Maverick by Ashers, LeAnn (read dune TXT) 📕

honey.” I hand him my phone and sit him in the chair behind me, hoping to distract him.

“Let’s move this to another room away from the boy,” one of the officers suggests, and I immediately nod, taking Maverick’s hand, nervous about what is happening.

We walk into a conference room next door. “Arrest them! They took my baby!” Ronny’s mom screeches, and I want to throttle her for being so crazy.

“Look. We have the papers giving your consent to take your son,” Maverick tells her.

One of the officers closest to us asks, “Are you a member of the Grim Sinners MC?”

“I’m one of the originals.”

“Ma’am, no crime was committed here. Please don’t call to report false information.”

They leave and she has a complete meltdown. She falls to the floor screaming at the top of her lungs, causing people to stare.

She has lost it.

I shake my head in disbelief over this woman.

“Hey Ronny, are you okay?” I step inside of the room where I left him, but he’s not there.

“Ronny, are you behind the desk?” I ask softly in case he’s scared and hiding. Then Ronny’s mom walks up behind me, cackling. “I fucking knew distracting y’all would work. The only reason I wasn’t allowed to leave was because of him. Now he’s not a problem.” She grins happily, carrying a small bag and giggling to herself.

My heart falls to the floor. I’m in utter shock; I stop breathing.

Someone has taken him.

7 Bell

She walks out of the door, and I snap into action, chasing her. She’s the only way we can find him.

I grab her by her arm, holding on as tight as I can so she doesn’t get away.

She whips around to face me. “Get away from me, bitch!” She pulls back as hard as she can to try to push me off.

I ignore her and grip tighter. If she’s gone, so is he.

“Please let’s talk about this. You don’t have to do this. I’ll take him, you won’t have to see him again,” I plead with her, and she snatches her arm away.

She starts to run away, and without hesitation I grip her by her hair, wrenching her back as hard as I can.

Maverick comes running outside. He takes in the scene and grips her arm and I let go.

With tears in my eyes, I look at Maverick. “Someone has taken him. Ronny is missing and she gloated that she got someone to take him,” I explain.

He cusses, takes out his phone and starts calling people. All the while, she is screaming at the top of her lungs like we’re killing her.

I feel like hurting her. How can she do this to him?

“Please shut up, we are not going to hurt you. I just want to know where Ronny is,” I tell her as nicely as I can, taking every bit of my effort.

She rolls her eyes at me. “I don’t understand you people. Why the fuck are you doing all of this shit for him? He has a new home now.” She gloats at the last part.

Before I can stop myself, I punch her as hard as I can in the face. Her head snaps back in shock. Maverick almost drops his phone, his eyes wide.

Maverick laughs loudly. “Shit, Bell, that was hot.”

My face flushes with embarrassment. I am just so angry with her. “He is such a great kid. Why are you so horrible to him?” I ask her, hurt that she has done this to him. All he wanted was for her to love him.

She looks at me in shock that I dared to hit her. Then she charges me and Maverick snatches her back before she can touch me. “Back the fuck up. Touch her and every ounce of niceness I have is out the window,” he hisses in her face. She shuts her mouth and I don’t blame her.

I step closer to her. “Please tell me where that sweet baby is. You won’t have to see him again. Just don’t do this to him—what if someone did this to you?” I plead with her.

My heart is hurting so bad to think where he is, what could be happening to him.

He was so happy getting all of his stuff for hockey. He got to eat in a restaurant for the first time today.

She clenches her mouth closed as hard as she can. I press my forehead into Maverick’s shoulder, trying not to fall apart.

He gets off the phone, putting it in his pocket. “You okay, honey?” he asks.

I shake my head no, being honest. “You are so fucking lucky you are a woman, bitch. If that boy is hurt, you will experience that shit ten-fold.”

She laughs. “Yeah? By who?”

Just as she says that, three SUVs pull up. A woman with beautiful blonde hair gets out first, followed by a bunch of women I have never met before. They’re then joined by Lani and Chrystal.

The blonde nods at us and turns her grin to Ronny’s mom. “By me, bitch. My name is Shaylin, but you get to call me your worst nightmare.”

“The name’s Kayla, VP ole lady.” She winks at me, before taking her place next to Shaylin.

“Alisha.” Techy’s ole lady—she’s carrying a bat.

One laughs hysterically. “I’m Jean, I’m not as crazy as Shaylin. You’re so fucked, wait until the rest of the Grim Sinners gals get here. It’s going to be a party,” she giggles.

Another SUV pulls up. The door pops open along and a shit ton of bikers pull up behind. I notice they’re wearing two different cuts.

Backup is here.

Shaylin walks up and takes Ronny’s mom from us. “I’ll get the shit you need.” They take her and push her into one of the SUVs, as she screams the whole entire way.

I grip Maverick’s hand tightly, watching them take her down the road to the clubhouse.

Everyone gets on their bikes and drives down to the clubhouse. I’m shaking so hard in fear of what could be happening to him.

What if he’s scared?

I know
