Harley: The Outlaw Chronicles novel Chapter 9

"I need to talk to you boys about something''. When he noticed me sitting at the table, he stopped talking. " Privately?'' Jemma stood up and came over to me.

"Come on darling, give the boys some privacy". I stood up.

"Yeah, sure, sorry''. We hadn't quite left the room when they started talking again;

" She's a bit young to be hanging around with you lot, isn't she?'' He was clearly talking about me.

"What's the problem, Allen?'' I heard 'Allen' mention something about the guys needing to go in for questioning but before I could hear why we were out of earshot and Jemma was directing me into her and Ron's bedroom.

She closed the door, I'm guessing to make sure that I couldn't hear anything and went to sit on the bed. I felt awkward being in here, so I just went over to look at the birds she had in a large cage in the corner.

" They're cute''. I spoke out loud but not to Jemma.

"Yeah, Ron got me them. He knows I love my birds''. I couldn't help but smile. That was sweet and romantic. As I stood there, admiring the animals, I couldn't help but wonder about what the police officer wanted and the curiosity got the better of me. I turned to face Jemma, who strangely was already looking at me.

" Why is that policeman wanting to talk to the guys? Why do the guys need to go for questioning? "

" It's club business ". I was getting a bit annoyed at hearing that.

" Yeah, I guess I'm just an outsider huh? " She smiled.

" You're still new to this and Ron is still new to you''. I hmmm'ed. "When the time is right, he will share a few secrets with you''.

" How can you be so sure? "

" Because you wouldn't be able to stick around otherwise... and I know he's very eager for you to stick around''. Well, that was something I suppose.

"Can't you... Can't you just tell me something? Please?'' I could tell by the look on her face, she was considering it. " I don't need massive intel secrets or to know every seedy detail about them... Just something? "

She patted the bed next to her and I went to sit down.

" Ron and the guys are part of an MC, you know that''. I nodded. "Well, they also dabble in.. some activities that most would consider illegal".

"Consider it illegal or it IS outright illegal?"

"Outright. I'm guessing from the photos in the club, the mug shots, you probably got a good idea on that". I nodded.

"Yeah, but what specifically have they done?"
