This wasn’t good.
I wanted to hurl, and given the dank condition of the room, that honestly would have improved the space.
Chapter 48
Logan
Panic struck me like a bolt of lightning.
“What the fuck?” I hissed, leaning over and clutching my chest.
A cold sweat broke out across my brow as my heart pounded so viciously I was convinced I was having a heart attack.
It wasn’t my own, though.
It was Clover’s.
I staggered into the conference room, where Hunter was leading one of his final meetings before heading out on parental leave. He was in the same position as me, staring at me with wide eyes.
“Clover?”
I nodded, breathing hard.
Hunter yanked out his phone and dialed her number. “It went to voicemail. Shit.”
“What’s happening to her?” I tried to sort through my responsive panic. Rage and fear choked me. I’d never felt Clover this strongly in the bond before.
Hunter dialed Parker next. “Clover—” was all he got out before Parker growled.
“Something’s happening to her. Where are they?”
“I don’t know.” Hunter helped me to my feet, not even acknowledging the people congregated. We rushed down to the car as quickly as we were able, and I slid into the driver’s seat while Hunter added Avery to our group call.
“You guys, what the fuck is happening?” Avery whined. “I almost crashed my car on my way home after picking up more treats.”
“Someone check the fucking app,” I growled.
“Oh shit, right.” Hunter pulled up the phone locations, showing dots for all of us. “Looks like she’s at that French fry place with Maggie.”
“On my way,” Parker snapped.
“I’m like a minute away from there,” Avery told us. “Heading over now.”
I revved the engine and blasted us out of the parking garage. We were only about ten minutes away, but I knew each one was going to feel like an eternity.
“They’re not here,” Avery told us a few minutes later. “I found their phones on the sidewalk.”
“Fucking hell. Avery, ask them if we can see the CCTV. Maybe it has a view of the street.”
“Oh, I don’t have to ask. We own it.”
“What the fuck do you mean, we own it? When did that happen?” I sucked in a sharp breath, forcing myself to focus.
“I may have purchased the restaurant a couple months ago when we realized Clover was obsessed with it. Anyway, they said they need their manager to access it. No one that’s on shift knows how to get in,” Avery announced.
I ground to a stop outside the place. “There’s nowhere to park.”
“Get out, I’ll park and be there in a minute,” Hunter offered.
