Killer (The Satan Sniper's Motorcycle Club book 5) novel Chapter 24

Time always has a way of flying by so fast, one moment we are crying and next laughing.

My momma told me it was the way of the universe trying to exist and time was the universe’s heart, which is why it beat.

“Kids grow up so fast, you need to catch the moment for as long as you can,” After says sitting next to me. With all her badass biker vibes she had going on and the hard, thick cord of muscles on her body, she was great with kids. It was a beautiful hot day, so we got Kaleb outside, and with Bull and Storm’s help we got our blanket set up and some beers for After. Eventually the rest of the bikers all came to join us and now it was a full on outdoor picnic. Storm, Spade and Snake were manning the grill and Venus and Hannah taking turns to top up drinks for everyone.

Killer and Frost were busy since stuff with the other MC wasn’t sorted out. I didn’t particularly know what was going on since the club didn’t see the need to share, but I knew negotiations didn’t go well, and Natasha was stuck here for a while longer.

She didn’t take the news well and after her and I had words about what she told me verses what she told them; we weren’t on talking terms. But I knew I wouldn’t stay mad at her for long.

So After and I have been spending a lot of time together, since she wasn’t keen on going out with the Pandemic getting worse. And also since her bedroom was next to mine, so when Kaleb cried she always joined me for his feeding. It was good to have the company. Today, we were playing the waiting game, to find out if Kanla was going to go on full lockdown.

“Well, yeah, but isn’t that the best part of having kids, is when they get older we can talk to them?” I ask her.

“Well, depends on the person. My parents were silent people, and my brother and I were there to be seen and not heard.”

“Where did you grow up?”

“Chicago moved to Connecticut when my dad lost his live on tour. Broke my mother’s heart and for years I watched her try to dig a whole deep enough so she could join him, but never worked. Eventually she just decided to fuck the world and took my dad’s shot and bang, dead. I was 21 at the time, but my brother was only 16. Got the message while I was in Korea, it was my first official tour as a lieutenant. Got back home, buried her, and left my brother at my Uncle’s place. Worse mistake I ever made.”

“What happened?”

Her brown eyes look at me, lost and sad. She turns her head and stares out into the river.

“He got shot. He survived, doctors said it was a miracle. So, he turned to God.”

“What’s so bad about turning to God?” I’m confused why this was a bad thing.

“I’m a killer, Sienna, it means he let me go.”

“Oh, that must suck.” I rack my brain trying to think of something to say that doesn’t comprise me talking about Diamond. After and I had a lot in common.
