Keeper Of The Flame

After I changed out of my suit and took a shower I put on sweat pants and a tee-shirt. I then picked up my phone and called my older sister Jean.

I was pissed. "Hey, Shawn what's up?"

" I need to get out of the club for a few months. I need to go on tour. Is the gang up for putting on some shows?"

" Sure we are."

"I will call our manager and get him to set some up in Dayton, Indiana, Florida, California, Van Wert Fair, Lima Fair, Greenville, and Sidney Fair."

" Will that be good?"

" That will be good."

" Call me when they are set up and then bring the semi to load my bike and equipment in and get Dave to drive our RV."

" Pick me up at Keith's MC here in Columbus."

I hung the phone laying on my bed for a few minutes before I decided to order Al's garlic pizza and garlic butter.

I looked at the time and thought I better go wait for my pizza outside. As I walked by the VIP table Keith asked where you going, Shawn."

I just looked over at him and gave him a dirty look and kept on walking. As I stepped out of the door I lit a cigarette and walked over to it in a chair to wait.

The prospect who got the gas walked up and said. "I'm sorry Shawn I had to follow orders."

I looked at him not saying a word and turned my head to see the pizza driver pull into the compound. I walked overpaid the man took my pizza walked into the club over to the bar and asked for a bottle of Pepsi.

I then walked to my room without saying a word and shut and locked my door. Kevin said. "She is pissed. Really pissed. I have never seen her that pissed even when Dreamer left her for the whore."

Cammy had heard what Jerry did to Shawn's Ramps and she was just as pissed as Shawn was. I walked into the club right over to the VIP table.

I slammed my hands down and leaned across the table "yelling at my brother Jerry."

"Just what the hell were you thinking Jerry."

" To burn the one thing that keeps Shawn sane?"

" If you ever wanted her back you can sure as hell forget that now. She won't ever come back to you or let you anywhere near her now. You were so stupid. She can hold a grudge for years."

"Did you know that?"

" Ask her brother Norman. He destroyed her favorite bike on purpose and she has not forgiven him or talked to him since. And that was over 10 years ago. I wonder how many years it will be for her to talk to you again I asked standing up and walking away."

I walked down the hallway to Shawn's door and knocked on it.

She let me in. I looked at her and then the boxes being packed.

"What are you doing?"

" I'm packing. I will be going on tour for a couple of months soon. I thought I would get a start on packing my things."

"I'm sorry that Jerry burned your ramps."

" It's fine. It just gave me the motivation to go back on tour again."

" But you will be gone too long."

" You can always come and stay with us if you want to I said."

" I can?"

" Yes, you can."

" Good. I'm going to pack. a few clothes that's all I'll need."

" Bring your bike too. You can do tricks again I said."
