I hang up and answer Peyton.

“So he’s not here Devil. Are you sure he’s not at the Chaos clubhouse. Just last night he told me he was going to stay there til he figured everything out.”

“He told Chains and I he wanted to get to Briarfield to see the babies so he left after the test was done. So I guess he changed his mind about not coming home right away. We’ve let your brother know. I’m sure it’s fine, sweetie. We will find him.”

“Okay, please let me know what is going on. I’ve got another class, but I’m freaking out.”

“Peyton, go to class. We will find him. I promise. I won't let anything happen to our boy, okay?”

We hung up the phone and I looked at Chains, “We need to get back to the clubhouse.”

“I’ve already called Terror, Thorn and Wiz. Hopefully by the time we get there we will have some answers.”

We head out of the parking lot and I pray that I didn’t just lose my boy before I got him.

Chapter Thirty

Peyton

I tried to participate in my classes for the rest of the day, but I couldn’t focus.I couldn’t believe this was happening again. How many times do people in my life have to get kidnapped? It’s like one minute I am living a perfectly normal life and the next all hell is breaking loose. I don’t know where Cooper is. No one can tell me anything. I’m terrified. I left campus a little while ago and came to the clubhouse. Knox has been in church with his brothers for what feels like forever. I don’t know what they are discussing, but nothing is more important than what is going on right now. We need to find Cooper and we need to find him fast. I do not want to lose him before I give him more shit for not telling me the truth about everything that has gone on in his life.

Last night our conversation over the phone had been a little illuminating and I know he wants to tell me everything, but he has had so much stupid shit going on in his head. I can tell that the idiot thinks I won’t know what to do with his childhood and everything that happened to him, but that isn’t true at all. Right now, I just want to know that he is okay. I want to know that he is going to come home to me in one piece. He needs to find out that Devil is his dad. That his family just expanded and he has so many younger siblings that will look up to him and be so proud of the man he is.

I hate that knowing his dad growing up was taken from him, but in a way he knew Devil growing up. Just not as his father. I might not know everything that happened to him, but I know he spent a lot of his time at the clubhouse when he could, hanging out with Tanner. The two of them have always been thick as thieves.

Pacing around the common room waiting for the Untamed to get out of church my phone rings and I look down to see that Tanner is calling me.

“Hey.”

“Pey, what do you know?”

“I don’t know anything Tanner. No one told me anything. I didn’t even know that he was going to be coming here today. I thought he was staying at the clubhouse until he figured everything out about his family. He didn’t even text me to tell me he was leaving. Devil is the one that told me he had left the lab to come straight here and that was hours before he got in touch with me.”

“Alright, we are working on it here. Devil and Chains got in touch with Terror while you were trying to find out if he was at the Rebel’s clubhouse. Wiz is checking traffic cameras to try and see if he can spot him. If I know Whip he was taking backroads so he could get there as fast as he could.”

“Could this be related to the Acid MC, could they have taken him?”

“Peyton, I don’t know. Honestly, doesn’t scream their MO. Plus right now their numbers are low and they are in hiding. That’s why no one actually came to grab Sophie or the boys when Lips took them. She moved before they were ready. I don’t think this is them.”

“Well then who else could it be Tanner!”

He pauses and I hear people talking to him in the background.

“Peyton, I got to go.”

“Wait! Tann—” I am cut off with the beeping from a disconnected call.

“Asshole.”

Then all of the sudden Knox comes barreling out of church with his council brothers and they all head towards the entrance.

“FANG! WAIT!” I scream and chase after him. He doesn’t stop until he gets by his bike and he turns and looks at his men and then back at me.

“I have to go, Peyton. We are heading to the Chaos clubhouse. They think they got a lead, but we have to go baby. It’s going to be okay. I promise I will get him back. We will get him back, we will have our holidays here with the babies. I promise you that.”

He then gives me a kiss and gets on his bike and I watch as the men leave the clubhouse gates. I am so worried for everyone and no one told me anything. They have a lead? That’s great, but what is their lead?

I head into the clubhouse and up to our floor, the babies are at the daycare and right now that is where they are going to stay.
