"Kenny", she said.
"No, of course not. He gave me a job when I had nothing.", he said, pacing.
"So then how do you plan to get him voted out? His top men are the only ones who can do it. Last time I checked, you weren't one of his top men", she said.
"That's where I'm hoping your dad comes in", he said.
"My dad?", she raised a brow.
He nodded and sat across from her.
"See, AJ is distracted by revenge and making sure his wife is okay. He's ignoring the club and his men. That is not okay.", Kenny said.
"No", she said, without a second thought.
"No? What do you mean no?", he said, sounding shocked.
She nodded.
"No. If I ask my dad to help you, that means I'm back in and I already told you I don't want that life. You want to remove AJ, do it yourself", she said.
"Damn it, Ron, no matter how hard you fucking try, you will always be in this life.", he raised his voice.
She met his eyes.
"Anything and everything you want will be handed to you on a silver platter, not even silver, gold. We can run Bullet Club better than AJ.", he said.
"Remember your place", she snapped.
She stood and set the dog down on the couch.
"I don't want it. You don't like that, there is the door. I hope it hits you on the way out", she said.
He shook his head.
"You keep pushing people away like this, you will die alone. No one will ever be able to love you, because you don't let them", he said.
He grabbed his keys and opened the door to leave.
"No, you're wrong.", she said.
He turned to face her.
"I will, when it's the right person, and you just showed me that it's not you. Your stuff will be in the hall tomorrow, come and pick it up or I will dump it", she said.
He chuckled and slammed the door as he left. She grabbed her phone and called AJ.
"Do you have a minute?", she asked.
"Yeah, I'll be back at the club by eight. Meet me there?", he said.
"No, come to mine", she replied, hanging up.
She looked at Sadie, the puppy sat there and watched her.
"Now what do I do with you?", she asked out loud.
As soon as he arrived back in Bullet Club territory, he had his driver take him to Veronica's apartment. She was changing the lock on the door.
"Did something happen?", he asked worried.
"No one tried to kill me if that's what you're thinking", she said.
She gestured for him to walk in. He noticed Kenny's stuff was packed and the little puppy was behind the gate.
"So what's up?", he asked.
"Kenny wants to try to get you voted out of your seat", she said.
He nodded.
"I kind of suspected it. Some of the men came to me, telling me Kenny was trying to convince them that I'm ignoring my club", he said.
"He said the same thing to me. Asked me to have my dad help him. I of course told him no.", she said.
He nodded.
"I will handle it", he said.
"You better, if you don't set an example of him, your men will start to believe him", she said.
"I got it", he said.
He gestured towards the boxes and the dog.
"I broke up with him. We just want different things", she said.
"Good, Casey didn't like him for you anyway", he winked.
She smiled. It was the first time he's seen her give a genuine smile.
"And the dog?", he asked.
"Decided to keep her. Felt bad leaving her on the side of the road.", she said.
"What? You left a puppy on the side of the road", he said.
"I went back for her", she defended.
"Well, if you don't feel like keeping her later on, you just drop her off with me and Case, alright", he said.
She nodded.
"And thanks for the heads up", he said.
"I mostly did it for your wife. She's my friend, my only friend", she said.
He could tell how hard it was for her to admit that. He smiled.
"I can take Kenny his stuff", he said.
"Thanks", she replied, as he picked up the box and left.
Casey was lighting the candles on the table when AJ walked in. He dropped a box and something broke inside.
"Oops", he shrugged.
Casey giggled.
"What's that about?", she asked.
He told her what Veronica said and she didn't look surprised at all.
"See, I told you something was up with him", she said.
"I will listen to you from now on", he said.
He kissed her and she took his hands.
"Can we talk about something else now?", she asked.
He nodded. Getting to the dining room, he saw it set up.
"Wow hun, this is amazing.", he said.
She let him sit and she set down a plate for him. She did the same for herself.
"This is delicious baby", he said, after he took a few bites.
"Glad you like it", she replied.
"Now, why? Not that I'm complaining", he said.
She smiled and bit her lip.
"I had a lot to think about being with the Garcia girls. Changes of heart and all", she said.
He nodded and continued eating.
"They showed me that I should live my life to the fullest. Not doing something out of fear, means they keep winning.", she said.
He nodded.
"So, if you still want to be the father of my children…", he didn't let her finish.
He leaned over and kissed her hard. She giggled.
"So is that a yes?", she asked.
"It's a hell yes baby", he replied.
