Prologue

They thought she was just a bystander who had gotten pulled into their mess because her cover had been blown, and her son kidnapped, fuck she had thought that too at first. They were all so fucking wrong, if she had known her past was connected to this, she would have told everyone her shit so much sooner. They didn’t know all the facts, and she was finally ready to tell them, hell she would shout her past from the rooftops if she thought it would make a difference. She just didn’t know how it was all connected, that part was unclear, but once everything was put together, they would all have their answers. Francine ‘Frankie’ Westbrook looked out the window of the huge mansion that served as a home base for their mission. This whole thing had turned into a cluster fuck while the Sisters and the Furies dealing with other shit, and she was not going to wait for a second longer to get her son.

Everyone underestimated her at first, sure she was five foot tall and looked like a damn pixie, but she was fierce, and she had become that way because of shit that had gone down in the past. She didn’t trust anyone which is why she was so guarded and hadn’t shared her information. So far, she had played nice, but she was fucking done, the last straw had been when she called to speak to Shadow and she was told he was busy, really, he was busy? That was fucking bullshit, all she wanted was for him to get into her cloud so she could show Fling and Bus a video that was really fucking important to her explanation about everything, but Shadow was too fucking busy. Well, he could get unfucking busy right quick or was going to ditch this whole thing and go out on her own. She thought about it early on, but she had decided to use the Sisters and Furies connections to get her where she needed to go, that could have been a mistake.

Tibius ‘Bus’ Franklin, one of the Furies, had volunteered for the assignment to rescue her son. He was like a huge teddy bear, but she knew he could be deadly. Standing at six foot four they made an odd-looking couple, in contrast to her dark coloring, Bus was pale as fuck, he had blonde hair and blue eyes, they stood out because of their differences. So far, they had not made a public appearance together, they hadn’t needed to, but they knew the asshole in charge, and his minions were not going to wait for much longer for a meet, The shithead wanted the money they were offering for a list of undercover agents in Europe. That was how they got in with him when they arrived. Dani had gone on the dark web and bid on the list this prick was offering. She didn’t want to think about that right now, they knew who they were dealing with, and she wasn’t going to waste her time thinking about the clusterfuck he caused. This had started twelve years ago, it was just coming to a head now, it was ridiculous.

She had only known Bus for a few weeks, but there was something about him that made her want to know more, hell they had kissed often enough ‘practicing’ she had to admit there were feelings developing there. Many times, she had almost told him what she knew, but she hadn’t, they were discovering things without her, and she knew if they discovered her information before they had left the compound in San Diego, this would be going a lot differently. She felt guilty because she knew Bus and her were getting attached to each other, she only hoped when she told Bus he would understand why she had held shit back. They would never have let her come here, just because of who Zach’s father was, they would have not helped her she was not going to let that happen. She had just said Zach’s father was out of the picture, she omitted a lot of details they should have known. Bus took care of her when she was recovering and kept her informed every step of the way with just basic information about what was going on with her son, because of that she trusted him, which was making this so difficult for her. She wondered why he had jumped in feet first in this assignment, but Frankie hadn’t asked, she had been too grateful for the commitment he made to her about getting her son back. But she knew from the first moment they laid eyes on each other that the attraction they felt was one of the biggest reasons Bus had been all in right from the start. She had also been grateful because Bus had unknowingly been the one to run interference with the Ops Warriors when they asked if he needed help. She snorted out loud, lie they wouldn’t have helped her, she knew some of their dirty little secrets.

She hadn’t wanted to spend a fucking day at the Furies/Satan’s Sisters compound, not because she didn’t want their help, it was for a completely different reason, and she couldn’t tell anyone about it then, but it had everything to do with the situation she now found herself in. She tried to get a hotel at the time, but they shot that down right away because of the situation, she was grateful for all they had done; however, she still had a fucking confidential information no one knew she had, it involved their besties the Ops Warriors. Unfortunately, the clubs were right next to each other, it was something Frankie had not been prepared for. Her information was something that could rip apart the relationship between the clubs, and she never wanted to be responsible for that, this shit had already destroyed lives. Frankie had determined the Furies could make their own decisions; she would just lay it out when the time was right and let the chips fall where they may. No, she just held onto her anger and hid it the best she could. Both clubs lived and died by the philosophy of ‘Family First,’ they took care of their own and damned if one side was lying. They had clearly not wanted to include her or Zach in their family at all, she wasn’t planning to stay with the Furies for long, even though she felt the pull towards Bus, she would deal with those feelings when they came, she had to think about Zach first.

