I spend the rest of the afternoon with my brother and Dani. Thoughts of protecting her keep going through my head.
Tank comes in and sits next to me, signaling Zeke to hand him a beer. He does without question.
“How’s it going, brother?” I ask. He rarely comes out here. He has been spending lots of time trying to find his Old Lady.
“Alright. I just needed a break for a bit,” he says, but I raise an eyebrow at him, not believing him. He never just takes a break.
He looks at me and chuckles with a shake of his head. “Mama said she would wreck all my monitors and any device I used if I didn’t take a break.”
I nod my head in understanding. “Yeah, that sounds like Mama.”
“Any luck finding her?” I ask him.
He shakes his head. “No, I don’t have much to go on, but I just can’t stop myself from trying,” he admits.
“If you ever need help, just let me know, brother,” I say.
“Will do,” Tank says with a sigh.
Everyone hopes that Tank will find his Old Lady but, with each week that passes, you can see his disappointment increase.
“I think you will find her in time. Especially with how determined you are,” I tell him.
“I don’t know what the fuck it is about that woman. I know she saved me. She’s the one who found me and stuck around because she wanted to make sure that I recovered,” he says with a sigh.
“Sometimes when you find the one, you just know. Fuck that’s what it was about Dani. I knew the second I laid eyes on her that she was mine, and that I would do anything to claim her,” I say.
“You are right about that. I wish I would have gotten her name before she took off,” he mutters.
I have a feeling that he will find her eventually, but only when the time is right. I hope that it’s sooner rather than later though, since I can see how much it’s breaking him apart.
Everything happens for a reason. I wasn’t sure I believed that until I met Dani. I look over to her with Zeke.
They were two club kids who were taken away from the club for two different reasons and, yet, somehow, they found each other before they came back home.
We started looking into the adoptive agency that Zeke’s adoptive parents had gotten him from. Whizz has spent time looking into their files and, so far, each one looks legit.
The one thing I can think of is that the brother who betrayed the club had paid someone higher up to push through and get Zeke into it. Everyone else we found was through a different system, and that has to be why we were only able to find them and not Zeke. He made it impossible for us to track where Zeke went, since we were spending time looking through human trafficking and the dark web instead of legitimate adoptive agencies.
We just need to find out which person was paid off to take Zeke and adopt him out.
I have no worries. I think we will find whomever they are, and they will pay for everything they have done.
No one will get away with this.
Chapter Sixteen
Dani
It’s a few days later, and Zane and I are having a family dinner with Zeke and our parents. We head to Carmen and Leon’s house. My father never had a place since it was always just him. I know my mom and he were going to get one before she took off. I think he couldn’t bare to live alone after that and, instead, just stayed at the club.
Now they are talking about getting another place.
I was happy for them. Finally getting what they have always wanted.
Through the weeks, I haven’t spent much time with Zane and Zeke’s parents.
I was nervous since it was their parents and I really wanted them to like me.
