He lifted his shoulder negligently and turned to Mike.
This had once been his friend. Strange, he’d never seen the bloodthirstiness in Mike’s eyes before now. What had changed? What had changed him?
Mike grinned. “As you can see, she’s alive. She’s not very talkative though.”
He glanced over at her as he felt the tracker on his right shoulder heat. He shook his head at the setup, looking around again.
Mike and Sienna watched him, obviously less than pleased at his reaction.
“I told you the bastard wasn’t as easy to intimidate as you thought he was.”
Noah didn’t tense. He didn’t turn. He stood still, relaxed. Yeah, he knew that voice. Gaylen Patrick. He waited long seconds before turning just enough to see the other man.
He waddled in, his thick lips creasing into a smile, followed by the shorter, trimmer form of Federal Judge Carl Clifford and the paunchy Marshal Kevin Lyle.
“Quite a little group,” Noah drawled.
Smug satisfaction filled Patrick’s beady hazel eyes.
“Yeah, we have some pretty good boys that like to play.” He walked over to Mike and Sienna. When he reached out and twisted one of her hard nipples she moaned like a bitch in heat and leaned into him.
Camp whore. Damn, he just hadn’t seen this one coming.
“I want a minute with Sabella alone.” He stared at Patrick, aware of who was running this show.
“Why would I do that?” Patrick stared back at him in amusement.
Noah smiled. The smile of a man with more confidence, more ability, than those around him suspected. And Patrick’s eyes gleamed at the challenge.
“This is a hunt?”
“Boy, we’re gonna be hunting you.” Gaylen laughed. “If you can keep your ass alive until dawn, then we’ll just put a bullet in your heads. We won’t rape her and we won’t make you watch if you’re still alive. Real simple. You get caught before dawn, or dead. Then she’s a nice little plaything, just like that female agent was.”
Noah nodded and held his smile. “You’ll want a real challenge then.”
“We love a challenge,” he chortled.
“Give me a minute alone with her. I’ll give you your challenge.” He let his voice lower, let the monster inside him echo in his voice.
Sienna shivered as though in arousal. “If you catch him before dawn, do I get to rape her first?”
Gaylen stared at her, rather like a man stared at his favorite pet.
“We’ll hold her for you,” he promised before turning back to Noah.
“You think you’re a challenge, do you?”
His brow arched. “You’ll never catch me.”
Gaylen grinned. “Other men have made that promise.”
“I’m not other men.” He was already a dead man, and he knew who was going to die tonight.
Gaylen’s fat lips widened before he nodded shortly. “You have three minutes. I’m gonna be nice about it. Let you kiss her real sweet before she gets to listen to you die.”
He nodded to the radio set up in the corner of the cavern. “She’ll get to listen to you scream like a pig.”
Noah just stared back at him.
