“You got it.” Diablo nods and shakes his head as he sees the two whores.
Stomping down the hall, through the front doors of the main room, I head for my bike just as Styxx, Ghost, Beast, and Hellhound pull in. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know my mood when Styxx’s gaze meets mine.
“What’s goin’ on?”
“Someone sent something to Jos at the salon. She called to thank me for it, thinkin’ it was me . . .” I let the words hang and swing a leg over, straddling my bike. “I don’t have time to talk about it now. I’ve got to get there before she takes off.”
“Why would she take off?” Hellhound asks, cocking a brow.Not one of them had gotten off their bikes.
“Two of the pocket pussies decided to help themselves to my room. They were on my bed when I opened the door, and I’m sure Jos heard the noises they were making.”
I don’t give any of them a chance to ask more questions and start my bike, kick the stand up, and hit the throttle, slinging rocks with the back tire as I shoot out of the parking area of the clubhouse out onto the road.
My gut churning the whole time.

“She left without telling me anything,” Samantha, Josephine’s mom, says, her brows furrowed, and she wrings her fingers together before pointing in the direction of Josephine’s office. “Last I saw of her, she went into her office with the chocolates and card that had been delivered for her.”
“Thanks, Samantha.” I nod and head into Josephine’s office, finding the candy in which she was talking about along with the card. I nearly see red as I read the little note. No wonder she thought it was from me. Whoever sent it signed it with an S.
“What is it?” Styxx asks, coming up behind me.
I hand it to him to read as a thought pops into my head. What if it was the Scarlet Needles? That could be what the S stands for. But why go after Josephine? She doesn’t have anything in connection to them. It’s not like she has a medical background.
Fuck.
Isabelle didn’t have a connection at first either, but again, no one knew she was mine and Styxx’s baby sister we thought was gone forever. The fact she’d been so close to us all this time still has a way of prickling my skin like a thousand needles. She’d been taken and given to those junkies to raise. They were going to use her pretty much for her organs. They already took one of her kidneys, damnit.
I grind my back teeth, clench my fists together, and turn to see all of my brothers who’d followed taking a look at that note.
Hellhound meets my gaze. I’m sure his thoughts mirror mine. Same with Styxx, considering Isabelle is Hellhound’s ol’ lady.
“Let’s get back to the clubhouse and find out what’s going on,” Styxx grumbles.
“I’ve got to find Jos first.” There’s no way I’m going back to the clubhouse until I find her.
Twisting, I pick up the box of chocolates, and close it, not missing the fact several pieces were already missing. I take the card from my brother and start for the back door. I’m not going back through the front. I nod to Samantha as I pass her. “I’ll tell her to call you soon as I get to her.”
“Just tell her to text me. No need to make a fuss over calling,” Samantha says, waving a hand nonchalantly. She’s one hell of a woman, and I hate to admit, being around her has kind of been hard. I’m not one for emotional bullshit, but she reminds me of my mom before she was killed.
I shake the thoughts away before they can take over and put the card and chocolates in my saddle bag as my phone rings.
Frowning, I pull it out of my pocket to check the ID. Seeing Josephine’s name pop up, I tell the others as I answer. “Jos, where are you?”
“Ugh . . . this is TJ,” the male voice stammers. “I was calling from the lady’s phone.”
“You with the lady right now, TJ?” I demand, not having a good feeling about this. I don’t know who this person is, but at least they had the right idea to call.
“Yeah, she’s being loaded into an ambulance right now.”
The fuck?
“Ambulance?” I straddle my bike. “What happened?”
“Don’t know, really, but she ran her car into a ditch. Some guy tried to take her, but me and my two buds, we stopped him. She hit her head on the street,” he explains.
“Where?”
