This woman drives me fucking out of my mind. “No.”
“I’m not asking permission.”
“Too bad. You need it.” I stalk over to her. “You can go, just not now.”
She looks past me to Theo. “Blake and I can go to the hospital send someone with us if you must, but I’m going.”
“No,” he says. “You’re not going alone and I sure as fuck am not about to put my woman in danger. Or you. Listen to Christian, Mia. We’ll let you know when it’s safe.”
She looks back at me like I’m the spawn of Satan. Like I made Theo say this. And she knows, she fucking knows he isn’t about to let Blake go. Not if there’s the slightest chance of danger.
Mia presses her lips together. “Asshole.”
“Message received, sweetness. We’re going to take care of that that fucking piece of trash,” I say. “And then, when I come back, we’ll talk.”
* * *
“Okay, why is Mia so fucking pissed at you?” Theo asks, after waiting until we hit the road.
With a sigh, I switch gears. “Ask your damned cousin,” I say.
He laughs and shakes his head. “I’m asking you.”
“It’s complicated.” I narrow my eyes.
“Love then?”
“Fuck off Theo. Or I’ll find my sister another husband.”
Now he really laughs. “She loves me.”
“She’s young, she’ll get over it.” I grip the wheel tight, and my chest is tight, too.
I’m not worried about the whole Frank shit. We’ll get him, we’ll find out what the fuck he’s been up to and why he’s targeting Mia. And if he’s working for others? Fuck that. We’ll find that, too.
Time has come and gone for us to play the waiting game.
Anyone in our world would see the fire as an act of war.
Perhaps the first steps into the battleground, but an act of war. And I intend to take this guy out and enjoy myself for Mia. For all she’s had to endure.
God forbid if I find out he had anything to do with her rape.
“Where was he seen?” I ask Theo.
“Someone saw him going coming from a seedy hotel just out of town. With his ugly ass photo circulating, he either left and came back or I figure laid low until now. He thought Mia was gonna be there. I’m guessing from the note, he didn’t care which. It was sent to Reaper.”
I nod. “Ballsy.”
“Fucking stupid.”
“That, too,” I say.
“But yeah, this fucker was spotted heading out to the gas station near the hotel for cigarettes, malt liquor and snacks—”
“A real upscale dude.”
“He was seen, caught on the security, and spotted heading back. The place is surrounded. He’s on MC territory. And ours.” With those words from Theo, we fall silent.
