“I know where they are.” The problem was, he needed backup to get there. “I’ve got to go to the hospital.”
“Why the hospital?”
“That’s where Brianna and Death are. She knows who Master is.” They rushed out of the house. Snake didn’t make conversation on the way back to the hospital. There was no need. He saw several bikes in the parking lot, and among them was Death’s bike. Charging toward the hospital he was aware of Dick and Sean at his heels. He didn’t care what it took, only that he got his woman back.
Brianna sat with her head resting on Death’s chest.
“What do you know about Master?” he asked, moving toward them.
Brianna tensed up.
“Snake, this isn’t the time or the—”
“He’s got Jessica. He’s in town, and I need to know everything about him.”
Death looked at Brianna. “You knew he was going to come to town?”
“No, I didn’t. Gonzalez and Ronald are dead. His supplier of women is gone.” Brianna pressed a hand to her mouth. “I don’t know what he’s capable of.”
“What about Jessica? I need to know if there’s anything I should be worried about.”
“I don’t know anything about him. He doesn’t like staying in the same place.” Brianna rubbed at her head. “We were always moving around. He’s rich and can go anywhere he likes.”
“So I’ve got a short time to get her back?”
“Yes. He’s heavily armed. He’ll have men with him who are capable of doing anything. They will kill anyone he orders.”
Snake nodded. “I only needed to know if they were heavily armed.”
“Why?” Sean asked.
He was already making his way out of the hospital. “I’m not going to put Jessica or the club in danger. I need weapons.”
“Death, don’t,” Brianna said.
Glancing back he saw Death cupping Brianna’s face. “I’ve got to do this.”
Why hadn’t he voted at the time to take out Master? Death had wanted to go looking, and they’d not long taken care of Gonzalez. Now this bastard man had Jessica, and there was no hope for any of them.
“We need to get her back,” Sean said.
“I’m going to take her back.”
“This is your fault.” Sean charged at him, slamming him against the hospital wall. “I told them you’d get her killed. You’d be the one to put her in danger.”
Snake clocked him with his fist. “I’m not the one who caused this. I ordered Jessica to stay in the hospital. Lydia brought this to her. Lydia put her in danger. You want to blame anyone, you blame that little slut. Jessica was safe until she answered her call, and now I’m going to go and put right what she fucking fucked up.” Pushing Sean away from him, he headed for the car. It was getting dark once again, and he hoped to God that he wasn’t too late to save his woman.

Jessica stared at her bound hands. So much time had passed, it felt like years, but in truth it was only a few short hours, if not minutes.
“You’re such a beautiful woman,” he said, caressing his hand down her back.
She didn’t flinch. Closing her eyes she thought about Snake, of his loving touch. She wasn’t under any illusions. If Snake didn’t get to her in time, this man was going to rape her, use her, and kill her. The only reason he hadn’t raped her already was because of her menstrual cycle.
Last night Snake had held her, rubbing her stomach as the cramps had been painful. She’d hated being on her menstrual cycle last night whereas now she was more than thankful.
“I can’t wait to show you off. You’re going to be such a prize.”
His hand landed on her covered ass. She wore a pair of panties but nothing else. Her stomach rolled as he stroked her body as if it was his right.
“You’re still convinced Snake’s going to come.”
It wasn’t a question. She’d not spoken to him, and she wasn’t going to start now.
“The Chaos Bleeds crew will never find you. They don’t have a clue where you are.”
He moved to sit before her. She stared into his eyes, trying to think of something, anything that would get him to leave.
The door banged open, interrupting him from speaking further and her from talking at all.
“What is the meaning of this?” Master asked.
Lydia was thrown to the floor.
“We’ve got to go, Sir. Your identity may be compromised.”
“My identity is never compromised.”
He stood up glaring at the men. Lydia cried out, and tears slipped out of Jessica’s eyes. She hated hearing someone in pain, and this wasn’t any easier for her.
