Devil’s Saints: Taz
Chapter 35: Fall Out
Motorcycle club president: part time businessman, part time party guy, part time therapist, full–time house mother. Who the fuck knew? – Toad
Toad poured another three fingers of whiskey for himself and Knuckles. He sat the bottle down on the desk before leaning back in his chair.
“He mentioned the blonde.” Toad said. “Well, he mentioned the lady. He didn’t say anything about her tits or her trying to get his attention. You want to guess what he did
notice?”
“If he didn’t notice the short skirt or the Dolly Parton tits, did he notice anything?” Knuckles asked. “I have never heard my cousin speak so badly of someone. Especially someone she didn’t know.”
Toad chuckled. “Riff wasn’t very kind either.”
“They both disliked her. What’s the problem?”
“The bimbo, as they both described her, assumed that he was Taz’s dad.”
He looked at his president with wide eyes. “Because he acts so fatherly towards her?”
“If shoving your tongue down
–
nope, I can’t even finish that thought.”
“I don’t want to think about what gets shoved where.” Knuckles shuttered.
Toad laughed. “I have the same opinion about my niece. But that conversation is for
later.”
He nodded knowing that when the conversation happened, he would get one of two
things. An ultimatum. Or a blessing.
“He thinks that he’s too old for her.”
“She thinks that he’s looking for someone more feminine.” Knuckles took a drink. “You
know that she can’t have kids, right?”
“No. Is that from…?”

“Yeah. Dad put her in boxing with us because the therapist suggested it. Work through some of her anger.” Knuckles took a drink and then looked at the glass in deep thought.
“Seven years old, and the bullets ripped through an ovary and her uterus. Nicked her vertebrae and pelvis. Her lower right lung. By all accounts, she should have died. Abdominal infection took the other. Had to take medication to force her body into puberty.”
“I knew it was bad, but I never knew how bad.” Toad admitted quietly as the other man brushed tears away.
“Very few no about her,” he used finger air quotes, “transition. She had to fo therapy, medication, the whole works. Molly’s babies were always around and she couldn’t wait to have a baby of her own.”
“Fuck.” Toad hissed out reaching for the bottle again.
Nodding, Knuckles held out his glass for another pour. “Was finally doing good with losing her whole fucking family and her little girl dreams get ripped away.”
“She’s tough. Strongest woman I know. And I know some strong women.”
Knuckles cleared his throat. “Becks, and Evie are taking her out tomorrow. She’s staying with Becks tonight.”
“I’m sending him on a run tomorrow. Hopefully, they can sit down and talk this shit out.”
“A little time and space should help them calm down. She’s been so happy with him.”
“I haven’t seen him this relaxed or happy in a long time.” Toad agreed. “Especially since Angel went to Spain for college. Did you know that idiot hasn’t told them how old the
other is?”
“I’d believe it.” Knuckles shook his head. “She tried to buy Angel a baby doll for
Christmas.”
“That may be the biggest thing to bite him in the ass.”
“I don’t know how Angel will react to finding out her dad’s girlfriend is around her age. But my cousin,” he chuckled, “there was twelve years between Sinner and Lily. The only

thing that she remembers is how much they loved each other.”
“I didn’t realize there was that much difference between them.” Toad said thoughtfully. “I just always assumed that she looked really young.”
“Here’s another secret. Sinner is not her dad.” Knuckles paused for a moment and let that sink in. “Lily was 16 and pregnant when they met.”
“Wait. She was conceived in a clubhouse.” Toad sat up and leaned on his desk.
“Not one of ours. The Brotherhood. Her father owed them a lot of money. In exchange of the debt, they took Lily. When she got pregnant and started showing, they dumped her. Sinner found her and fell in love. Instantly. But yes, she was born in church here.”
“Is that why they killed them?”
“Partly. And they wanted to take over the drug trade. If they only knew what kind of
retribution the Saints would do after that.”
“Does she know?”
Shaking his head, Knuckles added. “My dad and the few who know at the mother house
would kill me if they knew that I told you.”
The door burst open and Nessie stepped in looking frazzled.
