“Don’t worry, Ly. You’ll figure your shit out eventually.”
“First, I really need to get my car back.”
Looking for my phone, I find it and see the broken screen. “Great, now I can’t even call Thane to find out where he took my car! Can you take me to the fairgrounds later? Maybe he left it there.”
“Sure,” Holly agrees. “But first, I’m going to need to see some photos of this Barrett guy. Let’s stalk him on social media.”
“I doubt he has social media,” I tell her with a smile. “I don’t know him well, but he’s like low-key. And he’s a biker.”
“Really? With a club?”
“Yep. The Savage Kings over in Rockland.”
“Oooh, your dad hates those guys.”
“I know…wait, how do you know that?” I ask her.
“I just figured he wasn’t happy that they started a chapter so close to the Hounds.”
“You would be right,” I say with a sigh.
CHAPTER FIFTEEN
Barrett
Istartle awake after only a few hours of sleep, something gnawing at my gut.
My first conscious thought goes immediately to Lyla. Is that what my dream was about? Or was it a nightmare?
We were back in the fairgrounds’ parking lot, and right before she fell down, she was running as if the hounds of hell were on her heels.
That’s the part that jolted me into consciousness.
Last night, I thought she stumbled because of her high heels. But when I went over to check on her, she screamed bloody murder. For the first few seconds, she was terrified of me and breathing fast like she had been running.
She would’ve told me if she was runningfromsomeone, right?
I didn’t see anyone around her, but maybe I scaredthem off. The parking lot was dark and seemed empty other than me lurking around waiting for RJ.
Isaac Perry isn’t the most liked man in the state. Is it possible that one of his enemies came after Lyla?
I try not to let my mind wander into the what-ifs. Instead, I rack my brain, trying to figure out how I can see Lyla again without her father finding out and shooting me.
Then it occurs to me that if I just try and smooth things over with Isaac, maybe he would approve of us legit dating instead of sneaking around.
It’s probably a long shot, and Remy just put his foot down about Lyla a few hours ago. He’s going to be pissed I’m going against him, but that’s never really slowed down me or my brothers. Still, I feel like a madman, almost giddy, as I make plans to try to see Lyla.
One thing I’m not feeling wild enough to do is show up unarmed. If Isaac is packing, then I should be too.
“So, am I just the club’s taxi service now or what?” Jordan asks Saturday evening when he’s driving me and RJ to the fairground after he closed up the garage. Well, he thinks we’re going to the fairgrounds.
“You do what we tell you to do, right, prospect?” I ask as I give him a light punch in his arm since I don’t want him to wreck.
“Fine. Whatever.”
“Make a left here,” I say when I begin to give him the directions to the Perrys’ house. RJ doesn’t even notice until we pull up in front of the home.
“Uh, are we lost, man?” Jordan asks.
