Levi blows out a long breath before glancing at Kenny and then back to me. "He had her drink spiked. Fucked one of Macker’s sluts in front of her and then..."
"And then?"
His expression tightens. "She wants you to know the details, she can tell you, man."
"Jesus fucking Christ." I scrub my hand down my face, all kinds of crazy-ass ideas filling my mind about what he could have forced on my girl. "Where is he?"
"I made sure he took enough of whatever they were lacing the drinks with to knock out a small horse. He won't be waking up for a few hours yet."
"This is seriously fucked up."
"You fucking think?"
"She's gonna be okay, right?"
"Yeah, though I suspect she’ll have a killer hangover in the morning."
"I can't let her stay here. I can't let him keep doing this to her."
"Then fucking don't. Find a way to end this... to end him."
My fists curl with my need to do just that. "It's fucking coming. I just need to make sure he can't hurt anyone else first."
"We need to get her back before the sun comes up. If he thinks she went anywhere but home he's gonna be on the warpath. You can both stay in here. I'll crash on the couch." He pushes from the chair and walks to the door.
"Lev?"
"Yeah?"
"Did he... did he let anyone else..." I trail off. He doesn't need me to spell it out for him.
"Not that I know of, but I had to leave in order to deal with him."
I nod and he pulls the door open before I call for him again. This time I look over my shoulder and catch his eyes when he does the same thing.
"T-thank you."
He nods, accepting my appreciation before pulling the door closed behind him and leaving me alone with my girl.
Twisting around, I pull her boots from her feet and quietly drop them to the floor before toeing my own off. I pull out a couple of the wipes Levi handed me and make quick work of cleaning up her face until I reveal my gorgeous girl beneath, and then I crawl onto the bed beside her.
There are so many things I want to say to her, want to ask her, but I can't. Well, I could, but it's not going to get me any of the answers I so desperately need right now.
Wrapping my arm around her waist, I pull her into my body and drop my lips to her forehead.
"I've got you, babe. You're safe now." My voice cracks with emotion. She might be safe right this second, but I know Levi is right. We need to deliver her back before sunrise, and then she's once again going to be at his mercy.
Part of me hopes that the quantity of drugs Levi gave him tonight will finish him off, but another part would feel cheated if that were to happen. I want to be there, watching as the life drains from his eyes. I want to be the one who delivers the final blow and puts an end to the cunt that's tried to ruin my girl's life time and time again.
The sound of her shallow breathing is the only noise that fills the room as the minutes tick by. She sleeps soundly in my arms, but I have no chance of shutting off. I've got too many ideas running around my head about what she might have endured tonight. I know I should probably be relieved that she isn’t covered in blood and bruises, but we both know that the worst pain is often on the inside.
My hold on her doesn't falter, but all too soon the sky begins to turn orange as the dawn of a new day begins.
I want to lift her into my arms, place her in my car and run away with her. We could drive out of the Heights, past the Bay and just disappear together.
But where would that leave us? Where would that leave my dad and my brothers?
Warren isn't likely to give up that easily. He would haunt us wherever we went, and we would be constantly looking over our shoulders, waiting for him to show his face.
