Raging Barons – Silver: Chapter 24
-:- FOX -:-
Breakfast is over and Axel has taken Eden into his office, I’m sure to tell her the news about her step-sister Shirley. That is a bag of shit I don’t want to get involved in.
Walking over to Mia, who’s still sitting at the table, I sit in front of her. “Okay, what’s the news? Are we at the point where we get keys, and can get started on the building?”
“Oh, I’m sorry Fox, I meant to tell you, we need to go over and get the keys today sometime. I’m not busy, so if you want to go this morning, I’ll get ready and we can go.”
“Yeah, let’s go get the keys, and we can take Hammer with us to get planning started.” I say, rubbing my hands together.
“Hams has got nothing on, as I asked him to stay free today so we could go over. Let me shout at him, and we’ll all go together.” Mia quickly takes her dishes over to the sink and then rushes out to the common room.
I head to PT’s office and grab the SUV keys and hurry to my room, freshen up and grab my kutte. No way am I going anywhere without that, even though we never wear them in a cage.
Waiting at the front door, I’m watching Petey on the gate. He’s such a good prospect and he’ll get his kutte without trouble, I’m sure. He gives me a wave and goes back into the gatehouse to open the gate.
I walk over to the SUV, jump in and start her up, then move her over to the main door, waiting for Mia and Hammer. Thankfully, it doesn’t take them long to appear and jump into the vehicle.
At the realtor’s office, Mia tells us to wait in the SUV as she will only be a minute, and true to her word, she is in and out of the building within a couple of minutes. She shakes the keys at me, then laughs, “Come on Fox, let’s go make this place into a business that the club can be proud of.”
Parking around the back of the property, we can see it looks neglected, but we can also see the potential. Hammer steps out of the vehicle and places his hands on his hips, eyeing the back of the building. “It’s nice and solid, Fox, but it needs some care is all. That building at the back we could knock it down, build something useful and use the bricks to build it if we’re careful when we take it down,” turning again Hammer steps towards the main building, “Come on then, open her up, let’s go look at the amount of work we have to do.”
Entering the back of the building, we step into the kitchen. As a working kitchen, it is much bigger than we need. It would never be used to cook meals; it just needs a microwave if truth be told.
“Well, you don’t need a kitchen this size. It’s a good kitchen but you’ll never use it all so we can make it half the size. What’s through that door?” Hammer has his notepad and pencil out already, and I can see his mind is already ticking with ideas.
This is how it goes, Hammer asking, “What’s through that door?” and taking him through room by room, giving him our ideas for a showroom, work room, upstairs storage, and the idea of opening up some sort of corridor to the back door where items will be more easily carried in and out.
“Okay, come on you two, let’s go to the coffee house, and then I can give you the ideas I have floating in my head. I can draw you a plan of the rooms, then if you’re okay with it, we can bring it all to Church for the go ahead.” Hammer states, and we lock up and head out within a few minutes.
Walking into the coffee house, Shar waves us to a table next to the window and we settle down. Bringing over a menu and a bright smile, Shar hugs Mia. “How’s my girl? What do you all want to eat?”
“Good Shar, we’ve been checking out the property Fox is going to use as the Bespoke Furnishing business.” Mia proudly says, grinning broadly.
“Wow, that’s cool, I didn’t know you did that sort of thing Fox.” Which has me grinning because no one knew I had this ability with wood.
“I’ll have the buffalo chicken panini.” Hammer states and I look at him, then turn to Shar, “What’s in that?”
Shar grins, as she knows I’m picky at times. “Blue cheese, chicken breast, hot sauce.”
“No, I don’t want that. I’ll have the breakfast panini.” Mia shouts up that she’ll have the same as me and we settle back and wait for the coffee that Shar will bring.
We sit discussing the design of each room, looking at sketches that Hammer does to show us his ideas, and I have to say that he has one hell of a good head on his shoulders. The idea he has for the showroom is pretty outstanding.
