I picked up his pillow and squeezed it tightly to my chest. “What happened?”
“I don’t know the details, but the short of it is he was taken from the Martins’ house. Coal stopped by his parents’ house and found his mother on the floor trying to crawl to the phone. He called as soon as she told him what happened. That woman wouldn’t even let him help her off the floor until he called here.”
“Is she okay? Does she know who took him?” I asked.
“She’s at the hospital, pretty banged up, but she should be okay. She’s beside herself about James though. She didn’t know who took him, but she said it was a woman and gave us a description.” He paused and looked down. I already knew what he was going to say.
“It matches the description of the woman who hit me, right?” I guessed.
“Yeah, darlin’, it does.”
I pushed to my feet. “Fuck this. I’m not sitting around this clubhouse crying while some crazy bitch has my baby. Ember, give me your keys.”
“Wait just a second,” Phoenix said, now on his feet, too. “I can’t let you leave, for a number of reasons, but before you flip your shit, listen to me. I really hoped you would never have to know about this, but that Blackwings pacifier clip that Duke brought home for James, it has a GPS locator in it. We put one on his infant carrier, too. Duke insisted on it after you guys were stuck in the tunnel for hours. We know where he is and the boys have gone to get him.”
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “You put a GPS locator in my baby’s pacifier clip and on his car seat?”
“Yeah, we did and I ain’t going to apologize for it,” Phoenix firmly stated.
“I don’t want you to. Thank you so much!” I launched myself at the big man and hugged him tightly. “Thank you, thank you, thank you.” Any other time, I would have likely been pissed, but at that moment, I was just grateful they knew where my son was.
Phoenix actually blushed a little. “Gotta say, Reesie, definitely not the reaction I was expecting out of you, but I’ll take it.”
“Can you find out if they’ve gotten to him yet or where they are? Please,” I begged.
“Of course. Come with me.” I followed him down the hall and into Byte’s room. “You got an update, brother?”
“You’re not going to believe th...oh hey, Reese, didn’t see you there,” Byte stumbled over his words when he saw me.
“You can speak freely in front of her right now. I’m not going to believe what?”
“It looks like she’s headed to the Manglers clubhouse with the baby,” Byte told us.
I gasped. No, no, no. They would not get their hands on another member of my family.
“Fuck!” Phoenix roared. In the next second, he had his phone to his ear. “Copper, got an emergency and I need your help.”
CHAPTER TWENTY
Duke
Here I was hauling ass on my bike, a-fucking-gain, with Carbon riding right beside me. He might be the club’s enforcer, but when we caught this bitch, she was mine. Woman or not, she was going to pay and pay dearly for taking my son.
My phone rang, scaring the shit out of me. I still wasn’t used to my new helmet. It connected to my phone via Bluetooth so I could answer calls while on the road. Phoenix insisted we all upgrade to them a few months ago. I wasn’t crazy about it at first, but now I was damn glad we’d made the change.
“Answer.”
Phoenix’s voice filled my ears. “Looks like they’re heading toward the Manglers clubhouse. Could be a coincidence, but I’m not taking that chance. Copper and his crew are going to spread out and block all possible routes leading to the clubhouse. There’s not many, so it shouldn’t be hard to get her if that’s where she’s going.”
“Are you fucking serious?” I growled.
“Yep. Keep it together, man. You can fly off the handle after you get your boy back. I haven’t told Carbon and I’m not going to until you guys are back here. He’ll flip and that can’t happen right now.”
“Got it. How far ahead of us are they?”
“You’re closing the distance, but I think Copper and his boys will get to them first. Just keep pace with Carbon. Byte has a line open with him telling him where to go.”
I was afraid to ask, but I had to know. “How’s Reese? Did you tell her?”
