“Where’s Amber?” I asked, ignoring his question. I didn’t give a shit about me. I needed to make sure my girl and our unborn babies were fine.
“I can’t find her but there’s…” Cyrus’s jaw clenched. “There are bodies everywhere, Sammy. Some of our crew…we need to start getting people out of here.”
“Jaron.” I grabbed his leather cut. “Tell me he’s okay.”
“I’m fine.”
My head whipped around, finding Jaron coming toward us.
He held a hand out. “Can’t get rid of me that easily.”
I slid my hand in his, letting him help me to my feet. “We need to find Amber,” I told them.
“Did you call anyone?” Cyrus asked, pulling his phone out of his inner pocket. “Fuck, my phone is smashed. I must have landed on it when the explosions hit.”
“Who the fuck blew up my club?” came Candace’s high-pitched voice.
“This is a mess.” Jaron checked his phone. “Mine’s fine. I called 911. Everyone is on their way. We’ll get those who survived out of here and then we’ll call our girls.”
While they were helping get people to safety and checking in with their old ladies, I went to search for Amber when a scream sounded out of nowhere.
Bile rose to my throat that something happened to her, the mother of my unborn children. The one and only woman who had ever been able to crack down my walls. To get under my skin and stay there. To make me fall in love with her.
“Amber,” I yelled, charging for the hallway that led to the change rooms along with the storage rooms. I didn’t know where she was, but I remembered her saying something earlier about needing to get some napkins. At that point, I had every intention of going after her but Cyrus had stopped me.
“Trust me when I tell you this,” he told me. “Amber went off to be alone. You need to give her some space.”
But I didn’t want to give her space. I wanted to overcrowd her damn life and stay there. Whether she liked it or not.
“Sam, wait!” Cyrus ran after me.
I checked the change rooms, my heart sinking at the mayhem before me.
“Oh, Penny.” Emma was holding her friend in her arms, rocking back and forth. Penny’s eyes were vacant, staring into nothing as life was no longer in her. Tears streamed down Emma’s face, soft sobs wracking through her small body.
“Shit,” Cyrus muttered. “We need to get the girls out of here.” He barked orders at Cheesy and Locke and a few of the other guys to help get people to safety. “We also need to find out what the hell happened.”
“What do you think happened?” I growled. “It was Will. It had to have been.”
“That’s a big fucking accusation, brother.”
I spun on my twin, grabbing the collar of his cut and slamming him up against the wall. “I don’t give a shit. If something happened to Amber because of that bastard, my pretty face will be the last thing he ever sees.”
“You do remember what happened when Jaron took things into his own hands right?” Cyrus reminded me.
I grunted, releasing him. “That fucker got off too easily if you asked me.” A friend of Piper’s had attacked her, and Jaron walked in on it. He stopped it from going further but it had gone far enough and Jaron killed him. It was too easy. I would have made him suffer just like I was going to do to Will, even if he had nothing to do with these explosions.
“Guys, we lost one of our security…” Candace’s voice trailed off as she stopped in front of the doors leading to the change room. “Penny, oh God.” She rushed to Emma, dropping to her knees in front of her and crying with the girls who had not only worked for her but had become part of her family just the same.
My eyes scanned the room. Besides Penny, everyone seemed to be breathing. Shawnee held a towel to her forehead, her eyes meeting mine.
“You good?” I asked her, knowing she and Amber were best friends.
She nodded. “Find Amber.”
Cheesy and Locke rushed into the room, helping the girls bring Penny out of the club.
A muffled cry suddenly came from the storage room across the hall followed by a curse. “Amber.” I went to the door, trying to open it, but it wouldn’t budge. “Amber,” I called out. “Are you in there?”
