Fucker was right.
Chapter 49
Keola
Youdidn’thavetotell me twice to get on my bike. The looks of D.R and Jackson’s face was enough for me to leave Greer in charge of Finn.
All I know is I’m just going to ride. Ride until I find her.
“What the hell is happening?” I yelled at Jackson.
Jackson tries to catch his breath, his chest heaving to find it, “ Tessa said that the security system isn't working. and Topaz isn't answering her phone. We got to go now.”
D.R looks at us, his mouth tense from telling us the next set of news. “Kid’s missing.”
“What the fuck do you mean missing?
“As in not on the property, as in gone, ran away, again,” D.R punctuates.
He jumped ship.
Ah shit, kid.
“Fuck, I know where he’s at. He found an escape.” I groaned.
“Hell, he’s with Lottie.” Jackson finished my thought.
Now, I have to go to them both and pray to God that the worst hasn’t happened.
I had left her in capable hands, hoping that it would be a quick run to the agency. but I should have known better. I should have seen all the sngles and known that she wasn't going to be safe. Joaquin closes his laptop and shoves it into his bag before hiking it onto his back looking at me and Jackson, “ guess this is the right time to also say that there is another player on the board.”
D.R shakes his head, “Explain.”
We all run out the front door to mount our bikes as I search for my weather wear. The gravel under my boots swishes as I plaster on my weather wear, loading every weapon I could. I’m going to drag her ass back and chain her to her bed.
“In short, someone from the school system has been giving them names,” Joaquin says, starting up his bike.
The image of his name runs across my eyes. I should have known this was coming. I should have known a lot of things.
“Seems like the superintendent's pockets are very deep.” I growl out.
There's no plans. There's no time, with no eyes on the ground or whenever I own in charge I don't think we are all wanting to take the chance on what's about to happen. I pushed aside the fear that varies in my chest and the mighty strength of vengeance and bloodthirst come alive. I know I contradict myself with leaving Greer here with Finn, but I could control it.
Rawlings said that he would stay back with Coda, as he was going to round up a few more members as half the board continued alongside me. Memphis is in the back watching out for things that go bump in the night.
But honestly it should be them that should be afraid of us.
The sun threatens to light up the morning sky. The lack of sleep is heavy on my eyes but the adrenaline keeps me awake. We ride as if there is nothing to stop us. The rumble of our bikes calling out to warn others to stay out of the path. Dodging through early traffic and cars we ignore the beeping of horns. We push faster and faster to the brink of speed limits, nothing was going to stop us.
As the street lamp still lights up the neighborhood we get closer to the agency and all I want to do is just jump off this damn bike and just run, run until my legs get weary and even then I'd push further.
The parking lot still seemed empty with just the residence cars but once stood out at the light in it was still on. We rush towards the truck, getting the true answer as to why there was no answer. My heart stopped, it stopped beating because it wasn't Charlotte that was unconscious in the truck.
Blue hair spilling over her face.
D.R pushes past me, putting fingers to her neck, he waits a second, “She’s fine. Well, obviously not fine. She's just unconscious and judging by the redness that surrounding her temple somebody hit her possibly with the butt of a gun.”
Topaz still lightly breathes, D.R continues to get her awake, tapping her cheek lightly. She stirs. I can only imagine Johnny and what he's thinking right now.
