“Nice to meet you, Knox Bronson,” she shouts before running. Fuck! Spinning around ready to go after her only to feel the fucking bite of the letter opener in my side.
“Fuck.” Shifting around the bed, I grab the keys from the side table and uncuff myself before making my way into the bathroom. I tug on the discarded pair of jeans from earlier, then grab my phone I left on the counter and dial Xander.
He answers on the third ring. “This better be good, dick,” he grumbles.
“Get Tay and come to my room now,” I bite out.
“Why?”
I grip my phone so tight I fear I may crack it. “Because Lakeland just fucking stabbed me, then jumped out the window!” I snap before ending the call, only to dial Hendrick and telling him to get Floyd and the others to go after the little bitch. They have orders to not harm her but they are to bring her back by any means necessary.
Knox
“Wait, so she fucked you, stabbed you then she jumped out the window?” I glare at Taylan as the doctor finishes stitching me up. I have no fucking idea where Tay found the doctor but the guy doesn’t seem nervous or panicked in the slightest, which leads me to believe he does this type of shit often.
“Yes,” I grit out.
He whistles between his teeth. “Wow, she really does hate you.”
“Fuck off, Taylan,” Xander snarls at our friend. “What’s the plan now?” he asks, looking at me.
“I have no choice but to wait and meet Knight before we go after her.”
Xan nods. “Okay, we have about an hour before the meet. Floyd and Hendrick have split the men but none of them have been able to locate her.” The doctor finishes and dresses the wound before gathering his things and exiting quietly. Xan and I both shoot Taylan a questioning look.
“What? I know a guy who knew a guy who gave me the number to a local doc who does this shit on the side for a sum of money.” Rather than asking more questions I just nod and accept his bullshit ass answer.
“What are the chances of anyone here knowing who she is?” I ask.
Xander and Tay take a minute to think before Xan answers, “Anyone in our world would know about her, they would be keeping tabs on you.” Fuck, I stab a hand through my hair and nod, I thought as much. When my phone rings, I tune out of Taylan and Xander’s conversation and answer when I see Floyd’s name on the screen.
“What’s the update?”
He sighs. “We had to fall back.”
I sit forward in my seat. “Why?”
“She’s in New York city. We didn’t want to start a war with the Murdoch’s by crossing into their turf.”
“Mother fucker!” I snap. “Get your asses back here,” I order before ending the call.
“What happened?” Tay asks as I climb to my feet and yank my shirt on.
“She’s in New York. I need to call Bishop and ask to enter to get her.”
“Well, isn’t it a good thing I smoothed things over with the Don?” Xander and I both glare at the cocky fucker. I send both of them away to pack their shit so we can leave after the meeting with Knight, and so I can be alone as I call Bishop. If he denies me then I’m fucked or I have to start a war with the American mafia to get her ass back.
He answers on the fourth ring. “Knox?”
“Bishop, I need to ask?—”
“To enter my city to track down your girl?” I reel back astonished that he even knew about this.
“How did you know?”
“I knew the moment you landed here with thirty-seven of your men, your two underbosses and the daughter of Percy Deveraux, who I am also informed is in business with your uncle and Karl.” Surprised doesn't even begin to explain how I am feeling right now, he knows things he shouldn’t and I’m not fucking sure how.
“How–”
