The noise I heard from Maeve stopped me in my tracks and look toward them. Edwards had thrust his finger into one of her knife wounds. Her eyes bugged as he tugged at her stomach, a sickening ripping noise making me heave.
A puddle formed around Molly as she watched in horror while Esther let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Edwards stood, wiping his bloodied hand on his trousers. ‘Another peep from you and I’ll tear your guts out of the hole and strangle you with them.’
Never had I thought I could kill someone. But I’d have gladly run Edwards through with a knife until his torso was nothing but ribbons.
He stood panting and glaring from one woman to another.
Then his beady eyes fixed back on me.
FORTY
EWEN
The industrial estate was dark, quiet, and empty as I followed the tracker on foot, each step leading closer to Cora.
My brothers, Cam and Alec, followed behind me, our other security men flanking us.
Holding up a hand, everyone froze. I saw a figure leaning against a door, rolling a cigarette before lighting it up.
You didn’t guard an empty building. I waited until he turned away to sneak up on him and shove my knife into his trachea, his last breath coming out in a smoke-tingled, wet, bloody bubble.
‘Help me get him in the dumpster,’ I said. Logan grabbed his ankles while Cam held the lid open. He thumped into the bottom, and I winced at the clatter his body made against the metal.
‘What’s the plan?’ Alec asked as we approached the door.
‘To kill every last fucker in there as quickly as possible. I’ll follow the tracker. You guys stick with me.’ I turned to our men. ‘I want you guys to go through the building and dispatch anyone in there who belongs to Edwards. If there are any other hostages, take them back to the club and patch them up until we can talk to them.’
‘What if it’s a trap? He could blow us all up,’ Mac said.
‘There’s no way he knows about the tracker. It would take at least a day to find them through cameras and trying to trace the stream. He’ll think he has more time. I’d rather die trying to save them than let a single one of them suffer.’
Alec paled as he looked at his phone screen, his jaw ticking.
‘What is it?’ I asked.
‘Rob tried to fuck Cora’s mouth, and she bit his cock in half.’
My muscles tightened as I grabbed the phone, seeing Edwards smash Cora’s ankle with his bat. Every second he had left to breathe was one too many.
Thrusting the phone back to him, I hauled the door open and headed inside. Multiple guns cocked behind me, ready for whatever came our way.
The warehouse was a vast warren of corridors. Cora’s tracker showed her location, but not the specific floor she was on. Door after door, we hoped to find them only to be met with another empty room.
‘They must be below us,’ I whispered.
‘We’re on the ground floor,’ Logan said, grabbing his hair.
‘There has to be a basement.’
Alec gagged as he glanced at the screen. ‘We need to find it right now.’
I didn’t want to ask.
‘What?’ Mac grabbed the phone and watched until his fingers trembled. ‘If we don’t get there now, Maeve’s going to die.’
Cam let out a choked sob and practically tore the door from its hinges as he stormed out. Seconds later, he found a door that had steps behind it—steps going down.
