Adam stood in position, waiting with his men around the house.He'd heard the noise, he'd seen the men come in and in his years of being in service with Jordan McGrath, this was the moment he's been waiting for.He hope to rip those badtards up before his boss even gets to see them.He had the little miss, the one that always smiles whenever she greeted him, upstairs and being watched but he knew from the movement that Meghan was the prime target.They didn't look like they had any business with anything upstairs, whoever they were, they obviously knew exactly where her room was.The poor woman has been through enough and they'd have to go through him and his guys before they got to her or laid a hand on her.The three men he was tracking were trying to stealthily edge towards the side of the house that housed her room making it easier for his circle to have them surrounded.He signaled for his men to slowly close them in without rousing the

While JoJo looked forward to seeing everyone back home, she hadn't been expecting to open the door to Brooks.Usually, it was her energy ball of a sister with a mouth bigger than her barreling through those doors and into them, not Brooks and definitely not with tears in the old woman's eyes.All the worries and questions she'd been trying to keep at bay since that call Jordan took in the car came rushing back into her head with a vengeance as she held a crying Brooks to her body.Her first thought was her mother.Brooks have gotten so used to the woman that it'd take something happening to her to have the woman loosing this much tears with equal fear in her eyes."I'm so sorry, Jocie, I should have done better."She heard her mutter as the tears continued to come."What happened to my mother, Brooks?"She asked, an uninvited quiver in her voice, making her sound less confident than she'd have liked.The older woman's ey

Jordan was restless and rearing to go already  If anybody has information on where his girl is like Brad had promised, then he wanted to be there, bursting her out of their grasp. She didn't deserve to suffer for nothing and if he could help it, he wanted her back here where he could see her and held her and fucking watch her play. He wanted to see her haul that bear of hers, Alfie, around and play with that Golden retriever puppy he hasn't even seen since getting back. He should have gotten her a full grown guard dog instead. Maybe a pitbull, a Rottweiler or even a pure bred Cane Corso. Anyone of these would have done a better job of keeping her safe than her retriever puppy that she calls puppy. He followed Brad out, leaving the guy in his basement still cuffed to the wall, only higher again, and gasping for his own breath. His men were already assembled and lined up and waiting when they got outside. At

Tat didn't think it was wise of the boss to order for the kidnap of the child sleeping on the couch in the room he was watching.No, he decided, it wasn't, not at all.The little one had finally cried herself back to sleep and the more he hung around in here, the closer he was to snapping and taking this game into his own hands.He'd do anything in this business and for his boss, anything but hurt a child.And this girl lying in here was one and they were already hurting her by keeping her here.When he'd made the threat to the woman they'd brought in the last time, he hadn't thought he'd have to make good of it.But she hadn't fazed or brought in whatever it was she had that belonged to his boss.And now they were resorting to kids?For him, this is where the order ends, having her in this room would be the most they'd do to her, he'd make sure of it.He'd taken the job of watching her to make sure she stays safe throug

The deeper they went into the garage, the darker and dirtier it got, but Jordan would rather be here for Riley than anywhere else in the world.Brad had split the group up and he found himself heading somewhere north of the place with only his weapons, courage and anger to keep him going.The garage had turned out to be a front, an abandoned one at the moment. There were no signs of life or occupancy in here, nothing except filth and a gut wrenching smell.But Charlie had sworn this was it and that meant there has to be somewhere else, another outlet.Hopefully one of them will stumble upon it soon and alert the others.He couldn't wait for this phase of shit to be over and for their lives to return to even the tiniest bit of normalcy.He needed a break from all these.He came to an abrupt stop at the first sign of voices he heard.This was definitely it, the outlet they were looking for.And fuck it was a whole goddamn
