With a chilling laugh, Wizard rolled up the window, wanting Marco to hear every word.

“Oh, I think I do, or you wouldn’t be answering Natalia’s phone. Stop wasting my time. Where do you want to meet?”

“I’m not ready to give Natalia back. Maybe tomorrow …”

The call disconnected before Wizard could say anything else.

Rage poured through him like boiling lava. The three brothers knew him well enough not to say a word for the rest of the drive to Oasis’ place.

Jesus pulled into the parking lot and drove around to the back, parking near a rear entrance.

Puck jumped out and went inside. Wizard remained in the SUV, waiting for him to return and willing himself not to strangle the bitch beside him until she gave him the information he wanted.

Puck was back within five minutes and opened Wizard’s door. After climbing out, Wizard let Doom and Puck deal with Lucia while he and Jesus entered the restricted section of Oasis’ gym. Oasis would have ensured all her employees were occupied elsewhere while they got Lucia situated in the private area reserved for The Last Riders.

Wizard strode across the massive gym, which was divided into several rooms, until he reached the one he wanted.

“Sit her ass down,” Wizard ordered. “Doom, you and Jesus get the code for her phone. I’ll be back.”

Doom nodded and placed Lucia in the chair Wizard had indicated.

Confident Doom would keep her secure and get the code he needed to unlock her phone, Wizard left the room and shut the door behind him before making a call.

Shade answered on the first ring. “What do you need?”

His cold voice steadied the rage coursing through Wizard. He needed to keep it contained until he retrieved Natalia. Then he could release it on the motherfucker who had dared to touch what was his.

“My woman’s been taken. I need to find the fucker who kidnapped her and where he’s hiding her.”

“Give me a name to work with.”

“I’ll send you all the information I can get. I took his woman, so he took Natalia in retaliation. I suggested a meet, but so far, he’s putting me off.”

“Send me the information. Viper, Rider, Reaper, and Knox are heading your way after they received the emergency text. Train is flying them in. ETA is one hour and fifteen minutes.”

“Thanks, Shade.”

“Keep me posted if anything new comes up.”

The call ended.

Turning, Wizard went back into the room. Standing by the door, he motioned Doom over. “Send Shade all the information on Marco and Lucia you can find. Call Tink to see what else she knows then send her to Natalia’s office to find his personnel file.”

“Okay.”

Leaving Doom, Wizard sauntered over to Lucia. Bending down, he ripped the tape from her mouth. “Where would Marco have taken Natalia?” he asked quietly.

Holding a hand over her mouth, Lucia spat furiously at him, “Fuck off!”

“Give me the tape.” Wizard held his hand out to Jesus. Tearing off two wide strips, he gave her a cruel smile when he saw Lucia was still protecting her mouth with one hand. “If you think it hurt when I ripped the tape off your mouth, wait until you find out how it feels when I tape your eyes shut.”

“Go ahead!” Lucia screamed. “Marco will make you pay for anything you do to me!”

“Really?” he scoffed. “Marco didn’t seem too concerned about getting you back anytime soon.”

Her lips snapped shut.

“He’s buying time, isn’t he?” Wizard surmised. “What for? Is he waiting for me to panic and call him back, or does he have to wait for someone to tell him what to do?”
