We’re like night and day in every way. He has blond hair, I don’t. He has a wife and kids, I don’t. He likes people, I don’t.

“You look just like your old man.”

“How are you, Uncle Kev?” He chuckles.

“Why are you here? Your daddy ain’t tell you my rules?”

“He did, but you’re coming home, and I wanted to have a talk with you.”

I sit back in my seat. This little fucker has balls. He reminds me of me and Cage when we were coming up.

I failed my brother. I should have been around for him and his boy.

“So, you think you have balls because you’re running shit? When I say I don’t want my family coming to see me in here, I mean that shit.”

He shrugs his shoulders. “You can kick my ass when you’re on this side.”

“Careful what you ask for. What do you want, King?”

“When you leave here, you have an entirely new life waiting for you. I’m here to make sure we’re on the same page. I can’t have you pushing to change everything back to the way it was,” he says with a straight as fuck face.

I lean in toward the glass and narrow my eyes at him. This kid obviously doesn’t know who he’s talking to. I ran the entire Lost Souls MC before getting thrown in here. Every chapter answered to me. I’ll be damned if his pissant ass comes in here giving me orders.

“Careful, King.”

“No disrespect. I know you and my father have your differences. I get that you have your way of thinking, but the Lost Souls have never been more successful.”

“Yet I have one of your problems in here with me.” I lift a brow.

He gives another shrug. “Do with that shit what you want. And actually, that was a problem caused by you. Consider it an offering.”

I pull a hand down my beard. This boy doesn’t know me. No one does. They think they do, but they don’t.

“You don’t have to worry about me, kid. When I get out of here, I want a beer, a sweet young thing to warm my bed, and to mind my fucking business.”

King nods. “I’ll have all of that waiting for you. But minding your business might be hard. I don’t think my old man is going to let that happen for too long.”

I snort. “You leave your daddy to me.”

I stare at my nephew. I wish I were around more to get to know him. He’s smart as fuck from what I hear. Maybe having a family around won’t be so bad.

“Tell Trooper I said thanks.” King tilts his head to the side. I grin to myself. I know more in here than everyone out there. “Never thought it would be a cop to get me my walking papers.”

“Former cop. I’ll pass that along.”

“Now get the fuck out of here. I’ll see you on the other side.”

He smiles. “See you on the other side, Uncle Kev.”

“That’s Prez to your ass.”

He gives me a cocky smile. “Right, Prez. See you on the other side.”
