I shook my head. “I guess that’s fair, but nothing happened. Despite being intimidating and biker-y, they were actually friendly. As far as bikers go, I guess. Unfortunately, I didn’t get what I needed, so it was a wasted trip.”
“Which was?” he asked.
“One of the biker’s is Felix’s biological father.”
“Jesus. Ria fucked a Howler?” he growled. “Which one?”
“Ah, Stoney?”
“Jesus fuckin’ Christ. That’s awesome,” he snarled sarcastically.
“Why? Is he bad?”
“They’re all bad, Bree. They’re fucking bikers.”
“Well, that’s a little judgmental.”
“It’s an accurate judgementcall.” He sighed. “Will you leave it to me now? For the love of god?”
I nodded, tears slipping down my cheeks. “You need to find him. You know how scared he gets at night. And now he’s all alone without me.”
He pulled me in for a hug. “We’re working on it. We’ll find him.”
“Work faster,” I begged, hugging him.
He kissed my hair and squeezed me gently. “Okay, sissy.”
I pulled away. “Are you staying for dinner?”
“Are you cooking?”
“Pizza?”
He chuckled. “I’m gonna head to the office, then Mom’s.”
I sighed. “Of course you are.”
“You can always come too. She’s your mother as well.”
“I have to stay here,” I said. “In case.”
“Okay, I’ll call you later.”
I nodded and walked my brother out, locking up behind him. Once I heard him drive away, I headed to Fox’s room and turned on the light. Everything was exactly how it was this morning. I don’t know what I expected. A clue maybe. I stripped his bed, planning on having everything clean when he got home, but mid tug on the top sheet, my doorbell rang, so I flipped off the light, making my way to the front door and yanking it open. “Did you forget some—”
“Hey, Breezy.”
Stoney stood on my porch. But not for long, pushing his way inside. Gently, but forcefully.
I faced him. “Wha...ah, what are you doing here?Howare you here?”
“Nice place,” he said, not answering my question.
“Stoney, how the hell did you find out where I lived?” I demanded.
He studied me, his eyes smiling, even though that smile didn’t meet his mouth. “You came to my house unannounced, and now I’m returning the favor. It’s not really important how I found you. Just that I did.”
“Are you going to hurt me?” I whispered, even though I knew the answer.
