Fitz on one side.
Me on the other.
He was all like“You should stay, be with your friends.”
And I was like“No! I want my man. Take me to my man,”in my drunken state.
Fitz lost, and now we were outside my old apartment building and he was going in first. He said the coms weren’t working for some reason, so I stayed behind with Drake. Kash had taken to keeping Josh and Scott with him at all times, which I understood, but I missed the guys. When Drake got the notice to send me in, I was expecting to see Josh or Scott at the door.
I assumed they would escort me upstairs, but it was a no-go that night.
The building was probably on lockdown, so I headed up myself.
I was just leaving the elevator when the door to our old apartment opened. Out walked Kash, alone.
He was looking at his phone, but then looked up and stopped in his tracks.
“What are you doing here?” He looked beyond me, his face darkening. “Why are you alone?”
“Where’s Scott and Josh? They weren’t at the door.”
“Who cleared you to come in?” His hand grabbed my arm, and he began pulling me toward the apartment.
I went with him, frowning. “Fitz.”
We were at the apartment, and he shoved open the door, pushing me in first. “Where’s Drake?”
“In the car.”
He hurried me inside, throwing the door shut. The lock was next, then the whole barrage of locks. He went to the security cameras next, cursing under his breath. “Chase!”
Oh boy. What had I walked in on?
Kash’s brother came out from the kitchen. “What’s going on?” He saw me, and he started to smile—then his brother spoke.
“We’re under attack.”
“What?” That was me.
“Who?” That was Chase. He was much calmer; more efficient, too.
Kash was looking at the cameras, then he called down. “Scott, Josh. Go to the east side. Twenty men are coming up the main elevators. They’ll come for us, but I want you guys to sweep in from the east, move slow and cautious.” He hit a different button. “Fitz? Come in, Fitz.”
Chase was now waiting along with me.
Kash was searching the security cams. He must’ve switched calls again. “I’m looking. My guess, our grandfather.” A pause, cursing. He hit a different button on his phone. “Drake! Move. Drake!”
Chase disappeared into a room.
He reappeared later with three vests in hand and a myriad of weapons in a bag in his other hand. I was pretty sure he wasn’t supposed to handle any of those guns like that, but he did, and he dropped them on the table way rougher than was necessary.
“Base, this is Kash. We’re under attack at Chase’s apartment.”
It was Chase’s apartment now? He was staying here permanently?
While Kash kept talking to whoever was at base, Chase touched my arm, pulling me over to him. His eyes were serious, his face tight. “Lift your arms.”
I did, and then because I’m me, I made a joke. “In two minutes, men will break into your apartment and take you hostage.”
