Chapter 1

Tyler stripped out of his work suit and looked at himself in the mirror. He ran his hand through his light hair, and rubbed a small patch of skin on his chest that wasn’t covered in ink. He had been saving that spot for years but hadn’t figured out what to cover it with. He shook his head and pulled on a pair of worn jeans and a long sleeve shirt. He pulled his Clan cut over the shirt. It felt good to be dressed properly.

He packed a few things in his bike satchel. The Clan was going on a weekend ride. It had been a while since they had been out together. Between Brian’s wedding, Brett’s engagement, and everyone’s schedules, it had been almost impossible to get the whole group together. Tyler had been itching to get out on the road. He enjoyed his job, it made him think, and it gave him enough discretionary income that he was able to indulge his love for motorcycles, but what he truly wanted, was to be on the road.

There was something about the openness of being on the bike that made everything fade away.

His phone buzzed in his pocket. It was Brett. Hey, man, Tyler said as he answered.

Hey. You all set to go? There was rustling in the background which made it clear that Brett’s girlfriend was helping him pack.

Yep. We’re still meeting at the shop?

Yeah. We’re going to need to make a stop on the way to our…end destination. They hadn’t decided where their stopping point was. They had mapped a few areas they didn’t want to go into because of other motorcycle clubs.

Where are we stopping? Tyler leaned his head against his shoulder to hold the phone in place while he put his toothbrush and some deodorant in a tiny bag and tossed it on top of his knapsack.

At the university. Mary called and she wanted us to swing by on the way through.

The way through?

Okay, it’s a little out of the way, but I haven’t seen her since I got engaged to April and I wanted to tell her in person.

Dude, it’s been a month. You haven’t told her you’re engaged? She’s going to kill you, man. Tyler hadn’t seen Mary in quite a while. He thought about it; it must have been years. Brett’s adorable sister was the absolute opposite of Brett, totally innocent. And she would be pissed as hell when she found out that Brett had kept his engagement from her for a month.

Yeah, so that’s why we need to stop over there.

Alright, dude. No problem. It’ll be good to see Mary.

Brett laughed. She will probably freak out. She had the biggest crush on you when we were teenagers.

Tyler laughed. Yeah she did. Alright, go finish packing. Don’t be late.

Yeah, yeah. Brett hung up and Tyler pocketed his phone.

He finished packing and strapped the bags to the motorcycle. He jammed the keys in the ignition
