Free Coming Home: Dominant Devils Book 2 by H.M. Stewart Page B

over my best friend’s make shift hospital bed. Now here I sit hashing out the early events of the day with the rest of the crew. Carrin and Athena were back. The mess with the shoot-out was cleaned up and the officials paid off to make it look like a high jack gone wrong. I was ready for this fucking day to be over, yet here I sit at the head of the table at damn near midnight and I knew I wouldn’t be finding any sleep for a while. My best friend was itching to ask the question I knew was coming. Now that he was patched up and his sister was back where she belonged he was itching to find out why Madison wasn’t around.  I’d deal with that in a few. Right now I needed to zone back in on the debate unfolding at my meeting table.
    "And that would be...." Tank said waiting for Zeus’ response.
    "Why Denver? I mean there's chapters a hell of a lot closer to us than that. I never realized til now that every cut today we saw on those cock suckers says Denver."
    Before anyone else could speak I broke in. I needed to put this shit to bed for a few hours or we would be here til this time tomorrow night hashing this shit out. "Point taken. I guess we'll have to ask our visitor tomorrow won't we? I'm with you though, it seems like all this shit has to deal with someone or something that happened in Denver. I'll put the word out and see if the local Grizzlie fucks know anything. For all we know they don't even know their playing in their own backyard. I mean Athens and Kingstree are only a couple hour drive from here. Close enough they should have let them know but far enough away to go unnoticed. Anybody got anything else before I shut this shit down," I said knowing what was coming next.
    "Yeah Prez I got something. Where the fuck is Madison? What aren’t you fuckers telling me," Wall asked and the room fell silent. And there it was. The question of the hour. The one everyone was avoiding the answer to. 
    Without answering Wall's question, I told everyone to get some sleep but to be back at the clubhouse by noon tomorrow. We would need to get back to digging into shit. With a slap of the gavel the meeting was over. I waited for everyone to leave the room before turning to my wounded friend.
    “She’s not here brother. She took off last night before the girls went missing,” I said as calmly as I could. Instead of sitting back and waiting for Wall to lose his shit I reached into my cut and pulled out the note. The note my sister left begging for time away. Time away she needed because the fucker in front of me was too stupid to go after what they both wanted.
    “Before you say another word you need to listen to this asshole. After I read you every last word on this piece of paper you’re going to tell me what exactly happened last night. You’re gonna tell me what was so bad that my sister decided to disappear into thin air. You feel me dick head?”
    “Yeah I got you. Let’s get the fuck on with this. I’m dying over here brother. Something isn’t sitting well with me. I have this bad feeling that something bad is going to happen to her and I won’t be there to do shit about it,” Wall said while barely holding his sanity.
    “Okay listen up fucker. I’m only gonna read this once.” I read every word of my sister’s letter, nice and slow, letting it sink into the asshole sitting next to me. I hope like hell this might would get through his thick ass skull.
    Hey guys! I wanted to leave you some love before I ran off into the night. I beg you to please let me do this. I'm not sure where I'm heading. I only know that I need a few weeks to clear my head. Please know that I'll be back but I need some time to get my head on straight. To be honest with you I'm at a weak point in my life and you guys know that it's not like me. I can't crumble in front of you all, so please give me the time and the space to put myself back together. I'll be sure to check in with you all in a few days. I love you all with every ounce of
