Blaise didn’t turn from me. “No. She was taken from the back lot of Carmichael’s office. Her purse, phone, everything was left inside. The back door was left open. The trash she had been taking out was left beside the dumpster. She was taken by surprise while her back was turned.”

A wave of nausea hit me, and I dropped my head into my hands.

“Levi is getting footage from security cameras in the entire area, and he has Six checking the tread of the tire. Do you know anyone who would use her against you? Who would know to? I know you piss off people regularly, but who have you pissed off lately?” Blaise asked me.

I needed air. The plane was too fucking small. Why wasn’t it moving? I had to get back there. Fucking hell! Why had I let her keep the damn job? This was my fault. I couldn’t tell her no, and now, this. I ran my hands through my hair, pulling at it as if ripping it from my scalp would help.

“Gage?”

“I DON’T KNOW!” I roared. “If they’ve hurt her …” I couldn’t go there.

The tightening in my throat got worse.

Touching my neck, I paused and looked back at Blaise. “Destiny.”

Blaise frowned. “Destiny couldn’t have done this.”

“But who does she know?” I asked.

“What did you do to her that would make you think she’d go to these measures? I’m doubting your dick is just that good.”

Huck cleared his throat, and I realized he’d not told Blaise about the other night.

“Destiny said some shit to Shiloh. About Levi whipping her ass and lies about Gage watching and getting off. I was there. Didn’t happen. Anyway, she then shared some other shit. Shiloh was falling apart and started crying. He snapped,” Huck said, nodding his head at me. “Held Destiny by her neck against the wall until she was turning blue. Took me and Levi to get him off her.”

Blaise looked murderous. “And you didn’t think I should fucking know this?”

Huck bowed his head. “I knew you should know. I just didn’t want you to be hard on Gage. He’s working this shit out with Shiloh. You know it’s different this time. He’s had a lot to fucking accept this week, and Shiloh does keep his insanity in check and calm him.”

Blaise swung his glare to me. “Were you going to kill Destiny?”

“Yes,” I replied honestly.

“And that’s him being in check and calmer?” Blaise asked.

Huck cleared his throat. “It’s Gage, boss. He’s never going to be completely sane. It’s why he’s a weapon. He’s a lunatic.”

Blaise put his phone back to his ear. “Find out who Destiny Ward is related to and everyone she’s been in contact with. Pull all her phone records. Work hours. Everything from this past week.”

He dropped his phone and looked at me. “Don’t kill because your woman cries next time. Unless her life is in danger.”

I clenched my teeth, and my hands balled into fists. I managed a nod.

Blaise stood up and got in my face. “You fucking lose your shit, and this is what happens!” he roared. “Your woman is in danger, and we’ve got to find her because you can’t control your goddamn temper when it comes to her. Don’t make me regret my decisions, Gage. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?”

I took a deep breath. He was right. I fucking hated that he was right.

“Yes, boss,” I replied.

He nodded and sat back down. “We’ll find her. When we do, then you get to fucking kill someone. Happy?”

No. I wouldn’t be happy until I had Shiloh in my arms, safe. Even then, I wasn’t sure there would be enough people to kill to calm the fury inside me.

“I’m putting fucking trackers under their goddamn skin. All three of them,” Blaise muttered as he glared out the window.

The plane was in the air, headed home, when Blaise’s phone rang.

“Yes.”
