“I don’t believe you.”
“Then don’t. My focus is to get Lucien out of here.” He looked at his brother. “I owe him that much.”
“You owe him more than that.”
The trill sound of a cell phone echoed in the cavernous space.
“It’s not mine.” Lorcan held his hands out.
Everyone looked around before looking at Jayden.
Jayden frowned and picked his phone out of his pocket.
“Hello?”
Everyone watched as he listened intently to the unknown caller.
He hung up.
“We have our ride. Right outside the door of the club.” Jayden shook his head and snorted.
“Who was that?” Barrett asked.
“Granny.”
Chapter Thirty-Five
The Guardians marched right out of the Triple X, carrying Lucien and Mitchell.
Barrett had seen some strange things in his lifetime but the fact they were walking out bare ass naked into the public was one thing he’d never forget. They’d ripped their clothes during shifting so the only one who was covered was Zane and Catty.
Lorcan walked beside them, holding back anyone who dared to get close.
Thankfully Catty had the presence of mind to grab some tablecloths off the tables on their way out and cover Mitchell and Lucien up.
Waiting right in front like she promised was Granny in the driver’s seat and Haley in the passenger’s seat of an old RV.
They all climbed in and slammed the door before Granny pulled away from the curb.
“Good lord, none of you have any clothes on.” She pressed her lips together. “I swear I have never seen so many moons in all my life.”
“Granny, I never thought I’d say it but I’m damn glad to see you.” Barrett admitted.
Her face brightened as she turned off the street onto the main highway. “Does that mean you can put me on staff?”
“No!” they all answered in unison.
She scowled.
“Hey, sweetheart.” Jayden grabbed Haley and kissed her hard.
“Hey yourself.” She giggled.
“How did you know where we were?” Jayden quickly tied a towel he’d found in the bathroom around his waist.
“I knew something was up when I saw Lucien. So I got Haley to stay a little longer. While we were here, I met that young lady there.” She motioned to Catty. “At the coffee shop. I could smell Lucien’s scent on her and knew they were together. I knew Barrett had a tracer on all his Guardian’s phones. So I hacked in and found out where Lucien was. And I saw that you were all headed this direction. So I stayed. I kind of figured you boys might need some help getting out of trouble.”
“You hacked my system?” Barrett could feel another migraine coming on.
“Not me, I had help.”
“Who?”
“I can’t tell you.” Granny waved her hand in the air. “Anyway we saw you all roll into town and we followed you to the Triple X. When you guys didn’t come out, I knew you were in trouble and I knew you needed help. So I commandeered this RV to come get you.”
“Commandeered? You mean you stole it.” Jayden’s mouth dropped open.
Haley shook her head. “She said she would go out with this old man if he let her borrow his RV.”
“Well, I lied. I don’t like bald men. Plus he had bad breath. I’ll have someone drive it back to him later.” She shrugged.
“What about our bikes?” Damon asked.
“I’ve got it covered.” Lorcan pulled out his phone. He dialed and number and after a quick conversation hung up. “I’ve got Brutus and Killan on it. They are going to load them up and drive them back to Arkansas.” He glanced at Barrett. “That is, if it’s okay if we cross into your state.”
Barrett glared. “There better not be one fucking scratch on any of those bikes.”
“Understood.” Lorcan nodded.
“So now what?” Damon came and stood by Barrett. Some of the Guardians gathered around Lucien on the bed while the rest crowded around Mitchell on the couch.
“Now we get home and we bring this before the other Pack Masters.” Barrett looked at Lorcan. “Do you know if any of the other states are involved?”
He shook his head. “I don’t think so. If they were, Boudier would have bragged about it.”
“What do you want in return for your help, Lorcan?” Everyone wanted something. It was the way of the world.
He walked over to Lucien and lowered his voice as he addressed Barrett. “I want my brother’s forgiveness.”
“You did something that most find unforgiveable, Lorcan.” Barrett stated. “When you scarred his back. He could never take the Guardian tattoo.”
