"I'm on my way"
I'm unloading boxes when I see my phone light up in the car. I see flashes of texts fly across my screen. What in the fuck is going on. I grab my phone and unlock it.
What I read makes my whole body go still. Nova. Nova has been taken. I scream out in anger and ram my fist into my truck. Without letting anyone know I'm leaving I jump in my truck and drive.
Going over the speed limit I rush back to the bakery. I'm about 45 minutes away. I'll have to make it faster than that. Nova needs me. What the fuck happened when I was gone.
My car speaker rings and I hit the answer on the steering wheel. "What the fuck is going on. Tell me now!" I scream at whoever called me.
"There was a package left at Nova's shop and it was a bomb. Axel left it outside and called Beau for back up but before they could walk away it went off." A bomb. A bomb went off at Nova's shop with her inside it.
"Where's Nova? Where is Axel?" I left her with him this morning. Let me talk to her." Silence fills the line. "Tell me". I scream.
"Axel doesn't look good brother." Fuck. "And Nova." I clench my teeth so hard I can hear them crack. "Nova's gone. Axel hasn't woke up yet so we don't know what happened. The brothers are trying to look at the cameras now to see what they can find.
I yell into the air. Yell for leaving her behind and for one of my prospects getting hurt under my care. "Find her. I want you to find her now. Do you guys know who even took her?"
"No, but the guys just got into the cameras. Hold on." Minutes fly but which feels like hours. When finally I hear someone pick up the phone.
"Hey, it's Tiny. Cash is looking at the footage. Prez I need you to pull over for this." No fucking way am I stopping.
"Fuck you. Now tell me who took her." I scream. I know yelling at my men wont fix anything but I cant hold back my anger.
"It was the Serpents. You can see Tank and Ghost and someone else pull up with a white van behind the building just minutes after the bomb goes off. They..." They what? What the fuck did they do to Nova.
"They were dragging Nova into the van and she was fighting them back. She was covered in scratches and blood. She's hurt but she was fighting back. She wasn't giving up." That's my girl.
Rushing down the road I'm lucky it's clear and there is no traffic. I'm somehow only ten minutes away now and I hang up the phone. Rushing to get back to town.
When I get to the bakery I see the fire chief and all my brothers around the building. The door was gone and the windows were shattered.
I'm stopped by a police officer. "You can't come past sir. This is an investigation." I push the officer to the ground and run towards my brothers.
