Chapter 21
The next morning, I take my car to get Eliza Jane from Gemma's and Herm takes his bike and heads to the house. As I am leaving Gemma's, Herm calls me. "Hey babe. I'm on my way there." I tell him. "Head to the clubhouse and stay there until I come to get you." he tells me. "What's wrong, Herm?" I asked worried as I head to the clubhouse. "Just do what I said." he says and hangs up. That has me worried because he has never spoken to me like that. He is never that harsh with me but I do as he asked because I know there is a reason.
As I walk into the clubhouse, Phil walks over and takes Eliza's carrier from me and carries it to the couches for me. "Are you okay Savy?" he asked. "I don't know, Phil. Herm called me and said to come here but didn't say why." I tell him. "He called here and had some of the guys head over there. I told them I would stay here with you." he tells me. "Thanks Phil." I tell him before sitting down and taking Eliza out of her carrier to feed her. As soon as she is asleep, I put her in the bassinet that Phil brought out of the room for me. Sitting there, watching the door, it felt like hours before they came in the door. "Maci, can you watch the baby for a few minutes please?" Herm asked Maci and she went straight to Eliza's side. Pulling me into the dorm, he locks the door and starts telling me what was going on. "I need to tell you something but I need you to stay calm." he tells me. "Okay. But babe, you're scaring me." I tell him. "I got to the house, and the front door was standing opened. I cleared the house but when I got inside, every room was trashed except for Eliza's room. There was a note on the dresser that said that they were coming for her. Babe, the note was from one of the croweaters. Carrie." he tells me. "Where is she?" I asked. "We don't know but until we do, you and our daughter are staying here. I packed some things for us and for her until then." he tells me. "Okay. But Herm, please find her. Why is she coming after our baby?" I asked. "She has been trying to push up on me when you aren't here. I keep turning her down and that is one reason I have not been staying here, so she doesn't get the chance to try anything and it hurt what we have." he tells me. "Okay. So, now just to find her." I tell him.
Walking back out to the main room, I see Maci holding Eliza. "She started crying so I picked her up and started rocking her. Hope that's okay." she says. "That's fine. She back to sleep?" I asked. "Yeah, just putting her back now." she says. "You are really good with her. At least she has one Aunt that I like." I tell her and we both laugh. Then it dawns on me. "Maci, can I ask you something?" I asked. "Sure." she responds. "How well do you know Carrie?" I asked. "I know her pretty well, why?" she asked. 'You know, being an Old Lady now, you know where your loyalty lies right?" I asked. "I do. To the club and the other Old Ladies, why?" she asked. I looked at Herm and he nodded his okay to tell her. "Carried broke into our house and trashed the house. All but the baby's room. There was a note saying that she was coming after Eliza. But now no one can find her." I tell her. "Koz, can you get me a pen and paper. I might can help with that." she tells him. Getting the pen and paper, she writes down two addresses and her cell phone number. "Here is her contact info. I don't know if she would be stupid enough to go back to her house but this is the address there. The other address is a house that she said her family owns that is abandoned. The phone number is her cell phone. It isn't a burner so should be able to trace." she tells us and Herm hands the paper to Juice. "Thank you Maci." I tell her. "Hey, you guys are my family now. If there is a way I can help my family, I will do it." she tells me. Now it is just a waiting game until Juice can track her down.
