Chapter Fourteen

Storm finished her day long tattoo session completing the large back piece. She decided that she wanted to tattoo herself, adding a quote to her wrist. She quickly drew a stencil for the delicate font she had chosen and got ready. "You tattooing yourself?" Freddie asked as he sat next to her. "Yeah, thought I'd put a quote on my wrist." Storm answered. "What's the quote?" Freddie asked. "You will hold the gun and I will hand you the bullets." (R.M. Drake). Storm answered as she laid the stencil onto her right wrist watching Freddie nod slowly. "It's an extract from a quote about love and how hard it is for someone to love me, saying it will be war but there is a beauty to it." Storm explained as she started tattooing herself. "You always tattoo yourself?" Freddie asked. "Yeah, I did my own ribs. Not into being tattooed by other people really." Storm answered as she wiped some of the excess black ink away.

"That looks amazing. At least let me wrap it for you." Freddie offered as Storm finished cleaning her new ink. "Thanks Freddie." Storm said as he wrapped it for her. She quickly cleaned everything up, helping Freddie close up before getting in her truck and heading for the clubhouse.

Storm pulled into TM just as the guys were all getting on their bikes, getting ready to head out. She got out of the truck knowing it wasn't good as she saw Gemma standing in the office doorway. She made her way over to Gemma and standing beside her, watching as one by one each Son pulled out of the lot.

"It's bad isn't it, this shit with the Mayans?" Storm asked Gemma watching the gate. "Yes baby it is." Gemma answer pulling her into her side. "Don't worry. They'll take care of it. You should go home and get some sleep, you still look exhausted." Gem told Storm. "Yeah, I'll see you later Gem." Storm answered. "Night." Gem answered as Storm walked back over to her truck and got in, heading home.

Storm woke a few hours later, hearing the door creak open, she quickly sat up seeing Juice making his way in trying to be quiet but failing miserable. She quickly noticed his blood splattered clothing and the bruising to his face. Juice started to strip, first his cut, followed by his rings, gun and knife then his clothes. Storm sat up and got out of bed. "You need to get cleaned up." Storm said quietly, taking Juice's hand and leading him through to the bathroom. She quickly got a flannel and ran it under the cold water before putting it on Juice's bruising cheek wiping away the dirt.

"New ink?" Juice asked noticing the wrap as she pressed over his cheek making sure nothing was broken. "Yeah, nothing appears to be broken. Now I'm going back to bed." Storm smiled as she told him before turning around, walking out and getting back in her bed. Juice quickly followed, turning off the lights and slid in next to her, pulling her close to him so his chest was against her back and his arm was around her waist.

Storm woke, quickly shutting off her alarm, and checked that Juice was still asleep which he was. She quickly got out of bed and made her way into the bathroom, getting showered and ready for work. She walked back into her room, picking up Juice's bloody clothes and taking them to the laundry, and throwing them into the wash. Storm walked into the kitchen with Cash and Nell in front of her, to see Tig sitting at the table with a cup of coffee in front of him. "Morning Dad." Storm said quietly. "Morning baby. I'm going to take you to work today. Either me or another club member will pick you up." Tig told Storm quietly, as she could see the worry on his face. "Alright Dad. I finish at 8 tonight." Storm answered feeding the dogs. "Make sure you keep your prepay with you at all times." Tig stated as Storm grabbed her bag and nodded. "Anything you want to tell me?" Storm asked. "Just got some things going down with the Mayans." Tig answered. "Ok. Lets go then." Storm said picking up her keys to lock up. Tig stood up, putting his cup in the sink and walked out with Storm following behind him.

They pulled up at St Thomas and Storm got off. "I love you Storm." Tig said solemnly. "I love you too Dad." Storm said hugging him. "Be safe." Storm told him before walking into the hospital knowing that something big was happening which unsettled her.
