“Where is he?” Zoe whispers next to me, and I do another fucking scan of the clearing we’re in.
“Where’s Gunner?” I call out, my men surrounding us.
Everyone falls still, glancing around in confusion, but the way my brothers look around cluelessly, it’s clear there’s no sign of him.
FUCK!
He’s not fucking here. How the fuck did he get away?
“Roll call!” I bellow, hearing my brothers make themselves known, my shoulders relaxing when they are all accounted for. That’s a good sign. No casualties.
“Cunts, your turn!” Zoe’s voice is strong as she demands the attention of the women.
Sobs fill the air as each Cunt confirms their presence, and I count them off on my fingers making sure they are all here, but we are one short.
Zoe’s terrified blue gaze darts to me, coming to the same conclusion.
“Shit. Izzy,” she whispers before turning to the group. “Izzy!”
A piercing scream floats to us from the treeline then, and all eyes shoot in that direction to see the dark figure of Gunner dragging Izzy away from us.
“No!” Zoe screams, before she starts bolting in that direction.
Fuck.
I take chase, turning to Stretch and Tex over my shoulder.
“Get Rusty and Irina in the truck and make sure they are secure!”
I don’t look back to see if they heard me. There’s no fucking time with how fast Zoe is running toward fucking danger.
I hear the heavy boots of some of my brothers behind me as I reach Zoe’s side, running with her even though I really want to drag her in the other direction.
She needs this just as much as the rest of us.
Right as we lurch through the treeline, bullets spray in our direction, and I grab Zoe’s wrist, dragging her to the ground behind a fallen tree stump.
My men follow, skidding in the dirt with us, ducking in case more bullets come our way.
“Where the fuck is he?” Slasher hisses, appearing on Zoe’s other side.
“I can’t see where the shots came from.” Munroe pants from behind us.
Izzy’s scream echoes through the trees, closer this time, followed by Gunner’s voice.
“You’re the reason people keep dying, Sugar!”
Zoe stiffens at the sound of his voice and the words that I’m sure she’s already using to blame herself with.
Slowly, I move to peer up over the log, not able to see where the motherfucker is.
“Here’s another to add to your count, Sugar!” Gunner bellows and this time, the sound of his voice shows me where he stands up on the ridge with Izzy, right before her cries turn to gargles as he slashes his blade across her throat.
“No!” Zoe screams, leaping up as I do and together, we tear over the log, racing toward Izzy’s crumpled body.
Gunfire sounds around us as my brothers shoot in the direction Gunner was, but it’s no use. He’s no longer there.
Reaching Izzy, I remain standing, my gun trained in the direction Gunner went as Zoe falls to the ground, trying desperately to stop the rushing blood coming from Izzy’s neck, but it’s too late. She’s already gone.
