The sergeant at arms gave him a chin lift and his lips tilted upward.
That particular smirk would make most men shit their pants.
But it wasn’t Ogre the bound asshole had to worry about.
Stone really didn’t want to let his daughter out of his sight, but he needed to get to the garage. He had three important roles to step into.
Judge, jury, and executioner.
If he stayed with her and let his brothers handle it, he wouldn’t be any good to Sunny, anyway. He’d be distracted and restless until he knew Gentry had taken his last goddamn breath.
As soon as he pulled into the driveway, the rear screen door was shoved open so hard it slammed against the house’s siding. Taryn raced down the deck steps, through the gate, and over to his sled.
Questions filled her face and concern was visible in her eyes, but he didn’t have time to explain shit. He needed to get shit done so he could return as quickly as possible to help Sunny deal with the aftermath of her goddamn kidnapping.
He helped his kid off his Harley. “You good?”
“Dad, who was he and why did he do that?”
It killed him that her voice still trembled. Hearing that along with seeing her face ravaged from all the crying raised his rage to epic fucking levels. He forced himself to swallow it back down. He’d save it for Vic the Dick. “Gonna talk about it later, yeah? Go with Taryn for now. She’s gonna take care of you ’til I get back.”
“I don’t want you to go!” she cried out, snapping his black fucking heart in two.
“I know, baby girl.” When he held out his hand to her, she took it and he pulled her closer, pressing a kiss to her forehead while murmuring. “Promise to be back soon.”
He lifted his gaze over her head to Taryn, waiting just a few feet away, wringing her hands and looking anxious. After he gave her a stiff chin lift, she rushed over, gathered Sunny in her arms and held her tight while rocking her back and forth. “I’ve got you, baby.” He didn’t miss that her eyes held a sheen and her voice was thick when she assured him, “I have her.”
He gave her a single nod. “Gotta go take care of fuckin’ business.” He reached over and tucked his finger beneath Sunny’s trembling chin and lifted it. “Be back soon. You listen to Taryn, you hear?”
Sunny, her red eyes and nose swollen and running, nodded. Her voice cracked when she said, “Okay, Dad.”
Thank fuck she wasn’t being her normal obstinate self today. She didn’t even pull away from Taryn. Instead, she snuggled closer.
Damn.
The anger he had directed at Taryn earlier was now focused on the man waiting for him at the chop shop.
Seconds later, he was racing off. His fingers itched as he twisted the throttle. His fury rose even higher with every rotation of his sled’s wheels.
One thing was on his mind…
The asshole who beat the fuck out of Taryn.
The asshole who gave his own son nightmares by beating his son’s mother in front of him.
The asshole who fucking dared to touch Stone’s daughter.
He arrived at the Kings’ garage hidden in the woods in record time. No surprise that Ogre’s sled with an empty side car was parked out front next to several other bikes.
As soon as he cut his sled’s engine, he was off it and heading inside.
What he saw waiting for him made him proud of his brothers. They kept the fucker alive just for him. He wanted the opportunity to have a few words with Asshole before the man closed his eyes for the very last time.
In one of the garage bays, his daughter’s kidnapper hung suspended by his arms, using the chain from a ceiling-mounted engine hoist.
Wasn’t that a beautiful fucking sight?
He gave a chin lift to Ransom and one to Ogre as he strode toward where Gentry hung like a side of spoiled beef. Thor sat by the sergeant at arms’ side, his eyes not shifting once from their guest of honor.
They might not have knocked the fucker out, but they certainly knocked him around.
In fact, the man was hard to recognize. His pants were torn in several places, exposing ugly-looking canine bites.
Good boy, Thor.
When Stone stopped in front of Gentry, he lifted one corner of the duct tape covering the motherfucker’s mouth and held it in one hand while spinning the man with the other.
“Fuck!” Gentry yelled when the tape was ripped free.
“You think that hurts? Just wait.”
Once Stone had him spun completely around to face him again, Gentry snarled, “You took my kid so I took yours. That’s only fair, right?”
Every muscle on Stone locked solid. “Ain’t no fair when it comes to love and war.”
“Damn right! You told me to stay away from my wife and kid. Your stupid ass never mentioned your own.”
