Chapter 12

Tank

Two days ago I saw Lug going around to several of my brothers asking them to come to a bar just on the outside of town called Harry’s. I have been there a few times. It isn’t a bad place and is on neutral ground. Doesn’t matter what colors you wear, you are welcome as long as you don’t start shit. It isn’t one our usual haunts so I’m curious as to why Lug wanted damn near half the club to come here. The only thing I heard him say was that there was something he wanted to show them. For months I have been trying to find out what is going on with my club but not a single person that knows will tell me shit. I know it involves Lilly. She has been heavily guarded in the club house and she always has a brother and a prospect with her. But tonight I’m hoping that whatever Lug Nut has to show my brothers will tell me what is going on.

That is why I’m at Harry’s tonight. To get some answers. When I finally managed to get through the door which was a lot harder than I thought. They had a fucking line down the building. I look around and see this place is packed to the walls. There is barely breathing room. Harry’s can be a busy place but never this busy and never on a Thursday night. I try to make my way through the wall of bodies to the bar when a waitress sees me “ The rest of your crew is over there.” she says pointing over her shoulder. I look where she is pointing. Sure enough in the back corner my club has taken up two large horseshoes shaped booths. I nod my thanks and head over there. When I get there I can see the surprise on everyone’s face. They didn’t expect me to be there. Most know I wasn’t invited. Prez looks at me “ What are you doing here, Tank?” “ I heard a bunch of you were coming to check the place out. Decided to see what the big deal was.” I say. “ You need to” Trina starts to say when Prez cuts her off. “ Just sit down and don’t do shit.” he says and shoves a chair in my direction. Whatever is going on can’t be club business if the ol’e ladies are here, can it? What was so important that Lug wanted half the club here and old ladies?

Before I can ask any questions the band starts up. I look up and see Lug Nut center stage. I knew he goofed around with music but I didn’t think he actually sang for anyone. I don’t know much about country music but he isn’t half bad. I order a beer from a passing waitress and listen to Lug sing two songs. Is this what he wanted to show them? I mean he is ok but why all the secrecy. When Lug steps back another guy steps up and sings a rock song. While the guy is singing, Lug comes to our table. “ Prez, thanks for coming man.” Prez nods “ You said you had something you wanted us to see. I’ll admit you weren’t bad but I get the feeling you want us to see something else.” “ Yea, brothers.” Lug says looking around the tables. He is smiling until he sees me. He definitely doesn’t want me there.

“ I’m leaving after my beer.” I told him. The guy on stage finishes his song then tells the bar “ This next one I need help with. You think we can get Songbird to help me out?” I don’t know who the guy is talking about and I don’t care. I just want to have my beer and get out of here. But the crowd goes fucking apeshit. I’m not the only one who notices. My club is looking around like these people have lost their everloving minds.

Lug tells Prez “ Just pay attention to center stage.” Then the guy asks again “ I don’t know if she heard you. Do you think Songbird should help me out?” The whole place, waitresses and the bartender go nuts again just louder. Then a spot light hit a curtain I didn’t notice before. I can see the silhouette of a woman behind it. She raises her arm in the air and the crowd hollers like they are a rock concert. “ Alright, here we go.” the guy on stage says. Lug tells us “ Keep your eyes on the center stage. You will see what I wanted to show you.” then turns his back to us. The waitress brings my beer. I could care less what he has to show them. Clearly I’m not going to get any answers tonight. So I’m not paying attention. I hear the music start and a woman singing I think a Journey song. But that’s it. She isn’t that bad. “ Trina, get down” Thor says. “ Not until I have a better look.” Then Merigold asks “ Axel, am I seeing what I think I’m seeing.” Then Ace yells “ Holy fucking shit. Is that?” Now they have my attention so I look up at the stage just as Lug says “ Brothers, that is Songbird.” Before any of us can say another word the song ends. The guy she was singing with asks “ What do you think, Songbird? You got another one in you?” The crowd cheers her on. The band plays again, this time a slow tune. She starts singing and moves to the edge of the stage. The spotlights hit her. We all get a good view of her with the lights directly on her. Who Lug called Song Bird is fucking Lilly singing her heart out to a bar packed full of people. And they are eating it up.

“ Holy shit. She is good.” Thor says as we watch Lilly dance across the stage. I can’t look away.Good? Lilly is fucking awesome. “ You haven’t seen shit yet.” Lug says. “ Damn, who knew she had a hot body under those bulky clothes she wears.” Merigold says. And she isn’t wrong. Lilly is wearing what looks like a light blue bodysuit with gems on it that sparkle when the lights hit them. It hugs her body and pushes her large tits up for all to see. And a skirt if you can call it that. It looks like it is made of light blue and silver lace that goes to her knees and shows off her waist and every curve she has.She even has make-up on. I have never seen her with make-up She is fucking hot as hell.But what puts it all together is Lilly’s smile. It lights up the room without the aid of the stage lights. The song ends and Lilly leans back with her arms above her head and leans back. The next thing I know someone is helping her put a guitar strap on. Lug takes off for the stage and yells into a mic I didn’t see him with “ Who is ready for a battle?” Before the crowd can answer Lilly starts playing the guitar. A guy with another guitar steps up to her and the two start playing ‘Life is a Highway’ with Lug Nut singing. Lug is good but it is Lilly and the other guy who are stealing the show. First they are back to back playing. Then when the solo hits they are facing egging each other on. I have to admit it is fun to watch. I can see why the crowd goes nuts.

“ How did we not know she could sing?Or play the guitar like this?” Merigold asks. Good question. How did we not know she could do this? I know why I didn’t know, but the rest? The battle ends and the crowd including the club cheer. Merigold and Trina are whistling. Lug asks Lilly “ Song Bird, how about you slow it down for us a bit.” She just nods and steps center stage. The lights dim except on Lilly. She is a shining star. My focus is all on her. I don’t know the song but it is sweet and tender. The ol’e ladies must know it because they are tearing up. This song has some serious high notes and Lilly is sticking them like a champ. When she is done Trina and Merigold go nuts standing on their seats whistling. The stage goes black for a second before we hear a drum beat. They guys in the crowd got fucking nuts. Almost jumping out of their seats. Even I know this song. It is `` Do You Wanna Touch Me” by Joan Jett. Lilly sings and shakes her delectable ass across the stage fueling the men. Hell, my dick is pressing against my zipper so hard I think it might tear through. I hear a few men shout “ Yea, baby shake that ass.”

I have to hold a growl but my brothers have no problem letting them out. They are not happy about strange men shouting out things to Lilly. At one point Lilly is on her knees for a second in the next beat she hops up and is doing some hip popping thing. She is walking sex on a stick up there. I don’t like it one bit. These fuckers shouldn’t be looking at her like that.Unfortunately there is not a damn thing I can do about it.
