Big Dick looked at Raven.“I’ve got this,” he said.
“You’ve got this?Carlos has been missing, and it has nearly been a couple of weeks!”Raven looked between them.“You haven’t been able to hunt for them, and we know they’ve got him.”
He grabbed her arms and forced her to look at him.“But I know Carlos.I can find him.”He turned to look at Smokey.“Unless you’ve got a problem with that?”
“No problem at all.You bring him back.”
Big Dick let Raven go, and he was on his way out of the club with Brick and Kinky following behind him.He didn’t say anything to them.It wasn’t the first time they had followed him, and it was not going to be the last.This was his backup in case he needed it.
Going to his bike, he made his way to Carlos and Raven’s place first.This was where he was going to pick up the trail.Carlos would drive himself.It was the way Carlos worked.Once there, he looked in the direction he knew the man would take, and that was what he followed.No one stopped him, or questioned him.
With each lead on the hunt for Cadeon and the Twisted Bastards MC, he’d hit dead ends.Nothing had come from his hunts, and it was like he was searching for a ghost, people that didn’t exist, yet he knew they did.
Now, as he looked for Carlos, he felt that usual feeling.This was not a dead end.This was real.In his gut, he had a bad feeling as they drove down the long stretch of road.They must have ridden for a good hour and a half before he came to a stop.Something didn’t sit right with him.
The Twisted Bastards MC ran Harlow off the road.If the alert had gone out, would Carlos have reached for his cell phone?Big Dick closed his eyes, thinking about Carlos, and yes, he was leaving his wife and babies to deal with mafia business, while there was an ongoing problem with the Hell’s Bastards MC.He’d looked at his cell phone, and that was when he’d see the damn video.
Climbing off his bike, Brick and Kinky did the same, and Big Dick moved down the embankment.That was when he saw it.Carlos’s car, the windshield smashed, and there was a huge dent in the side of the car.He climbed down, and they were losing light fast, but he looked inside the car and saw blood.
“That’s not fucking good,” Brick said.
“It might not be his,” Big Dick said.
He looked around.“They took him.”And as he looked around the car, he realized Carlos had his cell phone.
Pulling out his own cell phone, he put a call through to Erick.His brother answered on the fourth ring.
“You know, if you keep calling me, I’m going to start wishing I hadn’t said anything to Mom and Dad.”
“Shut the fuck up.If I give you a cell phone number, will you be able to track it without anyone finding out?”
Erick was quiet.
“Don’t be coy with me, and give me the good-boy routine.We both know you’re shit hot with computers.Can you do this or not?Someone’s life is in the balance,” Big Dick said.
“Yes, I can do it.I’m texting you the details.I need this now.”He hung up the phone and sent Erick the number to Carlos’s phone.
“How can he do that?”Brick asked.
Big Dick looked toward the other two.“It is based off a satellite or tower, or something like that.He can locate where the latest contact was.”
Erick called him back less than ten minutes later.“This is freaky, he’s about a ten-minute walk from where you are right now.”
“You fucking pinged me?”Big Dick asked.
“I figured you wanted his location, like, right about now.”
He didn’t say anything, and instead asked for the location on his cell phone, which Erick was able to do.Checking the signal, he saw where he had to go and started to follow it.
“Anyone else think we could be walking to our death right now?”Kinky asked.
Big Dick didn’t give a shit.He had his gun and his hands.There was no way he was going to let the club down.He would kill anyone he got his hands on.
They were walking for over ten minutes, but he figured his brother assumed he would go via bike, but he was not going to trek his bike through a fucking woodland.And just as he got to the edge of the trees, he saw a house that was crumbling.Part of the roof was missing.It was like a piece of history left in time.
“Holy shit,” Kinky said.
He put his cell phone away, making sure it was on silent, as he pulled out his gun, taking the safety off, then staring across at the house.It was still.The sun was setting, providing them the last rays of sunlight.
