Ride With Me (Paige and Jace) novel Chapter 281

CHAPTER 159-2

“Good.” I said and Patge appeared at the clubhouse eritrance.

“What happened?” She asked as I looked at her.

“Derek found something at the community hall.” I said and her face went pale.

“What kind of something?” She asked.

“I don’t know yet.” I said and she grabbed my arm.

“Jace.” She said.

“I need you to stay here.” I said.

“I know.” She said.

She nodded, although I could see how badly she wanted to come with me.

“Bring everyone home.” She said.

“I will.” I said.

I rode toward the community hall with two members following behind me, and the entire trip felt like a

countdown.

When we arrived, police vehicles were already approaching and Derek stood behind the perimeter with Mason, and his expression told me this wasn’t a false alarm. So I pulled my bike to a stop.

“What is it?” I asked.

“Vehicle outside the hall.” Mason said.

“Anyone inside?” I asked.

“No.” He said.

“Did anyone approach it?” I asked.

“No.” He said and I nodded.

“Good.” I said.

Nobody had been hurt. That was what mattered and Derek walked over.

“They were serious.” Derek said as I looked at him.

“They wanted us to know they could reach the families.” I said as Mason shook his head.

“They could have killed people.” Mason said.

“They didn’t.” I said.

“But they tried.” He said.

I couldn’t argue with that.

We returned to the clubhouse, and the moment I walked through the doors, Paige came toward me.

She didn’t ask for details. She simply wrapped her arms around me and I held her tightly.

For several seconds, neither of us spoke.

Her heart was beating rapidly against my chest, and I could feel the same fear I had been carrying all morning reflected in her embrace.

“They’re safe.” I whispered and she nodded against me.

“I know.” She said.

“We got there in time.” I said.

“I know.” She said as she pulled back and looked at me.

“I was so scared.” She admitted.

“So was I.” I said.
