“First, need you and the girls to get rooms ready, we’re gonna be having company in about an hour and a half. Boys from the Arizona charter are coming,” he informs me. How the hell can they get here in such a short time when they’re in Arizona. “Second thing and I hate to ask this but I need you to tell us any of the names you might remember who would be associated with your father.”
I suck in a breath at the confirmation he gave me that it was him who took Wren. “I was never allowed to know any of their names. Except one and I didn’t know his name or even meet him until right before I ran away.”
“What was it?” he asks.
“Nixon. I don’t know his last name,” I murmur, casting my gaze to my lap. I feel useless and unable to help him any further.
“It’s okay, Tiny, don’t need a last name. I found him easily,” Fuse says from down the table. Lifting my eyes, I lock gazes with his compassionate one. “I just needed some kind of name to go with.”
Nodding I drop my gaze back to my lap and pull my lip in between my teeth. “My dad had several connections and worked with many different types. His main associates were with a cult and another being white supremacists.”
The air in the room fills with tension as I mention this. They must not have learned that part. I mean how could they, when my father knew to cover his tracks well with them. The leader of that group was scary. I might not know his name, but I do remember what he looked like. He’d tried getting my father to sell me to him though I’d already been sold to Nixon.
“Thanks, Bitsy,” Chains murmurs, giving my hip a squeeze. I give him a jerky nod and look to him.
“Is that all you need?” I ask.
“Yeah, baby, for now it’s all we need. If there’s anything else I’ll come find you. Go ahead and go get shit ready,” he states, his face still hardened. It’s also the same expression he’d given me over a week ago when I’d told him I was pregnant. Only this time, I’m not scared of him. This is the man others fear or respect for who he is and he has his reasons for locking his emotions down.
Being President to the Inferno’s Clutch MC isn’t always sunshine and rainbows.
Leaning into my man, I give him a quick kiss to the cheek, I slide off his lap without a word and leave the room. In the hallway, I start making plans on what needs to be done before the Arizona boys get here as I head for the main room.
“Everything okay?” Nora asks as I get closer.
“Yeah, we need to get rooms ready, and get a list together of anything me might be low on food wise. We have company coming and it’s about to be slammed in here,” I say doing as Chains has done. Lock my shit down tight. At least for now. When I’m by myself, I can then break down and wallow in misery for what I’ve brought to the club. I’m sure Tyres blames me and I can’t hold it against him.
“Who’s coming?” Brielle asks.
“Arizona charter,” I inform them.
“I’ll do the grocery list and organize what meals we need to be prepared for. If we’re gonna have company that means we need to get enough stuff for a barbeque as well,” Angelina says having joined the rest of us.
“I’ll deal with the strays,” Nora mutters. “At least with the Arizona boys here, some of those bitches will lay off my man. Swear when I found out Sera was gone; I did a happy dance. The bitch couldn’t stop trying to hop on Breaker’s dick. Even tried pushing me out of the way a few times, thinking she had a shot with him. Breaker wouldn’t go within a hundred yards of Sera if he weren’t with me let alone having me in his bed.”
I swallow at the mention of Sera. I knew the women didn’t know about the reasons for her being kicked to the curb, I still felt like I was lying to them by not telling them what was going on. These are my friends, my family and I didn’t want to put any of this on them.
Sure, Brielle knows about what happened between me and Chains only because she was with Ryder when Chains called and asked if I’d picked up the twins. The rest of it though, nope she doesn’t know a thing.
“I’ll help Tiny get the rooms ready,” Brielle says.
“What can I do?” Faith asks, she’d just had her and Axel’s second child not too long ago.
“Can you watch over all the kids?” I suggest.
“Yeah, I can do that,” she says, nodding. I know she wants to help with other things as well but her watching the kids is a major help for now. “Oh, quick question before we start, have any of you seen or heard from Lyrica in the last day? She didn’t answer the phone when I called her last night.”
My body goes still at this news and my heart races, could it be a coincidence? I don’t know but Chains needs to know. I’ll be right back,” I mutter, turning on my heels and all but run back to the room I’d just come from. I knock on the door and immediately it’s opened by Lynch.
“Everything okay, Bitsy? We’re in the middle of something.” I don’t miss the frustrated expression on his face but I ignore it because he knows I wouldn’t interrupt otherwise.
“Lyrica’s missing,” I blurt out.
Chapter Fifteen
Chains
“Lyrica’s missing,” Tiny informs all of us.
“The fuck?” Fuse snaps, he gazes up from the laptop in front of him that he’s been furiously typing away on trying to find all the information he could get his hands on. Anger radiates
