No shit.
I glanced behind us to where Vivienne and her men stared at us with wide eyes, until in the distance…the thunder of footsteps sounded, growing louder.
“Riven,” I murmured, swinging my gaze toward the rumble.
“Easy, baby.” He took a step to place himself in front of me. “Easy.”
The army of men that had come with us urged us forward, gathering speed.
“With us, Helene.” Hunter pushed forward, raising his weapon.
I took a step, desperate to be ahead of Vivienne. “Go.” I lifted my weapon, moving ahead. “Go.”
We surged forward, our pace picking up as the crack of gunfire came, and as we charged through the trees toward that goddamn warehouse, I finally saw what we were up against.
There was an army.
A whole fucking army.
They stood around the shimmering thing. Sunlight bounced off the walls, blinding me. I blinked into the glare as Hunter squeezed off a shot, crack, then swung the muzzle, firing again.
Kane was next, then Riven, and the deafening sound of gunfire filled my ears. Hale’s men were everywhere. Men dressed in leather cuts, others dirty and sweaty. They were nothing but bullet catchers.
I raised my gun, my finger squeezing the trigger until the gun kicked in my hand. In an instant, it all came back to me. The rush. The fight. The collision of all I was and all I had been. I unleashed a roar. Hunter jerked a look at me over his shoulder. Pride and love burned in his stare as he turned back.
Our men collided with Hale’s men with a deafening THUD. Hunter lunged, slamming into a big-ass biker. Fists and rage were all I saw. I swung my gun, squeezing off a shot as another biker came for those I loved. Behind us, London roared. But I couldn’t look back at him. I couldn’t risk taking my eyes off those in front of me.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
Every hard step was a blow, tearing through my ankles and into my knees. I kept up with Hunter and Riven, veering left along the mammoth shimmering monstrosity this thing was. It wasn’t a warehouse. It was a goddamn spaceship buried in the ground.
There’s a door. In the northeast side of the warehouse that’s not far from the private airfield. The door is small, you’d miss it really, trying to break down the main doors.
The door. My steps faltered, skidding hard.
“What is it?” Kane, slowed meeting my gaze.
I sucked in hard breaths, scanning the glimmering walls as each angle caught the sun. No wonder we couldn’t see it from above. But we saw it now. We saw it and wanted to burn it to the ground. “The door…there’s a door.” I scanned the walls, desperate to find any kind of entrance, and kept running. “There’s a small door, we need to find it.”
“A door?” Kane jerked a panicked gaze my way, then jerked his gun up and squeezed off a shot, hitting a guy in the center of the chest. “What goddamn door?”
I stopped, scanning the wall, searching for any way inside, but there was none. There was no fucking door. I lunged, driving past Riven and Hunter as they took aim and fired.
“Helene!” Riven barked. “HELENE!”
I couldn’t wait, my mind raced as I made for the corner of the building, desperate to find a way inside.
“Goddamnit!” Riven roared.
The heavy thunder of my heart was deafening. I scanned the wall in front of me, then turned back…it was only then that I caught the gap in the mirrored wall. It was larger than the others, drawing my focus like a star in the sky that shone brighter.
“Helene!” Riven grunted. Bang! “We have to go now.”
We have to go.
