Page 30 of Torch's Torment

Frantically smashing the back window with my elbow, I don't even register the pain of glass cutting into my skin. I search for Daisy and she isn’t in here. Capone gets Danyella out. Blayze gets Monica out. They’re both unconscious but breathing.

“Bones!” Red shouts. It’s his prospect so I know he’s worried. “Bones!” Red screams into the night.

“Daisy!” I shout walking in the opposite direction as Red. We're all spread out over the field yelling for both Bones and Daisy when my phone vibrates in my pocket.

I pull it out and a video fills the screen. One that makes my blood run cold and the monster lurking under the surface of my skin breaks free. No one and nothing can calm me down except finding Daisy and Bones and slaughtering those who stand in my way.

“Red!” Red comes barreling over to me and I hand him my phone. By the time he watches the video, his face is ghostly pale. Capone and the rest of our brothers are next to us. Red hands my phone to Capone and I'm itching to do something, anything but stand here holding my dick. That video on repeat in my mind burned into memory.

“Clubhouse now!” Capone commands.

I’m the first one on my bike firing it up before anyone else. Someone must’ve called Dagger and I missed it because he’s here with another SUV and Danyella and Monica are loaded into it with Bear following them. I wait for the SUV to speed off and we follow close behind. Voodoo’s words ring in my head on repeat and I can't help but think we missed something. Something big.

We’re back to the Clubhouse in no time. Red has holed up in his communications room with Derange, trying to decipher the video and track its location. Bear is tending to Monica and Danyella in Danyella’s room. They're both conscious now but have killer headaches and Danyella keeps throwing up. Kensi, Nina and Aerial are with them when Bear comes out a few hours later.

“They’re both resting now. Major concussions but alert. They both have stitches on the head. Monica has a broken wrist, Danyella has a broken collarbone. I gave Danyella some anti-nausea medication to stop the vomiting.” Bear looks exhausted but more work needs to be done. We need to find Daisy and Bones.

“Thank you, Bear. We appreciate you for helping them.” Capone slaps Bear on the back. “Go get some rest and we’ll wake you when we figure out our next move.”

“Any time, brother. Are you sure?” Bear asks. He’s going to fall asleep standing up if he doesn’t take care of himself.

“Positive, Bear. Go. You’ve done more than enough tonight. Grab some pussy and get some rest.”

“Thanks, Prez.” Bear walks down the hallway and into his room.

I’m beyond frustrated and there’s nothing I can do until we get a lead. I storm into the communication room, looking to help. Red has Daisy’s video up on the monitors and I almost vomit what I have left in my stomach. She’s tied to a dirty bed with a ratty mattress beneath her. Her hands are tied above her head to the metal frame. She’s naked except for a pair of underwear that has drops of blood on the front of them. She’s blindfolded and a gag stuffed into her mouth. There’s a trickle of blood dripping from her nose and several cuts and bruises mar her delicate skin. My brand stands proud on her forearm and I’m praying between who she is and my mark, they won’t do to her what they’ve done to the other women, if it’s Valdimer who took her.

Bones is tied to the bed next to Daisy. His body is naked except for his boxers. His hands are tied to the metal bedframe and he’s gagged but not blindfolded. I imagine it’s to keep him compliant. He is covered with cuts and bruises and has a bad gash on the side of his head that’s bleeding. His left arm looks like it's at a weird angle.

“Do we have a location yet?” I ask exasperated.

“Almost. Give me a little more time.” Red responds. He’s typing in codes and numbers and they’re flashing across the screen at a rapid pace. I have no clue what he’s doing but I let him do his thing.

Derange has photo after photo popping up on his monitors of missing women and children. He sees me checking it out. “I’m running facial recognition to see if we can get any of these women and children home.”

Proud of what Royal Bastards are doing, I turn to leave when Red curses under his breath, “Gotcha motherfuckers.” He picks up his phone and dials Capone. “Church. I have something.”

Reds eyes cut to me. “He’s right here. Ok, we’re coming now.”

“What? What do you have?” My heart is pounding so hard in my chest it feels like it’s going to explode and land on the floor.

“I’ll tell you in Church. Come on, let’s get your girl back.”

Red, Derange and I throw our phones into the box and head inside. Capone and Blayze are already in here. After we take our seats, Trigger, Bear, Dagger and Tiny come walking in and take their seats.

Capone slams his Ivory gavel onto the table signaling the start of Church. “Red, since this is time sensitive, you’ve got the floor.”

Red stands tall and adjusts his cut. He’s nervous and I’m losing my patients sitting here. I growl low in my throat urging him to get the fuck on with it. “I found where Daisy and Bones were taken to.” His eyes cut to me, “You’ve got your passport up to date?”

“Yeah, I fucking do. Where we heading?”

“Ireland.”
