Charles was meeting with the president, vice president and sergeant of arms of the MC. He was still waiting on information about the person he saw with his son. He knows he has seen him around before, but couldn’t place his finger on where he has seen this man before.
“So, what have found out? You called all of us here.” Jerry Pike hadn’t even had his first beer this morning when he got a call from Charles about knowing where his deceased wife might have hidden the micro SD card of pictures she took.
“I saw my son last night with some guy I have never seen before. He hasn’t left town yet, so we can get my son and he’ll know where his mother hid the sd card from her cellphone.”
“Are you sure about this Charles? You said your former wife had the sd card on her the night we killed her. Why would your son know where the card is?” Oz didn’t want another wild goose chase.
“Because her and the brat was close. He was her world and if there is anyone other than her sister she would trust it would be our sissy ass son.” Charles had wish his wife never gave birth to the boy. He knew from the moment he had been born that the child was a sissy.
“Do you know where they are currently staying at?” Jerry wanted to end this as soon as possible.
“Not yet, plus I’m waiting for my contact in the police department to get back with me on what he found out about that guy. I know, I know him from somewhere, but I can’t remember where I have seen him.” Charles knew he knew that person, but why or how he couldn’t remember.
Mary and Joe
Mary had woken her husband as soon as the snow had slowed down. She wanted to get to her nephew and niece right away. Something wasn’t feeling right and she has always trusted her feelings about things.
Joe looks to his wife and knew something was bothering her. He had seen the signs before with her. They had left in the middle of the night and took their time traversing the snow-covered highway. The state trucks were doing their best to try and clear them, but they had a heavy snowfall. They had stopped around twenty miles outside the town his nephew/niece were and was refueling and grabbing coffee to keep going.
He figures by the time Charlie and Jessie was up they would be there by then.
Mary was beside herself as she grabbed a few supplies from inside the circle K they had stopped at to refuel. She just couldn’t get over the feeling she was having. It has been getting worse since yesterday morning. She had this same feeling the day her little sister had died. Mary has learned to pay attention to it. On many occasions, it had saved her life several times while in the rodeo and while traveling by herself.
Once she pays for the supplies she had shopped for. Mary heads back out to her husband and their truck.
“I got everything you asked for and a few items for us to munch on to keep us awake. I know you hate the store-bought biscuits and such, but it will give us something warm to eat.” Mary climbs into the passenger seat of their Ford F-350. They had driven this vehicle because it was a 4x4 and had a powerful Diesel engine in it.
Joe gets in and grabs a coffee first before starting the engine.
“Thanks, hun.” Joe leans over and place a kiss on his wife’s cheek.
The coffee tasted good to him. He wasn’t impress with many gas station coffee, but this one wasn’t that bad.
Mary had watched her husband drink his coffee. She was pulling pieces off a French Croissant she had brought inside the store. She had been a little impress with the coffee as well.
“Good coffee?” Mary was taking a sip of hers.
“Yep, it must have been recently brewed and its different then what you normally get.” Joe takes another swig of his.
“We should make a stop here on our way back home and find out what coffee blend they use.” Mary takes a bite of her croissant.
After a few more minutes, Joe starts the truck up and start heading into the town. He follows the GPS unit till he finds the hotel that Mary had set Jessie up at. He spots his best friend Charlies truck and parks right next to it.
Charlie had woken up first and was in the process of making coffee. They had stopped at the store on the way back to the hotel after leaving the park last night and picked up a few more items. Coffee was one of them. He needed his coffee fixed every morning. He was moving quietly around the room so not to wake Jessie up.
As he was going through some emails, he heard a knock on the room door. He moves the curtain aside to look out and notice it was Mary and Joe standing on the other side. He opens the door and points to Jessie and Maggie still asleep.
Mary had basically jumped out of the truck before her husband had a chance to put it in park and raced upstairs to the room. She had stopped and waited for Joe to catch up with her. When she knocked on the door, she saw the curtain in the window next to the door move and saw Charlies face looking them. The next thing she knew the door was being unlocked and as she walked in, Charlie points to two sleeping forms.
One was Jessie who was wearing his mother’s nightshirt and Maggie who was covered up in the crib.
Both her and Joe walk in quietly so not to wake the kids. She gives Charlie a hug as Joe shakes his hand.
“How have they been?” Mary sits down gently next to Jessie and brushes some of his hair out of his eyes.
“They have been fine. You would be proud of Jessie, Mary. He is tentative to his sister’s needs. He bathes her, feeds her and changes her diapers and even entertain her. If I didn’t know any better I would say Maggie was his baby.”
Mary looks down at her sleeping nephew and just smiles.

Have you been getting lessons...
...from snowfall, wolfjess and others on cliffhangers? You have created an interesting series of scenarios with each one leading to a major confrontation in the future for our intrepid group. Well done on where you took us with this chapter!

Surprise in the wind
Charles doesn't know that Mary and Joe are coming for Jessie and Maggie. Now that they are at the hotel there will be a surprise should they try and get Jessie. And hopefully part of that surprise is Charles getting his head handed to him.
Seem while the gitten is good they otta git, before the MC learns of their location.
Others have feelings too.
