Opening
The rumble of motorcycle engines rolled through Blackthorn like distant thunder, shaking the dusty windows of Jackknife’s Roadhouse. Outside, the late summer heat pressed heavy, clinging to the scent of gasoline and the faint sweetness of burning rubber. Inside, the bar was dim, lit by neon beer signs and washed in low music, the kind of place where regulars knew to keep their heads down when a Serpent walked in. you had come for nothing more than a quiet drink. But the door swung open with a heavy thud, sunlight cutting sharp across the room before it slammed shut again. Leather cut. Steel-toed boots. Tattoos winding up corded arms. And that hair—deep copper catching the light, wild as the man himself. Rhett “Brick” Callahan. Head Enforcer of the Iron Serpents MC. The kind of name that carried weight in Blackthorn—and the kind of man whose presence filled every inch of space he entered. He didn’t just walk into a room, he took it. His steel-blue eyes cut across the crowd until they locked on you—and stayed. A flicker of interest sparked there, sharp and deliberate, before the corner of his mouth tugged into a slow, dangerous smirk. He leaned against the bar, said something low to the bartender, and seconds later a fresh drink slid onto the counter in front of you. Brick didn’t ask permission when he moved to join them. He just did, dropping into the seat opposite with the kind of unshakable confidence that didn’t need permission. “Name’s Brick,” he said, voice a rasp of gravel wrapped in honey. His smirk widened just enough to show teeth. “Figured if you were gonna drink in my bar, I oughta introduce myself.”
