Drae looks hesitantly over at Thor and Smoke sits down at the same table as Drae, opening his laptop that he’d already grabbed. Thor gives him a chin lift and Drae answers it, putting it on speaker.

“Hello?”

“Did you like my little display? You didn’t listen to us before, and now you’re going to pay,”a voice seethes through the line and Drae pales.

“What the fuck do you want, Ghost? I told you I was never going to be coming back. You all are dead to me.”

Oh, fuck... His dad.

I shoot a nervous look at Thor, who’s beyond pissed. I thought the feds cleaned them out.

A dark chuckle comes through the line.“Yeah, that’s not how it works, son. You thought you were all so clever joining with the feds to wipe us out, but they didn’t get all of us. Now tell me, have you heard from your lovely Jane lately?”

Drae pales further, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he swallows. “She texted this morning and sent a picture of them at the zoo.”

“Hmmm. You might want to take a closer look. I mean, they’ve been at her parents for two weeks now. I’m surprised she hasn’t contacted you more.”

“How did you know they were at her parents?”

More laughter comes through the line.“We’ve been following you three around for a while now. Time is ticking, son. Will you find them before time runs out? They aren’t the only ones in danger, either. A certain woman who is very close to someone in your club has been here for about a week and she’s very lovely. Would be a shame if they all met an untimely demise.”

The call is cut and I feel Mae’s body stiffen against me right as her phone vibrates in my cut. Earlier she had gotten it from the room they were getting ready in and asked me to hold onto it.

Pulling it out, there’s a text notification from an unknown number.

“Do you want me to see what it is first?” I ask her.

She bites her lip and nods as she steps back a bit, wringing her fingers together. Punisher steps forward, pulling her into his arms as they watch me.

Opening up the text, I feel like I want to puke.

There are numerous pictures of Lillian being taken by different guys. Her body is all black and blue, and I’m pretty sure her leg is broken. The last is of her chained up in a cell as multiple men piss on her. There’s also a video attached but I’m not playing it. Not right now at least.

It also doesn’t escape my notice that whoever took the pictures made sure that Preston, Phillip, Bruce, and X were involved in everything.

I forward everything to Thor, Smoke, and me before tucking her phone back into my cut.

A strangled noise has me looking up and I’m betting that fucker sent Drae pictures of Jane and Lindsey as well.

“The text was about Mom... wasn’t it?” Mae asks me and I pull her back into my arms.

“I’m sorry, Sunshine,” I whisper to her and feel her body shake as a sob escapes her.

“Alright. Ladies and whoever was in the weddings, how about we all change? We’ll all meet back here and have Church. You too, Drae and Mae. Sasha, Lex, Colt, and Ethan will guard the gate first.”

I guide Mae back toward the room where her stuff is and help her gather everything up before heading up to my room here at the clubhouse. Once inside, I lock the door and lay everything on the bed.

Mae sinks down on the bed, her face streaked from her mascara that’s running. “They were in the pictures, weren’t they?” she asks me.

I kneel before her, taking her hands in mine. “I’m sorry, Sunshine, but yeah, they were. All four of them.”

She takes a deep breath and squares her shoulders. “I want to see them.”

I hesitate and her face hardens. “Please, Liam. I don’t want to see them for the first time in front of everyone.”

Sighing, I pull out her phone and hand it to her. She takes it, her hands shaking slightly and a sob escapes her as she goes through the pictures. When she gets to the video, she hesitates again, but hits play.

The fuckers recorded beating Lillian until she passed out and then raping her while she was unconscious.
