“Tell him about Caleb,” I urged.
“Helene caught him talking to Caleb. We know he’s been secretive lately.”
“Benjamin goddamn Rossi’s name has come up more than once and I saw him talking to Caleb. We know the Rossis have gone to ground. If he’s using my goddamn son, I swear to God…” London growled into the phone.
“He needs to come back, London.” Vivienne paced the floor. “It can’t be like before. We almost lost him. We almost…”
London’s voice deepened. “I’ll make some calls. If he’s with Caleb or the Rossis, I’ll find out.”
“We’ll start tracking his cell from our end.” Riven glanced at Hunter who gave a nod. “Call if you find anything.”
“Will do, and Riven…”
Silence as he waited.
“I assure you, I had nothing to do with this.”
“Just find my goddamn brother, St. James. Find him and bring him home.”
He swiped and ended the call. I clenched my fists, trying to still the shakes, but there was no stopping whatever this was.
“If he’s in trouble…” I whispered.
Riven stepped closer. “He’s smart and capable, even if he is a little quirky. He’ll be okay, just you wait and see.”
But there was no truth in those words. Only the false ring of desperation in his tone. He didn’t believe that, which only made me shake harder.
SIXTEEN
Thomas
He was dressed for war. Black on black, worn leather shoulder straps that criss-crossed over his thick chest were crammed with black handguns and loaded magazines. I’d only ever seen Benjamin Rossi in tailored slacks and open-collared shirts, looking like he’d spent all day in the boardroom.
But not tonight.
Tonight, he was made for terror.
A cell rang, the sound low and dangerous. Benjamin reached into his pocket and withdrew it, glanced at the caller ID before he swiped to turn it to silent.
“Your car is safe here, we’ll all go in my Rover,” he declared.
Colt glanced at the glistening black beast, then bent down and picked up a heavy duffel bag.
“We have weapons, son,” Ben stated.
“I bring my own,” Colt answered simply and headed for the vehicle.
I said nothing and followed, realizing I hadn’t even thought of guns. The thick cross around my neck shifted as I turned and headed after the Son. But I’d made sure I had that. Tension grew inside me as Ben rounded the Ranger and climbed in, waiting for us to follow.
I said nothing as Colt heaved his bag onto the seat next to me and climbed in. The Range Rover’s engine growled into life. Doors closed and we pulled out, heading back out of the empty parking area that no doubt belonged to the building the Rossis owned.
I was pushed back into my seat as we accelerated hard, driving back onto the city streets.
“Do we have information?” Colt asked. “Is that what we’re doing here?”
Even he didn’t know.
Ben glanced into the rear-view mirror and met his gaze before suddenly turning sharply. Headlights flew past and people were a blur before we turned again. That ominous, heavy feeling returned. So I shifted my focus out the window, hit the button, and rolled down the window.
