“What the fuck?” I shouted.

“They needed her. She is the best at what she does,” Nav argued, trying to justify the trust he completely destroyed.

I looked over at Gunner, who didn’t appear as outraged as I was.

“Are you gonna say anything?”

“No.”

“You both are assholes,” I yelled.

Turning for the door, I wanted to follow Melissa, make sure she didn’t do something stupid like leave. Obviously, someone was following her and Dani. They were in danger. They needed to stay here where I could protect them.

“Ghost, sit your ass down,” King ordered.

“I need to go to her. Make sure she doesn’t try to leave.”

“Key is on the gate; she isn’t going anywhere.” Turning toward the screen, he said, “What have you got, Nav?”

“Not much. Whoever he is, he knew where the cameras were in her office, but obviously not this one. He turned toward it multiple times, but he’s wearing a mask. I can run facial, but it will take a while with just eyes.”

“Run it. Until we figure out who this creep is, Melissa and Dani are confined to the clubhouse.”

“Good luck with that,” Cash muttered.

“What do you mean?” King asked.

“You remember what she was like? How many times did she sneak out of the house without Gunner knowing?”

“WHAT?” Gunner launched from his chair and slammed his hands down on the table as he glared at Cash.

“Still didn’t know about that, huh?” Cash snickered at Gunner.

“Why the fuck didn’t you tell me?”

“Because she was sneaking out to go to the fucking library.”

“How do you know?” Gunner asked.

“’Cause I fucking followed her.”

“Ok, enough. Ghost, go check on Melissa. Make sure she understands she can’t leave,” King ordered.

As I headed to the door, I heard Gunner ask, “Why the fuck him and not me?”

I closed the door on King’s reply, “She doesn’t want to fucking talk to you, asshole.”

Taking the stairs two at a time, I quickly put myself in front of Melissa’s door. Knocking softly, the door swung open and just as I thought, she was packing.

“Princess, you can’t leave.”

“Like fuck I can’t.”

Leaning against the doorjamb, I smiled at her. God, she was fucking adorable when she was pissed.

“Where’s Dani?” I asked, my eyes trailing to the empty crib.

“Downstairs with Amber.”
