He stroked a finger beneath her skirt and stared into her eyes. If she showed any signs of fear, or of him not wanting to touch her, he’d step back. He’d give her space. Her cheeks were flushed, and he knew not all of it was because of the baking.
He moved his fingers up, getting close to finally touching precious gold, and just as he was about to make contact, the shop’s phone rang.
Larissa jerked in his arms and immediately pulled away, rushing to the phone, where she picked up and answered it.
“Hello,” she said.
Big Dick watched her.
She frowned. “Hello.”
His senses went on high alert, and Big Dick went over and took the phone from her. The line had deep breathing. He knew exactly who it was. Slamming the phone down, Big Dick started to look around the shop.
“What is it?” she asked.
“You keep doing your job,” he said.
The Twisted Bastards MC were playing them. The deep breathing over the line, just as he was about to touch her. It was too perfect, too magical, and Big Dick began his search.
It had been several months since the shooting, where Cadeon had gotten away. Hunter had admitted to the club that he had a decision to make—save Harlow and Hailey, or take out Cadeon. Big Dick knew that some of the club members would have taken Cadeon out.
He was more than happy that he had chosen his sister. Harlow was a pain in the ass, always had been since fucking birth, but she was a firecracker, a damn good person, and he adored her. He would do anything for her, and he’d been a dick to her when he learned of their secret affair.
With this little interruption, Big Dick knew he had to be careful. Looking up at the vent across from where he’d caught Larissa and pinned her against the wall, he saw the small light that wasn’t easy to detect. Grabbing a stepladder, he pulled it to the vent as Larissa continued to fill the shop. He lifted the vent off with ease, and that told him someone had been in the shop. Most of the vents were screwed down, but this one came off way too easily without any use of tools. He picked up the camera and turned it off.
Cadeon was proving to be better than he expected.
The question was, how the fuck did they get the cameras in the shop? This place had been on watch twenty-four-seven. He had a feeling there were more cameras, but that also meant there were going to be cameras in the club’s other places of business, and he had a feeling they were also going to be in Hailey’s Beauty Parlor.
“What is it?” Larissa asked.
“The war’s back on. That’s what it means,” he said.
He wasn’t going to leave Larissa alone, but he needed to bring Smokey and the club up-to-date with what he knew.

Several Hours Later
After a quick sweep, they had detected cameras in multiple businesses, including Hailey’s Beauty Parlor.
Big Dick sat in his chair and waited for Smokey to speak. All the cameras they had located were on the table, right in front of them. Homes had been searched, including the clubhouse. Individual homes were secure, as was the clubhouse. Cameras were found in their businesses where there was always a short window to get inside. They could be planted and make their escape.
“This is bullshit,” Brick said.
“And fucking cowardly,” Elijah said.
“Pieces of shit. We already knew they were fucking cowards, but this is worse.” This came from Vice.
“And you found nothing on them?” Rocky asked, looking toward him.
“Nothing,” Big Dick said.
They relied on him, he knew this. They all relied on him to be able to find the information he needed, but that was proving to be difficult.
It was pissing him off. He never had this trouble, yet now he couldn’t fucking do this. Why? Harlow had been able to get more shit on the Twisted Bastards MC than him. That wasn’t right.
“Do we call lockdown?” Hunter asked.
“No,” Smokey said. “That will have us all in the same place at exactly the same time. That’s what they want. No, we continue to live our lives, without any of this shit.” He looked toward him. “Big Dick, you’ve got to figure out how to locate them. We’re counting on you. We got lucky last time with Hailey and Larissa. We might not get so lucky again.”
Chapter Four
“What exactly do you want me to do?” Harlow asked.
“I don’t fucking know. Look at them, and you tell me if you’ve got a hunch or a feeling.”
Big Dick looked toward his sister as she looked at the camera in his hand. She took a deep breath and expelled it slowly, pursing her lips as she did so.
“You do realize you sound like a crazy person.”
