“Thanks.”
Grabbing my water, I adjust my wig and walk to the corner of the room where he can’t see me.
And I wait.
I warned the bastard. By the time I’m done, he’s going to wish he’d never met me.
Enjoy your night while you can, doctor. We’re about to play a game.

“Can you track a cell?” I ask into my phone.
“I’m insulted,” Knox says. “Send me the number.”
Pulling the phone from my ear I forward the information and hit speaker.
“Where’s the nearest bar?” I ask King. “She said someone tried to give her a spiked drink.”
“The Cage is the closest club,” Knox says absently through the phone. “But there’s no way in hell Ghost’s men would miss someone spiking a drink.”
“Then there’s the twin's private kink club,” King reminds us.
“Again, I don’t think one of the staff would miss someone spiking a drink,” Knox says. “Plus, every single person is vetted before becoming a member.”
“So much for her being better off with you,”Xander smirks.“Sounds like she needs you just as much as you need her.”
“Shut the fuck up, Xander,”I growl.
“Alright, her last ping was at Borough’s Bar until she turned her phone off,” Knox tells me.
“That’s the one near the hospital,” King says. “It’s going to take us twenty minutes to get there.”
“Are you sure you should be going after her, son?” Pops asks from Knox’s side of the call. “Maybe she just needs some time to herself. Maybe she’s on a date.”
“I can’t explain it, Pops,” I tell him. “Something is telling me that I need to go to her.”
Pop’s sighs, but I know he understands.
“Never ignore your gut,” he says. That’s something he’s told us boys our whole lives.
Never in my life have I had such a strong feeling inside. I need to get to her. I need to make sure she’s safe.
Chapter Eleven

My plan is going perfectly. I knew the doctor would come to this bar sooner or later. After watching him for weeks, he often spent a few hours at this bar after getting off shit at the hospital.
It took everything in me not to just shoot the bastard the first time I saw him. But no. I made him a promise. Him and that freaking guard.
I will kill them both.
I haven’t had any leads on the guard who took pleasure in my torment. I know that the man in charge, Malachi, managed to escape and I can’t help but wonder if his little boy toy was with him.
Shaking my head, I focus back on the task at hand. Once I leave the bar, it doesn’t take long for me to spot the doctor’s car. With a smile of pure satisfaction at what’s to come, I climb into the back seat and hunker down.
A big part of me wants to leave and go back home. But I just can’t. Even if I turn the doctor into the police, the worst thing that will happen to him is jail time.
