“As long as he's in Griffin's Beach,” he mutters.

Again, everyone votes yes, although a few of the men seem a little hesitant. It appears Lex and Tess aren't the only women captivated by the large man in the main room.

“Okay, so, before we get too far into the dramatics of patching over the new club and letting Undertaker know he’s in, I want to let everyone know that I'm seeing Diane.”

Colt's eyes widen, and even Jennings can't figure out what this man is thinking. Ian leans forward. “My ex-stepdaughter, Diane? The one who almost ended a marriage?”

“A club bunny?” Patriot asks. “Seriously, dude?”

“Just... she's not a bunny anymore, okay? I don't think I need permission based on the laws and bylaws, but I want to make it known that she's not available to service anyone else. Got it?”

“You know this won't go over well with the women, right?” Ky asks and laughs. “Like, Lex will kill her. No, she'll actually kill you, and then she'll probably kill her.”

“I figure we'll have to ease into things, yeah,” he says. “That's all.”

Shaking his head, Jennings looks at Psycho. “Uh, P, can you call in the Hellraisers?”

“This day can't get much weirder,” Psycho mumbles and stands. Opening the door, he whistles. “Hellraisers, come in here. Undertaker, welcome to the club.”

“I get to prospect?” Undertaker's voice booms into the room.

“Actually, no. We're bypassing that and making you a member, so you should get your ass in here, too.”

West rolls his eyes and sighs as he slumps down further in his seat as everyone walks into the room. The man really doesn't like Undertaker.

When everyone forces their way into the room, Jennings knows they're going to have to figure out something else for meetings if they plan to continue to expand the club. “Finnegan, Mac, do either of you want to fill everyone in about what you brought to us the other day?”

Finnegan nods and steps forward. “Dax-”

“You want them to patch us over,” Dax says, cutting him off. “I’m not stupid.”

“Yes.”

“Everyone wants this?”

They watch everyone nod but avoid his gaze. The betrayal his men feel is evident, and Jennings can't imagine how it would feel to have his club request to be patched over, going over his head. He can only imagine how much of a slap in the face it feels.

“Okay,” Dax says and shrugs.

Psycho stares hard at him. “Okay?”

“Yeah, what the hell?”

“You're not angry?”

“No, not really.”

“Are you planning on walking?” Jennings asks.

“Is that part of the deal? You'll patch them over if I walk?”

He shakes his head. “No, but-”

“Then I'm here. Did you guys want me to step down or something?”

The lack of emotion from Dax doesn't sit well with Jennings, but he tries to think about how he would likely feel and act if Tess was taken from him. He can't really blame the guy. He'd be as lost as Dax seems.

“Do you guys feel like you need a reorg of the current officers?” VP asks.
