“Chance is sending men out. A missing woman is a priority. Keep trying to call them,” he announced. Derek arched an eyebrow and said nothing.
My worry escalated as minutes ticked by, and my concern grew. Cami would never ignore the fact that Brandy was hurt, and I recognised something bad had happened.
“What else?” I muttered, and Levi looked up.
“Babe?” he asked.
“What else, Levi? These last few weeks have been nonstop drama. We escaped that back in Florida. But since that shootout in the street, everything seems to have gone wrong. These stalkers, this cruelty, the women being killed. It’s one thing after another, and I keep asking myself, what’s next?” I complained.
“Let me tell you a story about Phoenix, our sister in Hellfire,” Levi said. For the next twenty minutes, Levi kept my mind occupied with regaling me about Phoenix Michaelson. After hearing about her and then a woman called Artemis, I began to be thankful my problems seemed so small compared to theirs.
Levi’s phone rang, and I leapt to my feet as he snapped an answer into it. He listened, and his shoulders relaxed, and I guessed it was good news. He cut the line and looked at me.
“Chance found them; they’re on their way with an escort,” Levi exclaimed, and a smile broke out across my face.
“Thank God,” I breathed. And then Levi’s words hit me. “An escort?”
“They ran into trouble, but everyone is safe,” Levi said, taking me in his arms and rubbing my back.
“What is going on here?” I erupted, and Levi made soothing noises.
“I intend to find out,” Levi promised.
As I clung to his cut, I nodded.
Ten minutes later, Cami dashed into the room. She had a cut on her head but appeared fine. Riley followed close on her heels; only he looked far worse.
“What happened?” Derek demanded.
“We were carjacked on the way here. A truck forced us off the road, and someone tried to grab Cami. I fought him off, and he jumped in the car and fled. He said something worrying, that if he took Cami, then Madisen would give herself up to save her,” Riley explained, and I clung to Cami.
A gasp left me as Riley’s words sunk in.
“Cami fought like a bitch. If she hadn’t, he’d have got her into the motor,” Riley said with an admiring stare.
“So, Madisen’s cousins are being targeted for Madisen to give herself up?” Derek mused.
“Looks like it, boss. Any news on Brandy?” Riley questioned, sending me a concerned stare.
Levi moved away and was talking quietly into his phone. Two of his brothers had taken up stances by the door. Their looks were threatening, and it was clear they would not take any shit.
“What does all of this mean?” Tami asked.
“It means someone knows you all are Madisen’s weak link,” Derek spoke, and there was anger in his voice.
“How’s Brandy?” Cami demanded.
“She’s in recovery. Come, I’ll take you to her,” Tami said.
The sisters walked away as Levi approached. There was a stern expression on his face, and he looked like he was gearing up for an argument.
“I’ve spoken to Chance. I’m taking Madisen and the girls to the clubhouse,” Levi stated.
“Yeah, we can pick them up in the morning,” Daithi replied.
“No, they’re gonna stay there until this shit is over,” Levi said.
“Not happening,” Dane snapped before anyone else could reply.
