Chapter Fifteen
Mason
That plane ridewas the longest ride I had ever been on. I couldn’t stop moving the entire time. My hands fidgeted as my legs bounced. It felt like my whole body was vibrating, like every hair on my body was charged with electricity. I couldn’t do anything but wait. Wait and pray that she was okay. Pray that I would get the chance to end him like I had been wanting to do since Lennox walked back into my life.
Dane leaned over Alissa to look at me. “So what’s the plan?”
“What plan?” I didn’t want to talk. I didn’t want a plan. I wanted Lennox, safe in my arms.
“We have to have a plan, man. We can’t just walk up in there and demand that he hand her over. What if he has bodyguards? How are we going to get past the door man?”
“Leave the door man to me,” Alissa said, speaking for the first time since we had gotten on the plane.
“You think you can distract the door man long enough for me and Mason to get in?”
She nodded. “If it’s the door man that I’m hoping it is, then yes.”
Dane’s eyebrows rose. “Did you fuck this guy?”
“Come on, man. We don’t have time for your insecurities right now.”
“Okay, listen.” Alissa sat up straight. “I will walk ahead of you guys. I will distract the door man and you two sneak past. Chris lives on the top floor. There are two apartments up there, the elevator opens into a hallway. When you get off the elevator, go left. You will see his door. But the bigger question is, how are you going to get inside?” Her eyes flashed back and forth between the two of us.
“Walk right in,” Dane said.
“I’ve seen him have a guard posted at his door before and unless he is wanting you to come in, you may want to prepare for that.”
Dane and I sat back, thinking over our options. It wasn’t like we had any weapons, we were on a fucking plane.
When the plane landed, I didn’t wait for a seatbelt signal. I pulled off my seatbelt and stood as soon as I felt the plane stop.
Just when the flight attendant was about to yell at me, the sign lit up. I ran from the plane with Dane and Alissa on my heels.
We jumped into a cab just outside the airport doors and Alissa rattled off an address.
“Okay, guys. It’s the moment of truth.” Alissa looked from Dane to me and back.
“I don’t know. I can’t think like this.” I ran my hand through my hair. “I don’t care what he has planned for me. I’ll take him and you get Lennox somewhere safe,” I told Dane.
He gave me a quick nod.
When the cabstopped outside of a large building, my heart started slamming against my chest. I was so close, I could feel her.
Dane tossed some cash to the driver before sliding out of the car.
Alissa set her plan in motion.
Dane and I stayed at the side of the building, peeking around the corner. I watched as Alissa approached the doorman. She leaned in, grabbing his arm, and pointed down the road like she was asking directions. The man stepped away from his post and looked the way she was pointing. Dane and I were almost to the door when someone walked out. I took the opportunity and grabbed the door before it closed.
I couldn’t believe it. We were in the building.
We didn’t stop to think about it, we just walked as quickly as possible to the elevator.
It felt like the elevator wouldn’t ever stop. The space was so small and quiet, you could hear our labored breathing.
The elevator dinged before the doors opened. Dane and I looked at each other. “Are you ready for this?” he asked.
I nodded. “Let’s do it.” I stepped off the elevator and turned left. To my surprise, there was no guard. What Alissa said started to worry me, was he expecting me?
