“We get all the women and kids and we send them to the cabins,” Torque said. “Gray and I will stay here. Get Knight and his boys back. Call Vance. Get shit sorted as fast as possible.”
“Need to call Flynn, too,” Gray added. “Let him know what’s going down.”
My mind was in overdrive. What would happen to the club with most of the boys locked up? At that moment it seemed like the Iron Horsemen were going to take over Waco, regardless of whether or not Sanchez and his men came to our aid. I didn’t like the idea of Colt behind bars. And I especially didn’t like him injured and behind bars.
“How long will it take to get Colt and the others out?” I asked. Fear ran deep. “How do you know Dev doesn’t have guys waiting for Colt and the boys in jail?”
“We don’t know, but those boys can handle themselves,” Gray said. “They have to now. It’s gonna at least be a few days before we can get them out.”
“A few days,” I murmured. “We need to act and we need to do it fast.”
Torque frowned. “You’re not part ofwe. You’re part of the women and children.”
“I’m not leaving town,” I protested. “All this shit started because of me. Dev made this personal. And now he’s got my man behind bars so he can wreak havoc? Pick us off one by one? I don’t fucking think so.”
“We can’t involve you in club business, Mia,” Gray said. “Even though I enjoy your spunk, we don’t put women into the line of fire.”
“Have people forgotten that I took a shot at Dev in the park? I’m made of stronger stuff.”
“Darlin’,” Torque began. “I don’t want to be a dick, but I’m gonna be a dick. You might have shot at him, but you didn’t get him.”
“No one else got him either,” I muttered under my breath.
“Safest place for you is with the others,” Gray said, clearly not having heard me.
“Fine,” I said. “I’ll go with them.”
“I’ll call the lawyer,” Torque said.
“I’ll call Knight,” Gray added. “Mia, get Darcy. Tell her everyone is going to the cabins and to get people ready.”
“Sure, I just need to use the restroom real fast. Then I’ll head out back and talk to her.”
Gray didn’t say anything since he was already pulling out his phone. Torque did the same.
I went into our bedroom, struggling to keep my shit together, praying Colt had left his cell phone on the nightstand.
Bingo.
I picked up the burner and scrolled through the numbers, finding the one I wanted. He answered on the first ring.
“It’s Mia. I need your help.”
“I don’t want to go to Louisiana,” Silas complained as he buckled himself into the back seat of Darcy’s Range Rover. Captain was nestled between him and Lily, who sat behind the driver’s seat. Cam was riding shotgun.
“It’ll be fun.” I forced a smile. “You get to be outside and sleep on a bunk bed. I bet if you ask nicely, Cam will let you have the top bunk.”
“But then how will Captain get up there?” Silas inquired.
“You’re a smart kid.” I grinned. “Maybe the bottom bunk is better.”
“Why aren’t you coming?”
“Because I have to run some errands,” I lied. “Trust me. You won’t even notice I’m gone.”
“Why isn’t Colt coming?” His voice sounded panicky and not at all like normal kid panicky.
“Hey,” I said softly. “Look at me.”
