The door to the warehouse opened and in walked Miles, Blaise, John, and Constance.They had been doing recon on other properties, trying to find a weakness.

“We heard,” Miles said.“Whizz sent out an alert to everyone.”

Nash and Murphy stepped inside the warehouse.

Anthony continued to pace as his father started to organize.

Something was missing.

Fort Wills was heavily protected and guarded.His dad never wanted their enemies to get the upper hand.How were they able to steal not one but two people in broad daylight, and four girls in the dead of night?

He paced.

“Hey, man, are you okay?”Miles asked.

He ignored him.

Daisy, where the fuck are you?Where would they take you?

They would hurt his woman.They would kill her, rape her.He didn’t fucking trust them.They were pieces of shit.He had to get to Daisy.Hours had already been wasted.He should have gone with her.

Where would they have fucking taken her?

And then, like a lightbulb moment, he looked toward his father.“I know where they are.”

“Where?”Lash asked.

“They have to be somewhere they can’t be heard.Where they can sneak off into the night, where cameras don’t follow.”He looked toward Lash, and he just knew.It was the only place he hadn’t thought of, until they took Daisy.“Daisy’s parents’ house.It’s in the middle of the woods.No one bought it.They didn’t even own it, and it has been running into the ground all these years.That’s where they are.”

Daisy would never go back there.He wouldn’t take her there.But it was the only place they could be.

Lash looked at him.“Are you sure?”

“I never burned the place to the ground,” Anthony said.“I was tempted to but I never did.There was no reason to.It’s the only place that makes sense.”

“Then we better ride, because they have been taken for three hours so far.”

Anthony was already out the door.He didn’t have a weapon, didn’t need one.

He was going to get his woman.