The next day, AJ filled in Tama, Luke, Karl, and the rest of the boys what Kenny plans.
"How do you want to handle it?", Tama asked.
"Scare the shit out of him, and if that doesn't work, beat him. Then if he wants to leave, he can go ahead and leave.", AJ said.
They nodded.
"I'll go and get him", Finn said.
AJ lifted the box Veronica had packed for Kenny, setting it on the table. A few minutes later, Finn walked in with Kenny, Matt, and Nick. The rest of Bullet Club surrounded the table.
AJ was sure Matt and Nick knew what Kenny had planned.
"Boss, you wanted to see us?", Kenny asked.
AJ nodded and proceeded to let Kenny in on what he knew. Kenny's face paled.
"She is loyal to those who are loyal to her. She also likes my wife way more than she likes you", AJ said.
Kenny swallowed.
"So what happens now?", he asked.
"You remember your place, if not, there is the door. Just remember that if you walk, you don't walk out of here without a few bruises and broken ribs", AJ said.
"I don't want out. I like being in Bullet Club, it's done so much for me", Kenny said quickly.
AJ nodded.
"Then remember who it belongs too. Us, we formed this club and I will be damned if you think you would ever run it.", AJ said.
Tama nodded and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Oh and, here is your shit back", Finn said, pushing the box towards Kenny.
"I would also recommend not going to see her. She's trigger happy right now", AJ smirked.
Kenny took the box, AJ gestured to Luke. He nodded and punched Kenny hard. Kenny spit blood before grabbing his box once again and walked out. Matt and Nick right behind him. AJ leaned into Finn.
"Have Jay watch them, any wrong move and I want to know about it", AJ said.
Finn nodded.
"You think he would leave to form his own club?", Karl asked.
"If he does that's fine, I mean, we did it.", AJ shrugged.
"But it worked out for us, and we didn't try to use one of Garcia's daughters", Luke said.
AJ nodded.
"I doubt they'll ever get a seat, especially if Veronica has anything to say about it.", AJ said.
The guys laughed.
Kenny went back to Veronica's apartment, he didn't like the way things were left. Knocking, she answered and raised a brow.
"Look, I just came to apologize and hoping we could talk calmly.", he said.
She pushed the door with the tip of her toe and he walked in. The door stayed open.
"We want different things, end of discussion", she said.
He sighed.
"I don't want to live that kind of life anymore", she said.
"There is nothing else out there for us Ronnie. You were born into this", he said.
"Well then maybe it's time I break the cycle. Let's get jobs, actual jobs", she said, taking his arm, begging him.
He shook his head.
"Not with my record baby", he said.
She had let go of his arm.
"And what happens if you get caught again?", she asked.
"We would run, the club would hide us", he said, shrugging.
"That's why I left my dad, because I don't want to live that way", she said.
He shrugged.
"Then it really is over. You can't handle my life, I'll walk and find someone who can", he said.
"Don't let the door hit you on the way out", she said.
He rubbed his face with his hands. It was useless.
"You are too broken for me anyway.", he mumbled.
"What is that suppose to mean?", she asked.
"It means, you aren't normal. You walk and talk like some kind of robot psychopath. It's not healthy", he replied.
A Few Months Later-
Garcia sat behind his desk as he looked at a photo of all his girls. They were smiling and happy. Still no word from his youngest. He called in Andrade.
"What I'm about to tell you stays between us", he said.
Andrade nodded.
"Get me in touch with Sika Reigns", he said.
"If I can ask why?", he asked.
"She doesn't keep her end of the deal, she comes home. Even if I have to scare her into it.", Garcia said.
Andrade knew he meant Ronnie. He just didn't know how that involved Sika Reigns.
"How badly are we scaring her, sir?", he asked.
He always got along with his wife's sisters, especially Bayley and Veronica. They were the youngest, so he got to watch them grow.
"You actually think I would harm a hair on my daughter's head?", he questioned.
"Of course not. I'll make the call", Andrade said.
Garcia nodded. His door opened again and Melina walked in.
"Yes?", he asked.
"Permission to go after Ric", she said.
"You found him?", he asked.
She nodded.
"He was smart, went to his daughter's home in North Carolina. Thinks we wouldn't notice", she said.
Before he could say yes, he remembered his plan to get Ronnie home. He could use Ric.
"Not yet. We don't want to move in too fast. Let him enjoy his last few days alive.", he said.
She nodded.
