Then he’d disappeared. The nurses told Claire later that he’d paid her entire medical bill. Over fifty thousand dollars. Left only a handwritten note on the reception desk.
“Every child deserves a chance. I’ll be watching over her.”
She’d never seen him again. Never got to thank him. Never even learned his name.
Until now.
“Tommy Morrison,” the biker managed. “Kept my promise.”
As they prepared to move him, his vitals dropped. The monitors screamed. But every time Sarah gripped his hand, the numbers climbed back.
“She rides with us,” the lead paramedic decided. “The kid keeps holding his hand.”
They loaded Tommy into the ambulance with Sarah still attached like a tiny anchor keeping him in this world. Claire climbed in after them.
That’s when the motorcycles started arriving.
Dozens of them. All wearing the same patch Tommy wore on his vest. Guardian Angels MC. A child’s handprint stitched into the center.
An older biker approached Claire before the ambulance doors closed. “Ma’am, I’m Wolfman. Club president. Is that the little girl? Is she the one?”
“The one what?”
Wolfman’s eyes were red. “Five years ago, Tank lost his daughter. Car accident. She was five years old. Her name was Sarah.”
Claire felt the ground shift beneath her.
