“What about Jordan?” Colt exclaims.
Oh man. He’s going to go apeshit and probably punch me.
“They have him. Want to talk to us.”
“Who has him?” Bear grabs me by the shoulders and guides me down to the closest chair.
“Spit it out already!” Remy screams so loudly I can’t help but flinch.
“Give him a second,” Bear snaps at him before turning back to me. “Take a deep breath, bro. In through the nose, out through the mouth. Stay calm. It’s going to be okay.”
In through the nose, out through the mouth. In through the nose, out through the mouth. By the third time I do as I’m told, my chest doesn’t feel as tight.
“He knows how to breathe!” Remy grumbles.
“He’s upset, so how about you ease up,” Colt suggests. “Trust me, I’m just as anxious as you are to hear what he has to say since it involves my stepson.”
“You’re not married to Josie yet,” Remy points out.
“Close enough! Now, please, RJ, what’s going on with Jordan?”
Taking one last deep breath, I finally break the news to them. “The Devil Hounds have him.”
My brothers are all silent.
Hugo is the first to speak when he goes to sit back down in his chair. “Well, that’s just fucking great. I thought you all told the mother chapter that the Hounds wouldn’t be a problem for the Kings!”
“We didn’t think they would be,” Remy replies as he retakes his own seat at the head of the table while glaring at Barrett. He runs his fingers through his dirty-blond hair to get it out of his face, then asks, “Bear, what did you do?”
“Why do you think this is my fault?” Barrett huffs.
“Oh, I don’t know. Maybe because you slept with his daughter and took her virginity on your ex-wife’s wedding day?”
“It doesn’t matter what set this off,” Colt remarks. “All we can do is arm up and go to Clayton to get Jordan back!”
“And walk right into what could be Perry’s trap to kill us all?” Remy asks.
“What other option do we have? Wait around for every other Savage King on the East Coast to get here for backup?” Colt asks. “No. We’re not waiting. I’m going tonight, even if I have to go alone.”
“My own brothers are going to get me killed one of these days,” Remy mutters while fisting a handful of his hair. After giving it a final tug, he slaps both of his palms down on the table. “Fine. Get packing. We leave in thirty.”
“Why can’t we go now?” Colt asks. “We’re all here.”
“My guns and ammo aren’t! And I’ll be damned if I go over there with one clip. I want to see Avery too…” Remy trails off without explaining why he’s got to see his girlfriend.
“If it becomes a shootout, we’re fucked,” Hugo says. “You need to call the Fury brothers and tell them what’s going on. The Devil Hounds don’t have as many chapters as we do, but they’ve got enough around the country to cause problems for our other chapters.”
“Yeah, I’ll go make the call and stock up at home,” Remy agrees. “The rest of you do the same. Be at Greer’s in thirty. Not a minute later, RJ!”
“Yeah, okay,” I agree with a nod as I get to my feet. “I’m ready. Sorry about before. I won’t lose my shit again.”
“Good. Because we don’t have time to hold your hand,” Colt tells me before he walks out.
