Derek and Levi swapped glances.
“He’s currently a guest of the McKenzies,” Derek murmured.
“Make him scream,” Madisen hissed.
“Jesus, you and your cousins are bloodthirsty bitches,” Derek muttered, and Levi released a genuine laugh.
“Something I better keep in mind,” Levi said dryly, and Madisen’s fingers twitched.
“I have a plane to catch, Madisen. Taking Daithi with me, but Declan, Dai and Davin are sticking around for you and Dane,” Derek announced, looking rueful.
“I am glad Dane and Riley are gonna be okay,” Madisen replied.
“I’m happy all three of you are going to be fine. Nothing means more to a McKenzie than family, Madisen; remember that,” Derek stated softly as he rose to his feet and dropped a kiss on her forehead. He nodded to Levi and left.
“Should I be worried?” Madisen asked Levi.
He frowned.
“My brothers,” Madisen explained, and Levi grinned.
“I believe Davin… he’s the second eldest?” At Madisen’s nod, Levi continued, “He discovered Brandy can’t be pushed around. There were guns involved, and Davin ended up in a headlock with Brandy choking him out.”
Madisen’s laugh echoed through the room before she winced and clutched her ribs. Levi reached over and hit the button that released pain relief.
“Levi!” Madisen scolded, and Levi revelled in her tone.
“Ain’t having my lady love in pain,” Levi said. His hand stroked her thigh.
“I’m fine,” Madisen argued.
“Yeah, you will be when the meds kick in,” Levi replied smugly. He loved the way she sent him a sideways look through her eyelashes. His woman had spirit, even after being kidnapped and tortured.
There was a knock at the door, and Lio entered. He looked relieved upon seeing Madisen.
“Thought you’d be here sooner,” Madisen chirped.
Lio raised an eyebrow and gazed at Levi.
“Strong pain relief, I think it is hitting her,” Levi explained.
“Ah, right. Well, I can’t take your statement now, but based on what we’ve found, it’s probably a moot point. Even so, I want to cross my Ts and dot my Is.”
“What do you mean?” Madisen demanded.
“It looks like Millar was the one who kidnapped you. It seems his men turned on each other, and there was a shootout. Millar clearly fled when he heard what was happening, leaving you behind. It was lucky Hellfire found you because who knows how long you’d have been there,” Lio said.
Levi held back a laugh. That was the story the cops were going with. Lio had a twinkle in his eye, which faded.
“Lio?” Levi asked.
“Sadly, in the basement next to you, which Hellfire called in, was another room.”
Madisen paled so quickly Levi shot up.
“I’m okay. I found it too,” Madisen whispered.
Levi closed his eyes. That was what he hadn’t wanted to happen. Those images would give him nightmares, let alone someone like Madisen.
