"Boss." His voice hoarse, "It's not a great time."
"Martin." I say through gritted teeth, I don't give a fuck what time it is.
I hear him sigh heavily, "Boss..."
I cut him off. "Why haven't you found Carina?"
He sighs yet again. "Boss, it's my mom. I haven't had the time to find her."
"Why haven't you said anything?"
"I didn't want anyone to know," he admits quietly.
"How bad is it?" I glance at Jagger, he has a tight grip on the steering wheel.
"It's doubtful she'll make it through the night."
Christ. "Call me if you need me."
"Will do." His voice calm, much calmer than I would be. "And, thanks, Boss."
I end the call just as Jagger pulls up outside a townhouse. "What's up?"
My gut’s still screaming. "His mom may not make it through the night."
He frowns looking confused. "Shit, what's wrong?"

"Fuck," Jagger mutters, saying what we're all thinking.
"Let's get Carina." I need to get ahead of this shit. I'm one step behind and it's time to get ahead.

"Ladies," a deep voice calls out and I’m instantly awake.
My eyes pop open, but the room is still shrouded in darkness. I don’t know how long we’ve been here, I lost track after ten days. The so called boss has yet to come by and I’m wondering if he’s even real.
"Ladies, you're here for a reason, and only one reason," the deep voice says, it’s a new voice, but one that I know. It’s so familiar but I can’t place where I know it from.
"Why is that?” Lacey asks, her voice is weak. Thankfully she’s no longer coughing.
"Your men," he returns and I want to cry, I knew this had to do with Hudson, I just hoped that I was wrong.
“I don’t have a man. I think you have the wrong people. You should just let us go. We don’t know who you are or where we are. Please just let us go.” She’s lost all faith in us even getting out of here, we’ve not really spoken much the past couple of days. Both of us just retreating into ourselves.
A dark chuckle fills the air, "Oh Lacey, you're so naive."
Lace sucks in a deep breath, "How do you know my name?"
Another chuckle. "I know everything about you Lacey. I know absolutely everything.” He laughs again. “I know that your men are trying to find you. Mia, Hudson has almost lost his damned mind trying to find out who has you. Poor Barney, he’s like a puppy that’s lost his bone. Mia, Mia, Mia…”
I blink. "What do you know about me?" I'm surprised I managed to keep the fear out of my voice.
