“If you try anything fucking funny, I’ll gut you right this second,” Chad promises me as he leans over my body on the table and makes sure to run his hand over my chest in ways that I used to love. Now it simply repulses me to the point I want to get sick all over him.

“I already told your stupid ass I’m not signing a fucking thing. No one will believe a damn thing you tell them when you try to give them one excuse after another. Are you sure you’re ready to sit your ass in prison instead of using money that’s not yours?” I question them as I try to glare at them and knowing I’m failing miserably since my eyes are swollen shut. “You do realize it’s just a matter of time before my men show up here and end your lives. Fawn should know that for a fact since she wants to fuck them.”

“Chad, Baby, I don’t want to fuck them. I’ve told you this more than once and you can’t let her put that thought in your head again. She’s just trying to come between the two of us,” she purrs and I have no doubt she’s trying to rub her body up against his.

“Oh, I’m telling the truth about Eagle and Cash. Not only will they beat the fuck out of you, but they’ll have the rest of the club with them. Not to mention the fact that you’re all a bunch of dumbasses. You’re all trying to get one over on the others. Chad, Fawn is fucking with the other guy you brought in here. She plans on getting the papers from you the second I sign them and turning them in before you can. And I have no doubt the stupid fuck over wherever he’s standing is also planning on stabbing the two of you in the back. Fawn, you already know Chad doesn’t plan on giving you a penny of the money he’s trying to steal from me. None of you are getting any of my money. I’ve got it all tied up in various accounts, investments, and other places you can’t gain access to,” I inform them as I try to figure out where each of them are in the room around me since Chad has backed up just enough I can’t feel him too close like he was.

While I let myself zone out, I listen to them argue and fight against one another. Fawn is the loudest one of all and I want to laugh my ass off because I’m sure she fucking looks as if she’s throwing a temper tantrum. Chad’s face is more than likely turning a lovely shade of purple. Since I don’t know the last person in the room with me, I can’t even begin to try to figure out what the hell is going on with him. It’s still kind of funny to think about even if I’m screaming out in pain and rage inside where no one can hear me.

Chapter Twenty

Eagle

CASH CALLING REAPERand saying he found Chad when he was supposedly on his way to Fallen Ink was the break we’ve been needing for three fucking days. The second I went down to the common room and saw Cash missing, I knew he was going out to do something stupid as hell. Only this time I can’t even find it in me to be pissed at him. He managed to do what no one else in this club could and found out where our ol’ lady is being held. Yes, I did lose my shit when I heard Cash say that he’d found out where Chad’s hiding. The worst fucking part is that she’s less than fifteen minutes from our clubhouse. Rebel’s been that close to us this entire time and we haven’t gone to her in all this time. She’s been left in the hands of Chad and Fawn and I can just imagine the shit they’ve put her through while they’ve had her. I can’t stand the thought of the pain she’s had to endure. My only hope now is that Cash didn’t hear me lose my shit because he needs to focus on Rebel and keeping her safe until we get to her.

“Let’s roll out,” Reaper calls as he walks back into the common room and looks at everyone.

He called them all in the second Cash hung up on him and had my brother help him so we could get the fuck out of here and to the cabin our girl’s in. Thankfully it didn’t take very long for them to head back here so we could get on the road. Hawk had enough time to get the blueprints for the cabin she’s at and went over the house plans while we were waiting. My brother knows every single inch of the cabin already and is already putting a plan together with Reaper about how we’re going in. I’ve kind of listened to them while thinking about everything. The only thing I know is there’s only one exit and entrance to the house and Cash already said all the windows are boarded up. That’s the best part and it will definitely work in our favor because Chad and Fawn won’t be able to see us get anywhere near the place.

