Page 7 of Loki
“My sister’s in trouble,” she whispered in my ear, when she leaned forward while moving her hips to the music. “And someone’s following me.”
“Why do you think she’s in trouble?” I asked, alarm moving through my system. Monica was a cheerful person, effortlessly shrugging off her problems. But this had her nerves on edge. I could tell by the strain in her voice. “And why do you think someone’s following you?”
In any other circumstance, the graceful movement of her body against my dick would have captured my attention. However, her voice trembled with fear, mirroring the same fear reflected in her eyes.
“She’s missing,” she said, her voice full of pain. “I don’t know how long she’s been gone.”
“How old is she?”
“Sixteen.”
“And you’re sure there’s not a boy involved?” I asked.
This was the age that I rebelled against my parents and for this to be a girl, there was a good chance there was a boy involved.
“She’s not that kind of girl, Loki.” She got up and spun around on my lap, brushing her ass against my cock. I returned my hands to her hips as she laid back against my chest, wrapping one of her arms around my neck. “She’s an honor roll student.And since school’s out, she’s been interning with a state senator at the State House.”
Definitely didn’t sound like the typical behavior of a rebellious teen.
“I’m going to need more than that, sweetheart.”
She sighed. “I got a phone call from her boss. They said they were giving her position to another student because she hadn’t shown up in over two weeks. That they could no longer hold it for her, even if a family member was very ill. No one in our family is sick, Loki. It’s just me and my parents.”
Alarm shot through me. Who didn’t let a family know that an underage child hadn’t been seen in over two weeks?
“When was the last time you talked to her, Monica?”
She rose from my lap, then flipped around, straddling my hips again.
“It’s been a minute. With my job, trying to rehearse for tryouts at the theater company, and school, I hadn’t had time to check on her like I should have been doing.” Sadness clouded her eyes, and I wiped away a stray tear that fell. She gave me a small smile.
“She was excited about getting transferred to a higher-ranking senator the last time I talked to her,” she continued. “Anyway, I filed a missing person’s report and since then I think someone’s been following me.”
“And why do you think you’re being followed?”
“It’s hard to explain. Maybe it’s all my imagination, but I keep seeing the same car around the theater, my apartment, and school. Even when I come to Conjure and when I leave.”
“Maybe it’s an unmarked cop, since it started after you reported her missing?”She shrugged. “I have no clue, but I’m scared, Loki. Something’s not right.”
I’d have the boys pull the security cameras for this place and see if Wires, one of our prospects, could pull any footage from anywhere she frequented.
I didn’t want to say it was just her imagination because it could be something. She was a beautiful woman. If it wasn’t the cops, it wouldn’t shock me if she had one of these bastards at the club sniffing around her.
“And your parents?” I asked.
“Are useless as usual. They don’t give a fuck about her as long as she’s out of their hair.” She sighed. “I wouldn’t come to you if I didn’t need your help, Loki. I’ve been so caught up with school, work, and tryouts, I didn’t even check on my own fucking sister.”
“Shit happens, Monica. You can’t blame yourself. You have your life to live. What’s the Senator’s name?”
“Senator Owen Decker. And when I called his office to see if they had any information on her, they didn’t even recognize her name.”
I recognized his name immediately. He had been on television, and they expected he would run to become the next president. Other than that, I didn’t know too much about him.
“I’ll see what I can dig up. What’s your sister’s name?”
“Her name is Lila. Lila Goins. There’s one more thing. I’ve done some digging and I think she may be caught up in a sex trafficking ring. A lot of girls are going missing around here if you hadn’t noticed. I spoke to a patron who came in here not too long ago. He was drunk out of his mind, but he said something about an auction for women happening soon. It’s by invite only and caters to only the richest people in the world.”
Auction? I’d never heard of anything like that happening in New Orleans so that meant that shit wasn’t connected to the mc world. There was no way Savage Order, the other mc in area was involved either, so that meant someone powerful enough to have the cops turn the other way was behind this shit. And if that was the case, Monica might have drawn attention to herself investigating if her sister was connected. That was probably why someone was following her.
