“Hello?”
“Justice? It’s me. I need you to ping this number and come get me and Ice.”
“I’m on my way.”
Echo handed back the guy’s phone. “Stick around. My friend can find us, but only if you don’t move.”
“Shouldn’t I call 911?”
“No.” Echo reached down and slapped Ice in the face.
“Oww,” the man croaked and opened his eyes.
“Don’t go to sleep. You hear me?”
“Yeah.”
Echo took off his own shirt and pressed it to the wound on Ice’s lower abdomen. It hadn’t been a kill shot. He’d only delivered it to keep Ice in one place while he killed him.
Ice held his eyes and suddenly Echo had to look away.
Hearing voices, Ice came to.
“Did you get the bullet out?” Echo asked.
“I did,” said a voice Ice didn’t recognize. “I closed the wound and I’ll get some antibiotics.”
“Thank you, Justice.”
“Why didn’t you contact Rogue or Fisher?” Justice asked.
“They don’t have your skills with bullet removal.”
“Okay…Care to tell me what the fuck happened?” the man called Justice said.
“We were set up,” Echo said, no way did he want his brothers mixed up in any of this. He considered Justice safe since the man was related to Wrath, plus Justice would not prevent him from taking Ice and leaving. That was what his plan was…There was no way that Ice could survive here right now.
Fighting the weakness that had taken over his whole body, Ice was unable to speak or move at all. They must have given him a strong painkiller, he thought before he passed back out.
The fever hit him hard and he was in an out of it so much so that he only caught snatches of conversation and lost track of time.
The next time Ice was able to stay awake for longer than a few minutes, they were on the move. He was being held up by a man a bit bigger than him with an arm draped around his waist. Echo ran to a black SUV and opened the door to the backseat.
It was a good thing the guy next to him was strong because Ice was pretty sure he would have fallen to the ground and wouldn’t have been able to get back up again.
“You got the passports?” the man Echo called Justice asked and Ice realized it was the guy holding him up.
“Yeah, thank you,” Echo said.
“You know you can stay hiding out with me,” Justice said.
“It’s already been a week. I’m nervous. I need to get the hell out of here and get him well,” Echo said.
“Alright. Here’s the name and number of my medical contact when you get there. Plus, a place you can buy supplies.”
“I do have my own contacts,” Echo said.
“Take them, just in case.” Justice held out the piece of paper and Echo took it, read it, and handed it back.
