Careful not to disturb Korrie, I slipped from the bed and pressed a light kiss to her head. Shoving my feet in my boots, I quietly headed out.
After gently closing the door, I looked to Ghost.
“Any idea if she has information?” I asked.
“No.”
Swallowing with difficulty, I nodded, then headed toward the chapel. Ghost was by my side the entire time.
Madame Laveaux was seated at the table, her expression exhausted and pensive. She looked up at me as I stepped through the door, and her eyes trailed me to my seat. Several other brothers shuffled in after me and took their seats.
She didn’t wait to be asked before she spoke to the room, but held my gaze. “I do not know the place where they are, but they are alive. Frightened, but alive.”
“Hurt?” I asked, trying to hide the nervous tremor from my voice.
She took a deep breath before slowly exhaling. “Yes. Not critically so. I also don’t know what the plans for them are, but I gathered a sense of urgency. You need to move quickly.”
“How can we move quickly if we don’t know where to start?” Chains blurted out. Madame Laveaux narrowed her eyes at him, and he immediately became contrite.
“I didn’t say I didn’t know where to start,” she admonished. “They are in this town. In an abandoned house, boarded-up windows, graffiti on the walls—” She was going to continue, but Raptor cleared his throat.
Everyone looked at him expectantly. Then we all remembered, and nervous excitement bubbled up in my guts.
“No guarantees, but I can try. Ma’am? Do you mind?” He reached out a hand toward her. Then looked at Squirrel. “Grab me paper and a pen.”
Squirrel scrambled to do as he asked and quickly dropped the pad of paper and a pen in front of him.
Raptor had been able to tap into a type of psychography when Kira had been in danger. He’d used his ability of remote viewing along with Voodoo’s visions to elicit coordinates. Crazy, but then again, if people knew all of our combined abilities, they’d probably try to lock us up.
While Raptor held Madame Laveaux’s hand, we all remained silent.
And waited.
Voodoo quietly entered the room, but Raptor and his grandmother didn’t show a hint of acknowledgement as they sat at the table, eyes closed and silent.
He and Kira had returned to the clubhouse with little Parker. It had been a rough night for them with very little sleep. Obviously the hospital security was lacking, and he was relieved to be at the clubhouse with his new family. I sure as hell didn’t blame him. He’d joined us in the chapel after he got them settled in his room.
“I didn’t want to tell Kira, but I had a vision at the hospital. We got here as quickly as we could. They’re coming after our families. The only thing I don’t know is exactly who or why.” He scrubbed his face with his hands.
“Well, we think we know,” Venom informed him. “We’re pretty sure it has to do with Lester Damon. Korrie’s mother stopped by and alluded to it. The bitch also said we would never see Trace again.”
I growled in anger as I fought against lashing out and destroying anything I could get my hands on.
“Fuck,” Voodoo swore as he gave me an apologetic look. Not wanting to see his pity because in my mind it meant Korrie’s mother was right, I ground my teeth.
“So the Bloody Scorpions are in bed with the senator?” Phoenix asked.
“Looks that way,” murmured Kicker. “Too much of a coincidence not to be.”
“Okay, this is what I got.” Raptor tossed the paper to Venom.
Raptor had scribbled out a multitude of coordinates. We weren’t sure why he’d seen so many different locations, nor did we know which was the correct ones. After some discussion, we decided to split up.
Hawk, Facet, Jameson, and the prospects would stay behind to watch over the women. I’d have loved to have Jameson along, but we needed strength at the clubhouse. After two of the prospects had been overrun, with one killed and one severely injured, we knew we needed bigger guns on the home front.
Facet also had some work to do.
Me, Chains, Kicker, and Voodoo would take one set of the coordinates. Venom, Phoenix, Blade, and E had another. Raptor, Squirrel, Ghost, and Goob would take the last set.
