“The girl escaped. Get her.”
Bronx was so confident that Kelly wouldn’t escape that it made me feel sick inside. So far he hadn’t taken his eyes off me, and Tamara was practically dancing with glee over the prospect of me being at the receiving end of Bronx’s brutality. Monk left through the same door that I’d pushed Kelly through without question.
“Get on your fucking feet.”
I knew that I was in trouble. I must have laid there a little too long for his liking, because the next thing I knew I was savagely kicked in the side. Bronx had held nothing back. Tamara giggled.
“I said fucking get up!” he snarled.
The kick took my breath away, and I grabbed my side as pain radiated through my body. I tried to move, but it was impossible to do when I couldn’t breathe. As I struggled to fill my lungs, I slowly rolled to my side and managed to crawl to my knees.
“That’s just a taste of what’s coming your way,” Bronx warned.
I didn’t care.
Kelly had gotten away, and that was all that mattered.
Chapter 26
Doc
Oz was able to find out who owned the car that Harlow was traveling in based on the license plate information I’d given him. It was registered to a woman by the name of Tamara Pennington. She was renting a house in an old mining town about an hour away. Most mining towns were abandoned, but there were still a few that housed small populations—ranch workers, people that wanted to hide away from civilization, vacationers that wanted to explore surrounding ghost towns and the rich history of the area.
It would be hard to sneak up on Bronx in an old mining town, so we decided to leave our bikes and take Snake’s truck. He’d just bought a dark green, four-door GMC Canyon, so it was plenty big enough for all of us. The four of us piled inside and headed out. I wanted to drive, but my brothers were smart enough not to let me.
“So how we gonna do this?” Snake asked while pulling onto the highway. “I doubt a truck like this will go unnoticed where we’re going.”
“You might be surprised, Brother,” Cole responded. He was sitting in the back with Savage. “Some assholes care more about what they’re driving than what their homes look like.”
He was right. I watched the scenery go by, trying not to think about what was happening to Harlow, trying not to fucking lose it. I’d never thought I would be in a situation where a rival club would be able to get to me and my club by using my woman. I knew it could and did happen, but it wasn’t something I had ever wanted for Harlow. She didn’t deserve this. She didn’t deserve to live a life of danger and uncertainty, which is what she’d be getting with me.
I was a selfish bastard for wanting to keep her.
I clenched my teeth as notions of letting her go ran rampant through my head. Could I live without her? It would be hell, but at least I’d know that she was safe. I wondered how my brothers did it. How they brought babies into our world, knowing what they knew about it. I was beginning to understand why they had fought against their women so hard in the beginning.
And why, in the end, they’d all lost the battle.