When she discovered how close the OPS Warriors were to the Furies, Frankie had been forced to make a plan for avoiding the assholes, because she didn’t want them to know she was there. Her secret had to do with a man who had once belonged to the OPS Warriors, while they were deployed overseas, Frankie and Bradley ‘Dragon’ Thomas met and instantly connected. It had been a whirlwind romance, and they fell in love quickly. Frankie only found out she was pregnant two months after he died. It had been a shock, but she knew that Brad would have been thrilled, he talked about having a big family when they discussed their future after they got out of the military. They had been so wrapped up in each other that Frankie had met only a few of his buddies, she had never met the whole group. She had tried to call them first, but none of the men wouldn’t even answer her calls to come meet her, every time she called it went straight to voice mail, she had left a million messages, but she had heard nothing. She even tried to approach them before she left her post, only one man had spoken to her because the rest were out on a mission, and he told her that the OPS already knew she was pregnant, and they didn’t want anything to go with her or her son. He told me to get an abortion because she was not going to get any money from them. After he said that, she fucking lost it and left, she didn’t need them. Dragon had talked about him, but he had never said they were such pricks.

They had been stationed in Qatar, it was a rough assignment for both of them, but they had taken as much time as they could to be together. Brad had been sent on a six-month mission undercover to find and capture a leader of insurgents that had been attacking their base with increasing frequency. He had come back to the base frequently to check-in, it was one of those visits that they met, they had decided to keep their relationship a secret because of the mission he was on. If anyone found out that they were together. Frankie had been worried about him, but it was his job, she hadn’t known at the time that Brad and the leader of the OPS Warriors were related, she only found that out afterward, it had to be one of the things Brad said they needed to discuss when he returned. She was one of the last to know about Brad being KIA, and she was devastated. Frankie looked for the after-action report so she could understand what happened, when she read it, Frankie had become so pissed off they sent her home to calm down. She applied for early reassignment within weeks of his death, she could just not be there with the OPS Warriors, they were the ones who had fucked up the mission she had seen it with her own two eyes, they had not paid attention to a lead they received just prior to the mission, she blamed them for Brad’s death, and it was granted due to her finding out she was pregnant. She had called Brad’s parents and let them know about the baby, they were still reeling from the death of their son, and when she shared with them what she knew about the mission he son died on, and then what happened when she tried to talk to the OPS herself, they had been pissed the fuck off, that is when Frankie found out that Creed was Brad’s cousin. She felt like shit at first, she really didn’t want to break up an entire family, but Zach’s grandparents made their own decisions, they had been devastated because of Brad’s death and broke off their contact with their family which included Creed and his parents once they read the letters that Frankie had and Brad’ mom had tried to talk to her sister about shit, but that talk hadn’t gone well. Frankie argued with Zach’s grandparents at first, because although she didn’t want Creed and the OPS Warriors to have anything to do with Zach since they had been assholes to her. She thought Vera could still maintain a relationship with her sister, but no, Vera had a one-track mind, so they had just cut contact and flown to France to be with her while she was pregnant with their grandson. Frankie and they talked, and they tried one more time to contact Creed when his mother died, Vera and Frankie tried to call but no one answered so they decided to write letters and include pictures of Zach in them. They received them all back unopened in a big manila folder with its own letter saying no one at the OPS Warriors compound wanted contact with them, it had hurt Vera and pissed Frankie off, even more, they never tried again. It was their opinion that Creed and the others from the OPS Warriors should have paid attention to their son’s intel, they thought Creed was too arrogant and it would come back and bite him in the ass, unfortunately, Brad had been the one to suffer because of that. There was more, Frankie had been reasonable, shit happens on missions that didn’t get put into the file.

Zach, Brad’s son, had been with Brad’s parents when he was kidnapped. Frankie had retired from the military with full honors and been swept up into the CIA without missing a beat when Zach was three. She was station in Europe, so the Thomas’s established a small homestead in France where they could
