Chapter One - Lady B

_______________

Even as little girls Madison and Sierra were able to tell what the other was thinking without having to say it. They would be at school in their classes and Madison could tell if Sierra was having a bad day or was sad and vice versa. At times they could even see what the other one saw. They were so close that they even slept in the same room in the same bed.

As they grew older the bond between them stayed. They had both worked part time jobs after school during their high school years so that they could buy motorcycles. When Madison went to work at a law firm, she knew to the second when Sierra had gotten into an accident with her motorcycle which landed her a broken leg.

That's one event that Madison will never forget. It appeared that Sierra was on her way to work at her tattoo shop when an SUV went through the stop sign on the corner just as Sierra was pulling her bike through the intersection in front of her shop and she was hit broadside. The driver had not seen her until the last possible moment when he stepped on the brakes but he wasn't able to fully stop before the SUV lightly hit the bike, causing Sierra to fly off of the bike and practically landed on her feet as she did a somersault over the bike. That's when she landed wrong and broke her leg.

Madison was standing near the book cases in the law library looking up some law cases when all of a sudden she fell a sharp pain in her leg and she fell on the floor. She grabbed her calf and sat there as if in a trance. She could see two tall men run out of a pickup truck and approach her. She was writhing in pain on the ground as she grabbed her leg. The next thing she knew everything went black and she was lying on the floor in the middle of the library. "Sierra" Madison whispered as she opened her eyes and grabbed onto one of the bookshelves, pulling herself up from the floor.

She reached into her bag and pulled out her cell phone. She put a call through to Sierra's Tattoo Parlor.

"Do you think she's dead" Billy asked as he got out of the drivers side. "Man I hope not" Road Dogg said as he got out the passengers side and they both ran over to Sierra who had sat up, removed her helmet and was sitting in the middle of the street, holding onto her leg and trying not to cry.

"Are you okay darlin'" Dogg said as he got closer to her. "I'm okay but I think my leg is broken and I have a whopper of a headache" Sierra replied. "Don't move" Dogg said as he sat next to her and helped her lay back down with her head on his lap.

Billy had gotten on his cell phone and called for an ambulance. When the ambulance showed up they put Sierra on a stretcher and took her to the hospital. Billy gave his statement to the police of what he had seen when the SUV went through the stop sign and hit Sierra and then had backed up and sped away. He gave them a partial on the license plate. Then between the two of them, Billy and Dogg huffed and puffed until they got Sierra's bike on the back of his pickup. They went to the hospital to check up on her and were told that she would have to be in a cast for a few months but they were going to keep her in the hospital for a few days for observation. They were informed she could not have any visitors yet because she was having the cast applied and wanted to run more test on her. Billy and Dogg left as they were late for the next event in that town. When they arrived at the arena Taker was just getting there.

"Taker, man, I need your help" Billy said. "What can I do for you buddy?" Taker asked as he got off of his bike. "I need to see if you can check this out for me and see if it needs to be repaired" Billy said as he opened the back of his pickup truck. "That's a nice Hog. Where'd you get it?" Taker asked. "He got if off of a girl who got run over" Dogg stated as he walked past and into the arena. Billy glared at the back of Dogg's head and then laughed. Taker was looking at him with a "what did you do" look on his face. "It's not like that" Billy said. "This girl was hit by an SUV that missed a stop sign as she entered the intersection. She's currently in the hospital and I though this would be a nice gesture towards her to have it fixed once she came out" he added.

Taker climbed on the back of the pickup and checked it out. "She's gonna need a new back wheel, a new brake line and a slight paint job too, but it's fixable. Why don't you drop it off at the house? Kane and I have a few days off so I'll talk him into helping me work on it. Where does this girl live? Taker asked. "Don't know, but her name is Sierra and I overheard someone in the crowd say she owns a tattoo parlor over on main" Billy replied. "I've riden by the place" Taker said. "I'll do some investigating and make sure she gets it back" Taker added.

