“Went to shit, very quickly, very messily, and is the reason Istillstruggle to look at fucking kiwis.”
“The fruit or the people?” Reynolds investigates around confirming orders.
“Both.”
“He’s…being…dramatic,” Blu brushes off to answer his now ringing phone. “Blumel.”
“You have a situation,” Wiz’s voice unexpectedly bleeds through the speakers. “Songbird had a capture listing posted and picked up yesterday.”
There’s no disregarding the sinking sensation in the pit of my stomach. “Details?”
“It says she’s in a cage.”
Cage?!
What could cage be code for?
The second it hits me bile threatens to burn up the back of my throat.
Shit.
Her office!
“There was a location for a dead drop to receive a key about one a.m. this morning.” Faint clicks can be heard encouraging us to pick up the pace. “Note says the little birdie can be delivered singing or fed. Fed is preferred.”
Decoding the message doesn’t take more than a few seconds.
Alive or dead.

“Move! Move! Move!” I shout, darting up to the main floor, heading for the front door. Running for the SUV a couple blocks down the road and dialing HE main security at the same time isn’t ideal but it’s the only choice I have. Repeatedly receiving no answer not only convinces me to push myself faster, it has me damn near peeling away before my teammates are even in the vehicle. Trying Yi directly is followed by attempting to reach her and when there’s still no open line of communication, I slam on my accelerator, racing against an unknown clock.
I can get there in time.
I can get there before something happens to her.
Ican’tlet anything happen to her.
There has to be something that can be done.
Right now.
Fuck, why doesn’t she have a weapon in her desk drawer?!
She should!
That should be fucking policy going forward!
At least a stun gun!
Something so she isn’t just a helpless, sitting duck.
The poor choice of words has me taking the corner a little rougher than intended.
