« Prev  Chapter  Next »



Razer brushed his thumb against her cheek. “You are all right sweetheart, the ambulance is on the way.”

“How did you find me?”

“Loker was watching Bedford and when he saw Sam come in with you, he called us.”

“I had to, he threatened to kill my baby. He gave me no choice.” Sam hung pitifully in Cash’s arms, all the fight drained out of her. “He paid someone to take my baby. I don’t even know if my baby was a boy or girl, he took the baby while I was unconscious after the delivery. He won’t tell me where my child is or with whom.” The whole room went quiet, listening to Sam’s heart wrenching cries. “It was Gavin’s child.”

“You lying bitch,” Loker yelled.

The sounds of the siren approaching made Beth’s head ache. She tried to move her head and the movement had stars bursting through her skull. The last thing she remembered was Loker’s hand around Sam’s throat.

“Razer,” she whispered as darkness overwhelmed the pain.

Chapter 15

The beeping of a machine woke her. Turning her head she saw a nurse punching buttons on a machine.

“Awake at last. We were starting to get worried about you. I will call the doctor and he will be in to talk to you.” Giving her hand an impersonal pat, the uniformed nurse left.

Beth looked around the small room. Hoping no one had called Lily; she did not want to worry her. The door opened and a tall man with bright red hair came in.

His friendly eyes soothed Beth’s frayed nerves. “I am glad to see that you have regained consciousness. How are you feeling?”

“Confused.”

“That’s normal. Do you remember what happened?”

Beth started to nod, but the sharp pain rushing through her skull stopped the motion.

“I remember Sam kidnapped me and her father threatened to kill me.”

“They almost succeeded, you have a severe concussion. You have been unconscious for 12 hours.”

“Did anyone notify my sister?”

“No, the Sheriff accepted responsibility. If you had stayed unconscious much longer, then he would have. The Sheriff said you wouldn’t want to worry her.”

Beth gave a sigh of relief. “Thank you, my sister would have been terrified, I am glad you took the Sheriff’s advice.”

The Doctor gave her reassurances that she would heal quickly and he would release her in forty-eight hours.

“We want to keep a strict eye on you to make sure you are all clear before we release you.”

“Thank you.” The doctor left, giving her instructions to let the nurse know if she experienced any changes in pain. Sleep beckoned, Beth dozed on and off throughout the day, only waking intermittedly with the arrival of the dinner tray.

Beth managed to eat a small amount. hoping it would help the sick feeling in her stomach. She was already back asleep when the nurse returned to retrieve the tray.

The next day Beth felt much clearer, she was stronger, getting out of bed with an aide’s help, even taking a shower and shampooing her hair. She had a clean gown on and was drying her hair with a towel while sitting in the chair by the window overlooking the parking lot. She had hoped Razer or Evie would have come to visit her, at least letting her know what had happened after she had passed out. But no one came and it was late afternoon before the Sheriff finally came to her room.

“Hello Sheriff,” Beth greeted him when he didn’t see her sitting in the bed.

His concerned frown disappeared and a relieved smile replaced it.

“So you’re up and about already?”

“At least as far as this chair, I am still a little dizzy if I move too fast, but it’s getting better.”

“Good.” The sheriff came to stand beside her looking out the window.

“Want to tell me what happened yesterday?” Beth told him about looking through the boxes and ended with where she had hidden the incriminating papers.

“Did Razer find the papers?”

“Yes. He found them when he went back to his room. Sam told him what you had found and what they were. She told everything she knew trying to cut a deal for herself. Bedford kept telling her to shut up.”

“He was going to kill me. Is he in jail?”

“No, he’s in the hospital also. Pretty bad shape, but he’ll live and stand trial for murder and your kidnapping.”

“So it’s true he took Sam’s baby?”

“Looks like it. We have to wait for the evidence to come back to know without a doubt.”

“Poor Samantha.”

The Sheriff looked at her in amazement. “Poor Samantha, she kidnapped you, pistol whipped you, and was going to let her father kill you and you feel sorry for her?”

“Yes, you protect family. Always.”

The sheriff shook his head at the woman sitting before him. He had never met another person like her. Her soul was filled with the concern for others more than herself. She had always been like that, even as a younger girl. There was no one, male or female, that he respected more than her.

“At least I don’t have to worry about someone trying to kill me now that mystery is solved.”

The sheriff hesitated, “Yes, it’s over. You can go back to your normal life.”

A thought struck her, which would explain why Razer hadn’t been to visit her. “Did Razer get in trouble for hurting Mr. Bedford? He was only trying to protect me… it was actually Loker James who beat him so badly.”

The Sheriff held up his hand, stopping her explanation. “I didn’t arrest him or James either. The way I wrote it down was self-defense. Cash backed his story up.”

“Oh… well that’s a relief.” Beth bit her lip.

“The doctor said you will be released tomorrow. My wife plans to come by and help you out until you feel better.”

“No, I will be fine…”

“You know Rachel won’t take no for an answer, so no use in arguing. I brought your car to you, it’s in the lot.” Taking the keys out of his pocket, he handed them to her. “Rachel said to tell you she’d give you a few hours peace b

efore she came.”

“Thanks Sheriff, I appreciate all your help.”

“Anytime Beth.” The sheriff stayed until the nurse came in to take her vitals, but Beth barely paid attention to the nurse’s questions. She had been stunned when the Sheriff had handed her the keys to her car. It had been parked at the clubhouse. Razer would have to have given him the keys. Yet, he had sent no messages, nor had Evie. Beth tried hard not to be hurt, but could not help feeling ignored by the people she had come to care about.

Chapter 16

Beth was released the next day after the doctor had given her a final exam. Feeling much better, Beth signed her release papers. Once outside, she had no trouble locating her car. Beth came to a decision as she drove home. She was going to find out why no one had come by the hospital to check on her or even call.

All the way there, Beth tried to talk herself out of her decision. A feeling of foreboding came over her, reminding her that she should go home, but for once she didn’t listen to the reasonable voice in her head saying to give it a couple of days. When she pulled up to the house, the yard and porch were filled with bikers none of them she recognized. As she walked to the front door, she was given many curious looks, but no one said anything to her. Walking into the house she saw Razer immediately, Bliss was sitting on his lap with a black pair of leather shorts and a black vest completely open baring her breasts. Razer was sitting and playing with her nipple.

Once upon a time Beth would have turned and ran away, unable to face the pain of jealousy seeing him with another woman would evoke. Evie who was sitting on Cash’s lap was the first to see her and her mouth dropped open, before a carefully closed expression came over her face.

Razer turned to see what had startled Evie and also saw Beth. He didn’t remove his hand, but the smile he had disappeared in a flash.

Beth felt her legs carrying her across the room to stand before him.

“Hi Razer, Evie. I thought I would stop by and see if everyone was alright. I had hoped you would come by the hospital and see me.” Beth’s voice was hesitant as she deliberately kept her eyes on Razer’s face as his hands stroked Bliss’s breasts.
