Insanity touched the stranger’s laugh. “Axel, Ryder, Ransom, where’s CJ?”
Axel and Ransom joined the other boys, creating a solid wall.
“You’re lucky we’d get our asses beat for cutting class, fuck nose,” Axel spat. “Otherwise, I’d tell Outlaw a strange motherfucker was harassing us.”
“My name’s Bash. I’m no longer a stranger.”
“We still don’t know your bitch-ass,” Mark JB said.
“You look like a fucking serial killer,” Ransom added.
“The way you looked at Harley was creepy,” Lou said.
“A name doesn’t make a fucking difference if we’ve never seen you before,” Ryder contributed.
“You a biker?” Rory asked.
“A biker?” Bash echoed. “What makes you say that?”
“This isn’t Mother Goose, motherfucker,” Ransom said. “So you’re not a fuckhead looking for Snow White. With a name like Bash, you’re either a fucking elf or a biker.”
“It’s a dwarf, dummy,” Axel said with disgust.
“Dwarf isn’t PC,” Ransom responded.
“Man, fuck PC,” Mark JB said. “We have a Leatherface motherfucker to deal with. Be politically correct after.”
“Don’t ruin my motherfucking fairytales, dick breath,” Axel ordered.
“Man, fuck off,” Ryder said, waving his hand in disgust. “You’re nothing but a bitch-ass baby if you still like fairytales. Where’s your fucking pacifier?”
Axel stepped out of the lineup, allowing Bash a clear view of Harley. “Say that to my fucking face, Blondie.”
“Dumb ass, get back in place. We have to hide Harley from this Texas Chainsaw Massacre motherfucker,” Ryder said.
“You like fairytales, Little Outlaw?” Bash asked before Axel responded to his brother.
“Little Outlaw?” Axel said in disbelief. “Not us, Ass. I mean,Bash. That’s CJ.”
Bash ignored Axel. “What’s your favorite fairytale?” he asked no one in particular.
“Mine’sThe Juniper Tree,” Rory announced.
The what?
“Kind of dark for Johnnie’s son,” Bash said, a smile in his voice. “But I appreciate your bravado.”
“I don’t have a stepmother or box of apples for you to reach into, so I can decapitate you. I’ll improvise.Bash,” Rory added. “Mister Not-A-Fucking-Biker.”
Bash pointed from Ryder to Rory. “You and your brother are hilarious.”
“Ro’s not my brother, stupid,” Ryder said. “His brother couldn’t attend our meeting. Be a decent fucking criminal and get your facts straight.”
“I’m sorry to disappoint you, Ryder Donovan,” Bash said gravely. “Johnnie is your father.”
Stunned silence followed the announcement. Harley searched for something to say, but couldn’t find the right words.
“Megan Caldwell isn’t as boring as she seems,” he continued. “She gave pussy to Johnnie and pushed his kid out of her cunt. She also killed a motherfucker to save Outlaw.”
