Madeline trembled in my arms, still hiding her face in my neck. I squeezed her tighter to my body.
“Saw him.” Hendricks shook his head. “Only one dead, good job. I’ll take care of it. I’ll need her statement.” He looked at Madeline.
“Not now. Drop by the club later.” I glanced at Hero and Tara. “I’m sure they can tell you everything that happened.”
The sheriff patted my back. “I’m sure you’re right.”
“We can’t leave Tara here,” Madeline whispered. “Please, she has to come with me.”
Track had just cut Hero loose and was doing the same for Tara.
I went over to him. “You bring them to the club. I don’t want anyone other than Hendricks talking to Tara.”
Track nodded. “Got it.”
With that, I carried my woman out of the silo and into the sunshine.
My dad approached. “I got the truck right over here.” He eyed Madeline. “Christ,” he gritted out, his expression pained.
“We’ll be in the truck. I want Hero and Tara riding with us. Track is with them inside,” I told him as I walked away.
“I’ll get them.” He pushed the keys into my hand.
I got us situated in the backseat so Hero could sit in the front. I had no idea what his injuries were and didn’t want him struggling to squeeze into the back. Madeline was in her spot on my lap. She hadn’t lifted her head once, pressing her body into mine as if trying to hide inside me.
I held her tightly. Pouring my love into her.
My eyes landed on Deputy fuckin’ Miller handcuffed, leaning against the sheriff’s car. Blood boiled through every one of my veins.
“What’s wrong?” she whispered, turning toward the window. Of course she would notice the change in me. Just as I felt her body stiffening when she saw Miller.
“Oh.” She said nothing else, burying her face in my neck.
“It’s okay, Angel. I’m here.” I rubbed her back the way she liked. “I’m here.”
Goddamn, I wanted to jump out of the truck and tear him to pieces with my bare hands.
Now wasn’t the time for retribution. Once she was healed, I’d avenge my Angel so she never had to worry about seeing that prick again.
