Chapter Twenty-Nine Dragon
We have been searching through all these homes for what feels like days, but has been hours.
It turns out that this man has several homes around Virginia and North Carolina.
So do his kids. They all have homes in Briarfield which gives me some sort of hope that that is where they are.
We just have to figure out which home they would bring Walker and Liza to.
“So do we think that maybe he brought them to one of his son’s places? Or would we say this? I mean there is also the father’s house. We need to find a way to look over these places with surveillance and see what house has the most activity.
My guess is that whatever house has the most people surrounding it right now would be where they currently are.” Echo says.
“Alright so lets hack some fucking sattelites or some shit and get a look at properties. Do we need to send drones over them? My best guess would be Briarfield. I don’t think they would’ve kept them in the car longer than that.
You have a four year old who is probably already stressing out because of what has been going on with their mama.” Anchor says.
“I like how she thinks, do what she says. I want to get this figured out soon. I want my whole family back together before anything happens.”
My phone starts ringing in my pocket and I almost ignore it. I know that Liza doesn’t have my number memorized so it couldn’t possibly be her and everyone else is here, they would come get me if something was going on. I lift my phone and see that it is Peyton.
“Pey, can I call you back? We haven’t found anything and I really want to just focus on this.”
“Shut the fuck up Cane and listen to me.”
That got a rise out of me and I snapped my head up and looked around the room.
“Okay. What’s going on?”
“Liza and Walker are at Briarfield Memorial. You need to get here.”
A memory that changed my life forever hits me in that moment and no matter how hard I try I cannot push it away.
The prospect that was working the gate comes running in and you can only describe the look on his face is absolute terror. The look on his face makes my heart drop to my stomach.
“Um, you need to come out to the gate! Now!” He yells and turns and runs back outside.
I watch as my dad takes off running following the prospect outside. All the brothers that were in the room follow behind him and what we see when we first arrive makes me stop and almost fall to my knees.
A body.
Naked.
Beaten.
Our mother.
We all watch in horror as my dad runs up to the body and rolls her over. We notice that he removes something that is pinned to her chest and hands it to Terror.
“Baby, please wake up. Baby, no. Missy, please don’t leave me.” Dad has his head buried in her hair and you can tell he is sobbing. The words come out choppy and his shoulders are shaking.
Peyton comes and puts her arms around me like she needs someone to hold her up and I see Parker do the same with Cannon. In this moment that is who he is, he isn’t Twister, he is my twin brother Cannon. We hold our little sisters and try our best to protect them from what is happening.
You can’t even think about how you can possibly protect the people you are supposed to protect when the woman who gave you life, who has been there for everything is being held by your father lifeless.
Everything around us seems to stop and just like that my world shatters. How in the hell are we here? How is it that our mother is gone? This all has to be a fucking nightmare.
I don’t know how long we all stand here and watch as my father breaks down.
They have been together practically their whole lives.
They were each other's other half. I wanted what they had some day and I felt like I fucking found it.
But how in the hell would I keep her safe from this world?
How would I be able to handle something like this if something happened to her?
Everything in me is shouting to let her go to protect her, to push her as far away from this life as possible so that nothing touches her or those two boys of hers.
I’m snapped out of the memory of the day my mother died and brought back to the present by Sophie. She looks at me and I know that I still have the phone to my ear.
“Cane? Are you okay?”
I shake my head to try and fully get back to the present. “Um, yeah. I’m fine. Peyton is at the hospital and he says that Liza is there.”
“What kind of mafia man kidnaps someone and wants to keep them hidden, but then brings them to the hospital, basically outing them? It doesn’t make any sense and honestly in my opinion sounds pretty fucking stupid. What else did Peyton say?”
“Hold on.” I put the phone on speaker phone.
“What happened? Are you sure it’s them? Why are they there?”
“Slow down, okay? I was told by Dr. Mercer there was a VIP on the VIP floor that needed to fill out some paperwork. I went up there and when I turned around the corner I saw Walker and some Italian walking into one of the rooms. Here I sent a photo.”
