He started for the door. “You’re not Hawks yet—”
“Bullshit,” I snarled and followed him. “I can help. Just tell me what’s goin’ on.”
He glanced over at me as we picked up into a jog, and I saw it then, the fucking terror in his gaze. His jaw clenched and unclenched. “Easton said there was a dispatch call that got cut off from Maya’s vehicle. Someone’s taken control of it.”
I stopped.
My body.
My heart.
My breath.
Everything except her name running over and over in my head.
Fear had taken hold.
“Texas” was yelled harshly, and I blinked slowly at Talon. He studied me for a beat. “You comin’ or do I need to get someone to lock you down?”
“I—” Clearing my throat, I caught up. “I’m comin’.”
No one was going to stop me.
Even though my body had kicked back into gear, my mind remained locked tight with pure panic for Maya. Still, I’d managed to work on autopilot. I went to my bike, got on it, and rode off, following behind Talon, Griz, and Blue, because I knew they’d lead me to where Maya was.
Our rides rumbled along as we pulled onto a street where I could easily see an ambulance down the road with its back doors open. Cops and other paramedics surrounded the vehicle, and the officers had their guns drawn. We stopped. Some took notice of us, and even more so when Talon pushed his way through.
“Put it down and let her go,” a cop yelled towards the ambulance.
As Talon stopped and cursed low, my gaze snagged on what was in front of us.
My gut clenched.
Blood pumped harder through my veins.
Maya had blood on her everywhere. It dripped down the side of her face. Her right eye was already swollen and bruised.
Near the back of the opened doors to the ambulance, a guy held Maya in his arms with a needle to her neck. A parked car blocked their left side, and there was enough room to their right for another car to pass by before it hit the curb, a path, and houses.
“Step back,” another cop ordered Talon.
Talon didn’t. He took another step closer. “You know who you have there?” he called out clearly.
“Just stay back,” the guy holding Maya screamed and shifted slightly, taking Maya with him so her body covered his more.
Maya’s brown eyes teared when she stared back at her father.
I wanted to run to her, fucking protect her, take her away from this nightmare.
But I couldn’t do shit.
I couldn’t help because I wouldn’t risk her.
Not when he was so close to her. I knew this. The brothers and cops did too.
Fuck.
“This was supposed to work,” the guy yelled. “You all ruined this.”
