“No. I swear to you, Py, if I did, I’d tell you. I wasn’t getting involved. You know me. I stay out of this shit. But if the situation starts a war in my city, then I’ll get involved. Now I know that my brother’s woman is taken, I’m all up in everyone’s business. I’ll call you when I have answers, and best believe, Py, I’m going to get them.”
“I ‘preciate that, brother. Tomorrow, we’re ridin’ to Gallagher mansion to debrief, and then I’ll be in Indianapolis.”
“Do the Gallagher’s know that Chloe is your woman?” I can tell by the teasing in his voice that he knows damn well they don’t.
“We had one night, Kel. One night and I’ve not fucked anyone since. No one has got my attention like she has. The moment I found out she’s missing—”
“You’ve gone all out to find her. I get it, brother. You know I’ve got your back, no matter what. Just be careful. You may trust the Gallagher’s, but I sure as fuck don’t. When it comes to family, people can get shady as fuck.”
Oh, don’t I fucking know it.
The door to my room opens, but I don’t raise my head. I already know who it is. I’m just surprised it took him this long.
“I’ll talk to you soon, brother.”
“You know it. The moment I have news, it’s yours.”
The call ends, and I feel fucking relieved to have my boy on the job. He’s no sloucher. He’ll get what I need.
“You got somethin’ to tell me, Py?” Ace questions.
“The night that Raptor and I went to Dynamite, I met a woman, and I swear to fuck, Prez, she blew my fuckin’ mind.”
Ace chuckles. “You can’t stop thinkin’ ‘bout her, can you? Who is she?”
Seriously? “No. When Makenna told me Chloe was missin’, I never felt fear like it.”
His eyes darken with worry. “Fuck, it was Chloe? Damn, Py, the Gallagher’s aren’t goin’ to take it well you fuckin’ with her.”
I stare at the man who is more than a brother to me. The man is someone I respect more than any other. “I couldn’t give a fuck if they like it or not. She’s mine, and I’ll take anyone out who even tries to take her from me.”
He stares at me a beat before he nods. “I’ve known you long enough to know you wouldn’t do this on a whim. Chloe means somethin’ to you, and that means she’s somethin’ to us. We’re gonna get your woman back, brother. We won’t stop ‘til we do.”
I give him a chin lift as gratitude fills me. This is why I’m part of the club. The brotherhood we have is an unbreakable bond. I’ll do anything for my brothers, and in turn their old ladies, just as they would for me.
The past five years, the club has been in harmony. The traitors were weeded out and we were able to build from the pain and suffering the club and the old ladies had suffered. We had too fucking long of living with a president who only cared about himself. Jaws was the man who brought me here, and for that I’m grateful, but by the time I was fully immersed in this world, I finally started to see the facade he was showing. Never did I think that he was so fucking cruel he could sell his daughter to protect himself. The princess of the club should have been protected, revered, and cherished. Instead, Jaws handed her over to a rival club and allowed those monsters to rape and beat her. The day the club uncovered what he was up to was the day he died.
Having Ace as our president was the greatest thing for our club. He’s a great leader, and I’m proud to be alongside him.
“Church,” he tells me, and I nod. “We’re gonna get her back,” he assures me.
Ten minutes later and I’m walking into the room where we hold ‘Church’.
“This morning, Makenna Gallagher came to me askin’ for our help. Her niece, Chloe Gallagher, has been missin’ for twelve days and no one has heard a word.” I fist my hands, hating that I’m sitting here waiting on word to find her. I push every scenario out of my mind, praying that she’s still alive. I need more information. How does a woman go missing without a trace?
“Okay, what are we missin’?” Raptor questions as he glances between Prez and me.
“The night you and Py went to Dynamite, you met Chloe,” Ace tells him, and I watch as realization dawns on him. “Chloe’s Pyro’s woman. When we get her back, he’s claimin’ her. So, who’s ridin’ with us to Gallagher Manor to get information tomorrow?” There’s no question about helping, just figuring out who’s with us.
I watch as every brother raises their hand. Fuck. This is why they’re my brothers. No questions asked, no hesitation. They’ve got my back.
“Let’s go get Py’s woman. Fuck waitin’ for tomorrow,” Raptor says once Ace drops his gavel and ends the meeting.
I get to my feet and push away from the table. By the time night falls, I want to know exactly where Chloe is.
