I hesitated.
She pulled back, wiping her eyes. “Jason, where is Elias?”
My jaw tightened. “We’ll find him. I promise you that.”
“What if something happens to him?—?”
“Wewillfind him.” I pulled her to me again, running my hand up and down her back, trying to soothe her. “And anyone who touched him is going to regret it.”
Tears began to stream down her cheeks, but she nodded.
“Come on, let’s get you out of here.” I lifted her into my arms. As we reached the stairs, I paused. “Kane, if you ever need anything, you have my number.”
Kane kept his gaze on Colter, but he gave a small nod. “You can have Daisy. Beau and his organization are mine.” He swung his head until our eyes met. “Everyone in this town involved, is mine.”
“Understood.”
My phone rang. “Tighten your grip around my neck.” She locked her arms around me, and I adjusted her in my arms, freeing one hand to pull my phone out, smiling at the screen.
“What?” Cora asked.
“Someone’s waiting for us.”
She began wiggling enough that I was forced to set her on her feet.
Cora nearly tripped over herself getting up the stairs. When we reached the door, Thomas was waiting for us with Elias in his arms.
“Where was he?” she asked as she took him and began kissing him.
“Daisy didn’t make it far. Ranger found out and he followed her.” Thomas glanced over his shoulder at Ranger.
The man gave a small salute and smiled.
Tears ran down Cora’s cheeks. “Thank you.”
I ran my hand over Elias’s head, my jaw clenching. “Where is Daisy?”
Thomas leveled his gaze at me. “Dead.”
Normally, I might have been a little perturbed at having that pleasure stripped of me, but I was so happy to have Cora and Elias back to take offense. “You?”
“She took my best friend’s child. I made it quicker than it should have been.” Thomas lowered his gaze. “And I thought you’d want to stay with Cora and Elias. Are we good?”
I nodded. “Yeah. Kane wants Beau.”
Thomas nodded. “Noted. We should probably get going. Shade said they’d made arrangements to keep the cops at bay for only so long.”
“Yeah,” I replied and turned to Cora. “Let’s get him home. He’s probably hungry.”
She nodded and grinned. “Yeah, let’s go home.”
Chapter Twenty-Nine
CORA
I yawnedas I walked out of the bedroom.
Jason had moved us from the overly large, two-story place to a more modest single-story home. He’d thought I’d appreciate a place without the memories of the last one.
