“Well.” I stole a sip from my bottle. “We had to think fast and I went with the first idea that popped in my head.”

Maverick side eyed me.

“It’s under Mrs. Vander’s back porch.” I shrugged.

“What the fuck, Dom?” Maverick scoffed.

“What? It’s solid. Who is going to expect some ninety-year-old woman to be hoarding cocaine?”

“He has a good argument,” Romeo chimed in.

Maverick though about it for moment. “I got to give you this one.” He chuckled.

“Thanks, besides, that old lady loves me.” I checked him with my shoulder.

“I think it’s best we leave it there until we get a plan and figure out who the fuck is setting us up. I got a pretty decent idea.” Maverick motioned to Amelia for another.

“We staying till close?” I asked him.

“Hell no. Have you met your sister?” He arched a brow. “I’m having one more then taking my ass home.”

“That’s probably a smart idea.” I agreed before downing the last of my beer.

I stood from the stool to stretch my legs when my phone buzzed in my pocket.

Dice

I swipe the screen. “Dice.”

“Dom, hey man I’m sorry to call, I know y’all got some shit going on.”

“Dice, what is it?” I interrupted.

“I uhhh…I don’t know what happened…...” He stammered.

A pit started to form in my stomach.

“Dice. Don’t fuck with me. What happened,” I growled.

“It’s Dani. She passed out. Gerry and Tanner are taking her to the hospital now.”

It now felt like a bottomless pit and I was falling head first.

“Where?” I asked. I started to leave, but Maverick grabbed my arm.

“Northwest General,” he answered.

I hung up the phone and ran a hand through my hair.

“What happened?” Maverick still had a grip on my arm.

“We got to go. They’re taking Dani to the hospital.”

Before he had time to react, I was out the door and on my bike. I didn’t give a shit if I broke every traffic law that was in place. She needed me and I was damn sure going to be there this time.
