“Can I help you with something?” The man looks shocked to see the group of us as he takes out some ear plugs.

My patience has hit the ceiling as I grab the front of the guy’s shirt and lift him off the ground to my eye level.

“Where the fuck is the plane?”

The man physically swallows.

“Just left the hangar about fifteen minutes or so ago,” he says as his voice gives a slight tremble.

My fingers slip from the material of his top and his feet find the pavement.

“Did you see a woman and boy with the group?” Stone demands, taking a step closer to the guy.

“I… I’m not sure?” he says but it’s more like a question.

“Be sure,” Havoc growls from beside me.

Commotion from across the empty building sounds as tools clank and echo.

“We got something!” Brass calls out.

Havoc drags the man over with us as we all take off towards Brass.

“Tell them,” Brass says and nods towards our approaching group.

“They had a woman and kid with them,” the guy Brass has by the collar of his shirt says.

“What’d they look like?” I ask. Even though I know Remi and Ryder are gone I’m still holding out that they got away or they didn’t leave on that jet.

Brass gives the guy a shake when he pauses.

“I don’t know man, the kid was wearing a baseball uniform and the lady was wearing a matching jersey and shorts,” he tells us.

Numb is the only thing that can describe what I’m feeling. I’m pretty sure I’ve checked out of reality and I’m just waiting for the impending doom to strike me down.

“Where were they headed?” I hear Havoc asking.

The static in my ears is making it hard to hear his response but when I look at Stone’s expression, I know I’ve missed something big.

“Wait, what’d he say?” I ask, shaking the dread from my bones.

Stone steps over to me, placing his large hand on the top of my shoulder.

“Plane was headed to Colombia, brother,” Stone tells me and my knees buckle without warning.

My eyes go wide.

“We’ll get’em back, Reap,” I hear, but I’m not sure who said it.

“I- I just got them,” I say looking around at my surroundings. “We just found each other. I haven’t had the chance…No.” My hands find my long strands of hair at the top of my head and I blow out a deep breath. “That crazy fucker is gonna kill them.”

“We don’t know that, Reaper,” Brass states.

“Don’t we though?” I growl. “He wants a son for a son,” I say looking at the men who have become my family over the last few years. “We killed his only heir and he’s out for revenge. Juan José botched his chance with Sutton but has my son now.”

“We’ll get them back,” Stone proclaims while squeezing my shoulder. “I’ll call in every favor and marker that I have.”

“Sutton might have a better idea of the area from her time over there, if she has a map in front of her,” Havoc offers.
