She twisted around to Navarro. “Call the doctor!”

“He won’t come out in this weather. Not even for you.”

She had no idea what that meant.

Jax came back out of the room and shook his head. “Window’s open, and she’s gone.” He dropped a stack of towels into her lap.

She pressed one against Stairns’ gut.Not good.“We need a car, Navarro. Preston justtookher, and we need to know what vehicle he’s in and where he took her.”

A red haze had settled over her vision. She was rambling. Navarro didn’t care about her, or her friends, or what she wanted.

Thank You, God.

She could find Maizie no matter what.

Jax walked toward him, gun raised pointed at the cartel leader. “Order your men to get us a vehicle. We’re getting our friend to the hospital before he bleeds to death.”

Navarro made a call and spoke in Spanish.

Navarro stiffened. Spoke again. Then to Jax he said, “The sheriff killed two men on his way out. He’s gone. But Kart just arrived.”

“I want a description of the car Elliot Preston is driving.”

Headlights flashed across the open door, reflecting off the tile floor. Kenna stiffened, expecting Kart to walk in.

A shadow darkened the doorway.

Kenna braced.

ChapterTwenty-Nine

Ian Kartom stepped into the doorway, a desperate and dark look on his face.

Where did Elliot take Maizie?Kenna wondered. From what Navarro had said, they weren’t even on the ranch property anymore. Stairns was about to bleed out.

Ian took a step.