***************

When Sierra woke up from her drug induced sleep. She rang for the nurse and when she appeared a few minutes later Sierra asked "Can you tell me where my bike is?" "I wouldn't know, you were brought into the hospital in an ambulance". I'm gonna kill that SOB for hitting me and leaving my bike on the road. I bet its stripped by now" she added. "I gotta get out of her and go check on it Sierra said as she attempted to sit up. She was suddenly hit by a bout of vertigo and said "Maybe it can wait" as she laid back down. "Nurse, in the pocket of the leather jacket that I was wearing there is a cell phone. Can I have it please" Sierra said. "Well since you are in a room by yourself right now, I don't see any harm in letting you use it. But you can't use it out in the hall or in any of the other rooms" The nurse said. "We wouldn't want you phone causing some ones pacemaker to go haywire" she said as she handed her the phone and left the room.

No sooner did Sierra turn the phone on it rang. "Hello" she said. "Sierra!!!!! Are you okay? I've been calling you for hours now" Madison said hysterically into the phone.

Chapter 2 "Hi, Madison. I have a broken leg and one Hell of a headache, but other than that, I'm fine."
"Which hospital are you at? I'll come see you."
"Saint Peter's, I think," Sierra said, still a little foggy minded.
"Those two guys didn't do anything to you did they?"
"No, they were helping me. The one with the Kanga cap and braids had nice, firm thighs."
"What a time to be checking out a man's body parts," Madison teased.
"Well, since you know I'm ok, I have to find my bike. The accident happened in front of the shop. Maybe Shawn saw it and got it."
"He just said he didn't know where you were."
"Well, I'll check with the police. See you later, Madi."
"You know I hate that," Madison laughed. "Bye."

She called the station and got ahold of the officer handling her accident. He told her the particulars on the accident. Then she asked," what happened to my motorcycle?"
"Your friends that were following you took it with them."
"Thank you, Officer Sanchez," and she hung up. 'That doesn't make any sense,' she thought to herself. 'They help me, then take my bike?'

************************************

Billy and Jesse had just pulled up in front of Taker's house. Upon, seeing the bike in back, Kane told Taker," she's a beaut'."
"Yep. Let's look her over, make sure I didn't miss anything."
"Hey, guys," Billy said. "How long do you think it would take you to fix it?"
"A couple days, at the most. It should be easy to fix," Mark replied.
They took the bike out of the back and set it in the garage. "Let's see what it sounds like," Kane said.
Taker got on it and tried the kick start. It wouldn't turn over. He made some adjustments and tried again. It roared to life beneath him.
"It sounds good," Taker yelled over the bike. He shut it off and looked at the three. "It's probably just a few minor problems. When it's done, we'll drop it off at her shop."
"Alright. We're gonna go see her. Do you wanna come with," Jesse asked.
"Na, we might as well get started here."
"Later, guys."

****************************************

Madison was sitting in a chair next to Sierra's bed, when Sierra woke up from another drug induced nap.

"How are you feeling," she asked.
"The headache's gone. How long have you been here?"
"Just a few minutes. Did you find your bike?"
"The officer said those two guys you saw took it."
"Did you tell the officer that you don't know them?"
"No, I want to deal with these guys myself. I can't believe this shit! I have a wreck then these assholes steal my bike!" Sierra thought for a moment. "Is there anyway you can get me out of here?"
"I don't think so! You need to stay here in case there was something they missed."
"Madison, I want to get my bike back before they get a chance to 'chop' it and sell the pieces. And, I want to find the fuck wad that hit me."

Chapter 3 - Lady B

The girls where still talking in Sierra's room when Billy and Dogg walked in. Madison looked up as they entered and Sierra said "That's them" with a shocked expression on her face. Madison got up from her seat and stalked over to them. "Thanks for helping my sister during her accident, but what did you do with her bike?" Madison stated as she stood in front of Dogg with a threatening look on her face. "Hold on there, little sister. Her bike is safe and we plan on returning it to her" Dogg said as he put his hands up, open palm towards Madison and took a step back. "It's not what you think Billy added as he walked over to the bed. "First off, how are you feeling" he asked Sierra. "I'm okay. Thank you for helping me. Where's my bike and what are you doing here?" she added. Dogg smiled at Sierra as he walked around Madison and approached the bed. "We came to see how you were doing after your accident. The guy who hit you ran off, but we were able to give the police a partial on his plate and they said they would check it out. Your bike is in good hands and will be returned to you in a few days. Hopefully you will be out by then. You do own the tattoo parlor on main, don't you?" he asked.

