Mama snorts, “Well, what a shitty payment for stealing a child, huh, Bently, because I can guarantee you’ve signed your death warrant.”
The guy, Bently, freezes while Lacey gasps, looking our way, but my eyes stay on Melissa, who swallows hard, the knife in her hand shaking.
“Kidnapping children now, Melissa,” I say, and I watch as sweat builds on her forehead.
What’s the over-under she’s going through withdrawals?
“I-I, I need the money,” she stammers, and my jaw ticks.
“You needed the money so badly, you kidnapped a four-year-old little girl?” I confirm, and she nods once. I ask, “And how did you plan to get around the whole club wanting your head because you know without a doubt they are one hundred percent scarier than the Hyenas.”
She chews her chapped bottom lip before admitting, “I was going to run once you gave me a hundred grand so I could start a new life. You failed me. You didn’t get me the patch I needed, so this is the least you could do, and I know how much that little girl means to you.”
My nostrils flare before Mama growls as she storms past me and tackles an unsuspecting Melissa, both of them falling to the floor, the knife sliding across it and I grin as Melissa bangs her head hard on the concrete floor before Mama punches her, once, twice, three times.
She’s been waiting years to do that….
My eyes go to Tate again, and without thinking of the danger, I rush forward toward her, needing to get her out of here.
I get past Mama, who spits on an unconscious Melissa as she climbs off her before a screech echoes, and I turn in time to see a half-naked Lacey rushing towards me, a knife in her hand, and my eyes widen before I brace myself, knowing I won’t have time to dodge her.
“No!” I hear Mama shout, and everything slows down as Mama, who was climbing off Melissa, stands between me and Lacey.
“Mama!” I scream, watching as Lacey’s eyes widen and the knife disappears…
Chapter 23
Fury
“Warehouse four at East Side docks. That is where they are keeping Tate,” Blade states as he walks back into church after leaving with his dad for a call, gaining my attention from the screen, and I frown.
“How do you know?” Psycho asks, and Brick answers, “Lacey messaged Skylar. She and Anna are on their way there now despite me ordering them not to.”
Fuck.
My eyes widen and I quickly rush out of the room, already knowing what those two are capable of and fear rushes through me that I’m about to lose my girl and the brothers follow.
Fuck, my whole world will be at that warehouse, and I’m nearly half an hour away from it.
“What’s happening? Have you found her?” my mama asks, but I run past her, my mind focused on my girls, and Dad answers, “Yeah baby,” following me out of the door.
“Trent, open the fucking gate!” Blade demands as we climb on our bikes, and I quickly rev mine and spin out of the lot, not waiting for formation, narrowly missing the gate.
I swear to fuck, if one hair is harmed on either of their heads, I’ll tear Bently and Lacey limb from limb.
Ten minutes later, after breaking several speeding laws and cutting the time more than half, I skid next to Skylar’s car and quickly climb off my bike as Blade demands, “Venom grab Tate,” he nods, “Viper, kill that fucker Bently.”
Viper mutters, “With fucking pleasure.”
“Medic, grab Lacey. That bitch will be tied up in the basement until we’re ready. Glock, ensure the prospects gets here with the van,” Blade finishes, and they nod while I walk over to the door without waiting for his command.
“Mama!” I hear Skylar scream, causing everyone to look at the warehouse in shock, most likely thinking she means Melissa but me I rush towards the door and inside the warehouse, knowing Anna is hurt with the brothers behind me, only to pause at the fucking chaos.
Melissa is unconscious on the floor, blood pouring from her head, Bently is struggling to get his pants up, my daughter is lying in the middle of the floor passed out, and Anna is holding onto a knife that is stabbed in her stomach while a half-naked Lacey looks at the woman with shock.
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
“Anna!” Brick shouts as I run over to the scene. Venom rushes toward my daughter while Viper apprehends Bently, who instantly begins to plead his innocence.
