“I’m excited to meet her too. I need about ten minutes to change. Want to come in and wait?”
“No, I’ll wait here.” Then he does something I should’ve expected. He stares at the camera. “My little Medusa. Come find me. It’s now your turn. Michelle looks so much like yourmother. Oh how I enjoyed fucking her then slicing her throat in the bed we shared. I wonder if Michelle will feel the same or if her eyes will be as wide as your mother’s were when the blade hit her throat.” Tommy shivers like he’s excited. “My true trophy will be you, my bella. Counting down the time. Tag you’re it.” He blows me a kiss before stepping back as he sees something in the window. Michelle opens the door with a smile on her face. She walks ahead of him and he tells one of his guys, “Toss the place. It will give us a head start.” He adjusts his cock in his dress slacks before turning and walking down the stairs on the porch.
“I got the license plate and started a search from Michelle’s place all over the town.” Joker sits down moving her laptop to be in her view. She’s typing something and I know she’s writing code on the fly. I asked her one time what she was doing and that was her explanation.
“Okay. So let the police do their thing. We can focus on Tommy.” Noah pipes up. “When we find him, then we find Michelle, Lucas, and the man who blew up the mechanic shop.”
“We?” Bubbles asks with a smirk on her face. “Do you know how to shoot a gun?” He shakes his head no. “Crash course coming up.” Bubbles scans the room and I know who she is looking for. “Trip, we need a gun lesson and some refresher courses for TJ and the prospects.” Trip saunters over to us.
“Who needs a gun lesson?” Trip stands there eyeing the table. Noah raises his hand just then DaVinci comes out with a turkey sandwich and some chips placing it in front of Noah telling him to eat up. She also puts a glass of orange juice next to the plate.
“Once you’re done eating, we can go out to the range,” she announces. “Anyone can come who wants some play time with the guns, and prospects are to be there no matter what unless stated by Medusa.” Trip heads over to the pool table and starts a game while Noah eats.
TJ motions with his head toward my office. We both stand and head over there. He closed the door before I could even sit down in my chair. There’s a ton of paperwork all over my desk that I need to go through and deal with.
“Where is your head?” TJ asks me as he’s sitting down.
“All over the place, but I’m happy to know Michelle hasn’t been kidnapped. It also gives us closure about what happened to Mom. She was killed some time ago, but who knows when and where she’s buried. Now we focus on finding Lucas or as you know Luca. Once we get Luca, we get Tommy.”
“Is getting Tommy worth all of this? You have Noah volunteering to fight alongside you after being burned. He shouldn’t be doing anything physical yet.” TJ is reprimanding me and I roll my eyes at him.
“I didn’t make him volunteer. Do you know how nice it is to find someone to stand beside me instead of cowering? I don’t want him to be a part of this world, but I’m also not going to stop him either.”
“I’m sorry. I guess I’m overprotective of him because he was in my shop when it happened.”
“It’s not your fault. They thought it was empty. We will get our revenge. Don’t you worry about it.” There’s a knock on the door. I yell to come in. Joker’s standing there.
“The bomber is at his apartment. He snuck in about ten minutes ago. One of his tenants reached out.”
“Get Trip, and few of the members. We’re heading out in the van. No bikes. I don’t want Richie Jr. to see us coming.”
“Electric or cable company?” she asks.
“Either one.” We made some decals for the local businesses, so we can blend in when we do recon or kidnapping. “Do you need to talk more or can this wait until later?”
“Later,” TJ tells me as we walk out together. I kiss Noah goodbye and head out to the white cargo van.
Chapter Thirty
Medusa
Sitting in the back of the van, putting all of my hair into my black beanie listening to the chatter around me. I’m trying to get into the Zen of things when my phone buzzes.
SMITTY: Heard about Michelle. Anything I can do?
ME: She’s not missing, she’s with Tommy. Lucas is his son Luca.
SMITTY: Are you fucking with me?
ME: No. Joker found the doorbell camera.
SMITTY: What can I do?
ME: We’re outside the bomber’s house but when we get done with him, we are going to the gun range to teach Noah to shoot if you want to meet us there.
SMITTY: I’ll head there now to talk to Noah. His parents are out shopping again.
I smile at how the men in my life are accepting and getting to know Noah. We pull up behind the building and get out. We look around the parking lot.
