“Okay. Eagle and Cash will hold back and let the rest of us in first. Titan, you’re with them. Savage, you’re with me. I want a few guys around the house just in case one of them chooses to bust through the boarded up windows and get away from us. When we leave here today, I want to ensure all three of them are back at the clubhouse in the cells. We’ll deal with the loan sharks and shit when we’re done here. After beating the fuck out of them, I couldn’t give a fuck if we turn Chad over to them and let them finish all three of them off,” Reaper orders as we all look at him and wait for him to give the signal to move out.

Reaper goes over a few more details and then we all make our way to surround the cabin. Hawk and Red will be the first ones through the door with Panther right behind them. Cash and I will enter the room and head directly for our girl. We get behind the group at the door while everyone else moves to surround the house just to be safe. Most of them will be toward the front of the cabin since there aren’t many windows at the back according to Cash and the blueprints.

“On my count,” Reaper’s order comes through the comms we’re all using. Hawk handed them out just before we left the clubhouse and I made sure Cash got one when we found him here. “Three. Two. One.”

Hawk kicks in the door while Red covers him. Panther is ready in case something happens to Red. We rush in the cabin and I almost die when I take in the sight before us. Strapped to a table in the center of the empty living room is Rebel. She’s only wearing her bra and a pair of panties. My eyes drift down to the ankle that was injured at Entice. It’s a mangled mess and I know it’s infected. There’s no way in hell the wound isn’t infected considering how red, swollen, and raw the area is. Her wrists are in the same condition from what I can see and you can definitely tell which of her hands is broken with how it’s laying against the metal table. Several bruises and cuts cover her naked skin as Cash and I go to race toward our girl. We only come to a halt when we take in the scene around us.

“If any of you take another step closer to us, I’ll slit her neck and let her bleed out right in front of you,” Fawn states, her voice grating on my nerves as she smirks at us.

Fawn looks as if she’s won and we won’t make a move against her because she’s too close to our girl with a knife in her hand. However, she has no clue we’ll always have the upper hand when it comes to Rebel.

“Are you sure about that?” I ask her, glaring in her direction as she falters for a few seconds and that’s the only opening we need.

Hawk rushes forward toward Chad while Panther and Red take out the other asshole. I haven’t managed to get a good look at him yet, but eventually I will. Fawn screams in shock and drops the knife as the guys are taken out quickly. Rebel’s eyes appear to be darting around the room as Cash and I rush to her side and start to unbind her wrists and ankles. Blood is on the table beneath her and soaked into the straps that were holding her down. Cash and I both reach down immediately and then hesitate because we have no clue where the fuck to touch her body. Rebel is literally so covered in cuts and bruises there isn’t an inch of her that hasn’t been touched or marked in one way or another.

“Sweet Girl, we’re here and are gonna get you outta here,” I say, bending down close to her face as I look at her face and see tears streaming down her cheeks to land on the table beneath her. “We just have to figure out where to touch you so we don’t cause you anymore pain.”

“No!” Fawn suddenly screams out, bringing all of our attention back to her once again which is always her ultimate goal. “This isn’t happening. That bitch has to sign the papers so the rest of us get what we’re owed. You’re not taking her until then,”

“Like hell we’re not. That money doesn’t belong to you and it never will. Rebel’s money is gonna stay where it is and there’s nothin’ any of you can do about it,” Cash states, his voice hard and cold while he glares daggers at the three of them.

“Eagle, Baby, are you really gonna choose Rebel over me? You know you want me and are just playing games to make me work for it. When is this gonna end?” Fawn questions me, batting her eyes as if it’s sexy and something I like. The reality of the situation is she’s not sexy in the least and I don’t want her. I’ve never wanted her.

“You’re a skank and always will be. No one will ever want you because you’re a manipulative bitch who will do anythin’ to get your way. That paperwork is the last thing you need to worry about because the ol’ ladies of the club are about to ruin your fuckin’ life. They’ll rip you limb from limb and you’ll be beggin’ for death to take you. I hope they make it hurt the way you’ve made Rebel hurt,” I growl out, my voice hard and cold as I look at her. “Rebel is our ol’ lady and that won’t ever change. We love her and will protect her with our lives. Can you say you’d do the same for anyone close to you?”

Fawn doesn’t say anything for a few minutes. She looks at me with confusion filling her face and a smirk still in place.

“That’s a lie. I’ve told you before she won’t give you what you want or need. Rebel is a frigid bitch who will only make the two of you miserable,” Fawn says, her voice sweet as she tries to move closer to the two of us.

“The fuck are you talking about, Fawn? You said you didn’t want them and were just playing the game until you could get what you wanted. That this was all a game until Rebel gave us what belongs to us,” Chad yells out, his face turning red as he glares at Fawn. “It looks like Rebel was right and you are playing us all. This is your endgame, isn’t it? You’re gonna try to take the money from me and then you’ll disappear to live your life without any of us around. Without me.”

“Chad, that’s not what I’m doing!” Fawn screeches, turning to face him as I look between the two of them.

“Yeah, it is,” he says as he turns his back on her while Hawk and Red lift him from the floor.

At the same time, Reaper and the rest of the guys enter the cabin and look around at what’s going on. When his eyes land on Rebel, I watch as they widen in shock before he blanks his face again.

“Eagle and Cash, get Rebel outta here. The SUV has been moved up and is right outside the door. Get her to the hospital. Doc isn’t gonna tell you to take her anywhere other than there. Her injuries are too extensive. Another Prospect just got here with a van to deal with these ass wipes. Let’s get this shit cleaned up. We’re gonna burn this shit to the ground,” Reaper orders as Cash and I try to figure out how to lift Rebel from the table.

Rebel still hasn’t said anything as she moves her head like she’s trying to look up at us. Her eyes are swollen closed and I know her head is pounding. There’s no way the damage hasn’t been extensive enough not to leave her with a migraine from hell. I don’t even know if she can talk at this point since we can’t see the internal damage. Looking over at Cash, his eyes are wet while he looks down at her. I move forward and reach under Rebel’s body to get a hold on her so I can lift her into my arms.

“Sweet Girl, I’m so fuckin’ sorry. This is gonna hurt and there’s nothin’ I can do about it. I’ll make this as painless as possible, Rebel, I promise you that,” I tell her as Cash rushes over to my side while Rebel whimpers as I lift her in my arms and bring her close to my body.

A path clears from the men surrounding us so we can leave the cabin. Fawn is screeching in the background while everyone watches us leave. I don’t stop moving until we get to the SUV and Cash has the back door open for us. I slide in with Rebel still in my arms and Cash closes the door behind us before running to the other side and jumping in. He pulls Rebel’s legs into his lap and holds her ankle close to his body so it doesn’t get jostled around too much. Doc turns around to look at her and his face pales before shaking his head.

“Straight to the hospital. Don’t stop or hesitate. We need to get her in imagin’ immediately to find out how much damage has been done to her,” Doc states in his no nonsense voice before turning back around and facing out the front window.

My eyes are locked on Rebel as my dad drives as fast as he can through town and toward the hospital. He doesn’t say anything but I can feel his eyes on Rebel through the rearview mirror every few seconds. The tension and rage filling the vehicle is so thick you could cut it with a knife. I honestly want to be with Rebel and ensure she’s okay. At the same time, I want to be with the rest of the guys and get my hands on the assholes who did this to her. They need to suffer for the hell they’ve put her through and I will help ensure that happens because this is too much. All for money they don’t deserve for any reason. We’ll make sure they see the errors of their ways when our girl is okay and we have the time to deal with them.
