I could barely remember.
My heart faltered a beat, vision darkening. Beneath my knees, the docks were slick with a puddle of my blood.
I needed to go after her.
She couldn’t be out there alone.
“I didn’t mean…” I trailed off, my tongue heavy in my mouth, muscles unlocking from bone until I could hardly hold myself up.
“Shit,” I heard someone curse and then hands were holding me up. “Diesel!”
I let my head fall back and looked up into mismatched eyes. Something about that seemed weird, but I couldn’t seem to hold onto the thought as Drake called for Diesel a second time. “He’s been shot,” Drake said. “I think he’s hemorrhaging.”
Diesel pushed something against my lower stomach, and I shuddered, grimacing at the pain.
“We need to get him to the vet,” Diesel announced, and he and Axel shuffled Drake out of the way as they lifted me from the floor despite my grousing.
“Wait,” I said through gritted teeth, reaching out to grab Drake, haul him close.
He looked down at me, confused, edgy.
“Find her.”
His gaze narrowed on me. “Who?”
“She took off,” Rook supplied for me as Diesel set me on a plank of wood, my makeshift stretcher.
“Find her,” I implored Drake. “Bring her… bring her…”
I could feel myself fading and fought it with everything I had.
“Don’t worry,” Drake said, peeling my rigid fingers from his forearm. “I’ll find her.”
