He pulled his cell out. "You wanna give your sister a ring? She's pretty worried about you." He should've had her call earlier, only there was too much commotion.

"She really sent you guys after me? How...I mean, she's just a hair stylist," Tiana cried.

King grunted. "Yeah, well, she's a pretty fucking awesome stylist who has friends in low places. So, you want to make that call or wait 'til we get back up north?"

Tiana took his phone; her finger shook while she placed the call. There would be no semblance of privacy. "Ayesha?" Tiana cried.

King couldn't hear what was said on the other end, yet the teenager next to him sobbed and promised she'd never do anything so stupid again. A couple of minutes later, the little convertible came to a stop, and he was handed back his phone. "My sister wants to...to talk to you." Tiana hiccupped a little cry.

"Hey," he murmured.

"Hey, yourself. You did it," Ayesha whispered.

King knew women. He especially knew how women's voices sounded after they'd been crying. "You okay?" he asked.

"It's just that...I knew you'd get Tiana for me." Silence descended for long moments. "I owe you more than I can ever repay," Ayesha vowed.

He grimaced at the cuts on Tiana from the shattered glass. He didn't mention them to Ayesha, unwilling to frighten her until she could see T, knowing things could've been worse.

"We'll be back at the clubhouse in a couple of hours. Tell Mack to have something for all of us to eat. I'm going to be starving." He'd be hungry for more than food. However, he'd push one of those needs down for the time being.

Traeger brought the car to a stop. Kailani looked as though she was ready to argue with his friend about their plans. King could've told her to save her breath. She'd learn really quickly who was in charge, and it sure as shit wasn't her.

He got out first, helping Tiana out and making sure she was steady before looking back at Traeger. "Are you good, brother?"

"My family will kill you all," Kailani whispered.

Traeger got out, meeting King’s gaze. "Cosmo said I could crash at his place."

King held his hand out, locking with Traeger's. "Stay safe, brother." He pounded Traeger on the back and stepped away.

"Shit, do I really gotta kill this pretty little thing?" Digger asked.

Kailani gasped. "What, I thought you were the good guys?"

King tipped his head toward the sky, glancing back toward the open passenger door. "He means your car. Digger has a thing for cars, which is why he drives a cage."

Digger walked forward, holding out his hand. "Don't mind them, I'm Digger, and surely, we can give this girl a pardon or something. I mean, what did she ever do to anyone?" Instead of taking Kailani's hand, he went to the car, running his palm over the hood, murmuring softly to her. "It's alright, girl, daddy's here. I'll see if I can't save you. Seriously, I bet I can find the tracker and disable it if you give me like fifteen minutes, tops." He pressed his hands to his chest in a mock prayer stance.

King walked away and shook his head, sighing as the other vehicle rolled up. Traeger tugged Kailani with him to that one.

"Why does he get to drive the nice car without all the baggage?" Coal asked as King neared with a visibly shaken Tiana, making her hide behind King as if she feared the brother. King smacked Coal upside the head.

"Come on, Tiana. Hop on in and ignore him." He glared at Coal. Let's move. We don't want to stand out here all night." Coal opened his mouth with what King was sure was something stupid to say, but King had his fill of stupidity for the night. "Shut up before I hit you again," King said.

Coal nodded. "This is me shutting up." Coal made a zipping motion with his finger over his lips.

"How is he not dead yet?" Digger asked.

"He's almost a master at computers, not as good as Keys, but close. I guarantee he has something in there that can find the tracker on her car." King tipped his head toward the car.

Once they had the tracker off her car, they separated from Traeger, and King ordered his friend to report back to him every twelve hours. Of course, King felt it might be a little longer if his friend got busy.

AYESHA STARED AT THEphone in her hand. She could feel the shakes begin in her hands, and her entire body seemed to start quaking. "Oh god, they did it. He got her back."

"Of course they did."

The woman named Mack had come to King's house earlier and knocked on the door but wouldn't come in. She'd introduced herself, patted her shoulder, and gave Ayesha a moment to get her shit together. She could've told Mack it would take more than a moment to perform that miracle. That had been hours ago. Now, with the news they'd gotten her sister away from Rico, a bastard with nefarious intentions, she could feel her entire body shake.
