“Then we’ll gladly take their help,” Hammer asserts, nodding. “We might take care of our own, but our clubs have Gunner and Honor in common. This makes us allies in my eyes. We’ll see you when you get here. Until then, we’ll find Delaney and start looking for Honor.”
“Be there as soon as I can.”
Gunner hangs up, and everyone starts speaking at once.
But I speak over them when the senator’s grandson is mentioned. “It can’t be him ‘cause he was in the cell not far from mine.” I look to Gunner, and for the second time in days, I make a decision that will affect my life and nod. Having Honor taken has opened my eyes.
CHAPTER8
SAVAGE
The waiting game is not something I like to deal with. I prefer action. I always have. But not knowing where Honor is, is driving me insane. It’s been hours, and still, we’ve got jack shit.
Dagger and the others got back with Delaney, and from the looks of her, she’ll be okay.
“Glacier’s here,” Gunner states, walking into the clubhouse.
I nod without saying anything. I haven’t been able to speak much. My mind is whirling with thoughts of the what-ifs that are fucking with my head.
Glacier walks in, and Gunner shows him toward Hammer, who introduces himself.
“Name’s Hammer, President of the Devil’s Riot MC, Southeast Charter.”
“Have a seat. My guys found Delaney not far from here. It seems she and a few deer had a battle of sorts, and she lost,” Hammer says, motioning for Glacier to join all of us.
Glacier looks in Delaney’s direction and seems to be taking her in before asking, “You okay?”
“I will be as soon as we find Honor,” she says, worrying her bottom lip.
Hammer motions for everyone to gather around the tables we’ve all pushed together, including Delaney and Glacier. If this didn’t include the two of them, we’d be having this conversation in church. But today, it’s happening here in the main room while everyone else is ordered to stay away for the time being. The ol’ ladies are on lockdown here, but they’re all in their rooms or in one or the others, giving us space.
“So, here’s what’s happening,” Hammer says, glancing around the table and giving a rundown of where we’re at right now. The bigger issue is, apparently,she has diabetes, and her levels are going up or some shit.”
Glacier and Gunner share a few words that I barely hear through the roaring in my ears. I don’t know what’s causing it, but it’s not the first time. It’s happened before, and when it happens, I struggle to focus.
“Those of you who are members,we know we’re at a standstill with the De La Rosa Cartel, and as forAvery’s siblings, those fuckwads are a pain in the ass. This being said, although one is more of a nuisance while the other is an all-out war, we’ve got to figure out if either of them has anything to do with this shit. We’ve already ruled out the senator’s grandson,” Hammer remarks, looking around the table. “If I had to take a wild guess, though, between the two, this shit stinks more of those bastards that share blood with my woman. If the De La Rosas thought they’d go after a woman, they’d want us to know it was them.”
“They don’t always, Prez,” Ruger speaks up, voice harsh and hands balled into fists. “Could be either one of them.”
“We need to get out there and check out their last known whereabouts,” Glock calls out. The two of them are blood brothers and are suspicious of anyone and everyone. They don’t allow anyone close to them. If you’re not one of their club brothers or an ol’ lady, they will be standoffish until they know you aren’t about to screw them over. I know it’s from their past, and I completely get where they’re coming from with their suspicion.
For the next thirty minutes, we go over what we’re doing while Cy works away at his computer.
Delaney’s stayed quiet throughout this, just watching us all and furrowing her brow. That is until now. Raising her hand, she gets our attention, and with a freaked-out voice, she says,“Something has to get done and soon. Her pump is dying.”
“What the fuck does that mean?” Gunner demands, narrowing his eyes at her.
I watch her closely and wait for her to answer, a sense of dread threatening to take hold of my gut. If Honor’s pump dies, does that mean she does?
“It means that soon, it won’t be working, so her body won’t be getting the insulin it needs. If she’s not found in the next few hours, she could wind up in a diabetic coma and possibly die,” Delaney retorts, loud and clear.
“Cy, get some drones up and going to check out Avery’s siblings’ hideouts,” Hammer orders, getting to his feet.
“On it, Prez,” Cy replies, fingers flying across the keyboard faster than I’ve ever seen him go before. When he looks up from the screen, he glances at Hammer and nods. “Done.”
“What about the Cartel?” Glock questions, not wanting to rule them out. “We can’t discount them.”
“We’ll look into them. Let’s rule out the siblings first,” Hammer replies. “I can feel it in my gut they’re behind this shit.”
