more like me than herself.
                  Adrian looked to Ross and me too. “Did we get em’?”
                  Ross answered with a head shake. “Tawn y Adria n we um...we had to let them go, guys. We had no choice," she soothed when Doc’s sobs, and her ability to breathe, became harder. "Sweetie, we had no choice . They would have killed them before we could blink. They told Chance they'd be in touch.”
                  My phone rang in my pocket, and thinking it would be Tink, I answered it. “Chance” Kristen sighed. “Put Doc on the phone.” I held it out to her but Ross just took it and put it on speaker. “Talk to me Doc..."
                  "Kristen, he's gone ," Doc sobbed, her control slipping a little more. "They took him and his friend, Cedrick, and they're gone!"
                  She hissed a string of curses, but took a deep breath. "Where's our team looking on this, Tawn?"
                  "Chance and everyone chased them, but...they couldn't...they didn't..." She heaved a deep breath trying to get herself under control.
                  Adrian growled. "It's my fault. Fuck! I didn't check ...I just took them in..."
                  "Calm down for me, Tawny," she soothed on the other end, and I could hear the murmurs and coos from Makenna on the other end. It made me sad, Doc and Ross didn’t have their child anymore, because I let them go.
                  A sound of pure anguish met my ears, and everyone else’s, and I looked across the lot to see a woman being held up by one of Cam's men.
                  Tawny grimaced, understanding her pain. "Mrs. Moretti," she told Cam. "Cedrick’s mother."
                  He nodded, rubbing Doc’s hands. "I wouldn't mention a thing about what you know around her. Best let her think that you're in the same boat she is. It could get ugly if she thinks your work brought this on her child."
                  I nodded in agreement, and even Ross muttered to her, "That's not a bad idea, baby."
                  Adrian’s head shot up when Jackson’s car  up in front of us. Adrian stood up to meet them and almost fell back over. I grabbed his arm steadying him. “Easy.”
                  I continued my walk to meet them but Doc grabbed my shirt. "What do we do?" She ranted, gripping my arm . "We have to get him back, Chance.”
                  Adrian cut in. “I didn't know someone was in there. I'm sorry..."
                  She locked eyes with his. "I need my baby bac k I can' t breath e without him."
                  "We. Will. Fucking. Get. Him. Back," he swore, “There is no way we’re going to le t ”
                  He was cut off when my phone rang, I answered it quickly. "Hello..."
                  There was silence on the other end, then a frantic "I want to go home!"
                  " Juan ," I breathed, my heart stopping, because my godson sounded scared as shit.
                  Ross snatched the phone from me, turning the speakerphone on. "Alyssa Giselle Marshall...or Neil …if you prefer…," a voice on the other end started. It was neither male nor female. In fact, it sounded distorted, the pitch alternating between high and low like a malfunctioning robot. "Do I have your attention?"
                  "Yes," I breathed. "Who is this?"
                  "Oh, I'm sure you’ll figure it out," The fragmented voice chuckled.
                  The seven members of my crew that were there circled around my phone, staring at it like it was the Holy Grail or some shit.
                  Cam came next to me his face grim as he spoke low into his headset. "Margaux...trap and trace on Alyssa's phone."
                  "You won't catch me," the