I pull up the messages on my phone and the thread that is between Peyton and I when the message comes in.
Pulling up the photo you can clearly see Walker walking with that Italian prick who kidnapped them.
Walker looks devastated and you can tell from the photo he has been crying and it breaks my heart.
“Does Dr. Mercer know it’s Liza? Why are they there? Is she okay?”
“So I peaked into the room and I don’t really know what to say, it’s bad. Someone beat her. You can’t recognize her face. I confronted Dr. Mercer and he told me he couldn’t come out and say who it was because his life was at risk and his family’s,
but if I recognized anyone in that room I should let the MC know. I obviously couldn’t go in and talk to her for multiple reasons. One that asshole is in there and two she was unconscious.”
Wizard is typing away on his computer and all the sudden curses under his breath. So I go and stand next to his computer.
“What?”
“Well I just hacked the system and pulled up her chart. So she is registered as Liza Monroe at the hospital, but she is listed as private so no one at the hospital can look up her information. It’s fucking bad, Dragon.
The doctor took pictures of all her injuries and in the statement that was given to the doctor, the man says it is his fiance and that she was in an accident involving stairs. Now I’m sure that’s some bullshit right there.
But I think what you’re going to really want to be aware of is that Liza’s pregnant. They haven’t done an ultrasound, but it looks like the doc is taking blood samples to make sure that she is still pregnant. I’m assuming this is not something that the man with her knows.”
My heart is beating a mile a fucking minute.
I mean I knew there was a chance of her getting pregnant.
We weren't using protection and I knew she wasn’t taking a morning after pill no matter how many times she said she would.
But now she’s sitting in a hospital bed injured from some fucking man probably beating her.
“Peyton, is there a way for us to get up to that floor without alerting any of his men?”
“I mean we have a different entrance you could use. But you’d have to be careful.”
I look at Sophie, “I think I have an idea let’s go downstairs and talk to everyone. Peyton thank you, please keep me updated.”
“Cane, I will try my best to make sure everything is okay. I’ll call you if anything changes.”
Walking down into the common room it was still set up like a war room.
The club girls were nowhere to be found, probably told they couldn’t come back in until we gave them the okay.
Not sure who to trust around right now. Having the president’s woman shot on property, then another woman taken from a hospital with a bunch of brothers around makes people worried about the circle we have.
My brothers were all in groups and a bunch of them were trying to go over everything that has been going on.
Liza’s brothers and members of Skullz are sitting close by a table that Glitch is at running through everything with Domino, the fucking Bellandi brothers and my brothers.
Walking over to the table where Glitch is I look at everyone close by, “She’s at Briarfield Memorial. We are going there to get her and my son back. I want every fucking Bellandi that is there brought some where I can make them pay. Then when you take down your father,” I look at Lorenzo,
“I get to have access to your brothers and their fucking sons. I am going to fucking destroy the men that hurt my woman.”
“Why is she at the hospital?” Glitch asks and all her brothers are looking just as worried and confused as him.
“Someone beat her so bad the dumbass took her to the hospital.”
Lorenzo looks confused, “That makes no sense and really a bad move on his part.”
“I don’t give a fuck about how stupid your brother is, I plan to get my woman and my son back. So we are going to head there in vehicles. We won’t alert them to any bikers there. Peyton is going to get us up the entrance some of the staff use.
We are then going to get up to the VIP floor and we are going to get these assholes and bring them to a secure location where I intend to make them pay for thinking they could touch something that wasn’t theirs.”
Vice, one of Liza’s brothers gets a look on his face and asks, “What happens if they start moving her or even worse, shooting? We don’t know the circumstances and we are going in fucking blind. We don’t know how many men are with this asshole on the floor. I want them back as much as you do,
that’s my sister and my nephew. We need to do some recon to make sure they stay safe as well as the rest of us. I feel like it is fishy that he is just at a hospital and we find out about it with no problems. Is Peyton there right now?”
“Wait, hold up. You’re worried about this asshole going crazy and you want to send my woman into the lions den to see if its fucking safe. No fucking way.” Whip stands up and leans over the table practically foaming at the mouth.
