“If we cross reference …”
“Stop!” Austyn blurted, bursting through the doors of the cave and barreling right to me. Everyone’s attention went to her. I felt it down in my gut that Ensley was in trouble. The way Austyn’s eyes pinned me, her mouth tight, and the fact she was on a hell of a mission.
Cruz boomed, “What the fuck are you doing in here?”
She completely ignored her father, staying on course. “We need to go to 7732 Bryer. Ensley said some man has Katie, and Ensley went there to get her. She sounded scared. We have to go now. She’s in trouble,” Austyn ordered.
My worst fear had come true in the matter of seconds. The walls around me felt as though they’d sucked me in whole. The floor started to fall beneath my feet. I’d just found her. This couldn’t be happening. We’d been doing everything to keep her protected and safe.
“Why the fuck did she go there?” I barked as everyone in the cave made their way to the door. Me, I hopped in my SUV that was still parked down here, cranked it, and was pulling out not hearing Austyn’s answer.
The roll up door took ages to open. So much so I wanted to barrel through it. If I didn’t need my vehicle to get to my woman, I would’ve.
Remy. Fucking shit. Remy. I yanked out my phone and dialed Austyn who answered on the second ring. “Where’s Remy?”
“With your mom. She’s good.”
The relief from that was short-lived considering Ensley was still in trouble. “What do I need to know?” Stark fear ran through my veins.
“First, I only have a second. Her line is open on my other line. She called and told me where she was and that I needed to tell you and the boys. There was something about a time limit, but it was all over the place.”
Why in the fuck did she go? “Fucking hell.”
“Do you want help?” she asked.
The door finally went up all the way as I saw bike after bike rolling out. “We have it covered.”
“Bring her home safe.”
“I will.” I clicked off the phone, each turn of the tires feeling like it was taking ages. It wasn’t far, but with all the tension flowing around me it felt like forever. The building was vacant on the other end of Sumner. Once upon a time it was a steel mill, but the company sold out, leaving the structure in its place. My woman didn’t need to be anywhere near this shitty ass place.
Ensley’s car was parked by the front door with her driver’s side door wide open as if she'd rushed to get inside. Loved her determination as much as I hated it.
Motorcycles parked all around me as I hopped out to find Ensley’s car still running. Fuck me. She didn’t even take the time to turn it off. This told me she was scared out of her mind that she wasn’t going to make it in time for her sister.
She wasn’t trained for this kind of shit. No, she was blind going into a situation, and fuck if that didn’t piss me right the hell off.
I touched my thumb to the center console, hating the seconds it took to open. I pulled out handguns and extra clips for both. Stuffing the guns into my jeans, I got out of the SUV.
“Son,” my father said as I moved to the building’s door, finding it locked.
“No fuckin’ clue. While I want to look at the cameras, I can’t wait to get in there,” I responded.
Buzz and Deke came up to my right. “Keys. We’ll pull it while you go in.”
I tossed my keys to the men as they took off to the back of my SUV.
My training kicked in, and I was on a mission to find my woman.
Every breath is heavy. He’s been through combat, but nothing compares to what is on the line with Ensley in danger.
“Cell communication.”
“Right,” Buzz answered. All the brothers were there. Cruz, GT, Ryker, Jacks, Nox, Green, Cooper, fuck even Rhys and that man didn’t much like me. It reinforced with steel beams that this was family. This was what they did for those they considered their own.
I’d almost fucked everything up and lost it all.I wasn’t losing my woman either.
“Ryker, call Austyn and see if she still has Ensley on the line.” Ryker took off as we made it to the side doors.
