“The Todd’s have her,” Butch says, shoving his phone back in his pocket. “Just got a call from Shotgun. Says he ran into Tommy down at The Pint earlier tonight. Was bitching ’bout the new woman his Mama hooked him up with. Said she was a mouthy little thing, but he was gonna go home and put her in her place.”
My gut clenches. “How do you know it’s Astor?”
Butch raises a brow. “You ever known any woman to go willingly with Tommy Todd?” I don’t answer. He’s right about that, and he knows it. Tommy is a total dick, and the strangest motherfucker I’ve ever come across. “Shotgun said Tommy was hitting the bottle pretty hard, and told a couple of guys her name. Not many women named Astor around here I don’t think.”
Rage like I’ve never felt before threatens to consume me. Without another word, I head for the door. My promise to her mother plays over and over again in my mind as I stalk toward my ride. I’ll find her, Mrs. Bloom. I’m gonna bring her home.
“Wait,” Butch calls out, running up behind me. “We need to do this right. Running in there on your own is gonna get you killed. The girl too.” That makes me stop. I turn and glare at Butch, my anger barely in check. I just want to get to Astor and get her out of there. “Let’s rally the boys. We’ll go in heavy, get the girl, deal with the Todd’s, and get out without anyone even fucking knowing we were there.”
He’s right…again. The Todd’s might be scum, but they’re protected by one of the biggest crime families in the country. Agnes Todd’s brother, Vincent DeCarlo, is the head of that family, and if he knew we’d messed with his sister and his nephew, he’d declare war on the Lucifer’s Bastards, and it wouldn’t end well. But right now, I don’t care a whole lot. I need to get to Astor before that bastard lays a hand on her, if he hasn’t already.
The thought of his hands on Astor’s creamy smooth skin makes my vision fade to black along the edges as I battle back my rage. “You best hurry,” I tell Butch through gritted teeth. “I leave in five, with or without the Bastards.”
