Chapter 9- The New Guy
August 2nd, 2008.
Pomona, CA.
Brooke loved racing her dragster. Everything about it was different from all the other classes of racing she did. Instead of driving in a circle, she drove straight ahead on a quarter mile track until she hit the finish line and the parachute attached to the car deployed.
The fans were also different, albeit every fan base she had was different.
She was currently sitting at a picnic table sipping a bottled water when a man a few years younger than her approached her.
"Hi," said the man. "You're Brooke Monroe, right?"
"Yeah," said Brooke. "What's your name?"
"Kip Eppes," said the man. "Just got back from Iraq a few weeks ago and decided the first place I wanted to visit after catching up with people was Auto Club Raceway."
Brooke shook Kip's hand and thanked him for serving their country.
"Don't be too hasty, I opted for honorable discharge when I got back," said Kip.
"So did my dad, after he got back from 'Nam he was done," said Brooke.
"I heard a rumor about you, can I ask?" said Kip.
"Ask away," said Brooke.
"Is it true that you're the only woman who's ever won a Formula One race?" said Kip.
"Yeah, and because of that whenever the press sees me they won't leave me alone," said Brooke.
She heard some cameras flash nearby and rolled her eyes. Kip walked over to the people taking pictures.
"Who wants to see what I lost fighting in Iraq?" Kip yelled.
Before anyone could respond, he dropped his pants.

Charming, CA.
"And then he dropped his pants… and one of his nuts was gone!" said Brooke. "He later told me it got blown off by a grenade fragment."
The bikers erupted into laughter.
"Who is this kid?" said Chibs.
"Just a fan who lives somewhere in California and he frequents Auto Club Raceway all the time," said Brooke. "Not surprised, 'cuz that track has been around almost 50 years so it draws everyone."

A few nights later Tig soon saw the kid.
Red hair, and several sweetbutts were in line to blow the kid's deformed nut.

"I got none last night! Damn kid took all my women!" said Tig.
He was complaining to Chibs and Brooke the next morning, and keeping the animals company.
"Could've been worse," said Brooke. "He could've gone to The Hairy Dog and we all know what sort of people go over there."
Ace barked after Brooke said dog. Tig pet the Doberman and watched Chibs and Brooke in the kitchen. They were beginning to remind him of Clay and Gemma with how close they were. Right now the couple was sitting in the breakfast nook in the kitchen, eating the French toast Brooke had made. Tig had a huge plate and a beer in the TV room as he watched Black Christmas on the AMC channel. The dogs were all sitting near him either on the couch or on the floor, and the cat was staying by Chibs and Brooke.
"Brooke, who's the killer?" said Tig.
"Depends. Which version is on?" said Brooke.
"There's two?" said Chibs. "Why would there be two versions of the same movie?"
"You two are watching?" said Tig. "I thought you were off in your own little world like a couple of teenage idiots."
"My sister is a teenager, watch it," said Brooke.
Chibs laughed. He couldn't help it, Brooke was a spitfire and she didn't take crap from anyone, even if Tig was the one dishing it out.
"So back to my original question, who's killing the sorority girls?" said Tig.
"That's the 1974 version, right?" said Brooke.
"Yeah, so?" said Tig.
"Couldn't tell you who's doing it even if I wanted to," said Brooke.
Tig rolled his eyes and turned his attention back to the TV.

"Chibs, can you keep a secret?" Brooke whispered.
"Aye," Chibs whispered.
"I've seen the movie… they never reveal who it is," Brooke whispered.
Chibs had to put a hand over his mouth to keep from laughing. Brooke kissed him so Tig wouldn't get suspicious. The kiss turned into a full-blown makeout session.