A woman enters the coffee house and notices Hammer. I presume she knows him, as she gives this sickly smirk, then leans over and tries to kiss him, but he shoots back in his seat and glares at her.
“Get the fuck off.” Hammer snarls at her. She doesn’t seem to care that he’s not interested as she smirks and leans with her hands on the table, showing all her tits, because if her top was any smaller, they would be on the fucking table. “Awe, come on Hammer, you know you like being with me. Why don’t we spend some time together? I can make you feel really good.” she licks her lips and looks at his lap.
“Listen skank, he’s not interested.” Mia snaps.
“Shut the fuck up, it’s nothin’ to do with you.” But before she can say more, Hammer speaks, “I’m not interested, Cindy. We hooked up once and once was enough, now fuck off.”
“You’re goin’ to pass me up for this bitch?” Cindy cries, which has us all wincing as it’s like nails on a chalkboard.
This is enough for me, “Listen up. He’s not interested, I’m not interested, this is our First Lady, Axel’s ol’ lady, show her respect or end up in a nice deep hole.”
“Fuck you.” Cindy snarls then heads to the counter where Shar is carrying our order, giving Cindy a dirty look as she passes.
“What’s going on?” Shar asks as she passes out our paninis and takes our cups for fresh ones.
Mia fills her in on what happened and I can see she has that look in her eye that I saw once before, just before she jumped on the fucker’s back at ‘Club Whisky’.
Chaos walks in and grins broadly at us before throwing his arm around Shar, kissing her cheek. “Everyone okay?” he asks, and we all give him a nod with our mouths full of panini. Grinning, he heads to the counter to place his order.
“How are your staff doing now, Shar?” Hammer asks, knowing she has a few problems with the younger ones she hired.
“Okay now, I’ve two young ones who help me on Saturdays, but during the week I have three great ladies, all around forty, and they are so easy to work alongside.”
“That’s great. Eden enjoyed working here, but she’s grounded for the moment as you know.” Mia laughs, “She got claimed by Silver, fainted, and now she’s going to get to know him.”
“Oh my god, didn’t she have any idea?” Shar’s eyes are as big as saucers in shock.
“No, she did not know at all, but they decided it in Church that it was the safest course of action, and Axel said he thought Eden was Silver’s woman anyway, so he just pushed it to get it done.” Mia and Shar look at each other, then burst out laughing, cackling like a pair of witches, much to mine and Hammer’s amusement.
Chaos sits next to me with his panini and coffee, then sighs when he takes his first bite. When he’s finished chewing, he looks at me, winks, then turns to Shar, “I didn’t know you were having skanks working here, touting for business?”
“What the fuck you say?” Shar snarls, giving Chaos an evil look.
“Well, what else is it when I got propositioned when I was being served?” He’s grinning, and we all know he’s setting a lit match to her temper, which has us all sitting back waiting for the bang.
Turning, Shar stalks over to Cindy, points in her face and shouts, “Get the fuck out of my coffee house, and you’re not welcome back either. Take your skanky ass out and don’t think I won’t let it be known you’re nothing but a whore.” Before Cindy can respond Shar has her turned around, and has grabbed her hair at the back of the neck and is dragging her to the door.
Hammer, Chaos and I are watching this with much amusement as we know how tough Shar can be when needed, but as Shar drags Cindy past our table to the door Mia stretches out her foot and trips Cindy who goes down on her hands and knees.
We all snap our heads behind her when we hear a customer shout, “Fuck’s sake, she’s got no panties on I nearly fell in. Someone get a plank or the whole lot of us will disappear down that gaping hole.” The entire coffee house bursts out laughing at the customer’s comment.
Shar keeps dragging Cindy, who is crawling as fast as she can, to the door, and is yanked out before Shar slams the door behind her, slapping her hands together to show a job well done. But to her amusement, the whole place cheers and hoots.
Finishing our lunch, we all head out and back to the clubhouse, Chaos on his bike of course, but we all head out chuckling at the entertainment we just had.
