It was thirty minutes to her work. If she was truly simply going to seize a software, she ought to’ve been again inside ninety minutes. There’s no method it might’ve taken longer than that.

“Be extra particular, you piece of shit!” I bellowed. “How lengthy?”

He flinched, ducking his head after I shouted in his ear. “Fuck, man! I don’t know! After lunch? I used to be busy washing the dishes! I didn’t search for a clock!”

“Why not name Gabe?” Gunner murmured. After I swung to have a look at him, he grimaced. “He went together with her. Did not need her to go by herself.”

Reaper was already dialing the cellphone by the point he completed his sentence. He waited for a minute earlier than Gabe answered.

“The place is she?”

I didn’t hear Gabe’s reply, however Reaper’s face darkened. “How lengthy has it been because you’ve seen her?” He paused, listening once more, earlier than snarling, “We’re on our method. Don’t fucking transfer.”

When he hung up, he locked eyes with me. “She snuck off after they obtained to her work. He’s been searching for her, however he stated she disappeared.”

My abdomen dropped. She ran off. Within the fucking metropolis. The place Hammer was in all probability hiding. Of all of the silly, reckless shit she may’ve completed…

* * *

Assembly up with Gabe did completely no good. Her truck was nonetheless at her work. We had no clue which method she went or the place she was headed. I checked her condo, discovered her cellphone smashed on the sidewalk, however she wasn’t inside. It did make me assume she was taken, although. She wouldn’t have simply smashed the factor and ran with no automobile or any of her shit.

Tyson didn’t reply his cellphone both, however the prospect who was with him did. Neither of them had heard from her, however Tyson’s cellphone was lacking, which he hadn’t seen earlier than.

“When did you final speak to her?”

“Earlier within the afternoon. We textual content rather a lot to test in. She was positive, working, the final we messaged one another. I don’t know the place the hell my cellphone went. Issues obtained busy right here when my sponsee’s household confirmed up.”

I didn’t actually give a shit, however earlier than I may say something, Reaper snapped his fingers to get my consideration. I hung up on Tyson after telling him I’d preserve him up to date and moved nearer to Reaper.

“What’s it?”

“It’s Lewis. He desires to know what occurred with the tracker he gave you.”

I frowned. “I put it on Hammer’s bike, however he left it on the warehouse when he tried to blow us up. Why?”

A darkish grin crossed his face. “As a result of it’s fucking shifting.”

Drawing in a deep breath, I let it out slowly. That was an excellent factor. It meant we knew which method Hammer was going, however with how lengthy Sam had been gone, I used to be fearful of what I’d discover after I obtained there. Hammer had been clear about what he’d do to her if I crossed him.

Maintain on, Sam. I’m coming.

CHAPTER 39

SAM

They left me alone to work for probably the most half, due to Chrissie. I knew she solely did it for her personal profit, however I couldn’t assist being grateful. I may hear her pretend moans and screams coming from upstairs. She was rather a lot braver than I used to be, doing that with them willingly, in order that they wouldn’t harm her. I stored my head down, patching wires round the home as finest I may. There have been two guys watching me, ensuring I did what I used to be purported to be doing. An ever current risk of what I needed to look ahead to if I ended for even a minute.

I didn’t have my cellphone on me, so I had no concept how a lot time had handed. Hours, on the very least. The solar had gone down at one level, and I used to be pressured to work at nighttime, the one mild coming in from the kitchen after I’d fastened it in there. I didn’t complain, nor was I keen to ask for any assist. So long as my mouth was shut and I stayed out of sight, they didn’t take note of me. I used to be going to maintain it that method for so long as attainable.

I’d completed up the lounge shops, checking them with a lamp to ensure they labored, when Hammer got here again downstairs. His eyes narrowed on me and I ducked my head, hoping Chrissie happy him sufficient for him to go away me alone. He dropped himself right into a chair, pulling out a cigarette. I may really feel his eyes on me as I moved from outlet to outlet, stopping when one didn’t work like I’d hoped.

“Didn’t determine a girl knew something helpful,” he murmured. I didn’t know if he was speaking to me or not, and I used to be too afraid to have a look at him to seek out out. I checked the wires once more, grimacing after I seen one other chewed half additional up. If I needed to guess, there have been rats within the partitions. The one cause I wasn’t panicking fully was as a result of there was one thing much more terrifying ready for me if I didn’t take care of it. My arms shook as I put the outlet again on. I’d come again to that later, since I’d want to chop into the wall to succeed in that particular level. The home we had been in was run down and falling aside, however I critically doubted Hammer can be okay with me slicing holes into the partitions.

“Have a look at me after I’m talkin’ to you,” he growled.

Jerking round, I appeared in his route. I couldn’t make myself look him within the eye, however he didn’t say something about me watching his chin. He stood, blowing a puff of smoke into my face when he stopped in entrance of me. I choked on it, my eyes watering, however I held again my cough. He grabbed my face, forcing me to search for, and grinned after I made eye contact for under a second earlier than my gaze skittered away.

“You’re sensible. Croy’s ol’ woman wasn’t sensible sufficient to maintain her eyes down. Obtained herself into bother due to it. You’re not like her, are you?”
