Axel: Ok
I knew what Norris wasn’t asking. He didn’t need my permission to use Derek’s help. If her friend wanted to help, we’d let him. He cared about her, and that meant he’d do whatever it took to find her.
York, on the other hand, wasn’t thrilled when I told him, but I didn’t care. York was too concerned about upsetting Will when he found out Derek was involved in rescuing Miranda. But I knew Will better than York. He’d also do whatever it took to save Miranda.
It was fast approaching 1:30 a.m. Miranda had been missing for at least six hours, according to Norris. Jason had disappeared during the gunfight, so my guess was he’d gone straight to Washington. He had a head start on us by an hour or two. A lot of shit could happen during that amount of time.
I sent Norris a text to call me if he could as soon as we were on the ground. It rang within seconds.
“What do you have?” I asked as my boot hit the pavement. Cars were waiting for us as we deplaned the jet and ran out to them.
“I’ll text you the location. We found a shack in the middle of a little clearing on the south end of the lake. The windows are boarded up. I can’t see shit. Smoke from a pipe in the roof is what led us here. It wouldn’t have been so easy to find it otherwise.”
“How do you know she’s inside?”
“We caught a guy watching the place. He was loaded with guns and syringes. He had to have been the one to drug me. I beat the shit out of him already. He said Jason was inside with Miranda, armed, and would kill her. The prospect is watching the dude.”
“Fuck! I knew the asshole didn’t care about her!”
“Do you want us to go in after her?”
“Are you sure no one else is around?”
“We haven’t seen any movement. Wolf and I can handle Jason. Derek here is going out of his mind.”
“Can’t say I blame him. We should be there in twenty. Let me talk to York. I’ll text you the order.”
“Okay.” Norris ended the call.
York looked back at me from the front seat. “Well?”
I gave the location to the driver before speaking to York.
“They got the guy who drugged Norris. He said Jason is with Miranda and won’t hesitate to kill her. Windows are boarded up. They couldn’t see inside. Do you want them to move in?”
“Shit. That’s not very much information.”
“He’s a sick fuck. We don’t know what he’s doing to Miranda right now. We shouldn’t wait. I trust Norris and Wolf; they can handle this.”
“Fine. Let’s get an ambulance out there.” York rubbed his bald head.
My chest squeezed just as my phone chimed with a text.
Tessa: Update?
Axel: Think we found her. How’s Will?
Tessa: Think??? You better find her and alive.
Axel: We will.
Tessa: They stopped administering the meds to bring Will out of the coma.
Axel: Shit. Ok.
“York? What do you want them to do?” I asked. I was impatient as fuck.
“How much time?” York asked the driver.
