“Got it, Sheriff,” the woman confirmed

“Could this be a ransom situation?” I asked Ben

“If this is Fontana, or has anything to do with that motherfucker, then no I doubt this is about money”

Frustrated, I raked h my hair “Who the fuck is Fontana?” I bellowed Lexa had mentioned him earlier but hadn’t told me who the hell he was

“Gian Fontana’s father gave Lexa her scar,” Raven told me, her voice ice-cold “A few years back, Gian’s adoptive father tried to take Lexa and give her to hiht, Santino was the top sex trafficker in the US” She inhaled sharply, her olive-green eyes full of steel when they met mine “We assume Gian inherited all of that as Santino’s adopted son, but he went silent There has been very little noise from his compound, and he’s rarely even been seen”

“Lexa said Monroe told her she’s in love with this guy,” I told her

“She told me that too when she called me,” she confirmed “Apparently, fro Mon for years”

“Protecting her, how?” I de about

She sighed heavily and opened the door “That doesn’tdown the hall toward the front of the café I followed, and she kept talking “I don’t think Fontana is behind taking theun to Monroe And I doubt he would let anyone else do so either”

Outside, Masterson and the other MC brothers quickly gathered around us Dad stayed to the back of the group, but heme with a look that he was there if I needed him

“I think we’re dealing with one of Fontana’s ene Masterson to curse viciously “If that’s the case, they are going to go as far north as they can to stay out of his territory”

“Yeah, but they could head east too,” Ben spoke up “If we’re going to go after the up”

“I’ north,” Masterson said

Bash split the MC brothers into two groups, but when Masterson got on his motorcycle and took off before anyone else had even moved, I juot in before I was peeling out of the parking lot after him

“Cal to be any use to that girl if you kill yourself on the drive to get to her”
