“They came to get her to take her to the ceremony.”
“What ceremony?”I find myself asking.
“Some big guy was brought in.It’s why everyone was on high alert.We heard a plane coming in close.They want Sutton to marry this man to create some type of union for Shepherd Walter.”
What.The.Fuck.
A cold sweat breaks out across my body, and I find myself blinking in quick succession to focus on the words that just came out of this kid’s mouth.
“How do you know this?”Reaper asks.
“I heard my parents talking about it when I left Sutton to get help,” James says.“They made me leave her so that they could get her ready because he’d arrived.”
Stone breaks away from the group and taps his earpiece.
“Check the back lot…do you see anything?Plane?”he’s silent for a few moments.“Still there… Where is the tent?”Stone comes over to the map and shoulders James and everyone else out of the way.He starts dragging his finger from the top of the property down a few notches.“I think it could be… Keep me updated if the drone catches anything else… How many do you think?”
Raegan is back at the clubhouse working behind the scenes, gathering info with the drone she and Hawk bought off the black market.The thing is almost undetectable and costs an arm and a leg but is totally worth it now.
We wait and when he taps the earpiece again, my blood is on fire through my veins.We need to act now.
“Raegan said the jet is still located at the back of the property.There’s a tent not far from the trees here,” he points and taps his finger in the top east part of the expansive land.“Lots of armed men roaming around.”
“Do you know the name of the man they’re making her marry?”Turner asks.
James eyes tilt up thinking.
“Simon… no, Sanchez.They said Mr.Sanchez was there and ready,” he reveals, and I look over to Hawk.
We’ve been trying to figure out who The Fellowship has been working with off the grid for a while now.
Hawk starts typing into his tablet.“How did we miss this?”he mumbles to himself, but I heard it.
“What is it?”Stone asks.
“There is only one major player in Colombia right now that it could be.Juan José Sanchez is sixty-two years old and is the head of the Herrera-Sanchez Cartel.Juan José had only one child, Rosa Sanchez, she married Carlos Herrera, the son of the Herrera family to merge an alliance and strengthen their foothold in Colombia.Rosa was murdered at the hands of the Herrera family making Juan José wipe the entire family out.Killed everyone who held a drop of Herrera blood, except for his grandson.Rosa and Carlos had a son before she was killed.Juan José raised him to take over the cartel when the patriarch dies.”
“So they are marrying Sutton to the son?”Reaper asks, and I ball my hands into a fist.
Don’t care what they do, she’ll only ever be married to me once I slaughter them all.
Hawk begins to shake his head as all the color leaves his face as his eyes continue to roam over the words on the screen.
“Then who?”I growl.
“The grandson was killed not long ago,” Hawk says looking up at Stone with wide eyes.“Hector Sanchez is Juan José Sanchez’s grandson.”
Hector?
“As in the president of the Vipers?That fucking Hector?”Reaper says what we’re all thinking.
We killed the bastard months ago and now his grandfather, the fucking head of a South American drug cartel, is here trying to reclaim a foothold back in the states?
“So who is she being forced to marry if his only kin died months ago?”Crusher asks coming up to the vehicle with Melissa as the ambulance parks on the side of the road.
A lightbulb goes off, “That motherfucking silver-sneaker old ass.”
“Huh?”
