Nox
The windaround me along with the freedom spills out among all of my brothers. We ride in a pack, each of us taking position to have each others backs. That’s what this world is—family. Always has been. Always will be.
After telling my father what Austynfound and confirming Carsyn did indeed use the credit card, he backed me up and I rallied the guys who were more than willing to go out and kick some ass.
This ride though, my tension is higher because I have to get to my girl. No matter how long this ride is, I won’t be able to settle until she’s on the back of my bike.
We pull off to a gas station and fill up.
“Would youhurry the fuck up?” Ryker calls into the bathroom at a truck stop. We’ve been riding for a while, and Austyn hasn’t sent me any more texts so I’m hoping that Carsyn is staying put. While I don’t know if Buck is for sure after her, I’m playing it as he is and going from there.
Deke comes storming out of the restroom, the door slamming against the wall and a scowl on his face. He gets rightup in Ryker’s face. “Stop bein’ a dick.”
Ryker chuckles, “What? Your shit hard to come out?”
Deke cracks his knuckles at his side, and I know it’s time for me to step in and get this shit to simmer down.
We’ve been on the road for about nine hours, taking a few stops for food and fuel. The map said it would be around eleven hours straight through and while tired, we’re pressingthrough. It’s causing some of them to get a little cranky, though.
I step between them. “Alright, assholes. Knock it the fuck off. We need to get back on the road.”
Deke’s fire-raged eyes come to me. My cousin has an anger problem, and the sad thing is it’s calmed down since being with his woman. “I throw the first punch,” he says, turning and heading out to the bikes.
“Fuck,he needs to get laid,” Ryker jokes, following him out the door.
“What, you gonna give him some?” Cooper says, clamping a hand on his shoulder as we all laugh.
“Fuck you.”
“Fuck you back.” My brother laughs, swinging his leg over the bike and firing it up.
I look down at my phone and see a text from Austyn.Checked out of hotel and on the move. No activity yet.
Fuck me. “She’s moving.”
The bikes shut down as I tell Cooper, Ryker, Deke, Green and Jacks what the text says. It livens the group up. “Need to keep going and hope we make it to her before those assholes.”
“This is her brother and he fucks her?” Jacks’ face is covered in disgust, and I can’t blame him.
“Stepbrother,” I correct. “More like rapes her.”
Some of the facesin front of me turn stony. “Let’s go,” Coop calls out as we fire our bikes and head out.
I just fuckin’ hope we find her, before it’s too late.
