Glock (The Bad Disciples MC #4)

Chapter 1
Glock
“Fuck!” Axel growled. He was pacing the floor of the bar, back and forth, up and down again; while the rest of us stood in attention, watching him grumble to himself. It wasn’t often that Axel, our MC Captain, lost his temper. I had always respected his ability to remain calm in the middle of the biggest shit storm. This was probably the worst shit storm I’d seen since I was a prospect with The Bad Disciples.
We had been trying to reduce the Dark Knights’ prostitution ring to rubble for the past year and a half, and every time, after every shootout; that we believed we got them this time, the fuckers somehow rose up again.
Prostituting women, selling them in the flesh trade; were strictly against the rules and the code of our conduct. As a motorcycle club, we had abided by this law since establishment. The Dark Knights, on the other hand, had taken matters into their own hands. They gave two shits to any moral code. They had been using and abusing women for the past two years right under our noses.
Over the past year and a half, we had rescued at least thirty women from their grasp, and now word on the street was that they had captured and imprisoned at least twenty more. What the fuck was going on? How the hell were they able to grab twenty more, without us knowing? That was what Axel wanted to know, and we had no answers for him.
“Another fucking shootout, you boys are not doing your job well or at all!” he barked, and his voice fell like a bag of cement on our shoulders. My brothers and I were standing with our heads hanging low, trying to find an explanation.
The Dark Knights got another one of our shipments, shooting at us in the dark while Hunter, Gunner, Tank and I were overseeing the unloading of weapons at the docks. Luckily, no one got shot this time around, but we had almost lost all of the guns in the process. The Dragon Knights were retaliating for the shootouts we had conducted when we rescued a hoard of women from their capture. Those women were supposed to be sold off in the flesh trade within the week. They’d been very close to making a neat profit, and we’d scrambled their plan. Then, we rested easy thinking that the Dark Knights had no manpower and no resources to get back on their feet again.
“They keep fucking shooting at us like we’re a bunch of sitting fucking ducks!” Axel growled, and he came up close to Gunner’s face, and Gunner looked him in the eye.
“Are we fucking sitting ducks? Are we?” he yelled, and some spittle flew out of Axel’s mouth and landed on Gunner’s face.
“No,” he replied in a firm voice, but I could see it on my brother’s face that he was beginning to blame himself. This had all started when we rescued his woman, Brooklyn, from the Dark Knights’ newly blossoming prostitution ring, and it hadn’t stopped since.
“One of these days, one of you is going to get fucking killed, and I’ll have to put on a suit and go to the fucking funeral. I fucking hate funerals!” Axel continued screaming and walked over to the bar counter and picked up his abandoned bottle of beer.
We watched in silence as he emptied the beer down his throat and then wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.
“You boys need to do your job!” he looked at us again, and pointed his finger at me, Hunter, Gunner, Tank, and Sniper. We were his elite crew, his right-hand men, the highest in the hierarchy of the MC. Which also meant, that every failure was our responsibility.
“We need to figure out what’s helping them get back up on their feet after every raid we conduct,” I decided to speak up, and Axel squinted his eyes and then strode towards me threateningly. I clenched my jaw, he looked like he was going to punch me in the face for daring to speak. But someone had to say something. We couldn’t all just keep standing there and listen to Axel lose his mind.
“You should have fucking figured that out a year ago!” he barked right in my face, and I nodded my head, accepting his criticism. “What do they call you Grapevine Glock for if you’re not collecting this information about them?” he continued, and I hung my head in shame again. I shouldn’t have said anything.
Axel was right though, I had a reputation. I was good at making friends, at chatting drunk bikers up and extracting information that they didn’t want to give. I was the eyes and the ears of the Bad Disciples, and I always took pride in getting all the information I could. My secret weapon was the groupies. My brothers saw me as a no-strings-attached womanizer who fucked every groupie who hung around our MC and every other MC in Long Beach. They underestimated my libido. Groupies were like housekeepers, they know every dark and dirty secret, you just need to find a way of extracting it. I knew exactly how to do it, by making them scream my name.
“You’re going to fucking do your job,” Axel barked again and then looked at the other members of the MC. “All of you are going to do your job and stop these assholes. That’s an order!” he continued and a buzz of agreement pulsated around the bar.
“And you!” he narrowed his eyes at me again. “You go out there and live up to your name. Find out what’s going on, what they’re planning. Maybe this time, we can stay one step ahead of them before we end up losing one of our men,” Axel’s voice relaxed a little. He was returning to normal, his outburst had run its course.
I nodded my head and watched him return to his bar stool at the counter before I turned to my brothers.
Gunner ran a hand through his hair and shook his head.
“Axel is right, we need to put an end to this,” he mumbled, as we huddled together around our usual table at the bar. Hunter and Tank muttered too, everyone seemed to be in a daze. In the last shootout against the Dark Knights, each of us had barely escaped with our lives, most of them were sporting bullet wounds and bruises.
“Something has to give,” I said.

By the time I stumbled up the stairs to the corridor leading to my apartment, I was piss drunk. Tonight, of all nights, was a night to get drunk. We had spent hours at the bar, discussing and then forgetting our trail of thought. The next day was time to get back to work, but tonight, we were going to celebrate that we’d survived the latest shootout.
The keys jiggled in my hands as I walked down the dark corridor. My apartment was a private space where I slept and fucked women, that was all. I hadn’t bothered with finding a big apartment or buying all this fancy furniture and shit for it. What would I need that for? I ate at the Rusty Pelican, and I spent no more than six hours a night at my apartment.
The closer I got to the door, the more my eyes adjusted in the dark. It was only when I was a few steps away from the door that I caught sight of Gili on the floor. She was sitting with her back to my door, chewing gum and twirling a lock of hair around her forefinger.
“Hello sweetheart,” she said with a smirk, and I felt exhausted the moment I looked at her.
I used to think she was the hottest piece of ass around. She had a weakness for fishnet stockings and really tiny denim shorts. Her nails were always perfectly manicured and long, leaving scratch marks on my back when she came. I’d fucked her too many times now to notice these things about her anymore.
“Gili, it’s fucking late,” I said, fumbling a little with my words. I slid the key into my door and turned it, and when I pushed open the door, Gili fell back on the floor and giggled loudly.
“I’ve been waiting and waiting for you to get back, where have you been?” she said, and I stepped over her stretched out body and entered my dark apartment.
“Where do you think?” I said and threw my keys over to the couch, but it landed on the floor somewhere with a clang. I was in t
he middle of taking off my leather jacket when I sensed her stand up and follow me into my apartment.
“But it’s Friday, you were supposed to come looking for me, not hang around with the boys at the Rusty Pelican!” she said, and I could hear an accusatory tone in her voice. I’d been fucking her for two years now, every other week, and suddenly I was worried that she was growing attached.
“It’s not like we have a deal or nothing,” I snapped at her and walked over to the kitchen sink and poured myself a glass of water.
