“Jesus fucking Christ, Zara.” I let out a breath and wrap my arms around her.
My eyes flick to the abandoned building behind us.
“Take him in there, tie him up. I’ll be there shortly,” I say to Grayson.
Kai waits with me as Grayson and Jax drag Alex into the warehouse.
As I cup Zara's face in my hands, I can feel her pulse quickening beneath my fingertips.
“Are you okay, dolcezza?”
I glance down, spotting the handcuffs on the ground. She follows my gaze and grins.
“I used the trick you taught me.”
“Good girl.” I press a kiss to her forehead.
“Alex knows something, Frankie. He’s on the verge of breaking. He’s going on about something going down tonight and how he wants out. He said he knows where the last two girls are.”
Interesting.
“Fine work, detective.” I smirk at her.
“What do we do now?” she asks.
“You and Kai go back to the End Zone with Keller and the girls. I can’t concentrate unless I know you’re safe. We are sitting ducks here, Zara. I don’t know who owns this place, or what the bigger plan was here. I can’t risk it, not now.”
I place my hands on her stomach, reminding her of the importance of not just her safety, but for our baby as well.
Handing her the keys, she shakes her head, refusing to take them.
“I don’t want to leave you, Frankie.” She blinks back the tears and I stroke her cheek with my thumb.
“I’ll be perfectly fine. I’ll get what I need from Alex and I’ll have Enzo come and get us. I won’t be long, baby. I promise.”
Pressing a kiss on her lips, I pull her tightly to my chest. I need her protected and away from this.
“You made me proud today, baby,” I whisper.
“You found me pretty quick.”
“I told you, I’ll always find you. Now, get your ass back to the club.” My hand pats her hip as I let her free from my embrace.
“I will.” She takes her hand back with the keys, looking behind me to Kai. “I’m driving!” she calls out, looking at the RS7 Grayson owns.
“Be careful,” I warn her.
“Always.” She winks.
I stand back, watching as she pulls out of the lot, and I can breathe again. She’s safe with Kai and Keller; the End Zone is on lockdown for now. My phone buzzes in my pocket.
Enzo
I’m on my way to you. Will be 15 minutes. Your army is at the End Zone.
With the knowledge that Zara will be safe, I head into the dark warehouse.
“I suggest you start fucking talking, Alex,” I spit out as Jax is putting the rope around his neck. I look up and find Grayson tossing the end over one of the metal beams in the ceiling.
