Rear window penetrated.

I click on the GPS function.

Jesus Christ.

My chest hurts. I have to remind my body to breathe.

It’s close to the house.

It’s too close to the house.

On the map, there’s a red dot where the other vehicle used to be.Used to be. Right next to the current location of the damaged vehicle.

Did someone blow up my fucking car?

I think about the first sensor notification on the second vehicle.

Windshield penetrated.

Thebulletproof glasswas penetrated.

The walls of the elevator close around me.

And my hands start shaking.

I don’t remember the last time my hands were shaking.

With jerky movements, I swipe to my contacts and dial Payton.

I should call someone else.

Call my men.

I should tell Rocco to call someone.

But something… something deep inside of me is twisting.

The phone rings.

And rings.

And rings.

My free hand is clenched so tightly into a fist my fingers ache.

Another ring.

And as I’m stepping off the elevator, the call is answered.

“Pay––”

But I’m answered with her screams.

Screams that slice through my chest.

Screams that tear apart my soul.

“They got her.” Robert’s choked words mix with the sound of Payton’s terror.
