Page 103 of Nest Of Lies

“I’m looking for Bailey.”

“Don’t know him.”

“He’s got my Lia.”

The biggest guy sneers. His hair is steel grey, but he doesn’t have wrinkles. I can’t pick his age, but then it doesn’t matter. I don’t care if he’s a hundred, I’ll still beat the shit out of him.

I crack my knuckles.

He swings. I catch the cue and rip it out of his hands, throwing it aside. His mates rush me, but I step to the side and send the first face-first into the nearest table, and the second, I get a really good punch to the side of his jaw, which lays the pussy flat.

I look back up at the talker and let out a deep growl.

“Where is my Lia?”

He shudders, glancing from me to the people watching.

“You gotta understand, we can’t, I can’t-” he stops talking and looks down. “They aren’t going to hurt her.”

I growl. “I didn’t ask if they were going to hurt her. Come on, you heard me the first time. I asked where she was.”

He closes his eyes. The damn coward is going to sing like a fucking bird. I can feel it.

“Hospital.”

My rage explodes.

“Which one?”

I leave that bar in pieces. Get on my bike and call Ranger.

“Joeslyn Hospital.”

I hang up and ride towards the pack, the hospital, and the woman who rules my heart.

Chapter thirty-seven

Ranger

I pause, perched onthe windowsill, and glance back out at the night, searching for unfriendly eyes. My MC is spreading across the hospital, taking it back, one Despair biker at a time. I drop to the floor and crouch there. The hospital is quiet at this time of night, but I know there will be people working.

Lia is in this hospital somewhere. I got a tip off I wasn’t sure whether to trust, but Valen called to confirm.

These are the bastards who hurt me. I wonder what they’re doing to my Lia. I pace through the hospital, pausing when I see a nurse flipping charts. She sets it down and rushes off when the intercom buzzes.

I snatch up the charts and flip through it.

Found her.

She’s on this floor at the other end. I don’t sneak, I just walk like I’m supposed to be here, and when I get to her room, I slip inside.

She’s lying on her side, her face pale.

“Lia?”

She ignores me.

“Lia?”
