Lucky knew why the bastards had been there but he wasn’t going to talk to Marchand about it. It was none of his business.

Lucky shrugged and looked at his brothers who did the same. “No idea. The only reason we were there was to get Harper and Ry back.”

Paul Marchand glanced towards Ren then back at Lucky.

“I take it the Grave Robbers MC aren’t friends of your club.” He said.

The brothers who had been listening to their discussion snorted contemptuously. He did the same before he answered. “No, they’re definitely not friends of ours.”

He was about to say something more when the doors to the operating suite opened and a woman wearing blue scrubs came out, glancing around the room.

“Family of Ms Delaney?” She called out, and instantly everyone stopped talking.

Rider jumped up, his hand clasped around Lucky’s upper arm, taking him with him. He stuck close to his side as they made their way over. Asa joined them when they stopped in front of her.

She looked them over, her eyes going to their kuttes and then to Asa in his dark suit.

“You’re Ms Delaney’s family?”

Asa answered for all of them. “Yes we are. Do you have news for us?”

“I do. Ms Delaney’s doctors asked me to deliver an update. She came through the surgery to repair the internal bleeding. They are now concentrating on repairing the lacerations and wounds to her hips and abdomen.”

Lucky felt his legs giving out and Rider and Asa caught him by his upper arms and held him up.

“Ms Delaney’s Doctor will be out to update you on her condition once they complete the surgery.”

“How long do you think before they’re finished?” Rider asked.

“I can’t say. Let me get back to theatre and if there’s a delay I’ll come out to keep you updated.”

It felt like he could breathe for the first time since they arrived when she disappeared back through the doors.

He turned to Paul Marchand. “Agent Marchand, you need to find them, find my boy. When Harper wakes up the first thing she’s going to want to see is her son. I want to be able to tell her he’s safe. Her psycho of a brother is not going to give up, he’s going to come after her. I wouldn’t be surprised if he tries to get to her here. We’ll be providing protection but it would be good if we could count on law enforcement to bring their side.”

Thinking about the bastard coming after her in the hospital made the rage he’d been holding back start boiling back up. His heart was beating like a fucking drum in his chest, his palms were sweaty and he had to keep blinking to keep his eyes clear.

For some reason they kept watering.

He turned to Ren. “We need brothers on the doors and outside the hospital. I want a guard on her the moment she gets out of surgery.”

“Already on it, brother.” He drew in a breath. “I had a call from Maniac, they’re continuing the search. He said he’ll talk to you once Harper is out of surgery.”

“I take it that means they haven’t found my son yet.” Lucky growled.

Ren shook his head. Fuck.

As he turned away the doors to the operating rooms opened and the same nurse now accompanied by a man in scrubs came through the doors.

He didn’t waste time but walked over, Rider and Asa on either side of him.

“You’re the family of Ms Delaney?”

“Yeah, we are. How is she?” He asked.

Lucky felt nervous and anxious as hell as he waited for the doc to answer him.

“I’m doctor Nesbit, Ms Delaney’s surgeon. Ms Delaney came through the surgery well. She lost a lot of blood but she was very lucky, the knife wounds didn’t cause lasting damage. Some of the lacerations to her hips and abdomen were deep and we’ve closed them up. There will be scarring but we were lucky to have Doctor Seifret scrubbing in and she’s assured me it will be minimal. Ms Delaney is a strong young lady and I expect her to make a full recovery.”
