Page 50 of Giving It to the Man-Whore

“Have you seen Mel?” Pea glanced around at the park, trying to find his woman. It had been a couple of hours since he’d last seen her, and he didn’t like it. She was close to her due date, and he wanted to make sure that she was taken care of.

“No,” Willy said.

He looked at Big Ricky. “Have you seen her?”

“No.”

Penny was laughing as Rage kissed her neck, holding her close. “Have you seen Mel?”

His sister-in-law stopped. “Yeah, she went to talk to Autumn. Why?”

“How long ago was that?” Pea saw Big Ricky tense up, and suddenly, all of the brothers were alert.

Seconds later there was a feminine scream, and every hair on Pea’s body stood on end. He rushed toward the sound, and as he rounded the corner, he saw Mel being forced into the back of the truck.

“Pea!” She screamed his name, and he charged forward. His brothers were there, and they were chasing after her along with him. The car was pulling out of the parking lot, and the door was open. There were men he didn’t fucking recognize. Pea kept on running, needing to get to her. His heart was pumping, and he kept on running.

“No!” He yelled as the truck pulled away, getting faster and faster. He was about to rush out into the middle of the road when someone grabbed hold of him. Saint was there, as were the rest of the club, and Big Ricky. He’d seen enough to know that Tara had been shot.

“Who the fuck was that?” Pea asked. Big Ricky had to have known who it was.

The look on the big guy’s face was clear. He knew, and that bastard had been after Autumn, and in doing so, they’d taken his woman.

“I don’t know.”

“Then you better fucking know!” Pea stormed up into Big Ricky’s face. He didn’t give a shit, but pulled out of Saint’s hold.

“Pea, we’ll get her back. This is not the answer.”

He whirled around and glared at his Prez. “If this was your woman, you wouldn’t stop, and that fucker would be dead on the ground, or at least getting you some answers.”

The sounds of sirens appeared in the distance, driving him fucking crazy.

“Get on the phone. Find out everything you’ve got,” Saint said. “We’re going to get her back.”

Big Ricky was on the phone to Lorenzo, and Pea was losing his fucking mind. The cops were there to get their statements, going through all the mundane shit. He was so fucking pissed off. Mel was there. She’d called to him, and he couldn’t get to her. He’d sworn to protect Mel at all costs, and right beneath his nose, she’d been taken. He was pissed off and ready to fucking murder someone. Big Ricky if the bastard didn’t get his answers.

Once all statements had been made, Pea headed toward the clubhouse where Saint ordered them all. It was bullshit. All he wanted to do was be hunting for Mel. She couldn’t get too far, but if he went off on his own, he could go in the wrong direction, and never find her. Parking his bike in the clubhouse parking lot, he entered the club and waited. He wasn’t handling this shit well. Something bad was happening, and it was up to him to find her.

The moment everyone was back at the clubhouse, and Big Ricky was there, Pea knew this was because of Autumn, and Mel was simply collateral damage.

“My boss was contacted with the details of two women. First, his daughter, and the second, a heavily pregnant woman.”

Penny sobbed, covering her face.

“What’s the plan?” Pea asked. “I don’t give a fuck if Mel means nothing to him. She’s mine, and she’s part of this club, and we will go and get her.”

“Lorenzo is handling it,” Big Ricky said.

Pea stepped up toward Big Ricky. “Where are they?”

“I don’t know.”

The first punch against the guy’s face gave him little satisfaction. He wanted to kill this fucker and bathe in his blood. When he kept on hitting Big Ricky, he was suddenly grabbed from behind, and pulled back. He fought them off, and glared at the bastard. “I told them all that you were a fucking danger here, and now my woman is at risk. You think I don’t know what she is to your fucking boss? She’s expendable. Mel means nothing to him, and if it means them killing her rather than Autumn, they’d do it.”

“Pea,” Saint said.

“I made a fucking vow to protect her. I promised her we were going to have a family.” He stared at Big Ricky, not caring that his club was seeing how broken he was. It had been a couple of hours that he turned his back on his woman, and she was gone. “I don’t give a fuck what your boss says. What do you know, because I’m not going to stop until I get my wife back.” He stared at Big Ricky. “You came to this town for our protection. Someone got through because you didn’t share. I’ll get my wife and Autumn back, one way or another. This will go a lot fucking faster if you tell me what you know.”
