“Lana. Focus. We need to get out of here.”
“But we haven’t checked all the doors,” I say.
“There’s no time. We’ve already been through most of those cells. Most were empty.”
“But she has to be here!” My voice sounds as desperate as my heart feels.
Kai grips my shoulders and shakes me a little. “Look at me! I’m not losing you after just getting you back. Do you hear me?”
I’m shocked and overwhelmed at the same time because my body is still trying to fight the drugs while my brain is overloaded with fear.
Fear for losing someone dear to me, who’s stuck here because of me.
BANG!
The last gunshot ricochets through the corridor before a gun is thrown across the hall. I hear fighting and lean around the corner to watch Milo kick the guy’s ass, pummeling him to the floor with ease before smashing his face in with a chair.
Milo’s face is covered in blood as he turns to look at us. “Go!”
Kai grabs my hand, lacing his fingers through mine as we run through the hallway with Milo on our tail to cover us.
I stop in front of another door and pull at the lock, but it won’t budge.
Grunting, Kai yells, “Move.”
And he slams the lock open with an empty gun snatched off the floor.
I open the door, but no one is inside.
More tears well up in my eyes.
We’re too late.
“We have to go. Now.” Kai leans around the corner to watch more Bonesmen pour in.
“What about Crystal?” I ask.
“No more time,” Milo says as he pushes us forward.
We run down the hallway, but then I bump into someone and lose my balance, falling ass first onto the floor.
BANG!
Someone right in front of me holds up a smoking gun, the frame and blond hair familiar, and when he turns his head to look at me, I almost want to burst into tears again.
I lean up on my elbows. “Nathan?”
He came here too?
He turns around and goes to his knees in front of me, wrapping his arms around me.
“You’re safe,” he mutters, burying his face in my neck. “I was so fuckin’ worried they’d already sold you. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.”
I’m momentarily too stunned to even speak.
“Where’s Felix and the rest?” Kai asks. “And what about Caleb?”
“They’re killing everyone who’s trying to block our only way out,” Nathan replies, and he returns his attention to me. “I’m sorry, Lana, I should’ve been more careful with those pictures. If I had, you wouldn’t have gotten so angry, and we could’ve kept you out of their claws.”
