“Do it, Olivia. In that order.”
That’s when I noticed my doorframe was shattered. It took me a minute to scroll to Alamo’s number, as my hands were shaking so bad.
“Hey, Doc.”
“It’s Liv, actually,” I said.
“What’s wrong?”
“I think someone broke into my condo,” I whispered. “Doc’s going in there with a gun.”
“Okay, sweetheart, I’m coming with backup. Do everything he tells you to do, okay?”
“Okay,” I said, my voice shaking.
He hung up and I dialed 9-1-1.
“9-1-1, what’s your emergency?”
“Someone broke into my condo,” I whispered, then gave her my address. “My husband is checking to see if anyone is still inside.”
“I’d rather he didn’t. Would you ask him to come out?” she requested. “It could be a dangerous situation.”
Yeah, for whoever’s in there, I thought to myself.
“Ah, I’ll see what I can do.”
“Okay, ma’am, we’ve got units on the way. It would be better for you and your husband to get somewhere safe, if you can.”
“Okay.”
I hung up just as Doc walked out with one of my duffel bags. “I packed you a few things. You’re staying at the barn until we figure out what’s going on.”
“I think I should make sure you didn’t miss anything.”
“Quick, baby,” he warned. “Cops’ll be here any second, and then your place becomes a crime scene.”
“How long am I staying at the barn?” I asked, noting the very full bag.
“As long as it takes to find the asshole who did this.”
Doc had done a pretty thorough job of packing, but he missed a couple of essentials in the way of moisturizers, so I grabbed those quickly, and Doc took everything down to my car.
“I want you to go with Rabbit,” he said, as Alamo and Rabbit walked down the hall. “Alamo and I’ll take care of things here.”
“Are you sure?” I asked.
Doc nodded, kissing me quickly, then turning to Rabbit. “Follow her. Don’t stop for anyone.”
“You got it,” Rabbit said, and we headed down to the garage.
Rabbit followed me back to the barn and carried my bag up to Doc’s room. I’d left my laptop in the club office, and I was now exceedingly thankful I had. If it had been in my condo, all of my files could have been compromised by whoever broke in.
Rabbit left me to go take care of whatever Alamo needed him to take care of, and I was left to roam the halls of the giant barn alone. Well, alone with a few dozen bikers who weren’t my man. I tried to get some work done, but even the tranquility of Lyric’s old office couldn’t keep me calm, so I headed out to the great room to see if I could find some distraction.
“Hey, Liv,” Ozzy called, standing at the pool table with Milky, beer in hand. Otter was close by, watching as Mouse took his shot.
“Hey, Oz. How are you guys?”
