“A year ago, I would have tossed her out on her ass if you said those words. Right now, I can’t afford to lose one of the only female fighters I have on the roster. This could be my year.”
“Ugh, ya know she’s from me psycho part of the family. I wouldn’t even claim her if it wouldn’t make me look like a liar. I loathe the day she learned we were friends.”
I snort. “I’ll cut her as soon as I find a replacement.”
“Exactly why we’re hitting the fights tonight. I heard?—”
I hold my hand up as my phone rings. Seeing it’s Cole, I give Taegan a nod to let her know I’ll talk to her later then answer the call. She shrugs and turns to leave.
“What’s up, Cole?” I answer the device.
“I want ya to take a trip with me. Jamie needs to handle some business, so he can’t come, but I need family for this one. There’s something we need to do for our brother,” he says.
“For Logan?”
“Aye, this is all my fault. I think I fucked up and set this shit in motion. He wouldn’t be in some prison lost in the system if it wasn’t for me.
“I need to make sure everything he left behind is taken care of. It’s been four months. This needs to happen now.”
“What about Connie and Kate?”
“Connie is where I need her. Kate is with me; I need her too. This needs to happen now and ya need to be with me.”
“Okay, come pick me up from the gym. I’ll be ready. Do you need anything else from me?”
“Be armed. I don’t know what we’re walking into.”
“Ach, what’s going on, Cole? What aren’t you telling me?”
“I should have left her hidden.Fuck,” he roars. “I’ll tell ya when I see ya. For now, be ready when I get to ya.”
CHAPTER 5
Changes Everything
Dylan
“Wait a minute.You’ve met this girl?” I ask as my chest fills with worry.
“Aye, I’ve met her a time or two. Logan is in love with her. I should have checked in on her a long time ago.
“I just don’t have a good feeling about this. I thought it best to stay away at first.”
“I could have looked after her,” Kate speaks up from the back seat.
She’s been back there fuming. I think she’s as pissed as I am that Cole is just speaking up about this. We wouldn’t be rushing into this if he had told us.
“Aye, but I didn’t want to put ya in the middle. Fuck, I didn’t know this would spread. Logan keeps her hidden away nicely, but something came up and I know I need to lay eyes on her.”
“What came up?”
Cole falls silent for a moment, and I don’t think he’s going to answer me at first. I turn in the passenger seat to watch his profile as he drives. Brooklyn has had to take on more responsibility since Logan has been missing.
I’m glad we finally know where to begin looking for my oldest brother, but even I know this isn’t good. Cole hasn’t told me what all is going on or why Logan ended up in prison, but I know nothing good is behind it all.
When I found out my grandda summoned Logan to Ireland in the first place, I had a ton of questions. I know in the pit of my stomach he’s behind this somehow. Cole pulls a hand down his face and blows out a breath.
“I made a mistake. We were so close to the Alliance coming together once and for all, so I did something stupid.”
