Chapter Twenty-three

“Where’s Carlos?” J.D. asked, fury making his throat tight.

“Oh, that guy’s not doing good. He lied to me. The only thing I hate worse than liars are cowards. Guys who create a mess and don’t have the balls to fix it.”

“Where is Carlos?” he seethed. “What did you do?”

“Not as much as I’m gonna do to you. And don’t think I won’t find you, Ghost. Your white ass is mine.”

J.D. hung up. Fury made his stomach knot. A hope, one that seemed farfetched, but still a hope burned in his chest. Jax was lying, and he’d just somehow gotten Carlos’ phone. He went to his contacts and found Carlos’ brother’s home phone. It rang once.

Twice.

“Answer, damn it!” he muttered.

“Hello?” the soft, feminine Hispanic voice sounded like Christina, Carlos’ sister-in-law.

“Hey, this is J.D. Have you seen or heard from Carlos?” He tried to keep the panic from sounding in his voice.

“You don’t know?” She sniffled as if crying.

“Know what?” His chest gripped. When she didn’t answer, he said, “What happened? Tell me!”

“The gang—his brothers—happened. He calls them that even though he only has one real brother. They turned on him, beat him. Would have killed him if two men hadn’t walked up. He’s in bad shape. Could still die. They’re operating on him now. Moses is there at the hospital. Waiting. Why do you two do this? Why do you join gangs and bring trouble to Moses? Stay away. I don’t want your trouble anymore.”

J.D. felt a raw pain burn in his chest. “What’s Moses’ cell number?”

She didn’t answer. She’d hung up.

“No!’ J.D. seethed. Then he remembered Carlos had called him a few weeks back on his brother’s cell. He started going through his call list until he found it.
