It was on every fucking channel. It had made national news. Satan’s Angels attacked the Soulless Sinners publicly. There was no fucking way I could sweep this under the rug.

The war had begun.

There was no stopping it now.

Getting to my feet, I walked over to King. “I need a computer.”

“Go see Nav. He will hook you up.”

“Are you sure you still want in on this?”

King turned and stared me dead in the eyes. “She fucking stays.”

“Then call church. I need to make a call first.”

King nodded, looking at Cash as I walked over to Dante. Cupping his face, I could see the worry in his eyes. “Babe, I need you to go with Danika and the girls.”

“We are going back, aren’t we?”

“Not right now. But eventually we will.”

“Danny, we can’t go back there. Not now,” he whispered.

“Right now, we are going to ensure our baby girl gets the help she needs. I did some digging and there is a world class therapist in Oklahoma City named Dr. Melissa Jefferson. She specializes in children with severe trauma. Nav is trying to see if she canget Dani in. If she can, he will set us both up in Oklahoma for the time being. Everything is going to be alright. I will talk more later.”

When Dante nodded, I leaned forward and gave him a quick kiss, before hugging him like my life depended on it.

“Come on, Dante.” Ellie appeared at our side. “We’re gonna let the girls have a slumber party and watch a movie.”

“Yeah, bud,” Jess whispered as she looked at me, her eyes narrowing slightly. I knew she saw the truth. Jess always did see more than she let on. “You love Cinderella. I’ll even let you wear the tiara.”

Dante chuckled as he, Jess, and Ellie walked back upstairs.

The second they were gone, I reached for my phone and dialed Reaper. It didn’t take him long to pick up.

“They safe?”

“Working on it.”

“Work faster. Shit kicked off in New York.”

“I’m watching now.”

“I want to watch this play out. I need to be sure. Not gonna start a fucking war because I wasn’t patient.”

“I need more time, Reaper.”

“Can give you a week, but then I want your ass back in the city. I need eyes and ears there.”

“What about Vicious?”

“He’s out. Fucker dropped his cut. Kids showed up here late last night. I need to know where he’s going, Sypher. Not leaving my brother to hang when I can save him.”

“I’ll see what I can find and get back to you. Anything else?”

“For right now, we wait. His back is against the wall. He will either ask for help or come out fighting. The next move is his. One week, Sypher, then I need your game face on, regardless. Understood?”

“Yeah. One week.”
