“I have another call coming through from one of the guards I sent with Misha. Hold.” My uncle puts Viktor on hold and takes the other call, also putting it on speaker. “What’s happening?”
“We’re at the train yard. Mr. D’Angelo and Mr. Sartori just arrived,” the guard informs us. “It doesn’t look good.”
“Jesus Christ,” I hiss.
“We’ll be there soon,” Uncle Carson mutters before ending the call and switching to Viktor’s call. “Sartori and D’Angelo heard about the attack. It’s going down at a trainyard.”
“Is Nikolai there?” Viktor asks, his tone tense.
“I’m here.”
“I give you full authority to speak and act on my behalf. If Sartori and D’Angelo won’t yield to the bratva, kill them.”
“Okay.”
I start to jog, just wanting to get to a vehicle. Being in this line of business all my life, I know the two women don’t have long.
I have to get to Abigail.
Everyone climbs into the row of SUVs, and soon we’re speeding out of the gates.
“Are you okay?” Uncle Carson asks.
“Hmm.”No, I’m not fucking okay.
“Nikolai,” he mutters. “Talk to me.”
“I just want to get to Abigail and deal with Sartori and D’Angelo.”
“You care about the woman,” he states the obvious.
More than I thought.
Fuck.
When I don’t say anything, Uncle Carson pats my arm.
The convoy of SUVs come to screeching stops at the back of the trainyard where a dozen other vehicles are already parked.
When I climb out and hear nothing but dead silence, my fucking heart cracks right down the middle.
Silence in war is never a good thing.
Chapter 18
Abbie
I wake up with a start, my eyes snapping open.
My body jerks, and it only takes a second for the horrendous realization to sink in.
Someone’s on top of me.
My body jerks again as a man thrusts into me.
A boot slams into the side of my head, and I hear vile laughter. Something is said in an Asian language while pain splinters through my skull.
No.
