Ryder: A Wings of Diablo MC Novel by Rae Lake (drm ebook reader .TXT) 📕

called to Prez. “Are you kidding me, is that the Wings?” He smiled brightly before he basically ran over to where we were standing pulling a heavily confused Prez into a real hug. “Holy shit, how have you boys been? What is this?”

Wire looked around, this meeting was going as far left as anyone would have thought. We figured maybe he would be upset that he was being blackmailed, or maybe he would try to have us killed, or maybe he would cry and beg, we thought everything but not this.

“You know us?” Wire asked.

“Of course I do.” He almost self consciously rubbed a hand over his face, “Oh, I guess you wouldn’t recognize me. I had to have a lot of work done.” He looked down at me, “Ryder, it’s me. Genie.”

Chapter 20

I backed away from the man in front of me. I stared at him, it was impossible. This man looked nothing like Genie. I knew Lance “Genie” Miller, or at least I had in the past. He was one of the founding members right along with Prime, and Mick. In fact, he was Mick’s younger brother. That’s the Genie that I knew.

“The fuck you are,” I said.

“Don’t be a shit, yes it is. Don’t look at my face, I know it’s different I had to get it changed, can’t you remember my voice?”

I looked over to Prez who was still looking as confused as ever. The man did sound like Lance but there was no way, he was trying to play me. “Yeah, if you’re Lance, you know us well. Prove it.”

He sighed out, “It’s been years, I don’t know anything from that last what twenty years.”

“Say what you know.” I barked.

“I know you are all bark and no bite. Do you still like to cuddle with the girls after sex? Prime was the President when I was there, he had a granddaughter, I think her name was Maddy or Madison. Um, let’s see,” he looked around the crowd. “Oh, Dillon, is that you?”

Wire nodded once.

“Damn boy, you got big. I remember you when you were much smaller. You tried to steal Prime’s wallet. Prime bought you your first bike, it took you all of three tries to get it down, like you were born to ride.” He looked over the rest.

“I don’t see anyone else I know. I don’t know… Oh wait, Ryder, you shot me! Here look.” He unbuckled his pants and pulled them down turning around to show us his ass, “See, I scared you while you were coming back from doing a pickup. You thought I was trying to rob you and as I tried to get up and run you shot me in the ass.”

“You were always trying to fucking prank someone.” It was him, my eyes didn’t recognize the man in front of me but those memories could only be known by him. They weren’t written down anywhere, there were no pictures, they were personal stories that only the family knew. This man was my brother.

“I can’t wear my kutte anymore but the wings have always been in my heart,” he stepped close to me, bent down, opened his shirt and pulled out the small chain that we reserved specifically for our ol’ ladies. Our insignia and the word Genie engraved in the platinum pendant.

It was him, this was Genie.

“Holy shit!” I grabbed him hard by the neck and hugged him as if my life depended on it.

“It’s true?” Prez started walking towards us. I looked over Genie’s shoulder and answered.

“Fuck yes, it’s him.”

Prez jumped on his back, and Wire came over to join in on the hug.

After a few minutes, we all backed away, huge smiles on everyone’s faces. We came here thinking we were making a new enemy only to find our brother instead.

“Wait a minute, Prime said you died. I’m so fucking confused. What happened to your face.”

“He had to, it was part of my cover. The last rides I remember were taking the warheads over the border. Prime was down to do one or two trips but once he figured out we were in too deep he tried to back out. Turns out people that are in deep with nuclear arms don’t just let you go. So he did the one thing he swore he would never do. He fucking snitched. He walked right into the FBI headquarters and told them everything they needed to know about the bombs being brought in. He figured he would do some time but that isn’t what they wanted, they wanted him to go undercover. They wanted him to stay on, but that would mean he would have to leave everything behind, his daughter, his granddaughter, his freedom, all of it. I couldn’t let that shit rock, that man was my president, I would have done anything for him. Besides I had no children, both my parents were dead, the only thing I would leave behind would be Mick and I knew he found new brothers with you guys. I knew he would be alright. So I offered myself up, they accepted and I died. Only Prime knew I was still alive and he was sworn to secrecy. I had the plastic surgery done, I started the Boys of Djinn with a few of the other FBI agents, it was a bullshit club but we had to have something up and running in order to pull everything off. It’s been a crazy ride.”

By now everyone was out of the vans and listening to Genie talk.

“How’s Mick? Why didn’t he come?”

Shit.

I held his coat it was as close to a hug as I could get at the moment, “Brother, I am so sorry, Mick was killed.”

He looked at me, a horrible look crossed his face before he put his face in his hands and cried.

“We were in the middle of a war with the cartel and Mick got caught in the crossfire. He shouldn’t have been there. That’s
