“We’re doing everything we can, Jack.”
“Yeah? Is that why we’re all in here . . . in a meeting . . . instead of looking for her?”
“He’s got a point,” Wolfe said. This was the first time Jack had seen the other man since he’d heard that Vivi was pregnant. “We should be focusing on the girl. Not this bullshit. This is Purity Party Propaganda.”
“You think they have her?” Jack turned to him.
“Who else?” Wolfe shrugged. “Unless Pinky got to her. But we all know he’s funding the Purity Party so why dirty his hands when he can dirty theirs?”
Fuck.
“Then we find every member and we lean on them,” Jack said.
Caleb glared at Wolfe, then turned to him. “We can’t do that, Jack. They’re innocent until proven guilty.”
He didn’t give a fucking shit about that.
He wasn’t letting the fucking law bind his hands.
Jack stood. He was leaving.
“You’re a member of my guard,” Kassim said solemnly. “You cannot go around terrorizing my citizens.”
“Someone beat her!” Jack’s roar sounded through the room. “I’m going to find her. And if that’s a problem, then I quit!”
More silence.
Then Ian stood. “Jack’s right. Maggie comes first. I quit as well.”
“Wait,” Caleb said, standing. “No one is quitting. Sit down.”
“She comes first. Before anything else,” Ian told them all firmly.
“So this is more than a fling?” Aleki asked.
“Yes,” Ian replied. “Maggie is ours.”
“And does she want that?” Beck asked, staring at them both.
“She does,” Jack replied. He knew that she did. Even if she didn’t realize what they had was going to become a permanent thing.
“When we get her back, we’ll make it clear to her,” Ian said.
“You mean you’ll ask her consent?” Hux said.
“Like all of you did?” Jack said, staring around at them all. They’d all basically kidnapped their women and entered a Marjarsom period for twenty-one days.
Hmm, not a bad idea.
If she’s not completely terrified by the time we rescue her . . .
“We’ll talk to the police about interviewing members of the purity party. And we’ll go with them,” Caleb added. “Let me work on coordinating that. But I think it would be best if you both stay out of it.”
Jack opened his mouth to argue when Ian’s phone rang. Ian frowned. “It’s Jameson.”
Jack watched as Ian answered the phone, frowning deeply. “Fuck. Okay. Yeah. All right. We’ll be there soon.” He turned to Jack after ending the call. “It’s William. Apparently, Maggie’s mother called him and he answered.”
“Fuck. Why didn’t we take his phone away?”
