CHAPTER 91
LUCAS POV
As soon as we got to dad’s mansion we got out of the car and walked inside to see the cleaners everywhere trying to clean up from the party last night.
None of them were talking and they were all working hard, which isn't unusual. Dad always made sure that they were out of here by a certain time and he didn’t like a lot of noise in the house.
They knew to keep their mouths shut while they were inside this house.
I looked around everywhere before I went upstairs to dad’s office and there was a guard standing outside.
“I’m sorry. Your father has asked for no interruptions this morning.” The guard said.
But Harry and Jax walked ahead of me and Harry grabbed him around the neck and kneed him in the stomach while Jax punched him across the face and they left him unconscious on the ground.
I opened the office door and dad was in there with several people that I had seen while growing up but I didn’t know any of their names. They just worked for dad and always tried to tell me what to do.
I always thought of them as assholes so I never bothered to try and find out who they were.
“Lucas. What the hell is the meaning of this?” Dad asked, standing up from behind his desk.
“Did you do it?” I demanded.
“Do what?” He asked.
“Did you take her?” I asked.
Harry and Jax were both standing at my side and since dad was the one that had us trained, they all knew what we were capable of.
These men in suits weren’t game enough to come anywhere near us. Which was fine with me.
“Please gentlemen. I need a moment with my son and his friends.” Dad said.
So everyone left the room and they closed the door behind them.
“Did you take Skylar?” I demanded through gritted teeth.
“Why would I take her? She’s not my problem. At least not yet.” Dad said, sitting back down.
“Where the hell did this come from then? You’re the only person I’ve ever seen use it.” Jax said, throwing the tranquilizer dart on his desk.
He sat there staring at it for a moment before he picked it up and started examining it.
“It’s not one of mine.” William said.
“What?” I asked.
“Mine has the family seal on the base of it. Remember, so whoever we use it on knows not to fuck with us. This didn’t come from my supply.” William said, putting it back on the desk.
“Then where else do they come from?” Jax asked.
“Since people have heard of me using them, they’ve been getting creative. I’ve heard of similar ones being used around town for different things. I’ve been keeping tabs on where they’ve been used in case someone is trying to set me up.” Dad said, opening the drawer to his desk and he pulled out a file.
He put it on the table and I walked over to look at it.
“This is a list of all the places that the darts have been used?” I asked, confused.
“Yeah.”
So I turned around and walked out with Jax and Harry.
“That makes no sense. Why would someone be using those tranqs in public places?” Harry asked.
“I don’t know. But we’re about to find out.” I said as we walked out of the house and got back in the car.
We drove straight into the city and we stopped at a gun and ammo store.
As soon as we walked inside we saw that there was a bit of security in the place and we walked over to the counter.
“Are you the owner?” I asked.
“I am.” He said. So I placed the dart on the counter.
“This was found in my house this morning. I heard that it was used in this store as well.” I said. So he picked it up and looked at it.
“Yeah. It was. I was the only one working here and I don’t remember what happened before I got hit. I just remember waking up and a lot of inventory was gone.” He said.
“So, they used it to rob you in broad daylight?” Jax asked.
“Yeah.”
“And you don’t remember anything about the people who did that?” Harry asked.
“What’s this about?” He asked.
“They broke into my house last night and used that tranquilizer to kidnap my girlfriend.” Jax said.
“Shit. I knew that bitch was up to no good.” He said.
“Bitch? It was a woman?” Jax asked.
“Yeah. That’s all I can really remember. She was wearing a gray hoodie. She didn’t really stand out. She had black hair. But that’s all I can remember. I couldn’t even give the cops a good description for a sketch artist.” He explained.
“That’s alright. You’ve given us heaps. Thank you.” I said.
So we walked back outside to the car and we sat in the car without driving anywhere for a moment.
“A woman did this. How the hell are we ever going to find out who the hell this woman could be?” I asked.
“I don’t know. Who has the capability of pulling something like this off?” Harry asked.
“Who would want to rob a gun and ammo store?” I asked.
“Someone who was preparing for war. They knew exactly what they were doing. It says in the file that the robbery happened two months ago. Which means, they’ve been planning this for a while.” Harry said.
“Planning what? They robbed a few stores and kidnapped Skylar. What are they planning?” Jax asked.
“I don’t know. But we’re not going to let them get away with it.” I said.
We drove around to the other places where the staff were knocked out with these darts and I was really surprised to see a couple of clothing stores on the list.
I guess the woman wanted new clothes but didn’t want to pay for them.
Looking at all the places that were targeted, she was all over the place. The darts were used at places all over the city and not many of them were making sense to us.
“Where the hell do we go from here?” I asked, getting back in the car after yet another person told us that they don’t remember the woman.
“Skylar could be anywhere by now. I mean, they had a few hours head start on us.” Harry said.
“We can’t assume that she’s still in the city. That would be too dangerous. Anyone who knows us knows that we have too many connections.” I said.
We were feeling completely dejected after checking out all those stores and even their surveillance cameras weren’t any good. There was never a clear shot of the woman’s face. She was good.
But this was far from over. We weren’t going to let Skylar down again.
Not after last night. We needed to make sure that she knew we were going to make it up to her. That’s all I could think of and I’m sure that’s all that Harry is thinking of as well.
The last interaction we had with Skylar was when she was screaming at us. I don’t want that to be the last time I ever hear her voice.
