He had to protect Hayley.
“Hayley,” he croaked as he tried to fumble with his seatbelt to get it undone. He had to get to her. He had to see if she was okay.
Her car door was wrenched open.
Help.
It had to be help.
“Call an ambulance,” he mumbled, or at least he hoped he did, but his pulse was drumming in his ears so loudly he could hardly hear anything else.
“We won't be needing an ambulance,” a voice smirked.
He knew that voice.
It was Jay Turner.
“No, stop,” Brian said as he tried once again to—unsuccessfully—undo his seatbelt. Where was his weapon?
There was rustling.
Moaning.
Then he thought he saw Hayley being dragged out of the car.
“I’m sorry,” whispered a voice.
A female voice.
Not Jay’s.
He thought it was Maria’s.
Why was she here?
She was supposed to be waiting for them at her house.
Then it hit him.
She’d tricked them.
Lured them into a trap so her husband could get Hayley.
She’d been wrong. Maria wasn't strong enough to break the hold her husband had on her.
He had to get to her.
If he didn't, Jay would torture and kill her.
He couldn’t let that happen.
He couldn’t lose the woman he loved.
The car door was slammed shut.
The noise echoed inside his head, then threw him into unconsciousness.
