“He’s my best friend,” Raul said back. “If you won’t send a crew, I’ll go myself.” He got to his feet.
My mind whirled as Prez and our VP argued about Justin, and all I could think about was Emilee and my son.
“What about Emilee and the baby?” I shouted. “Why are we talking about the man who took my woman and kid away from me?” I pushed out of my chair. “What’s going on with them?”
Storm took a gulp of his whiskey, then exhaled a deep breath. “Hustler is bringing them in his plane. They’ll be here in forty-five minutes.”
My heart jumped into my throat. “Are you kidding me?”
“No, brother, I’m not.” Storm leaned forward, folding his hands on the table. “Cobra said she’s pretty shaken up. Justin’s woman is involved in trying to take your baby. Now he’s missing.”
“Jesus Christ, this is a fucking mess,” Raul muttered.
Storm eyed me. “She’s gonna need you. You gotta be there for her and your kid.”
“Done. It’s all I ever wanted.” I fisted my hands at the thought of someone trying to steal my kid. I also didn’t like Storm talking to me like I was an idiot. He’d get a pass this time. Just because I was younger than him didn’t mean I was a dumbass who couldn’t take care of his family. I fucking could and would.
“What’s Ben doing about Justin?” Raul asked.
Storm looked at him. “Cobra’s heading it up. He said the house was trashed. They didn’t find any blood.”
Raul scrubbed his hands over his face. “Why isn’t Ben involved?”
Storm pushed the bottle of Jack toward my uncle. “Ben’s trying to stay out of it, so the transition from him to Cobra goes smoothly.” Storm’s gaze swept across the room, making eye contact with each of us. “Cobra is getting promoted to president at the end of the summer.”
“We need to go to Fargo,” Raul hissed, emotion in his voice.
He and Justin were close. At times, I believed my uncle cared about him more than me. I’d even gotten jealous of their friendship. It was childish of me. They had a long history together. Just went to show blood wasn’t thicker than water. The MC brotherhood won out over blood.
Before Emilee and my son, the club was all I had. Not anymore.
Storm jerked his chin toward Hero. “We can’t get spread too thin. Hero’s got the run to Canada in a few days. If some go to Fargo, I need people here to mind the club.”
“I should help search for Justin,” Raul stated.
Storm tapped his fingers on the table. “Hero, how many will you need?”
I hung back against the wall. All of it was important, but my mind was on Emilee and the baby. As a patched member, I needed to stay put until Storm ended church or he told me to go. I was impatient as fuck listening to all this back and forth.
I’ll finally meet my son.
Shit, I was nervous as fuck as I tugged on the collar of my shirt, feeling overheated.
“I could get by with five, plus myself,” Hero said. “Ryder isn’t ready for a run. Keep him here. Dodge can direct him.”
Storm nodded, looking at the rest of us. “Looks like we need more prospects.”
“Maddox is ready and willing to start prospecting now,” Hero replied.
“He’s not nineteen yet. September can’t come soon enough. We could sure use my cousin now.” Storm turned toward Raul. “It’s a risk for both of us to go. There’d only be Ire and Grizz to manage shit. Lynx would go with us.”
“Dodge would be here too, and Hollywood,” Raul said.
Hero cleared his throat. “If you’re leaving, I should be by your side. I think it’s better if you wait for me to get back.”
“He’s right,” Track said. “Cobra and his crew could find Justin before the day is over.”
“We’ll discuss this more later.” Storm cut his eyes toward me. “Go see Maddy. Tell her Emilee’s coming and to get something set up in the family unit.”
