Honda explained it to his sons, “Basically, the Hounds were run by two men Caleb and Jordan King.The King brothers were cousins of the Grimm brother Jonah Smit.Sergi had assured them earlier that he had already rounded the Grimm's MC up.Sergi said that Jonah had just smirked at him when they trapped them all.”
Walter looked at his father and brothers then shook his head.“Damn Papa, this Jonah had the guts to smirk at Sergi?Does he have a death wish?”
Chapter Six
Hondo shook his head.“No son, Jonah always knew he had backup, I’m afraid.He knew that if they were taken, the Hounds would try to rescue them.”
“So they are coming here to take us hostage to try and get their cousin out of the Bratva’s hands?”Zed asked.
Walter scoffed.“Hell, don’t be so naïve, brother.If they ever got their hands on any of us, they would never be able to turn us over to anyone in any deal they might try to make.We wouldn’t be alive to give back.”
Hondo nodded.“That makes me worried about Cat and Wren.Especially if a man like Ernesto Montoya is backing this fiasco.He’s out for blood for his brother’s and nephew’s deaths even though the girls had nothing to do with anything.Their mother Isobel didn’t do what she was supposed to do in helping them to wipe out all of the Alvarez Cartel.”
Walter sat back in his chair and stared at his father, “You know a lot about those cartels, Papa.So how did you come up with this theory?”
Hondo exhaled and explained this fact, “Son, when you’ve been around this kind long enough, you start thinking like them.It doesn’t take a genius to figure out how they think.You just have to pay attention, and I always pay attention.The Montoyas might not agree with my methods, because they think they are ahead in their thinking.But like I said, if you pay attention you can reason out what they are doing.”He shrugged.“Besides, I met Carlos Montoya when I was younger and he was a harsh man even then.He would want to crush anyone that he felt let his family down and Isobel certainly did that.Even if she is dead, he would want to get her family’s blood for revenge.I would say that Wren and Cat have reason to worry.And that is something I cannot allow to happen.She may belong to Wanderer but she also belongs to us.Ben would count on us to make sure she is safe.He knew of the cartels himself and that is why he died through the black hearted Isobel as we now know.”
Andriea walked in and she stopped to stare at her husband and their sons.Then she looked at the video monitor.“What is going on out there?”she asked softly.
Hondo looked at her and shook his head.“What do you mean?”
“There’s someone right there, standing under a tree.”She pointed at the screen.
Walter turned to look.Taking a deep breath, he stared at the screen.“I knew someone was out there.I knew it!”He rushed to his feet and said, “I’ll be back!”He ran down the hall and grabbed his coat then he disappeared out the door.
Hondo, Zed and Cameron all looked over at the monitor now.They saw trees and nothing else.
“Maybe we need to follow him,” Zed said.“This might be some not so friendlies.”
“Ya think?”Cameron scoffed.“Just cuz they are out there at 5 in the morning?Hiding?”
Ignoring his oldest son’s sarcasm, Hondo stared at them both and gave them a firm nod.
Zed and Cameron grabbed their rifles from the wall and headed out after their brother.
Hondo then again studied the screen and gazed up at his wife.“There’s no one there.”
