“We need to be prepared for whatever comes in there, Pet. You prepared for that?” London glanced my way.
“It’ll be no different than what’s out here,” I answered, staring at that open door and the hell that waited for us inside. “We need to get in that building, London. We haven’t come this far…to just come this far.”
“That we haven’t, Pet, that we haven’t.” He took a step, nodding to the twins.
Carven and Colt pushed forward, and we headed for that gaping wound, desperate to carve this cancer out for good this time. The hinges howled as Colt pushed the door open. He slipped inside, followed by his brother, then London allowed me to push in behind him.
“Vivienne, take my hand, baby.” London’s deep rumble came before a brush at my arm.
I grasped his hand and stepped inside, following the familiar thud of boots. It was a tunnel. The same tunnel Carven had told us about? It had to be. But all the way out here? The tunnel must’ve taken…forever to build.
Rage seethed inside me. I gripped London’s hand and my gun and pushed forward.
“There’s more coming.” Carven murmured.
“Behind me, Pet.”
I stepped behind London, releasing his hand to find my weapon as we moved deeper into the darkness, until we came to another door. It was too easy. It felt…too damn easy.
“London.”
He kept walking.
“London.”
He stopped as Carven reached out and grabbed the door.
“It’s too easy.”
From beside each door, they came, two Sons moving fast. The slash of a knife was instant. Carven gave a grunt before he unleashed a snarl and drove one shadowed bastard back against the wall. Colt grabbed the other and slammed him backwards. The BOOM of gunfire was deafening, making me scream out. Colt’s roar followed, the bellow half man and half…beast.
I couldn’t keep up with them. They spun, slammed, and fists flew, but from whom I didn’t know. I lifted my gun and took aim, until London grabbed my hand and pushed it down. “No.”
Grunts and fists, and the desperate grappling for life were all I saw and heard, hating how fucking useless I felt, until someone groaned “No”, and fell.
My world stopped as my eyes widened. I stared into that darkness, stared until they blurred into one and another body dropped to the floor.
Crunch.
The third body dropped.
My eyes adjusted to the gloom and found the silhouette of Colt as he sucked in hard breaths and turned toward me. The whites of his eyes were all I saw, glistening in the dark.
“Baby,” Carven called my name and took a step toward me. “You okay?”
In a rush, my word started again. My pulse raced and my breaths were panting. It was all I could do not to pass the fuck out.
“We’re okay.” Carven took a step toward me. “Look at me. We’re okay. We have to keep going.”
I gave a nod and moved when he turned, pulled open the door, and stepped inside. For a moment, it was even darker, pitch black. Still, we kept walking, shuffling until a weird pulsing light slowly brightened the hallway, growing brighter the deeper we moved. I glanced at London and found him scowling. We relied on the twins, following them. Carven was ahead, sweeping his gun around corners as we moved deeper until we came to a cracked open door where that pulsing light came from.
For a second, I froze. I didn’t want to go in there, didn’t want to see what hell waited. But it was Colt who pushed the door wider and stepped inside.
“Colt,” London warned.
The Son stopped, glancing over his shoulder but it was me he spoke to. “I can feel them.”
Feel them?
