Page 134 of Scars of Fate

The image filled the screen.

A woman sat tied to a chair inside a dark room.

Silver hair.

Blood on her temple.

Fear in her eyes.

Wynn made a broken sound.

“Elise.”

The attorney looked directly into the camera.

A man stepped into view behind her.

His face remained hidden.

He placed a pistol against Elise’s head.

Then a message appeared across the screen.

BRING LUCAS AND WYNN SPENCER TO GENEVA.

COME ALONE.

OR ELISE MOREAU DIES.

The video ended.

Wynn stared at the black screen.

I looked toward my team.

Meridian had just given us a deadline.

They believed they were forcing Wynn and me into a trap.

They didn’t understand.

We wouldn’t be coming alone.

The Brave was coming with us.

WYNN

Come alone.

The men who had taken Elise clearly knew nothing about the Brave.

Adam watched the video three more times.

Hawk studied the shadows behind Elise.

Russ listened to the background noise.
