“With all of us up here, we’re bound to stir up trouble,” I pointed out.

“I tapped into the hotel security when we checked in. They’re blind. All they know is that all of us are staying somewhere in this hotel,” Tarron explained.

The doorbell rang about an hour later and we all braced for the worst, though I knew the rest of my team was probably back with my siblings.

Silas went to open the door looking confused.

“Woody? What are you guys doing here?”

“Kyle called me himself and said to report to the penthouse.”

I grinned.

“Charlie’s here?” Baine asked.

They all filed in as handshakes and hugs were exchanged in greeting.

“Is that your doing?” Michael mouthed.

I shrugged, but I knew this was a sign that Kelsey came through for me.

On the next ring, Silas just shook his head.

This time it was the arrival I’d been holding my breath and waiting for. Walker entered carrying Hannah as the rest of my team and all my brothers joined them.

“Lachie!” she squealed and jumped from his arms into mine.

“Thank you.”

He nodded.

The boys joined us in one big group hug as I reunited my family, or at least part of us.

“You guys are okay?” I asked them.

“Yeah.”

“Any issues?” I asked Walker.

“Nothing we couldn’t handle,” Tucker answered instead.

“Siggy?”

“Dead,” Colin said. “I’m sorry man. He was long gone before we got there.”

I sighed and nodded.

“Were they still there?”

“Not for long. We took care of it. Your kids are fine. They were hiding just like you told them to, though someone had tossed the place before we got to them.”

“It was really scary,” Hannah said.

“I’m so sorry banana. You’re safe now. Want to meet everyone?”

Before I started introductions, Echo team arrived.

“What the hell is happening?” Silas asked.
