“Where the fuck is she?” I raged, my ears ringing as I tried looking around.
Getting up from the explosion and examining all the brothers, I didn’t see that anyone was hurt.
“We’ll find her,” my father assured as I grabbed his hand and pulled him to his feet. “Everyone good?” he called out.
“Yeah.” Other grunts were heard, but I was making my way to my SUV. I had nothing. No clue. No idea. I wanted to get to the only thing I knew, my computers. They had to have the answers.
I’d been trained by the best in the world, but this, my girl being in danger, was tearing me up, and pushing that down was difficult. It was eating me to my core.
I needed to do something. What that something was, I didn’t know.
“Get over here,” Deke yelled, and I full out ran to the back of my SUV. “Listen.” He handed me a set of headphones, and I put them on.
Ensley’s voice was faint, but the males voice was loud and clear.
“Daniel.” I heard so softly. Pulling my laptop to me, I typed in where Ensley used to live and the name Daniel to see if anything would pop up.
“She’s saying the name Daniel,” I relayed to the brothers as I kept on searching. “Where’s Ryker?”
The problem with these groups was they didn’t have much of a digital footprint.
“He got knocked by the blast, I’ll get him.” Cooper said, moving to find Ryker. He’d know. He had to know.
“Where’s it coming from?” I asked Deke as I scoured.
“Ensley’s phone.”
“Fuck.” Anticipation hit hard. “GPS that fucker.”
“Already on it,” Buzz replied, typing on another laptop.
We had to find her. We had to get her back. Failing was not an option.
My cell vibrated in my pocket. I reached in, looked at the display and it read ‘Dryerson calling’.
I accepted the call. “Man, I can’t…”
“I know where they are,” he said in a hushed tone. “Get to the church where Ensley and Katie grew up, now. I’m not waitin’. I’ve heard screamin’, so hurry your asses here for backup.”
“On it. Out.”
“Ryker!” I called as he rushed over to me. “Do you know the church Ensley went to?”
“Motherfuckers took her there? They were supposed to be moved out of that fuckin’ place. Yeah. I know where that is. Let’s fuckin’ go.” Ryker whistled loudly as we all got into vehicles.
“Can you ride in the back and listen?” I asked Deke who lifted his chin. Handing him the headphones, I darted to the driver’s seat and took off to get to my woman.
Ryker sat in the passenger seat, and every so often he would yell, “Fuck!” He was pissed, and I couldn’t blame him. I was livid.
“Talk to me, Ryker,” I urged, taking a turn.
“Last time I went to go find one of my sisters, they were all gone except my mother, who told me they were all moving. She wouldn’t tell me where, which I expected. Fuckers didn’t move at all. Or they did but probably closer to the damn compound.” His breaths were coming in strained pants.
“Don’t focus on that shit. Makes no damn difference. We need to find Ensley and Katie and get them home safe. That’s the mission. Come hell or fuckin’ high water we’re gettin’ them out of there.”
“I'll take out any and all of those fuckers,” Ryker clipped.
I couldn’t agree more. Fuckers had to die.
