets the tray down. She kisses me and tells me good morning. She sets up a computer on the desk. "Aren't you going to eat?" I ask. "I already ate with the girls. Timberleigh, Poppy, and Willow seem to fit right in with everyone else seamlessly. You were sleeping like the dead this morning, so I let you. Now I am going to look up things for training and maybe contact the guy I got Tank from to ask questions." she replies.
Cherry does all kinds of checking things and talking to the guy in Louisiana while I eat. I walk over to see what she is doing and how her research is going. She was looking at local contractors, "We have a contractor. That will be the best one to use, cheapest too." I tell her. I bring up his info on the computer. She contacts him and tells him what she wants. She sends him blueprints that include the perks she wants in them. It would let her house twenty-four dogs at a time. He quotes her 25000. Basically, just charging her a little above the cost of materials. She tells him as soon as the club votes it in, she'll contact him. "We need to let your pops know what I found out. It's going to cost $46836 to start it up. That includes our licenses, building the kennels that house the dogs, adopting twenty-four dogs, vetting all twenty-four of them, all the equipment, books to train them, and dog food for a year. That gives us a year to train the first ones and not have that cost coming out. I have that much. My friend is buying my house in Louisiana and is going to use it for women she helps them escape abusive situations and sets them up with new identities. They can stay there for a while till they can move on to a new place." Cherry says with pride. "I am so proud of you, baby girl. Let's get some lunch, and then we will talk to Dad." I tell her.
We hurry down to grab some lunch and when we get off the elevator, we see Rayne having it out with MaryAnn. "Isn't that the woman that I saw the video of you telling off for touching you?" Cherry asks. "Yeah, it is. That girl is trouble. We need to just kick her to the curb." I reply. "Need to be smart and not kick anyone until after Alejandro is dealt with. Remember what happened with Daisy? We could lock her ass up until it's dealt with. Depends on what she did now." she tells me. MaryAnn tries to throw a punch at Rayne and Cherry grabs her arm throwing her down. "That's enough bitch. You know it's against the rule to hit an ol' lady. Khaos, love, put the skank in a cell. Chain her ass up. I will find out what is going on. ALL YOU FUCKING SWEETBUTTS BETTER FIGURE IT OUT QUICK, THE BITCH IS BACK AND THE DRAMA BULLSHIT STOPS NOW!" Cherry commands. Now I remember why she was in charge of all the sweetbutts, to begin with. I grab MaryAnn and take her to a cell while she cries. When I chain her up, she tells me, "I am sorry for all the trouble. It's not fair, I have been good to all of you and two whores get made an ol' lady before me. I deserve to be taken care of. I deserve a man." she cries. "First off, one of those so-called whores is my ol' lady. Talk like that again and I will remove your tongue. Secondly, you don't know her story other than rumors, so keep your opinions to yourself. Thirdly you will have a chance to tell your side to her when she comes to talk to you. Enjoy your stay." I say condescendingly.
When I get back upstairs, Cherry waves me over to sit by her, Rayne, and Knucklehead. Damien, one of our newer prospects, drops us all plates of food for lunch and Grayson, his identical twin, is behind him with drinks options. They are good prospects and I figure they will make the cut. They would be good to help Cherry with her project, train them with the dogs, and they could be rented out as K9 security. Rayne and Knucklehead explain how MaryAnn started trying to flirt with Knucklehead. When Rayne and he both told her to back off, he was a claimed man, she called Rayne a cheap whore. It escalated from there. She even went as far as claiming Rayne blackmailed Knucklehead into claiming her. I could tell Cherry is pissed. "Let's talk to Dad first before you talk to MaryAnn," I suggest. "Yeah, that's probably the best idea. I also need to talk to him about not kicking her out until after Alejandro is handled," she replies with a tight smile.
