Kim sent Ice a text. "Dunno where you are, but I hope you're safe. I really need you right now." She got no response from Ice. The next day she took her dad to make burial arrangements for her funeral. Afterwards, Kim sat in her window seat in her old bedroom. Still no response from Ice. She decided to send him another text. "Nanna passed away. Wish you were here with me. Stay safe." Two more days passed with no response from Ice. The funeral was finally here. Her dad's boss's son walked with her and sat with her at the funeral. They were grooming him to take over the business. He's shown interest in her in the past, but Kim always turned him down. He's a nice guy, but she had no feelings towards him at all.ICE'S POINT OF VIEW He got Kim's messages, but couldn't reply. The job the government had him do this time was hard for him to complete. In the past he just acted like a machine. This time it was difficult because he kept thinking what would Kim think about him if she kne
The girls meet at Sam's house. "Please don't go. I'm sure a job will open up soon." Raine begged. "And you don't need to pay any rent until you have a steady job." Sam explained. "Besides my income more than pays all the bills." "Thanks, but I need to move on. Too many painful memories here." Kim replied. "My mind is made up." "This is all because of the shit Ice pulled, isn't it?" Raine asked. "Partly. Look, I'm packed and tomorrow I'm picking up my last check and then driving home. When I get there, I'll make sure I let y'all know I arrived safely." Kim replied. "But this is your home." Sam argued. "Not anymore." Kim replied. Raine returned to the clubhouse very upset. Jax and Ice were sitting at the bar. She went over to them. "You! This is all your fault and I hope you're proud of yourself now! Asshole!" Raine yelled. "What now?" Ice asked. "Kim's leaving and moving back home! I'm losing one of my best friends who I consider a sister! "I know you care about her
The ladies make Kim feel right at home. The food was good to. They laughed and told her stories about the MC and how Raven and Tank got together. Kim didn’t mention her MC as she still didn’t know if they were rivals. Besides, she's leaving that life. "Ok, so I know the cut and highlights you need to do tonight, but I was wondering if you would stay and fix my hair for the wedding tomorrow?" Raven asked."Sure, why not. I have nothing waiting for me at home." Kim replied. Raven hugged her. "You don't know how much this means to me! You ever need anything, I owe you. It's called a marker. And you can call it in for anything, anytime." Raven explained. BACK AT VET MC Raine went to Jax's office. "Jax?" Raine asked. "Yes baby?" Jax asked. "Something is wrong. Kim never got to her parents’ house. She left over 5 hours ago to pick up her last check and hasn't been heard from or seen since." Raine explained. "Is she not answering her cell?" Jax asked. "No. Jax I'm worried. This is n
BACK AT JOKERS MC Kim finished Raven's hair and she was ecstatic over it. "You are a genius! So, I hate to ask, but the girls are begging me to ask if you would style their hair for the wedding tomorrow?" Raven asked. “Sure, why not." Kim smiled. "And would you please stay for the wedding?" Raven begged. "Yeah, I can do that. I have nothing else to do. Nothing waiting for me." Kim agreed. "Ah come on. A gorgeous woman like you has no man?" Raven asked. "Recent break up." Kim explained. "Girlfriend tell me all about it." Raven replied. Kim told her what happened, leaving out the MC part. "I know what's wrong, you need a real man, a biker!" Raven smiled. "Umm, have you heard of the Veterans MC?" Kim asked. "Of course. Their Prez is Bear's son Jax." Raven replied. "Are y'all rivals?" Kim asked. "God no. We're allies as far as I know. Our clubs have coexisted peacefully since Blackjack took over almost 40 years ago. Now his son took over and is following in his footsteps. He
"Ok. It was a misunderstanding, no harm no foul. We can let this go. I'll move all my men out." Jax replied. "Appreciate it brother. Just know I owe you one." BJ Jr. replied. "Ok. Let's go." Jax ordered. "I'm not going." Kim stated. "Oh yes you are." Ice replied. "No, I am not! I promised Raven and her bridesmaids I would do their hair tomorrow for her wedding." Kim replied. "It's ok Kim." Raven replied. "No, it's not. I made a promise to do your hair and your bridesmaids, and I intend on keeping it." Kim replied. "You aren't staying here." Ice replied. "Yes I am. We’re over remember? You have no say so over me! Then tomorrow I'm going home to my parents’ house." Kim explained. "We will talk about that later. But I am not leaving here without you." Ice warned. "Ice, if it's ok with Kim you are welcome to stay with her. I have promised her no harm would come to her as she's under my protection." BJ Jr replied. "Are you leaving with me now?" Ice asked. "Nope." Kim replied.
Ice had the prospects carry her stuff to his room. "If you want a waitress job at the bar until you find another salon, I could set you up." Raine replied. "It's looking like I'm going to have to find a new profession." Kim replief. "Is there really nowhere you could work? I know how much you love it. And you are amazing at it! The best in the area in my opinion." Raine replied. "Yeah, it's all I've ever wanted to do. But I love Ice more, and I love being near my best friends." Kim replied. "How hard would it be to have your own salon?" Raine asked. "I'd love to but afraid that's not happening. It takes a lot of money that I don't have. And I'm not asking my parents." Kim replied. "There are business loans." Sam replied. "What about Ice?" Raine asked. "What about Ice?" Ice asked. The girls jumped as they were so engrossed in their conversation, they hadn't heard him come up behind them. "I was asking Kim about her opening her own Salon." Raine explained. "That's a great id
"This was your first club anyway." Vixen replied. "I'm too old to prospect." Crash begun. "You wouldn't have to. They are the same charter, you'd just transfer." Vixen explained. "Why can't you move in with me?" Crash asked. "I've been running for a while. I miss my son. My first grandchild is about to be born. I don't want to miss a minute of it. I want to be here for them and his or her childhood." Vixen explained. "Anthony, don't make me choose between my son and grandson, or you. You know who I'd have to choose." Vixen pleaded. "Impossible situations. Story of my life." Crash sighed. JAX AND RAINE "I feel like a beached whale!! Raine complained. "You look gorgeous! That's our baby in there. Now are you ready for my big surprise?" Jax asked. "You know I am." Raine replied. They got in Jax's truck. "Why are we taking your truck? My Buick is much nicer and easier for me to get in." Raine muttered. "I'm just taking advantage of the last few days we have and can be in my t
They opened the doors and there was a line of people who crowded in. Half of it was the MC, but the other half are Kim's long time customers. After about thirty minutes Ginger came over to Kim. "Ok so I already got the first two weeks booked. I know you said only walk ins today, but some are begging to make an appointment to make sure you get them in today." Ginger replied. "Just tell them to sign in, and I will get to them. But 7pm is my cut off. No names added after that. As that time frame will put me in here till probably midnight." Kim explained. "Ok boss." Ginger replied. "Please. Just Kim." Kim pleaded. "You can call me boss." Ice grinned. Kim smacked him in the chest shaking her head no. "Hey, don't get funny with my Old lady!" I.T. warned. "Ok enough! I gotta get back to hair. Now all of you scoot and make yourself useful. Help Ginger with customers and help make them comfortable while they wait. We're gonna be here awhile!" Kim commanded. "I'll get the drinks." Rain
