“Yeah, I noticed that the motherfuckers hit what used to be the weakest spots in our security.”

“Fuck don’t tell me somebody betrayed our asses again. It’s some disloyal motherfuckers walking around,” Big Country grouses.

“No, I think the same disloyal motherfucker betrayed us again,” Rock says, coming into the room.

“I’m damn glad to see you, brother.” I slap Rock on the back as he fully enters the conference room.

“Glad to see you too, brother. I can’t be gone more than a few days, and people are shootin’ up our shit?” Rock raises a mocking brow.

I shrug. “I told your ass not to leave me in charge.”

Rock chuckles, shaking his long blond hair. I am glad to see my brother is back in one piece. Hopefully, they found something out in New Mexico that will help us.

“Did y’all find out anything in New Mexico?” I ask, hoping they have some information that will shed some light on what’s going on here.

“It was a dead end. Frazier or Myers didn’t have anything to do with our supply being fucked with. But we’ll keep an eye on things.”

I sigh, but nod. It’s always gonna be something going on when you deal in the life that we live in. It just comes with the territory.

“So, I noticed that you said a disloyal motherfucker betrayed us again. Care to clarify for the new kids in class?” Wire questions.

“Yeah, those motherfuckers didn’t have shit to do with the pills, but that beady-eyed asshole was sniffing around, trying to get his hands on some assault rifles.”

“Kevin fucking Frazier!” Black exclaims angrily.

“Yep. His ass would be familiar enough with how we did things to hit us where it hurts. Fortunately for us, we switched up our security, so his little plan didn’t work.”

“So, was it this Frazier dude or the cartel? Cause I’m confused as fuck.” Mix shakes his head, looking around.

“Anything is possible at this point. But I haven’t heard from my guy on the inside, so I don’t know for sure. It’s not how the VFC has ever operated, so it doesn’t make sense.”

Before we can go into any more detail, the prospect that I sent to watch the women comes into the conference room. He stands tall with dark brown skin and eyes. He looks to be in his twenties, but all these kids look young to my old ass.

“Smoke, is there a reason you’re up here and not in the basement?” I question.

“Yeah, V.P., your woman is losing her shit. I didn’t want to let her out without checkin’ on things first. When I turned the sound up on the cameras that are in the safe room, I heard her screaming about her mama.”

I don’t ask him any more questions. Blue would never act a fool under these circumstances. Something is clearly wrong, and I need to get to her. I’m moving to the basement before Smoke can even finish his sentence.

My phone beeps in my pocket as I walk down the stairs. I feel a sense of relief when I recognize the unsaved number. But the number code on that’s on the screen has me frowning. I hit the call button as I keep walking to Blue.

“Talk,” I say when the line is connected.

“Carol Anne… red.” The line disconnects, and my heart sinks to my stomach.

Something has happened to Blue’s mama, and it ain’t nothin’ good. I’ll do my best to talk her into staying here where it’s safe. But I know that when it comes to my woman and protecting her mama, nothing will stand in her way.

I just hope whoever came for my woman knows that nothing will stand in my way when it comes to protecting her.

CHAPTER 18

SAVED

BLUE

I’m bordering on hysterical when Bishop finally arrives at the safe room. Mama is in trouble; I can feel it in my gut. I know she calls me for everything, but something in her voice was different. Something terrifying that I could hear even through the staticky line.

I need to get to my mama!
