I know the man has a thing for Bristol, the two of them are friends, and he’s never gone further with her. He claims with her working for the club, he’d never go there.

“Calm down, brother,” Reaper orders and looks to Finnegan. “I know you’ve already started lookin’ into it. So, start fuckin’ talking.”

“You’re right, I have.” Finnegan shrugs and looks at me. “The security cams need to be updated, but I got into them,” he says, pulling his phone out and turning it in my direction.

I take it from him and watch the footage. A film of red slides into place over my eyes, and a rage like no other builds in my veins. Lifting my head, I glance around the waiting room, finding who I’m looking for. “TJ, come here,” I order. The kid hadn’t left yet, having said he wanted to make sure the ‘lady’ was okay.

TJ comes over and, without a word, looks at the phone screen.

“That the guy who attempted to take Jos?” I demand and wait for him to answer.

“Yeah,” he doesn’t waste time answering. “That’s the guy. Don’t have to see his face to know who he is.”

“Fuck.”

“I’m going to go find her,” Beast snarls, his voice sounding like that of the beast he was named to be. One thing about Beast is he has no problem tearing a man apart if he’s crossed.

“We’ll find her,” Reaper growls and looks at me. “I know you want to go be with Jos, but we need to find Bristol first.”

“I know,” I mutter. I don’t like the idea of leaving, but I can’t leave my brothers hanging.

“I’ll stay here,” Finnegan announces. “I need to talk to my second in command anyway.”

I cock a brow at the news and shake my head. “Right.” Grunting, I head for the doors.

I have my tablet in the saddlebag. As long as it has a signal, I’ll be able to access information on my computer. All of my programs interlock, and I should be able to find out if Bristol has her phone on her. If she does, I’ll be able to track it, and I hope like hell she has it on her. If not, I’ll have to look at the camera feed that Finnegan didn’t get into.

The fucker thinks he’s a smart-ass saying we need to update the cams, but those are just decoys. I have others that will show everything I need to see, as long as the asshole who took her parked where the cameras can see him.

Pulling up the information for Bristol, I ping her phone and let out a heavy breath. If by the location of where her phone is, then she has it with her. Regardless, it’s definitely not at Keeper’s Pub.

“GPS on her phone is showing she’s at Dogwood Park,” I announce to those standing around me.

“Let’s go,” Reaper commands. “This fucker, when we get our hands on him, is going to die a slow, miserable death.”

Ain’t that the fucking truth. Whoever this is fucking trying to take my woman and who took Bristol needs to be taken apart limb by limb.

Dogwood Park is mostly a wooded area filled with hiking trails, picnic areas, and a large area of green the size of a football field. If we weren’t following the coordinates of Bristol’s phone, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

We park not far from where the GPS says her phone is and go on foot. My stomach tightens, and I don’t have a good feeling about this. Not in the least bit.

Heading deeper into a wooded area, eyes to the ground, I notice where the grounds have been disturbed. “This way,” I mutter and jerk my chin in the direction the disturbance continues.

We walk about three yards farther before I notice a form on the ground that doesn’t fit in with the rest, and in my gut, I fucking know it’s Bristol.

Moving at a faster pace, my brothers with me, we run the rest of the way, getting to her only to come to a dead stop at the sight in front of us.

“Oh fuck,” Styxx snarls.

Thanatos moves in quickly, with Beast dropping down to the opposite side.

“I’m going to need my kit out of my saddlebags,” Thanatos states, keeping his eyes on Bristol, examining her. He’s not just the Chaplain for the club but also a medic.

“I’ll get it,” Tombstone yells, already turning to head in the direction of the bikes.

Beast tears his cut off and strips his shirt off in order to gently put it on Bristol’s naked body, but he can’t put it on her completely. Not without hurting her. None of us can move her yet.
