He pulled back, trying again, and the entire car shuddered with each blow.
Missy, go! Run!Grace’s voice was ringing in my ears.
Maybe I couldn’t fight these assholes, but I could get to someone who could. My fingers tingled as I reached out and wrapped them around the gear change, clutching it as tightly as I could.
“No you don’t!” A body dived in through the open passenger door, it was another man with his face covered, but his lip curled up in an angry sneer. “You’re not going anywhere,” he hissed, unclicking my safety belt with one hand before reaching for me.
I shoved him away, though it was hard to put any kind of force behind it when my brain still felt like it was trying to explode out of my skull. My feeble attempt to fight back failed to deter him, he simply brushed my hand away before backhanding me across the face.
It stunned me for a moment, allowing him to grab a fistful of my hair and drag me toward him as he backed out.
No.
I needed to get to Hawk.
That was the only way to rescue Grace.
My hand shot out, blindly searching for some way to defend myself as he tried to pull me headfirst from the car. When I felt his face, I started clawing, digging at his exposed skin with my nails, my thumb finally finding the corner of his eye.
I dug it in hard, the move doing the trick, and his grip loosened as he let out a roar of agony.
Seconds.
I had seconds.
Ignoring the blood now smeared across my hand, I once again reached for the gear change, this time managing to throw it into reverse and slam my foot hard on the accelerator, not even bothering to look behind me.
Two men chased me down the street, and I quickly slammed on the brakes. The passenger door slammed shut while my body once again lurched to a hard stop, this time with no safety belt on to protect me from being thrown around like a crash test dummy.
Get to Hawk.
I switched the car into drive just as a hand reached through the broken window, fingers grazing my arm but disappearing instantly as I took off down the street. It felt like I was in some kind of video game, people and buildings all shooting by in a blur. The light at the intersection was red again, but there was no way in hell I was stopping this time. Instead, I pressed my foot harder to the gas, my poor little car coughing as it the revs shot up. I barely missed several cars coming the other way, more horns blared, and people screamed as I swerved hard around the truck that was still sitting at the lights, not a single sign of damage on the front of the hulking beast.
I knew that the adrenaline was the only thing keeping me from passing out at the wheel.
“The clubhouse is just a few blocks away,” I whispered to myself, my hands gripping the wheel as though that was my lifeline.
Not just my lifeline.
Grace’s lifeline.
Her babies’ lifeline.
“Just a few blocks. Don’t pass out. Just a few blocks.”
Just a few blocks.
Don’t pass out.
Get to Hawk.
HAWK
“Turn her over,” Scoop called, and Chase twisted the key. I stood back, holding my breath as the motor rumbled to life. “Yes! It’s alive.”
Chase leaped out of the driver’s seat with a wide grin and met Scoop and me at the front.
“Sexiest thing I have ever seen,” the kid said in awe.
