Taste of Wolves

Chapter 43

Shortly after he left to head back to the shop, she was in the kitchen making a pitcher of tea. The door suddenly sounded like it was kicked in making her whip around. Seeing six or eight heavily tattooed, kutte-wearing men all with guns pointed straight at her made her drop the pitcher of tea on the floor and raise her hands. One walked over to her and grinned sadistically making an uneasy feeling come over her. He used the butt of his gun to hit her in the side of the head knocking her out and making her fall into the tea-soaked floor.

When she woke up, she was tied to a chair and gagged. She looked around and it appeared she was in some run-down warehouse. Feeling strange, she looked down and realized she was only wearing her underware and had no idea how she'd gotten into such a state of undress. It made her shudder think of someone other than Rane touching her. Her pulse quickened and her fight-or-flight instincts kicked in when several men approached her. They each eyed her up and she was afraid she was about to be sexually assaulted. One male stepped forward and she figured he was the leader of the group.

"Such a pretty, young thing you are." He stated making her gulp, "How did you get involved with scum like the Sons of Anarchy?"

"I...I don't know what you're talking about." She replied trying to keep her voice even and calm.

Her answer angered him and he backhanded her splitting her lip.

"Don't lie to me, girl! I know all about you and Rane Quinn. He's moved into your house. You're going to tell me nothing's going on between you two?" He asked, "You just had sex this very afternoon."

Her eyes widened wondering how he could possibly know that. Seeing her confused face made him grin at her once more.

"Do you know why I've taken you?" The man asked making her shake her head, "Because I need to use you to get what I want from the Sons. They're not being very reasonable to my requests."

"What do you think I can do for you?" She asked.

"You're going to tell me all about their business operations and then you're going to call up Mr. Quinn and have them meet me so we can discuss what I want for your release." He stated, "That's when I'm done with you."

His statement made her eyes widen. Whatever was about to happen to her was not going to be good. She just hoped Rane could get to her in time to save her life. The man laughed at her knowing he was frightening her. She wasn't as strong as Gemma Teller-Morrow was and figured it would be easier to get what he wanted out of her. He nodded towards his guys who moved closer to her. Her whole body began to feel like it was shaking. One punched her in the stomach making all the wind go out of her lungs.

"Now. For every answer you don't give me, you're going to receive a punch. After a while, we'll move on from punches to something else. Say...burning you with a cigarette." The leader exclaimed making her eyes go wide.

"I don't know anything about what they do!" She stated earning herself another punch but to the face this time making her nose bleed.

Quinn came home after work as normal. Seeing the door kicked in, he immediately reached for his gun and slowly entered the house. Calling out for Lil Bit and receiving no reply made him worry. He cautiously walked through the house looking for her. The living room seemed like it had been untouched. There was a pitcher on the floor in the kitchen and what looked like tea spread all over. He headed upstairs still calling out for her. There was never a reply. She was in none of the bedrooms nor the bathroom upstairs. 'Maybe she's streaming in the basement.' he thought as he made his way downstairs.

When he made it downstairs and her equipment wasn't even turned on, he began to panic. She hadn't even started her afternoon stream so she'd been gone for a while. He headed back upstairs to check and see if her clothes were still there in case she had freaked about something, packed a bag, and left. Her SUV was still in the driveway but she could have called someone. Who, he didn't know. Seeing all her clothes, her phone, and her purse all where it usually was he knew something bad had gone on in his home. He left the house and raced back to the clubhouse. To get his woman back, he'd need his brothers. Seeing Quinn returning the to clubhouse made Chibs worry. He usually never returned since he had an 'ol lady at home cooking him dinner.
