Pussy.
Ronan crouches down on his haunches right in front of Thomas. “I’m going to ask you this once and one time only.” Ronan’s voice is cool and calm, and if it were anyone else, I would think that’s exactly the way he felt. But he’s not anyone else, and I know he’s doing everything he can to prevent his control from breaking. Not that any of us give a flying fuck if this bastard lives or dies. “Where is she?”
“Where is wh—”
The sound of a gunshot rings through the apartment. I look over to Mac, who just shot Thomas in the knee. He gives me nothing more than a shrug, and I have to fight to hold back my smile. So much for not using our guns.
“Okay, okay!” Thomas shouts between screams of pain. “Logan took her to Declan’s cabin until he could get a flight into Erie International. They’re supposed to leave in two days.”
“All it took was one bullet to the knee, and he folded like a fucking lawn chair,” Luca laughs.
Enzo snorts, “Fucking pathetic.”
“Where’s the cabin, Thomas?” Ronan asks, still maintaining his icy tone.
“I don’t—”
Another shot goes off, hitting Thomas in the opposite knee.
“Ahhh! Fuck!” He screams, “Please, he–he’ll kill me.”
“You’re as good as dead anyway,” Mac states matter-of-factly. “It’s up to you whether it’s a fast or slow death.” He bends down so his face is level with his older brothers. “And I promise you, there are a lot of other places I can shoot you before you bleed out.”
I watch as the resignation of what he’s done and his situation wash over Thomas’ face. He’s been in this life long enough to know the consequences of getting caught up in something like this. He also knows how excruciatingly painful we can make his death, not that we want to. We all want to get out of here as fast as possible and on the road to wherever she is. His breathing slows as he sits up straighter on the couch, seemingly forgetting about the two bullet holes in his legs, apparently coming to terms with his fate. “Hand me that pen and paper,” he points at the small table behind Enzo.
Enzo grabs the small pad of paper and pen and hands it back to Thomas, who shakily writes down an address. “It’s a small cabin in Pennsylvania, about an hour outside Erie. Logan and the girl should be the only ones there. If you leave now, you should get there this evening.”
Ronan snatches the paper from Thomas’ hand and stands up from his crouched position. “Thank you, Thomas.”
In a split second, Ronan raises his gun and puts a bullet between Thomas’ eyes.
None of us so much as flinch.
The faint sound of sirens sounds outside the window. “Someone in the building probably called the cops. We’ve got to move,” Luca states.
We make our way down the stairwell in the formation we came up in. Once we get into the alley, the sound of sirens grows louder. “Finn, give me your keys.” I toss Luca my keys to my Audi as I move towards Ronan’s Lexus. “Dante and Enzo will follow you all there in case you need backup. I’ll go back to the apartment and stay with Sebastian.”
“We’ll call you once we get on the road to figure out a plan,” Ronan says to Enzo as he gets in the driver’s seat. Mac climbs into the passenger seat next to his brother. I move to get in the back before Luca’s voice stops me. “Hey!”
“Yeah?”
A small smile pulls at his lips. “Go get your girl.”

Harper
The slam of the front door breaks me from my thoughts.
This is it, Harp.
I just have to get him to let me into the bathroom alone. I thought about using the excuse that I have my period because, quite frankly, most men are terrified of the thought. But, he’d be able to see that I don’t have any blood between my legs, seeing as I still have no fucking panties on.
So I thought of the next best thing.
Logan opens the locks on my door, and before he can make it even a foot inside, I speak up, making sure my voice sounds panicked. “Thank God you’re back. I need to use the bathroom. Like now.”
“I haven’t given you any water since last night. There’s no way you need to use the bathroom again.” I can tell he’s already gearing up to punish me in some way for asking for such a simple request.
