Page 15 of Nothing to Fear

“Of course. Has something happened?” She nods and sobs.

A feeling of dread creeps up my spine, and come around my desk to sit with her on my couch. I take her hands in mine and try to wait her out, but the more time goes by, the worse my fear grows.

“Blossom, what happened?” I plead with her.

“The helicopter got shot down. They were captured and were just rescued. I thought he ghosted me, and he’s been in a war camp this entire time.” Oh god, no.

“Lucas?” It’s all I can get out because somehow I know something happened to him.

“He’s alive.” She pats my hand in sympathy.

“But,” I wish she’d just spit it out.

My heart is going a mile a minute, and I feel like I’m going to pass out.

“He’s gravelly injured. They aren’t sure if he’s going to make it.” No.

“Where is he?” I’m up and around my desk, grabbing my purse, ready to go wherever he is.

“Landstuhl, Germany. But only family can go see him.” I nod and open my desk to get my passport and spare cash out.

“Fine, so who do I need to see to get more information on how to see him?” I close the desk drawer and grab my coat.

“Here’s the info Gavin gave me for you. He said to meet him here, and he’ll get you to him.” She passes me a paper that is crumbled up and wet from her tears.

It’s barely legible, but I can make out most of it.

MorningStar MC, Paradise, Nevada.

I’m going to get my man, and he’s going to pledge his life to the family and me because no way in hell will he be dying on my watch. Not when I just found him. He belongs to me.

He just needs me to remind him.
