“Not a boy! It’s a girl! And she’s gonna give you complete hell, and I’m gonna help her slip out of the house to go fuck her boyfriend just to drive you crazy!”
“We bettin’?” He grinned up at me.
“I’m gonna kick your AAAAAAHHHH!”
Yeah. Not my finest moment.
Our son, Kurt, was born at three in the morning on Christmas Eve. Child was close to ten pounds of screaming, demanding, baby boy. I loved him from the moment I first held him. Hardest thing I ever had to do in my life was watch the man that baby had grown into disappear much the same way Pops and I had. He severed all ties with us. It wasn’t until decades later we were reunited with a part of my son. Celeste Pleasant and her daughter -- our granddaughter and great granddaughter -- would come back into our lives. Thanks to some old friends.
And another devil.
Yeah. Life has funny ways of sneaking up on you.
So what did the future hold for us? We helped build a motorcycle club from a bunch of ragtag veterans to a force to be reckoned with.
But it wasn’t just us.
Rylan “Ry” Gill would become president of Bones MC. He and his woman had one son, Joe Gill, who eventually took the name Cain and made a great MC president in his own right. He also started the company ExFil, a paramilitary organization that specialized in protection and extraction. That company, along with a bar called the Boneyard, kept the club financed well.
Ian “Mac” McGregor became vice president of Bones for a while. When drugs started moving steadily from Florida to Kentucky and Ohio, Mac took a few members of Bones to Palm Beach, Florida to start his own club. Mac was going to make it a second chapter of Bones MC but thought they’d be too far away to make that relationship work. So he started a new club and named it Salvation’s Bane. Most members of Bane worked for ExFil, including Mac’s son, Colin, who took the name Thorn. Thorn would go on to become president of Salvation’s Bane.
Alex and Gracie’s son, Abraham, had a son named Derrick. He took the name Shadow and became a patched member of Bones. Along the way, in Oklahoma, he would befriend a scruffy kid named Stunner. Stunner would catch the attention of a young El Diablo. Liam took over for his father as El Diablo, The Devil, for the Brotherhood. I have no proof, but I’m pretty sure Liam intended for Stunner to replace him since he had no male children. At least, not at the time. Stunner married Cain’s daughter, Suzie, and later became sergeant at arms of Bones after Bohannon left to start a sister chapter in Nashville.
Liam Rodrigues did indeed follow in his father’s footsteps, becoming the most feared assassin in the world. He held the title of El Diablo longer than anyone in the history of the Brotherhood. Liam was also the man to put a crack in the mystique of the Brotherhood. As of the present day, the organization that once ruled the world from the shadows was splintering and warring with itself. Which suits El Diablo fine. They leave him and his city alone. They leave all those El Diablo claims as his alone.
Mitch Bohannon had a son, Gage Bohannon. Bohannon became sergeant at arms for Bones after Cain took over as president.
Gerald “Mo” Ferguson’s son, Gavin “Torpedo” Ferguson, became vice president of Bones under Cain.
Mason Gray, or Gray, was a loyal member of Bones until his death. His son, Lars “Sword” Gray, became an enforcer in Bones.
Luca Romano eventually helped to found a company called Argent Tech with two of his closest friends and colleagues. They became some of the richest men in the world as well as vigilantes in their home city of Rockwell, Illinois. His son became one of the leading tech geniuses in the world. Giovanni Romano, along with Alexi Petrov and Azriel Ivanovich, would become known as the Shadow Demons.
Me and Pops? Well, we went home to Bones. We try to keep a close watch on all our children. They span over several clubs now. Iron Tzars MC might not have been able to recruit Pops back in the day, but they managed to work their way into our lives a few decades later. Shadow Demons, Salvation’s Bane, Black Reign, and Grim Road round out our family, though Grim Road is one of those children who keeps to themselves for the most part. They’re loners, every one of their members Black Ops. Some of them were buried in their cover so deep the government forgot about them, making integrating back into society nearly impossible. Most of them would be killed for what they know. A few would get everyone they’d ever met killed if the wrong people found out who they were, that they were still alive, and what they’d done that classified them as Black Ops.
