“Do you have any surveillance cameras that face the street?”

“Um…we have one that records the parking lot. You can see a little bit of the street on that one.”

“Can I take a look at it?”

“I don’t know how any of that works,” she responded.

“Can you call your boss?”

“O-o-okay.”

I watched as she picked up the phone. “Hi, Tom. Sorry to bother you at home. I have someone here who wants to look at some surveillance footage. Can we even do that?” She looked up from the phone to me. “He wants to know who’s asking.”

“Here, give me the phone,” I demanded, holding out my hand.

“Tom? The name’s Mac. I need to take a look at that footage. The Desert Sinners would be grateful if you could help us out.”

Mentioning the club got his cooperation a lot quicker than explaining the whole situation to him. He gave me a quick rundown of how to get the footage I needed. Just as I was about to go into the back room, Colt and Viper came in.

“Find anything?” Viper asked.

“They have a camera that picks up the street. Gonna check it out.”

The three of us sat in the back room messing around with the equipment until we narrowed it down to the time Kate would have left Viking and Meredith’s place.

“Fuck!” I yelled when I saw her car fly by on the screen. Just a moment later, I could see a white pickup truck follow her. It had to be Jonathan. His mom said he’d just bought a new truck.

I rewound the tape and watched again. We couldn’t pick up a license plate number, but at least we had something to go on.

We walked out of the store, saying a quick thank-you to the cashier. When we got outside, I saw Viking jogging toward us.

“I just got off the phone with Wolf. He was able to get ahold of Jonathan’s mom, and she was a little more forthcoming with some information. I’ve got an address to a place Jonathan rented for a couple of days.”

“What the fuck are we waiting on? Let’s go!”

Viking reached out and pulled me back.

“I need you to get your shit together. I can’t have you going in there with guns blazing. My daughter’s in there, and I want her safe.”

We all nodded in agreement. Even if we knew where she was, we had to play this smart. We had no idea what Jonathan’s intentions were, and I wasn’t going to risk Kate’s safety. One thing was for sure. Tonight, someone was going to die. And it wasn’t going to be Kate or any Desert Sinners.
