When I get in the common room, paramedics are entering the clubhouse and making their way over to Dr.Sanchez.He gives them the information they need as they load Leah on the stretcher and fasten her in.
“Doc, keep her safe.This woman is important to someone everyone in this club cares about.I’ll have someone there to keep us updated,” I tell him as they start to move Leah from the room and out to the waiting ambulance.
“I’ll only talk to them,” he promises before disappearing out the door of the clubhouse.
“Tristan and Zach, you’re with us when we leave to get Wren.She’ll want you there with us.Wyatt, go to the hospital and wait for any updates on Leah.Call me the second you hear anythin’ from Dr.Sanchez.If you can’t get me, call Fury.Only talk to either one of us,” I order as the Prospects all nod in response before I turn and head back into church.
“There’s a few windows, the door on the side of the buildin’, the front door, and a door in the back of the buildin’.That’s all the access points we have.I don’t know if any of them are locked or if we’ll be able to break them down.We don’t have that information listed on the blueprints,” Fury is saying when I walk back in and take my seat once again while setting my phone on the table in front of me.
“The door on the side of the buildin’ is steel.There’s no breakin’ that one down.The one in the back I believe is just a regular door they typically keep locked and use it as more of an emergency door.The employees don’t use that one to come and go from work.They park in back and walk around to the front.The only reason I know this is because we installed the original security system.They haven’t changed anythin’ in that place since it opened.I’m surprised it’s still standin’.The manager is a jackass who doesn’t spend money on the bar at all unless it’s buyin’ more cheap ass alcohol,” Lock informs us as he points to the blueprints while talking.“The front door is easy to get in regardless of if it’s locked or not.I told them when I installed the security system and they did nothin’ about it.”
Before anyone else can say a word, my phone rings again.This time, it’s a different name on the screen.A man by the name of Calbert.We work with him for some of our runs.I don’t know why he’d be calling me right now though.
“Calbert, what’s goin’ on?”I answer the phone on speaker as everyone shuts up and looks toward me.
“Well, I’ve been workin’ with my crew undercover to get a hold of a woman named Karmen Monroe.She owes me a lot of money and doesn’t have a way to pay it back.The bitch is a slut and a gold digger.The worst kind of woman I’ve ever met.She’s pissed I didn’t accept her advances and turned her down multiple times over the years.Got a call from her a week ago tellin’ me she had a woman she wanted to sell me as my undercover name of Charles Reed.She has no clue I’m the one she’s sellin’ this girl to.Anyway, I’ve been hearin’ some shit about your club lookin’ for a girl.I’m pretty sure it’s the same one I’m currently on my way to pick up from Karmen,” Calbert tells me as everyone in the room stands up and Fury is about to explode as I look at him next to me.
“Are you fuckin’ kiddin’ me?”I bark out, my voice barely above a growl.
“Not at all.I wouldn’t call you with some bullshit if it weren’t true.What’s the girl’s name you’re lookin’ for?”he asks me.
“Wren Thompson.You got a picture of her?”I return, already pulling one up on my phone to send him if he doesn’t.
“Yeah.Sendin’ it to ya now,” he tells me as I look down and see a message come through.I open it immediately and my girl is on the screen of my phone.Her hands are behind her back and I can see her wearing the same dress she was wearing here at the clubhouse.Blood covers half of her face, her neck, and down under the material of her dress.Rage fills me at the damage I’m looking at on my phone screen.
“That’s who we’re lookin’ for.She’s mine, Calbert,” I state, shocked to realize I mean the words I’ve just said.
“Here’s what needs to happen.Let me pick her up as planned so I can get my hands on that bitch Karmen.I’ll bring her directly to your clubhouse.Have medical staff on standby because we don’t know how injured she is.Do I need to know anythin’ when I pick her up?”Calbert asks as I resist the urge to fight against what he’s saying.I need to be there to get her myself.“I know you wanna be there, Judge.I’ve known you a long time and understand how you operate.I’ll keep her safe and call you the second I have her out of the bar.”
“I’m trustin’ you, Calbert.If anythin’ more happens to her, I’m comin’ for your ass and I won’t let you off easy,” I promise him as Fury stands next to me already on his phone getting Dr.Sanchez here.Not the one who just left with Leah, but his daughter who’s an obstetrician.“She’s pregnant with my babies, Calbert.She just found out today she’s havin’ twins.If you see any signs of bleedin’ or she says her stomach hurts, you take her directly to the hospital and nowhere else.Got me?”
“I can just take her to the hospital if you’d feel better about that.You guys can head there now and meet us,” he tells me as I look around the table and see several of the men nodding.
“Do that.We’ll leave now.How close are you?”I question him as we all leave church and head for the front door.
“I’m at the bar now.Just pulled in.Give me no more than ten minutes to get this shit taken care of and I’ll call you back.I’ve got your girl, Judge.I’m not gonna fuck you over,” he says before hanging up the phone.
Death and Talon are on either side of me and I can’t help but notice the smirks on their faces.
“She’s yours, huh?”Death questions me as I straddle my bike and tie my bandana on.
“Shut up.Let’s fuckin’ ride,” I call out as my brothers move to their bikes and get on.
We all leave the clubhouse in a group with my brothers at the back of the pack.I don’t pay attention to the road as we ride through town toward the hospital.This way we can meet Calbert and Wren when they get there and get an update in person about Leah.I know the second Wren finds out Leah’s in the hospital, she’ll want to know what’s going on with her and I plan on being able to tell her something.Fury rides next to me as we speed and I wait on the call from Calbert.It comes exactly ten minutes later as he promised.He informs me Wren is unconscious and he doesn’t know what injuries she has but her wrists are fucked up and still bleeding in places.The wound on her head is no longer bleeding, but he worries she might have a concussion.Without her being able to talk, he doesn’t know about anything more so he’s been extremely careful with her.I thank him and let him know we’re about to pull into the hospital and will be waiting for him.While I’m happy we got Wren back, I’m pissed as fuck she was taken and sold off to begin with.I hope Calbert teaches this Karmen bitch a lesson because if he doesn’t, I will.I’ll hire someone to come deal with her and make it as unpleasant as possible.