"Yes, why?" Sierra asked. Looking from one to the other. "Well, a friend of ours will be returning your bike to you and we just wanted to make sure he takes it to the right place. We will be on the road so we left it with him" Billy answered. Madison had cooled down as she heard them talking. She approached the guys and said "Listen, I'm sorry for having been so abrupt with you. My name is Madison. I'm Sierra's sister." "I'm Billy and this is Brian, but everyone calls him Road Dogg" Billy said by way of introductions. They shook hands.

"Thank you for taking care of my bike" Sierra said after the guys had shaken her hand. "It was the least we could do" Dogg replied. "We have to run now, but we are glad to see that you are doing better. If you should need to talk to us, give me a call at this number. That's my cell phone" Billy added. "When will you be getting out of the hospital?" Billy asked. "In a couple of days" Sierra replied. "I'll make sure our friend returns the bike to you at the shop or would you rather have him take it to your house?" Billy said. "The shop is fine. I have to get back to work as soon as I can. I can't stand being cooped up" Sierra replied. "We'll talk to you gals soon" Dogg said as they stepped out into the hospital hallway.

"They are cute" Billy said. "Yeah, but you know I"m a married man and I would never do something like that to Chawnie. She'd kill me" Dogg said as they headed towards the hospital exit. "I know what you mean. Nikole would kick me out if she even imagined I had played around on her" Billy added as they headed out to the pickup. They got in and headed out to the next town for their next show.

Mark had spoken to Glenn and he had come over and they were pulling the back wheel off of the bike. "Man, whatever possessed you to tell Billy you would fix this" Glenn said as he straightened up and ran the back of his hand over his forehead to dry his sweat. "I don't know. It's just too nice of a bike to let it sit around. And the girl who owns it might really need it. Aside from that, what else were we going to do with out time off?" Mark added with a chuckle. "Well I was planning on catching up on much needed rest" Glenn replied. "What are you talking about? You do most of your sleeping during your matches" Mark teased. "Now, don't start in on me" Glenn said. Just because I don't have to act hyper like you do, doesn't mean I'm asleep" Glenn retorted. They continued working on the bike and trading jokes and insults until the repairs were finished.

They stood back to admire their handiwork. "All it needs now is a slight paint job to cover the scratches on it and it's good to go" Glenn said. "Yeah. I just want to make sure it rides good" Taker said as he climbed on the Hog and started it up. "It purrs like a kitten" Glenn said as he stepped away from it. Mark revved it up and took off down the dirt road that was on his land. He returned several minutes later. "It runs like a dream" he said as he pulled up next to Glenn and shut it off. "How about we go into town and pick up the paint after we wash up?" Mark asked as he got off of the bike. "Sure, but I gotta get something to eat first" Glenn said. "You are always hungry. How about I buy you lunch as my way of saying thanks for your help" Mark said. "You're buying? Shit. Let's go" Glenn said as they walked into the house.

Madison had taken some time off from work and had stayed at the house that belonged to both of them, but Sierra lived in to make sure her dog Puppy, a Chinese Charpei, was fed and looked after. Madison still had a bedroom there and you could still find most of Madison's stuff furnishing the house. Madison was sitting on the porch steps running her hand through Puppy's jet black short fur when the phone rang. They went inside the house and Madison answered it. "Hello". "Hey sis, you think you can come and pick me up from this jail?" Sierra asked. "Sure, give me half an hour and you will be sprung" Madison replied as she hung up. "Mommy's coming home" Madison said to Puppy causing the dog to start running around in circles making Madison aware that he understood what she had said.

