central or whatever you call it. It has a bunch of computers where he does his shit. The Army honed his computer skills. Bet they didn’t think he would be using them to hack.
    Buzz sits at the bank of monitors, his face set in concentration. “I know you’re there, Breaker. What do ya need?” he asks as I stride in.
    Since Buzz and I were kids, we’ve been able to read each other and have our own ways of communicating. Some say it’s a twin thing. I say it’s a brother thing, but whatever.
    “Find him?” I ask, sitting down in the lone chair next to Buzz as he types away, entering some kind of code into one of the black screens.
    “Fuck, he’s underground. I’ve pulled all the damn feeds from the street cameras around his place and the bar. I got nothing. If I had to guess, he cut them off while he was on the move. I don’t know how he knows that I’m on to him, but he does.”
    My mind races. “You think we have bugs?” My gut tightens at the thought. It’s a strong possibility, especially if he cut out right when Buzz solved the puzzle.
    “I think we should do a sweep.” He keeps typing. “I think Joey’s computer may have had something built into it that alerted him when I broke in to a certain point. I don’t know for sure, because there’s so much fucking code and shit, but I’ll look.”
    “Where’s Bella?” I ask, and my brother’s head snaps to me at the mere mention of the woman’s name. Damn, he has it bad, but I’ve known that since he met her.
    Buzz has always been the type of man to know exactly what he wants the moment he sees it. It’s only a matter of time before he claims Bella. Hell, the only reason he hasn’t is because of all the shit we’ve been dealing with at Ravage. As soon as this is settled, I know Bella will be his.
    I’ve never gone after what I want, because I don’t get it.
    “She’s up with the ol’ ladies. Did you see her in the clubhouse?”
    I shake my head.
    “Fuck,” he growls. “I’m fucking putting a tracking device on her.”
    I chuckle, having no doubt he would do it. Fuck, he may even go as far as to insert it into her skin. I can’t blame him, though. Bella is the thing guys’ wet dreams are made of. All that dark hair and those curves … Fuck. But I don’t feel the same way that Buzz does about her. Sure, I care about her, and I’ll protect her with my life because she’s my brother’s girl and I actually like her, but there isn’t that connection like lovers.
    Now friends is a totally different story. I’ve never really had many of those, keeping to myself most of the time. Sure, I had my team in the Army, but I don’t talk to them anymore. Seeing each other would only serve as a reminder of what went on in that grainy desert. While we depended on each other out there as bullets flew at our heads, none of us want to relive it.
    It’s why I was so damn apprehensive about becoming a part of the Ravage MC. Yet, somehow, both my brother and I just fit here. I look back now and think, What the fuck was my problem? But when you grow up with only your brother as a friend, it’s hard to let others in.
    “I’ll find her. Then I’ll talk to Pops about a sweep.”
    Buzz goes back to the computers. “Make sure she’s alright. I scared the shit out of her, calling her like that.”
    “You know you’re going to get your ass kicked for that, right?” And there is no way I can save him from that. None. Considering Bella isn’t even his ol’ lady, it makes this shit worse. A brother tells the club first. Always. He does not call up his girlfriend and have her here before letting the guys know what’s going on.
    “I know. I’ll take it,” he replies, not missing a click on the computer.
    I say nothing, only leave and search for Bella.
    I find her in the basement, curled up on the couch with Fight Club playing low as she stares at the screen. This is her norm. When she stayed with us while we were on lockdown because of that ass Jace,
