I look at him, “Ruby was there alone?”

“She had the day off yes and as far as I know hasn’t left the compound. So she is home. We don't know if maybe someone was practicing firing or not.”

The next thing I know, Wizard comes rushing in.

“Is someone headed to Pres’s house right now? Ruby was home and is the one that was shot. Stacy, the bitch that the pres had fucked a few times got on to the compound and went back to his house and shot Ruby. I called for an ambulance on dispatch, alerted the hospital that we have a pregnant female being picked up and enroute.”

“Can you take me to the house?”

Lash looks at me and then back at Wizard, “Did the brothers get Stacy? Was she alone?”

“All the footage I looked through, she was by herself when she got in and up to the house. The brothers have confiscated her and brought her to the basement for when Terror feels like dealing with her. I sent a message out to all the brothers, even the ones helping with the runs.”

Lash nods his head and looks back at me, “Do you think you can help her until the ambulance arrives?”

“I can do my best.”

“Alright, follow me.”

I can feel my heart beating out of my chest as we make our way to Terror's home. We are all running as fast as we can. I notice several brothers searching around the home and along the property as we make our way up the stairs. When we get in I am met with a horror I didn’t think I would ever see in my life. Laying on the floor in the living room is a beautiful red head, blood is coming out of her shoulder despite the brother that is putting pressure on it and another brother is placing pressure on another wound on her abdomen.

“Holy Fuck.” I hear Lash say next to me as I run over and relieve one of the brothers checking the wound or wounds on her abdomen.

I apply pressure and ask one of them to hold the fabric back over the wound and then quickly check her pulse. It is faint, but it is there.

“How far out is the ambulance?”

“They should be here any minute. Can you do anything to help her or the baby?”

“How far along is she?” I ask because obviously she is far enough along to show, but I don’t think she is full term.

Lash inhales and looks at Ruby with tears in his eyes, “She’s twenty-five weeks.”

I sigh, “Fuck.”

I go back to examine her and I notice that none of the wounds are through and through so that means bullets are lodged in her shoulder and her abdomen. Who knows what amount of damage has been done and if anything hit the baby. As I am assessing her and triaging the best I can in this situation we hear sirens and doors slamming. The next thing I know she is being loaded onto a stretcher and carried out to the ambulance.

Most of the brothers run out of the house and head towards the clubhouse, I assume to get on their bikes. I know I should head back inside and grab my kids so that Rachel can head to the hospital if she needs to be with them as well. Running back into the clubhouse, I enter the security code for the daycare room and Rachel is running around trying to get all the children/s things put together.

“Hey, Rach, let me stay here and get everyone’s stuff together. I will wait for the parents to come get their kids, go get to Stoney so you guys can head up to the hospital.”

She pulls me in for a hug, “Thank you so much. I just really want to be there for Terror, I don’t know Ruby all that well, but I know how much she means to him. He has been through so much already and for this to happen. Did you see her?”

I nod my head, “I will take care of everything and then I’ll meet you guys at the hospital.”

She nods and heads out of the room. Now I just have to wait for all the brothers and their ol’ ladies to come and get their kiddos.

Chapter Twenty-Three

Dragon

It has been two weeks since I left for Ashford, Maine with Thorn and some of the other brothers. Shepherd, the current president of the DCMC, Ashford chapter asked for some of us to come up and help with some shipments with the Callahan Family. We have been providing additional security for the transport of the weapons and drugs that we are moving for the family.

It has really been nice getting away from everything and just giving myself some time to think about the situation I am in. It is hopefully giving Liza time to think about the situation too. She is driving me mad, I haven’t talked to her since I left and as hard as that has been, I have been giving her space to miss me too. I know that those months we were apart before she missed me she just didn’t want to say she did because she was pregnant and angry. Now, she is no longer pregnant and doing crazy shit like dating dumb ass doctors who have no business with a woman like her.

I roll over in my bed at the clubhouse so that I am on my back and just think about all the shit that has happened in our time together.

I push open the door to my room and the clubhouse and bring in the beautiful woman that has been haunting my dreams for months now with me. I pull her forward so I can close the door and lock it so we are not interrupted. Pulling her to into me I am sure she can feel how fucking hard I am for her. I bring my mouth down on hers with all the rough, intense desire and passion I am feeling for this woman. I spin us around and move us back until her back hits the door.
