The little girl sniffled and held the biker’s hand tightly.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou really promise?\u201d she whispered.<\/p>\n
The big man smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cCross my heart, sweetheart.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then he stood and turned toward his brothers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhoever stole that bike picked the wrong kid.\u201d<\/p>\n
The other bikers grinned.<\/p>\n
One grabbed his keys.<\/p>\n
Another climbed onto his motorcycle.<\/p>\n
Within minutes, engines roared throughout the garage.<\/p>\n
The little girl’s eyes widened.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you all helping?\u201d<\/p>\n
A gray-haired biker winked.<\/p>\n
\u201cSweetheart, around here, one crying kid means all hands on deck.\u201d<\/p>\n
Two hours later\u2014<\/p>\n
A familiar pink bicycle rolled back into the garage.<\/p>\n
The little girl gasped.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy bike!\u201d<\/p>\n
She threw her arms around the bearded biker and burst into happy tears.<\/p>\n
The rough old man hugged her gently and smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cSee?\u201d<\/p>\n
He wiped a tear from his own eye.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe keep our promises.\u201d<\/p>\n
And somewhere nearby\u2014<\/p>\n
the thief who thought he had stolen a child’s bicycle was learning a very important lesson.<\/p>\n
Nobody messed with one of the brotherhood’s kids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