Madison locked the fence as she left so that Puppy would not run out into the street and got in her SUV and drove over to the hospital. Sierra was waiting for her outside in a wheelchair and was accompanied by a nurse. "Hey sis, how ya feeling" Madison said as she came around and opened the passenger door. "Great, but don't think this is going to stop me from riding my bike" Sierra answered as she got up from the wheelchair and hobbled over to the car using one of the crutches. "That's if I ever get it back" She added.

"I'm sure you will" Madison said as she closed the door and got in on the driver's side. "Can we stop by the shop on the way home?" Sierra asked. "Oh no you don't" Madison said. "You are going home and relaxing for a couple of days before you go back to work or I'm gonna sign you back into the hospital. "I'll go and check on it tomorrow. Right now, we are taking you home and you are going to pop a couple of pills before the pain kicks in again". They reached the house and Madison helped her get inside and to bed. Sierra took a couple of painkillers and several minutes later was fast asleep.

Mark and Glenn had returned from lunch and had gone directly to Mark's garage to do the paint job on the bike. At Glenn's insistence, Mark had painted in gold on the side of the bike, in beautiful script letters, Sierra's name. They stood back and admired their handiwork. "Think she'll like it?" Glenn asked. "If she doesn't we know who to blame" Mark said as they both went inside and grabbed a beer.

Chapter 4- Jade

Madison had ordered some take-out Italian for dinner. While they ate, Sierra tried to talk her into letting her go with when she went to the shop.

"Why do you want to go so bad?"
"I want to make sure that everything is alright. And, if my bike is there, I want to lock it up in the garage."
"You can call to make sure everything is fine, Shawn can lock up your bike, and you need your rest."
"I'm not going to rest until I go to the shop and find out for myself."
Between knowing how stubborn Sierra is, and knowing how she feels, Madison knew there was no swaying her. "Alright, but you are going to stay off your feet as much as possible. And, when we get home, you're going straight to bed. Agreed?"
"I can rest on the couch," Sierra whined.
"No. I don't want you to get rowdy with Puppy."
"Yes, mother," she said sarcastically.

*****************************

"What's for dinner," Glen asked Mark.
"You just had lunch two hours ago."
"I know, but I want to know what's for dinner."
"Are you planning on staying?"
"Yes, now, food?"
"No, I'll let you starve, so your stomach will shrink."
"You're an ass sometimes."
"I'm gonna grill some steaks."
"When are we gonna take the bike to the shop?"
"Probably tomorrow morning. We have to make sure the paint is dry before we move it."
"I'm riding it," Glen said, sounding almost like a child.
"Why, so you can wreck it," Mark teased.
"Hey, you should have told me there weren't any brakes on your bike before you let me ride it. Wrecking it was the only way to stop it."
Mark just laughed. "Alright, I had my fun on it. I guess you can take it."

*****************************

The phone rang at the sisters' house, and Sierra answered.

"Hello."
But no one answered her. She said hello again, but still no answer. She hung up, brushing it off as a prank caller. The phone rang again twenty minutes later. The same thing happened, no answer from the other end.
She decided to call Billy in case he got her phone number and wanted to check on her. He answered on the third ring.
"Hello," he said, sounding out of breath.
"Hello, Billy. It's Sierra. Did you try to call me?"
"No, why?"
"I just got a couple of weird calls. I thought maybe it was you."
"No, you didn't give me your number. I'm glad you called, though. How are you feeling?" "I'm feeling alright. They let me out of the hospital today."
"Well, that's good. I know how hard it is to be stuck in a hospital."
"It's more like a prison," she laughed.
"I can't stay on the phone long. I'm at work."
"At this time of night?"
"Yes, weird hours." He tried to keep from laughing, because she didn't recognize who he was. "Alright. I'll call you later this week and give you an update."
They said their goodbyes and hung up. Sierra called for Madison.
"Did you look at the caller i.d. when the phone rang?"
"Yes, but it said unavailable. I wonder who it was."
"I don't know, but it's kinda freaky."
