“Why wouldn’t they put that on her chart? Why would it be a secret?” Kashton asks.
“She can’t be.” I shake my head in denial. It has to be a mistake. “She’s on birth control. You put her on the shot.”
“Who did?” Gavin asks.
“You did,” I growl, tired of playing this damn game.
His frown deepens, and he steps into me. “I haven’t seen her.”
“I messaged you the morning of the wedding,” I say, pulling my cell from my pocket. “Gave you the time and hotel and asked you to meet us there to administer the shot.” I go to our conversation, and it’s the last text between us.
He pulls his cell out and shows me our texting history. He does not have what my cell has. “Tyson, I didn’t…”
“You didn’t, but you sent the kid…” I trail off.
“Who?” Gavin demands.
I give him my back, running my hands through my hair. “FUCK!” That motherfucker tricked me. “Jackson,” I growl.
“What does he have to do with this?” Gavin asks, knowing who I’m referring to.
“He was the one who showed up at the hotel and administered Lake’s birth control,” I snap. “He said you were in surgery and that you sent him.” I even called Gavin the moment the kid told me he sent him. Gavin’s phone went to voicemail, so I figured he was in surgery.
“I’m sorry, Tyson, but I did no such thing.” Gavin shakes his head.
Somehow, Jackson intercepted Gavin’s cell and made sure he gave Lake something else? What the fuck was in that shot? But why? And how the fuck did he know where we were? “Where is he? I want him here. Right now!”
“I’ll call him.” Gavin scrolls through the numbers in his cell, trying to find Jackson’s. “I’ll ask him to meet me here.”
“He’ll know it’s a setup,” I say and look at Kashton. No one comes to Carnage tohang out. And the Lords know that the Spade brothers have their own medical staff. So why would they need Gavin here?
Kashton pops his knuckles. “Tell him you need help, and you’re sending him a car. I’ll go pick his ass up.”
Gavin nods and walks away, giving us his back while placing his phone to his ear. I step into Bramsen. “Does my wife know?”
He shakes his head. “As far as I know, she was already sedated by the time they got the results.”
LAIKYN
I’m coughing up blood.The spit flies from my mouth as the van comes to a stop. I’m pulled from the floor where I was shoved facedown after they ripped my tooth out of my mouth. It hurts so bad; I can’t stop sobbing. Which just makes the throbbing worse.
“Let’s go, bitch.” My hair is grabbed, and I’m yanked from the van. I’m tossed over a shoulder and carried away as I fight the bastard but am unsuccessful.
I’m thrown onto a gurney, and I kick and scream as I’m pushed down a hallway. The bright lights that hang from the ceiling pass quickly as if they’re running. A hand reaches down to press on my chest, and I lift my head to bite down on it. They shouldn’t have removed the gag.
That grants me a slap to the face so hard my eyes fall shut. “I want her sedated,” he barks out as I’m pushed into a room. “Right now. Knock her the fuck out.”
I’m shoved over onto my side, my hands all of a sudden free, and I use them to push off the bed. I run for the door, but it’s quickly closed, and I’m picked up off my feet. I’m screaming at the top of my lungs while I see people just standing around watching this man throw me down.
He gets up on the bed, straddling me, and pins my hands down by my head. “Fucking sedate her! Now! And where the fuck are the restraints?”
“No. No. No.” I can’t fight them off if I’m sedated and restrained. Where is Tyson? Was he in the fire? I saw it. The club was burning when we finally drove away in the van. I can still hear the screams coming from inside. Or maybe it was me that I heard when they yanked out my tooth. Arching my back, I suck in a deep breath. “TYSON!”
Someone else grabs my wrists, letting him release them. Instead, he wraps both hands around my neck and starts to choke me. I buck my hips, thrashing underneath him from side to side, but my arms are secured down to my sides. Then I feel hands on my legs, pinning them down as well.
“You know…” He lowers his face to mine. “He might have actually done me a favor. You may be worth something pregnant.”
No. I’m not pregnant. Tyson wouldn’t let that happen. I don’t want that to happen. And this is the exact reason why. No one is coming to save me. No one even knows I’m alive.