Tig watched Mini stand on her hind legs and beg.
"What do you want?" said Tig.
The dog began to claw at the couch. Tig picked her up and put her next to Sonny, who was already on the couch. Ace, Cosmo, and Titan were laying on the floor.
"I don't know about the five of you but having to watch that show in the kitchen is driving me crazy," said Tig.
SOA
"I can't believe the two of you knew all along! Whoever wrote that movie is a moron!" said Tig.
"It's just a movie, it's not real life," said Brooke.
"Aye," said Chibs.
The guys soon got a call from Jax. Apparently it was about Kip Eppes.
"Apparently he foiled a car jackin' outside tha Hairy Dog last night," said Chibs.
"It was probably one of the guys who lives there that did it," said Brooke. "Neo-Nazis. I hate them."
"Do I have to listen to more praise about this kid?" said Tig.
"Relax, you'll get your endless supply of tits and ass when you go to the clubhouse tonight," said Brooke.
"Chibs, you really know how to pick 'em," said Tig. "Just don't piss her off, 'cuz she won't sleep around on you like the last one. She'll just run you down with one of her cars then throw it in reverse."
Chibs calmly walked over to the couch, put Sonny and Mini on the floor, then punched Tig in the jaw.
"Cripes! If you two gotta fight, do it in the back!" said Brooke.
Chibs dragged Tig behind the lake house. When they came back they were both bruised and it seemed Tig had gotten the worst of it.
Tig left, saying he had gotten a call from Clay.
SOA
"Did I get any calls?" said Chibs.
"I don't know. I heard your prepay go off but I was watching you and Tig to make sure you guys didn't kill each other," said Brooke. "Want some help cleaning up?"
"In a minute, luv," said Chibs.
He grabbed the prepay from the kitchen counter and looked at it. There was a text message from Jax. Apparently all the guys were to go to the clubhouse and meet this kid.
"I gotta go darlin'," said Chibs. "I'll jest clean meself up in the bathroom."
"Chibs?" said Brooke. "You know I'd never do that to you, right? I love you."
"Aye, I know," said Chibs.
They kissed before Chibs headed for the shower. Brooke checked to make sure there was no blood on the couch before clearing the dishes off the coffee table, the dogs and Savannah following her as she walked around.
"Mrrrrreow!"
Brooke heard Savannah's meow just in time to see the Bengal cat run up the stairs.
"Shit," Brooke muttered.
Knowing her man never closed the bathroom door, Brooke bolted after her cat.
SOA
Chibs heard the shower curtain rustle and a meow. He looked down to see that Savannah had jumped in and was playing with the water. Chibs had to turn around when he realized the cat had mistaken his penis for a cat toy and attempted to claw it.
"Damnit! Brooke! The cat got in tha shower!" Chibs yelled.
Chibs heard laughter as Brooke got into the shower fully clothed and grabbed Savannah, who meowed in protest and tried to claw Chibs' penis again as Brooke got out of the bathroom and put the dripping wet cat in the hall.
"No! Bad kitty, bad!" Brooke yelled.
She then shut the bathroom door so Savannah couldn't go back in.
SOA
Chibs and Brooke shared a passionate kiss before he got on his bike and headed for the clubhouse. What a crazy day it had been so far just being at home and yet… he didn't mind. He didn't mind at all.
SOA
The guys listened to Kip talk about Iraq.
"I grew up right next to Pomona Raceway," said Kip. "Met this female race driver there yesterday, she made the guys look like wimps. I then drove through here because there's supposed to be a really good restaurant on the edge of town and I needed some food in me before I headed to Seattle, an army buddy of mine lives there. Went in here for a beer last night to wash down the hot stuff from the restaurant. Then I left, and these guys were trying to carjack a woman outside some bar so I beat them up."
"Hell," said Chibs. "The restaurant. It's called Hell. They serve all sorts of spicy shite."
"You and Brooke go there?" said Jax.
"Aye," said Chibs.
"Shit," said Kip. "I didn't know she was spoken for, I just wanted to say hi."
"How did you know we were talking about the same woman?" said Jax.
"I assumed," said Kip.
"He only has one nut," said Juice. "He dropped his pants for the girls last night and they all lined up. Tig was pissed!"
Juice laughed until Tig grabbed the barstool out from under Juice's butt, causing the Intelligence Officer to fall on the floor. Everyone laughed at him.
"Fuck off," said Juice.
"You got one nut? Prove it," said Jax.
"Fine," said Kip.
He dropped his pants for all of SAMCRO to see.
SOA
"All those in favor?" said Clay.
Everyone voted in favor.
SOA
Kip watched the guys come out of the big room. What was going to happen?
"Congrats. You're our newest prospect," said Clay.
"We also voted on a nickname," said Jax.
"What?" said Kip.
"Half-Sack," said Jax.
Juice and Half-Sack snickered as the latter put on the PROSPECT rocker.
"An' I will be yer sponsor," said Chibs. "Ye any good at fightin'?"
"Very," said Half-Sack.
"I like this kid already," said Chibs.
