right by them. I hope she would approve of Sunshine...I think she would, Red wasn't the kind of woman to judge a person, she loved me good, bad, ugly didn't matter she wanted every piece of me that was true. Though if she were here she'd knock out any bitch that tried to even look at me, I laugh to myself as I see Betty sitting at the bar and I remember the look on her face when Red put her in her place.
"What's so funny?" Sunshine wraps her arms around me and reaches me a jar of shine. It seems surreal in this moment to be here in this room again celebrating surrounded in pink; I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.
"Nothing," I kiss her and decide it's time to share my news...our news.
Getting everyone's attention, "First, I want to wish my kid a happy birthday, may all her wishes come true." I look over to Baby and see her nestled right between Rebel and Striker like the meat in a sandwich, fuck no . I grit my teeth and decide to finish what I started before I put an end to that shit. "I have some news to share, Inkman hope you brought your gun with ya. I have a few new tats to get and so does Sunshine." It takes my brothers a minute to understand the meaning behind my statement. After a few congratulations and watching Foxie drink herself into oblivion, Slim tells me that he and I have a lot to discuss. I know he isn't happy that I went behind his back to bring Sarah home, but I had to do what I had to do.
I send the girls home so the adults can party, and so Sunshine and I can get our new ink. For the first time in a long motherrfuckin' time I feel at peace and like I am home where I belong.
LL comes over and hugs my neck thanking me for bringing her man home safe and sound. I talk to her about Betty. I don't like the bitch and don't want her hanging around here, so LL offers to give her Sunshine's room at the Fox's Den. I think it will be a perfect fit for her. Inkman adds two new teardrops to my chest for Benji and Squirrel. Sunshine and I get matching skull tattoos on our ring fingers to signify our union. I know she probably hates that I have a portrait of Red on my back, but I will never change it or have it removed, Red will always be a part of me, it is something she is going to have to live with. However, I don't want her to think she isn't just as special to me, so I am having Inkman design a sun with her name in it. I didn't want Sunshine to have a brand that looks just like Red's so he is designing something special for her; he said it will signify my claim on her. The only hint he is giving is that it will have to do with finding light in the darkness.
While Inkman finishes Sunshine's skull on her finger, I join Slim for some darts. "Look man, I know you aren't happy that I went behind your back to bring Sarah home. Nothing-personal brother, I didn't want to preach it to the choir and have it up for discussion. Someone was aiding Benji from the inside and giving him a heads up every time I found his location. Had to make sure this time was different."
"It's all good brother," he shakes my hand. "I have some information for you on that, the mole was Blaze; motherfucker had been feeding information to the Rejects and the Disciples for years under our noses. Going to put it to vote to strip him of his patch tomorrow at choir, you will get a chance to voice your opinion on what else fate holds for him then." We stop talking business and enjoy the rest of the night after I tell him about Betty. He agrees that it is the best choice for now. He is going to tell Foxie about Squirrel later in private.
The following day at choir Slim preaches to the brothers and me about Blaze and his betrayal. It is a unanimous decision to strip him of his patch. The choice to make him go cold is harder than I thought; I have known him a long time. He really played me for a fool. He twisted and turned things and made them look as though my oldest friend was betraying our club and me. Not being able to ride and losing
