“Fox—” Caleb’s voice cuts off.

“Man down!” Rhys says. “Fitzpatrick, we’re stepping into. In case you get a shot, take it.”

My coronary heart stops.

“Who’s down?” I ask. “Fox, who’s down?!”

“I don’t know,” he says.

One other wave of gunshots spills out, flooding the air with a popping echo. I freeze within the sand, able to bury my head in it, however I can’t cease staring on the warehouse.

Caleb.

She’s in there. I can’t do a fucking factor from again right here.

I push up off the sand and begin operating.

“Boxcar, cease!”

I ignore Fox’s warning, forcing one foot in entrance of the opposite. Remorse builds with every step, however I swallow it down between heaving breaths. The warehouse attracts nearer each second however every one that passes may imply a bullet by means of Caleb’s good inexperienced eyes.

Lastly, I cost by means of the entrance door and my nostril twitches with the scent of blood.

Rhys. West. Rogers. Every of them lies on the ground, face down and nonetheless, with a pool of purple flowing out of their heads. I slink again as a wave of nausea hits my intestine.

“Holy shit!”

A large hand slaps my shoulder. His voice echoes in my reminiscences, that very same barking drawl that bossed me round for days.

“It’s you!”

I lookup into the onerous, black eyes of the bald man and cringe. For a second, I’m wondering if it’s a great factor that he appears completely satisfied to see me however then I understand that it simply means he will get to tie up a free finish.

“Boxcar…”

Caleb’s whimper breaks my coronary heart much more. She sits within the chair on the desk together with her fingers weaved collectively behind her head and for a second, I breathe simpler. Then, I discover the bearded man together with his gun pressed in opposition to her head and all of it melts away.

“Please, don’t harm her,” I say.

The bald man forces me into the chair beside her. She stares again at me with a blood-splattered face, her eyes drifting behind my head as I really feel the onerous, metallic tip of a gun push in opposition to my cranium.

“The Boss can be delighted to know we discovered you,” the bald man says. He pulls again the hammer beside my ear and I flinch. “Don’t fear in regards to the girl. We gained’t kill her… but.”

The bearded man’s laughter cuts brief and his physique crumbles to the ground behind Caleb’s chair.

“What the fuck—”

Extra blood strikes Caleb’s face. I spin round in time to see the bald man’s eyes roll again into his head earlier than he joins his good friend on the ground. My jaw drops on the darkish purple dots within the middle of every of their foreheads.

Fox fucking Fitzpatrick.

I heave a nauseous breath, filled with completely satisfied reduction, and switch to take a look at Caleb.

Her palm crashes into my face.

“Ow!” Ache fires down my neck as she climbs to her ft. “What—!”

“What the hell have been you pondering?!” she shouts. “Operating in right here like that. Are you insane?”
