At this bit of news, he surprises me, and I cock a brow. “She didn’t want you to go to an appointment with her? Why?” That doesn’t sound like my best friend.
“Don’t know.” Viper shrugs, pulls his phone out, stares at the screen, and shakes his head. “Now she’s saying we’re not going to look at houses, and she wants me to meet her at some address.”
Something about it doesn’t make sense. It really didn’t make sense. Furrowing my brow, I pull my new phone out of the pocket of the hoodie I stole from Kevlar. “What’s the address?”Viper relays it to me, and I look it up on my phone, finding it’s nothing more than a parcel of land. “This isn’t any of the places she showed me you guys were looking at.”I glance up from my phone to look between Viper and Kevlar. “Please tell me she didn’t go alone.”
“No fuckin’ way she’s going anywhere without someone watching out for her,” Viper grinds out and does something on his phone before putting the damn thing to his ear.
Kevlar grabs my arms, hauls me up and into his side, and pulls his phone out.
“No answer,” Viper snarls.
“Vulture,” Kevlar growls. “Check the location of the prospect’s and Jade’s phones.” He pauses for a minute, tenses further, and fury radiates off him. “Right, get the others together and meet us at the front of the clubhouse.” Hanging up, he looks at Viper. “Vulture says the phones are in two different places.”
“Fuck.” Viper’s voice lowers threateningly, and he moves, heading for the exit of the gym they built at the back of the clubhouse. You have to go outside and walk toward the front to go back inside.
By the time we reach the front of it, a truck is squealing into the parking lot. It comes to a halt as I take in the people inside the cab. A small breath of relief whooshes past my lips. It’s Jade and Wrecker.
“Viper,” I utter and cling to Kevlar to keep myself upright. My legs feel weak and like I was going to fall if I didn’t hold on.
“Jade,” Viper roars and rushes the truck. Throwing the passenger door open, he yanks a crying Jade into his arms as he demands,“The fuck happened, prospect?”
“Jade was coming out of the doctor’s office when someone tried to nab her. She fought ’em off long enough for me to get to her. Sorry, Prez, I was trying to stay back enough so she wouldn’t know she had a tail. I fucked up.”
At least he admitted to it.
“They took my purse.” Jade’s voice hitches, and she leans into Viper. “They took everything I had in it. My phone. Wallet. And my surprise I was going to give to you,” she breathes, shaking her head.
“Surprise?” Viper quips, sounding disbelieving. “What are you talkin’ about? You went for your appointment.”
“I know I did.” Jade rolls her eyes and looks totally upset. “It was an ultrasound appointment, and I wanted to do something special for it so I asked the doctor’s office if I could order something and send it to them so I could surprise you later with it.” She stomps her foot and looks upset. “I wanted to do something special, and now it’s ruined. And on top of that, I was almost kidnapped.”
The way she says this makes me want to laugh. That or stare at her like she’s grown two heads.
“Darlin’, I think you getting nearly kidnapped is more important than whatever surprise you were trying to do,” Viper grumbles.
And in that moment, it might have been the wrong thing to say. I know this, considering the way Jade’s face turned a beet red.
“So, you’re saying me wanting to surprise you with the fact we’re pregnant with not just one but two babies isn’t important?” Jade snaps, shoves out of his arms, and stomps into the clubhouse. “Well, thanks a lot. See if I try to do anything else for you.”
“Oh shit,” I remark, staring wide-eyed at the doors.My best friend is pregnant with twins. No wonder she’s been all crazy lately.
“The hell just happened?” Kevlar mutters.
Viper looks pale and ready to keel over at any moment. “Twins,” he utters, totally in a daze.
“Viper, I suggest you snap out of it and go see to Jade,” I speak up. The words are barely out of my mouth before he’s doing just that.
“Come on, baby, let’s get inside. I’ve got to still figure out what the fuck happened,” Kevlar grunts, leading me in the same direction Jade and Viper went with Wrecker directly behind us.
CHAPTER16
KEVLAR
Stepping into the clubhouse, I let out a heavy breath, shaking my head. Talk about wanting to do my head in. It’s a good thing I’m not Viper right about now. He’s got his plate full to the point it’s nearly overflowing. Right now, his ass needs to deal with his woman and let us take care of the rest.
I keep Rosemary tucked against me while Viper grabs hold of Jade, pulls her into his arms, and whispers something none of us can hear. She nods and sinks into him. He turns and looks behind me. “Wrecker, tell us what happened,” he commands.
“What’s going on?” Cyprus demands, having just come into the room, Noelle right behind him.
