Clio snatched his phone. “Chance Michaelson, get your ass on your bike and start looking. Our nephews are out there, and they need their uncles. Stop ringing people and search for them. Big Al and I can handle the communication,” Clio snapped.

“We can’t lose those boys…” Chance whispered, allowing himself a weak moment. Then his shoulders went back, and he nodded.

“Unwanted Bastards is riding, Rage is coming fromtheir direction, Devils Damned Disciples is also on the road,” Chance explained.

“And I can phone the others. Has SPD been alerted yet? Right. I’ll call them, and the old ladies will call the other allies. Go baby and bring our nephews home,” Clio said, shoving him.

Chance grabbed her and kissed her hard before striding off with Tiny at his shoulder. Banshee was covering Bear. Neither the President nor VP was allowed to ride alone.

“Alice, phone Onyx, Thalia, call Tiger. Bunny, you’ve got Scythe. Madisen, alert Lance, I am calling 911 and reporting it. Chey, contact Lio direct and tell him I’m making a missing person’s report and get him on board,” Clio ordered.

“Thank fuck you’re back,” Tati said as she slipped into the room.

Clio offered an abrupt nod. She knew Tati referred to her breakdown, but now wasn’t the time. Three little boys and an old lady needed them.

“Tati, gather everyone else up and make sandwiches and snacks. Get coffee brewing because eventually, every fucker on a Harley will come,” Clio said.

Tati nodded, grabbing Sallie-Anne and headed to the large communal kitchen that Chance had ordered building. It came in handy for gatherings and familymeals.

Clio made her report and told the officer she spoke to contact Emilo Hawthorne and warned him that bikers were out looking for the missing children and Kenny. The cop got snooty with her, and Clio read him the riot act before hanging up.

“It’s Lio, I’ll go help Tati,” Chey announced, handing her a phone.

“Lio, I made the report, but Officer Samson didn’t think it was serious enough to alert the force. Could you do something?”

“Give me ten minutes to update the chief, and I can guarantee we’ll have BOLO out asap,” Lio replied. “Chey said Kendara was driving Rooster’s truck and had the three boys with her?”

“Yes.”

“Hang in, SPD will mobilise,” Lio replied and hung up.

Clio hoped so. Her phone rang, and she answered.

“Clio, we just heard. The hospital phoned me, Link’s been rushed into emergency surgery. Drake is coming straight to Spearfish, dropping me off and then heading out to search. I have told Artemis, and she’s alerting the Juno group, and I’ve also called Hawthorne’s. He is sending people your way,” Phoe babbled down the phone.

“Thanks, I can’t leave here, can you stay with Roo? He’s got to be climbing the walls by now.”

“Not a problem. Speak soon.”

“Shit,” Clio muttered; when it rained, it poured. Her heart went out to Rooster. He had to be torn. Shecouldn’t imagine having to pick between one of her children.

Rooster

He paced the corridor back and forth as he waited on news. Running footsteps made him look up, and he reached for Phoe as she ran in. Phoe wrapped her arms around him and squeezed.

“I can’t do shit for any of my kids,” Rooster murmured.

“You can for Link, and that’s by being here. As soon as he is out of theatre, he’s gonna need his daddy,” Phoe replied.

“I don’t know if I’m better here or out there searching, Phoe,” Rooster admitted.

“Kendara and the boys have everyone hunting for them. Link has you. You have to be here for him.”

“All my kids need me,” Rooster said bitterly.

“And they have you, honey. Your brothers and allies are searching for them. That’s because of you. Few missing children would attract such a large search effort. Trust them, and they’ll find your family. But you need to give your strength to Link.”
