“Did they call the other guy Sir?” Carter asks as my stomach drops. I remember the name Armier being associated with the Hierarchy.
“Yeah, that’s what they kept saying. ‘Sir, we got the package. Sir, we killed the guy.’ But you ain’t dead.” She points out.
“Nope. Not yet.” I rip off my shirt and finish cleaning my side and my arm that both have graze wounds. My chest is bruised. I start to cut my slacks to get to my leg, but Carter moves over and helps me.
I dial my computer contact and have him run the prints and get camera feeds for us.
“Dude, I can’t help you. You are like a neon sign right now.”
I understand what he’s saying.
“Am I blown?”
“Like Hiroshima. You know what to do.”
I hang up and throw my phone across the room. I notice Carter has his ear bud in and talking to the main S.I. office.
“Hang the fuck up. We are blown. We need to get out of here.”
I stand and hobble to the garage.
“What about your car?” Brielle points to the front door.
“It’s probably blown too.” We head into the garage, where a Jeep is parked in one of the spots. I pull a burner from under the seat and text a local contact.
Me: Autoclave needed.
I use the name of a medical equipment company that sterilizes and sanitizes to get them to my place and do their thing. I hate that I blew one of my mother’s favorite vacation spots. But hopefully after my contact is done, it will be financially and physically scrubbed of my presence.
We check into a hotel that I have a security box at. I get the money and contact info out of the box before we check into a large suite.
“You won’t be able to go back to your place for a bit,” I say to Brielle. “I’ll take care of everything.”
I send my contact information for Brielle and Callie’s place. I’ll have the lease broken and get her a new place.
“How can you afford all this?” Brielle asks me as she flops down on a sofa.
“My family isthatReynolds, and I have places set up all over because of my job.” I don’t explain further, but she nods, and I watch as she starts to drift off.
“Head to bed. You’ll be safe soon,” I offer, and hope it’s true. I don’t like the idea of being burned, but I’ll get us all taken care of and find my girl.
When I get a hold of my contact, now on a new secure server, he starts searching. He finds out that she was taken to a boat harbor, and they are headed for Kauai. Now I just need to get to my girl and do as I promised, keep her safe.
CHAPTERFIVE
CALLIE
Iroll to the side of the bed and pray the nausea stops soon. I can’t believe this is happening to me. It’s been four weeks since I saw Declan or Brielle. I was originally held captive in Kauai, but now I think I’m somewhere on the north side of the Big Island because it’s always raining. I watched as Declan tried to get to me after Brielle was attacked. I know he promised to protect me, but he couldn’t prevent this from happening. I know he’ll come for me.
He'll never give up.
I just hope it’s before my captor realizes I’m pregnant. I’m questioned regularly about Securities International. About Maya and the rest of the team. But mostly Maya. They want to know everything about her. Benedict works with Sir. I don’t answer any of their questions. They’ve threatened to torture me to get the information, but so far, I’m treated like a guest. I have free rein of the room I’m in and I’m asked to dinner every day. I can’t open the window though. They keep that locked and alarmed.
Especially if I really am pregnant. I haven’t had a period and I started to get nauseous a couple of days ago. It’s random and sometimes smells will cause me to want to hurl too. I regret leaving the compound some days, but today isn’t one of them. I slide my hand over my still flat stomach. I’m freaked out that I haven’t been to a doctor yet. I’m also worried that Brielle was killed because when I came to, she wasn’t with me and all they’ll say is that she’s gone.
A knock sounds on my door, and I slowly sit up from the bed.
“Come in.” My voice has a slight quiver to it, and I close my eyes as my head swims.
