I shifted my eyes away from her legs and chuckled. “I’ll make note of that.”
“Most outlaw biker clubs are known for adhering to a set of ideals that celebrate freedom. Nonconformity to any facet of mainstream culture is also common within the ranks of MC’s. After the war, did you feel the country had let you down or wronged you?”
“Nope. I was just sick and fucking tired of the bullshit – the rules, regulations, superiors. I was ready to live life without restrictions.”
“And what better way to do so than start an MC?”
I clenched my fist, held it in front of her face, and slowly extended my index finger. “I don’t have to answer to anyone. Society can suck my dick.”
She glanced at my finger, rolled her eyes dramatically, then continued. “Regardless of your reluctance to adhere to the rules and regulations society has established, they exist nonetheless. Are you of the opinion that you’re above the law?”
“Not above it, no.” I shrugged. “I have my own set of rules and regulations I adhere to. I think they’re enough.”
“Give me an example.”
“Of what?”
She placed the recorder beside me on the bench and ran her fingers through her long brown hair. “Your rules. What are they?”
I looked at the recorder, then met her gaze. I didn’t have a rehearsed or published set of rules or regulations; I simply did what I felt was best under my own system of beliefs. With a by the seat of your pants response, I conveyed my opinion. “If you want to be left alone, keep your nose and your mitts out of my business. Don’t fuck with kids, the elderly, or animals or I’ll hunt your ass down. I don’t know, that’s about it.”
She laughed. “That’s it?”
I glared back at her. “What’d you expect?”
She shook her head. “I’m going to recite a handful of rules many choose to live by. I want your opinion regarding each of them.”
I chuckled. “You may not like it, but I’ll give it.”
She pulled her phone from her pocket, tapped her fingers against the screen for a few seconds, and then began. “You shall have no other gods before Me.”
“You planning on listing all ten of ‘em?”
She looked surprised. “Oh. So, you’re familiar with this? You recognize it?”
“I’m not some fuckin’ idiot.”
“I wasn’t insinuating that you were. Are you a religious man?”
I shook my head. “No.”
“So. Your thoughts on that? The first commandment?”
“I believe in God.”
“I’m not going to list all ten,” she said. “Just the ones I’m curious about.”
I shrugged.
“Honor your father and your mother.”
“I have a great relationship with them both.”
She cleared her throat. “Thou shall not murder.”
“I’ll agree with that, but justifiable homicide is different.”
“What act or acts justify homicide? As far as you’re concerned?”
