“Catalina?”
“She showed up at his door bringing trouble. He’s killed one of our men, Riddick.”
“No, that’s impossible.” My disbelief evident in my tone.
Abigail stretched sleepily, catching my eye. Her smile faded quickly as she saw my expression. Concern filled her features as she got up from the bed and made her way to me. "Is everything okay?" she whispered.
I shook my head and she placed her hand on my knee, waiting patiently for me to finish the call.
"I know him, Prez. He's quiet and keeps to himself, but he's a good man."
"I'm telling you a fact, Riddick. He killed a member of the Central Texas Chapter. There's no going back from that."
"There must have been a reason. You don't just kill one of your own."
"Possibly. But I can't tell you what that reason is unless he shows his face and tells us the truth about what happened."
"Where is he?"
"Macabre tracked him to Memphis. He spotted him in Colorado this morning, but things didn't go well. It looks like he may be headed your way."
"Damn it, Prez."
"Listen, I don't know what's going on with that girl, but I'm pretty sure the cartels are involved. They've been quiet so far, but they won't stay that way for long. I have a bad feeling about this, brother, and he's not listening to reason. Maybe you could talk some sense into him."
"Knowing him, he's more worried about the girl than himself."
"He fell for her, didn't he?"
"You know how it goes, Prez."
"Find him."
"Yes, Sir."
“And Riddick, be careful. We don’t know who we can trust right now.”
“I will, Prez. I’ll keep my eyes open.”
As I hung up the phone, I couldn’t believe what I had just heard. Snare, my brother, had killed one of our own. And now he was on the run with Catalina, my wife’s friend. I had to find him before it was too late.
Abigail searched my face, waiting for an answer, but I didn't know where to start. I stared at her while returning one of Snare's calls, but the phone just rang and rang with no answer.
"Damn it!" I stood up and paced in frustration.
"Riddick, please tell me what's going on."
"Catalina is in trouble," I said.
"What? How do you know this?"
"She's with Snare."
"Oh?"
"Snare is now considered rogue and has killed a member.”
“What? Who?”
