Tack nodded.
“Just you two?” Lucas pushed.
“Reason why you wanna know who’s here?” Tack pushed back.
Lawson said quietly, “We’ve got news.”
“Spill,” Tack ordered and Lawson looked to Hound. “Now, Lawson,” he growled.
Tack watched both Lawson and Lucas’s bodies go alert as if waiting for or preparing to attack.
“A red 1967 Mustang with tags registered to Ride Custom Cars and Bikes was found abandoned on the side of 6th Avenue. Tyra drive that ride?” Lawson asked.
Tack closed his eyes and looked to his boots, that burn in his chest searing deep. He knew then why they wanted to know how many brothers were there. If they felt they had to lock him down, they wanted to know what kind of fight they had on their hands.
“That’s Cherry’s ride,” Hound confirmed.
“Cherry?” Tack heard Lucas ask and he opened his eyes and looked up.
“Tyra,” Hound grunted, his hand landing on Tack’s shoulder.
“That all you got?” Tack asked and two sets of surprised eyes hit him. They thought he’d lose his shit.
And he would, she didn’t come out of this breathing.
Now, him losing his shit would in no way help his woman.
“That’s all we got,” Lucas stated.
“No blood?” Tack asked.
“No blood,” Lawson affirmed.
This was not good news, it was not bad. Lescheva wasn’t messy when he did his wet work and it depended on his mood when he’d stop playing and get down to business.
“Are you confirming Tyra Masters is missing?” Lucas asked and Tack felt Hound’s hand leave his shoulder.
“If she’s good when we find her, DPD could f**k this,” Hound growled from behind Tack, knowing Lucas’s question meant he wanted authorization to get the Denver Police Department involved in an official capacity.
“DPD won’t f**k this,” Lawson returned.
“DPD don’t know what they’re dealin’ with,” Hound shot back.
“DPD knows what they’re dealing with and they know there’s a possible hostage involved and they have experience extricating hostages while they’re still breathing so DPD won’t f**k this,” Lawson retorted then his eyes went to Tack. “And I know you know, man, and I sure as f**k haven’t forgot. I owe you. DPD won’t f**k this because I won’t let them f**k this.”
“We’ll discuss who owes who after she’s home safe,” Tack replied then he looked to Lucas, “Make your call.”
Lucas stepped off to the side, pulling out his phone.
“Tack, brother,” Hound clipped and Tack turned to him. “We do not need cops involved in this.”
“The Russians got my woman. She needs every man on the hunt she can get.”
“Tack, this could get messy,” Hound reminded him of something he already knew.
“Objective, she ends this day home and breathing.”
“Tack –”