When we get to Dad's office, he's on the phone. He motions for us to sit. "Thanks for the update, Pablo. Definitely keep us updated on his movements. Bye." Mayhem says as he hangs up. "What did Pablo have to say?" I ask. "They dropped Alejandro in Louisiana about thirty minutes ago. He will be at your house in Lafayette in about three hours. Each cartel has a few guys trailing him and his crew, they will keep us updated on his movements. They will call me first then Pablo. If he does get any help and if the cartels know anything about them, they will pass on the information." Mayhem answers. "I am glad they are helping us and not Alejandro. I looked up all the information to start the dog training business. I can have it all built, twenty-four dogs adopted, vetted, licensed, training equipment, and dog food for a year to get us started for $46836. I have most of that on hand and the rest I will have when my friend buys my house. She is going to use it as a safe haven for women she gets new identities after escaping abuse. We can figure out the profit split if you guys vote it in. Maybe whatever percentage you guys want, you can provide for start-up or some of it and help with the running of the training." Cherry tells Dad. "I actually had an idea to throw in on that too. The prospect twins and Wolf have taken up Tank well. They might be good ones to help full-time and can be trained to do K9 security with a few of the dogs. You said sometimes people want to rent just a dog for security and sometimes want a handler with them, right? I ask Cherry. She nods and replies, "Yes. Both of those services pay well. The rental is 100 for 8 hours or 150 daily. The rental of handler and dog is 200 for 8 hours or 500 per day." Mayhem nods taking in all the information. "I will bring it up in church later. Then if they vote it in, we will mark of land to run it at. We will figure out the percentages then too. Khaos, we have church in 10 minutes." Mayhem replies. "Yes, Prez," I reply. "One more thing, Mayhem, MaryAnn caused more trouble. Khaos said it was her third strike. I am worried about kicking anyone out before the Alejandro situation is handled. I don't want a repeat of Daisy's situation. She tried to hit Rayne. I stopped it and had Khaos lock her up. I plan to hear her side of things and if it is satisfactory, I will keep her locked up but not chained. If that is okay with you." Cherry says questioningly. He nods, "Yeah, that's fine. Take Sheila with you to get answers." he commands. Cherry nods and agrees.
We split up as we leave his office. Cherry goes to find my mom and I go to sit with Ink to wait for church. "So how are things with Cherry?" Ink asks. "Really good. She is an amazing woman. Smart as a tack, you see in church when Mayhem asks about her idea. I am going to marry that woman." I reply. "That's great, bro. I am so happy for you. Am I going to be your best man?" he asks smirking. "Of course," I reply as my dad walks out and calls everyone to church. I see Mom and Cherry heading downstairs as I get up to go to church. He goes over everything he already told me. Then he brings up Cherry's business plan. It passes unopposed. We agreed to either a 70% to Cherry and 30% to us split and we pay 25% of the cost and provide helpers. The other one we agreed on is 80% to Cherry and 20% to us but she pays for all start-up costs, and we provide workers. They guys agreed to both of these, just need to see which Cherry agrees to. He also filled everyone in on MaryAnn is gone from strikes but stays in a cell until Alejandro is dealt with. No chance of another Daisy situation. He calls the church to an end.
When we walk out and see Mom and Cherry sitting together. Dad and I join them. "How did it go with go with MaryAnn?" Dad asks. "It went as well as expected. She is definitely gone when Alejandro is dealt with. We also need to warn other clubs about her. The girl has some serious issues. Thinks she's God's gift and that the world owes her. She admits she will do whatever she needs to do to get a biker ol' man to take care of her for life. She also admitted to poking holes in condoms before guys use them to try to trap them. So, she is sitting in a cell waiting to be kicked. Sweetbutts will be taking her food and drinks, nothing else. They need to learn what happens if they think they can keep the bullshit drama up." Mom replies with an evil smile. Cherry laughs at Mom's antics. "I think that is devilishly smart, my love," Dad says and kisses Mom. "Cherry, the guys voted unanimously for your business project. Now you just need to decide if you want a 70/30 split, and we pay 25% of the cost and provide helpers or an 80/20 split but you pay for all start-up costs, and we provide workers. Either way is fine with us." Dad tells her. She whispers to me, "The larger split is mine, right?" I nod in response. "Well since I plan to spend the rest of my life with your son, Khaos your opinion?" she asks smirking. She knows that I wanted this to be her baby and I just support her. "I think the smarter decision as a business runner is to do the 70/30 split. That way the club is helping with 25% of the start-up and running of the business cost." I tell her. She smiles and kisses me, "I knew you were smart. I already figured to go that way for the same reason." she replies. "Okay, I will have our lawyer draw up the papers. We will go out here in a few after I hear from Pablo's men the first time and mark the land. You can have Steve, our contractor, start working on everything after Alejandro is dealt with. Khaos can take you in to apply for your licenses after the land is marked off. We can get the ball rolling." Mayhem says smiling. Cherry gives all of us an award-winning smile. I am so glad we could make her happy.
