Breaking the rear glass, we reached in, unlocking the

doors, and I came down on the two guys in front as Rika and

Will grabbed Winter and Michael.

Anderson and the other guy shouted and laid on the gas,

trying to move, but they were locked in, just bumping into our

cars in the front and behind. We had everyone out of the car

before they even had a chance to reach for their weapons.

Will sliced off Michael’s restraints, and Michael didn’t

wait a moment more. He whipped open the front passenger

side door and hauled himself up, shooting his legs into the car

and kicking the other guy in the face.

Will took Winter, climbed back in our SUV, and Michael

grabbed Rika, running for their car.

“Back at the house,” I told them. “I’ll send Crane.”

Rika nodded, Michael climbed into the driver’s seat, blood

seeping from his head, and they took off, swerving in a U-turn

and jetting past us.

I jumped in our car, pulling around in a circle and seeing

Anderson trying to start the car as we blew past.

I didn’t care if there were cops or if someone on the street

was calling them in right now. I wasn’t stopping until we were

safe.

I looked over at Winter, sitting in Will’s lap as he cut off

her zip ties, and I quickly scanned her face and clothes. She

still wore the same bloody jeans from yesterday when I’d been

bleeding all over her and Will’s hoodie. She didn’t look hurt,

except for some blood trickling from her lip, and nothing

appeared ripped like there had been a struggle. Her angelic

face and white-blonde hair looked like they’d been through the

ringer tonight, though. Eyes red while worry and upset creased

her face. I could tell she’d been terrified.

How the fuck did this happen? I wasn’t asleep long at the

hospital. They didn’t have her long, right? GGod, if they

touched her…

I quickly called Crane on Will’s cell.
