kill.”
     
    “ Ok.”
     
    And with that, we began our search for the rest of the MC. I found Stacie and Theresa huddled together in a corner of the east side of the room.
     
    “ Are you guys ok?” I whispered to them.
     
    “ Yeah, we’re ok. We knew that Animal was going to blow the place up so we took cover.”
     
    “ How did you know? And why didn’t you tell me?” I asked in a shocked voice.
     
    “ It’s not the first time something like this has happened. The guys created signals. That was what Animal signaled to Shadow right before it happened.”
     
    “ Well, I’m glad you guys are ok but I can’t walk. Animal went to check on Shadow and to find the others. I’ll need help getting out of here and searching for the rest of the MC.”
     
    Theresa and Stacie helped me up as I draped an arm around each of their necks. We began searching for the others. Skull was knocked out cold, lying just outside of the room that the explosion happened in. He had severe head trauma but when he finally came to, we helped him get out of the building and away from all of the smoke.
     
    While we waited outside for Animal, Shadow and Doom, I couldn’t help but worry. Fear and panic began to set in as tears welled up in my eyes. I began to sit in an Indian position, drawing my knees to my chest as I started to rock myself.
     
    “ Hey, it’s ok.” Skull said to me in a reassuring voice. “Everyone’s ok. You don’t have to cry.”
     
    I wiped my tear-stained face. “But what if Shadow is really hurt? He sounded like he was in so much pain and, and….”
     
    “ Hey,” he grabbed my chin to hold my head up so he could look me in the eyes, “this isn’t the first time shit’s hit the fan. Your old man is going to be just fine. Trust me on this one.”
     
    My old man. So I wasn’t the only one who thought we were a couple. While I was afraid for Derek’s life, those words made me smile for just a second. We were a couple.
     
    “ See, I told you everything would be ok. I even got you to smile.”
     
    “ For just a second” I said as my thoughts returned to how bad Derek had been hurt. “What’s taking them so long?”
     
    “ They’ll be out soon. If they’re not out in the next couple of minutes, I’ll go back in to look for them and make sure they’re ok. You gotta remember that it’s dark in there and there’s a lot of smoke and debris all over.”
     
    “ I know. Please don’t let anything happen to him.” I begged as tears continued to roll down my cheeks.

 
    Chapter Eight
    Waiting to Find Out

 
    Maybe it was because I was pregnant, but my mothering instinct was getting the best of me. Shadow was still inside with Animal, trying to find Doom and the rest of the MC. I had no clue what would take them so long but with each passing second, my heart raced even faster.
     
    Within minutes, Animal and Doom were carrying Shadow out on a makeshift stretcher. His clothes were covered in blood; at least, the parts that were still intact. Most of his jeans and t-shirt had been shredded right off of him. He had some serious flesh wounds. Stacie and Theresa helped me hobble over to him as soon as he was far enough away from the building.
     
    “ Shadow!?” I cried. I was happy to see that he was still alive but I was gravely concerned about his injuries. They looked pretty serious.
     
    “ Hey baby doll” he said with a half-cocked smile on his face. He was trying to hide his pain and minimize his injuries.
     
    “ I was so worried about you” I sobbed as I leaned over the best I could to try to hug him.
     
    “ I’ll be ok. You look like you’re pretty banged up, too” he said with a look of concern in his eyes.
     
    “ I’m not as bad as you. I’m so glad that you’re still alive.” I burst into uncontrollable tears.
     
    “ Hey, hey. Don’t cry. We’re going to get ourselves taken care of. The guys will call for backup and we’ll be out of here in no time.”
     
    I looked
