After getting hung up on by whichever of the biker trash that was holding Dax, I chucked my phone against the wall. It shattered, flying into a million pieces as I let out a roar of anger. I paced back and forth in my office, which was filled with all the equipment I used to monitor the Hidden Empire, knowing it wouldn’t do me any damn good to get Dax back. I knew where she was and who was holding her, but I couldn’t find a way to get her out without starting an all-out war with one of the biggest biker gangs on the West Coast.

I ran over our brief conversation again, trying to see if she had left me any more clues to get her out. Together we had made backup plans for almost any scenario, but the Phantom Saints had played on my cockiness. Never once had I thought I would let her get taken—it was my job to keep her safe and watch her back.

They put a fucking shock collar on her!

The sound of my second cell went off, letting me know it was something to do with Empire business. Only Dax had the number to the cell I destroyed.

“What,” I snapped. There was a pause on the line before they spoke.

“Wes, we can’t get ahold of Dax, and we got a big problem.” It was Brian, one of Dax’s men.

“Are you going to tell me what the problem is, or do I have to guess?” I asked, unable to hold back my irritation.

Out of the two of us, Dax was the volatile one. I kept my cool for the both of us, but having her taken from me was proving to be my undoing.

“Right. Sorry, Wes. It seems that the De León cartel is claiming that Dax killed their son while he was in L.A. on vacation. They’re saying that if we don’t hand her over, they will make moves against us.”

“How the fuck am I just hearing about this now?!” I yelled into the phone. “This is not the sort of thing that we should be blindsided with.”

“I just found out myself. Dax was my first call, but her phone went right to voicemail, so I called you. They tortured Jeff and sent his body back with their demands,” Brian blurted, the panic clear in his voice.

This information froze me. If they were able to get Jeff, Dax’s other right-hand man, then there was already a mole in our organization. The timing of Dax being taken and this going down couldn’t be coincidental—it was too perfect. The biggest threat anyone faced getting to Tricks was that pink-haired, hell on wheels enforcer.

“Thank you for giving me this information. Where is Jeff’s body now?” I asked, slipping into my computer chair.

“He was dumped out back of the tattoo shop, but when I got a call about it, I took him to the main warehouse by the pier. Should I call Brenda and let her know what happened?” Brian asked.
