"Pick the fucking phone up," I yelled, gripping the dash as we sped away from the factory.
Xanderson's voice floated down the phone a second later. "Yes, Henderson?"
"The Hunters have Blair!" I rushed out, hearing his breathing pause as he processed my words. "They have her at the factory you attacked last time she was taken."
Xanderson cursed, yelling out to someone. In the background, I heard Cadman and Parker yell, the sound of commotion as they sprung into action.
"I'll keep you updated," he snapped before hanging up.
I put the phone down, staring out the window before emotion finally overwhelmed me. I broke down, hunched over as I cried.
I hadn't cried since Quinn died, but the thought that Blair was being hurt by my father right now, was too much. I had just gotten her back in my life… I couldn't lose her. Not like this.
"Bro," Benny said, looking at me concerned as he drove. "It will be okay. They will get to her in time."
"Fuck!" I yelled, punching the dash. "This is fucked!"
My hand throbbed from the impact but Benny said nothing, driving us back to the motel where all we could do was wait.
I never was an overly patient person. So, we did what we could to distract ourselves. We started packing up our shit.
"We have to run," Benny said, shoving clothes into his bag. "They will definitely come after us now."
I nodded in agreement. It was now or never. We gathered up all our belongings, throwing them into the car. I still had my escape plan ready from when I tried to get Quinn out. It was something at least.
I threw the key in the ignition, starting the car when my phone dinged with a message. I quickly opened it, relief filling me as Xanderson's name appeared.
Reed Xanderson: We have her. She's safe. Come over.
"What is it?" asked Benny, watching me carefully.
"Blair's safe," I said softly. "They want me to go over."
Benny nodded. "That's good. We did it."
"Yeah we did." I looked at him sadly. "You can't stay. You need to run still. And when the time is right, I'll find you."
He gave me a tight smile. "I know you will. I believe in you, Levi. You're going to do great things. Drop me off at the train station. Freedom is calling me home."
Xanderson opened the front door just as I knocked. He stared at me for a few seconds, before slowly extending his hand to me.
"Thank you," he said, shaking my hand. "You saved her again. I won't forget this."
I shrugged, feeling a bit awkward. "I would risk everything for her."
"I know you would. Come in," he said, stepping back to let me inside.
Cadman and Parker stood in the foyer, arms crossed as they watched me with calculated stares.
"She's upstairs resting," Parker said, giving me a warm smile. "You can go sit with her if you like. Just make sure she takes the painkillers when she wakes."
"Deal," I said with a quiet laugh. "Though if she fights me on it, I'm not pushing it. I've heard what she can do in the ring."
Cadman chuckled, an expression of pride crossing his face.
Parker nodded towards the stairs, motioning me to follow him. Xanderson held up a hand.
"Wait. You realize you can't go back to the Hunters now."