I grab my extra ammo from the table in front of me and carry it out to my bike. Putting it in the saddle bags, I straddle my bike and start the engine while sitting next to Reaper. When we’re all ready, Reaper puts his hand in the air and spins one finger in a circular motion as he always does when the entire club rides out. We all pull out one-by-one and head for the gate Kal has already opened for us. Riding through, I look in my mirror to see another Prospect following behind us in an SUV and I know it’s for our girl when we get her back. Everyone here is thinking she won’t be able to ride our bike back to the clubhouse and they’re prepared to take her in the SUV to the hospital. Doc is in there and he’ll check her over and make the decision about where she goes once we have her back again.

Riding through town, we look for the dirt road to pull onto so we can make our way to Cash and Rebel. Reaper starts slowing down when we get closer and we all follow his actions. Riding down the dirt road, it’s overgrown and we have to ride single file because there’s no way in hell we’ll be able to make it if we ride side-by-side. The only reason we can ride the way we are is because of Chad and his travel up and down the road from the cabin. He’s compacted the dirt down and gotten rid of some of the overgrown grass we’d have to ride through if it weren’t for him and Fawn.

Reaper holds his hand up and we all watch him pull over. It doesn’t take me more than a few seconds to realize he’s found Cash’s bike and is parking next to it. We all follow him and pull in behind the bush and a few small trees. Shutting off our engines, Reaper gets off his bike and heads over to talk to the Prospects for a minute before coming back to where the rest of us stand.

“We’re gonna walk up and find Cash before we go over a plan. When we’ve got our plan in place, your first priority is to get to Rebel and get her out of the cabin. Eagle and Cash will be with whoever finds their ol’ lady and will get her the medical help she needs. The rest of us will get Chad and Fawn secured and back to the clubhouse. We’ll deal with them once we have time and know Rebel is gonna be okay,” Reaper states, his voice strong but quiet because he doesn’t want anyone to overhear us when we have no clue where anyone is on the property or how many people are actually here. That’s information we’ll have to get from Cash when we meet up with him.

Our group of men walk toward the cabin and it doesn’t take long for the derelict building to come into view. My eyes are roaming all over the place as I look for Cash. It doesn’t take me long to find him on the side of the house. Rage covers his face as I let my eyes drift down to find his fists clenching and unclenching by his side. Whatever he’s hearing right now is pissing him the fuck off and he’s ready to snap. I rush to his side and pull him back from the building just a little so we can figure out what’s going on and what he’s heard while waiting for us to get to him and Rebel.

“Calm down, Cash. We need the information you have so we can go in and get Rebel. Hawk has the blueprints and there’s only one way in and out of the place,” I tell him, my voice barely above a whisper. “How many people are in there with Rebel?”

“There’s three in there with her. Fawn, Chad, and some guy who’s essentially a hired assassin from the loan shark. The plan is for them to get her to sign the papers to transfer her money over to Chad and then this asshole will beat the fuck out of her. They don’t give a fuck if she lives or dies at this point. If anythin’, they’re hopin’ she dies. At least Chad is. He truly doesn’t give a fuck what the hell happens to her,” Cash informs us as rage fills his voice and makes me realize how truly dire this situation is.

“Okay. The front door is the only way in and out of the cabin. Do you know where they are in the place?” Hawk questions Cash as he lays out the blueprints so we can all see them.

“They’re right in the front in the living room area. Rebel’s been strapped down to something and they’re just tryin’ to figure out how to make her sign the papers when her wrist is broken. However, our girl isn’t just takin’ the shit they’re dishin’ out. Rebel is still all sorts of shit between the three of them. Includin’ lettin’ it slip that they’re each just waitin’ for her signature so they can betray one another and steal the money out from one another. Not to mention that she’s tellin’ Chad how Fawn keeps tryin’ to fuck us and shit. She’s losin’ her fuckin’ mind and ready to go the fuck off. We gotta get in there to take Rebel out of there. Right. Now,” Cash says, his voice hard and cold as he looks around our group and shows us how serious he is about this with all the emotion gone from his face. Right now, Cash looks like a fucking killer ready to burn the world down. I have no doubt he’ll do just that because Rebel is involved and the two of us will do anything for her.
