“Good.” I pull her against my chest again and wrap my arms around her. Such a fragile little thing. She’d be crushed out there.
“Kirill…”
“Yes, Ptichka.” I’m not ready to let her go yet, so I don’t.
“There is something I need to tell you,” she whispers.
“Yes?” I’m finally breathing easy again. Now that the rage has subsided, relief has taken its place. I’m feeling a sense of peace that’s almost overwhelming.

“You can tell me anything, Ptichka.”

“What the fuck, Dima! You just barge in?”
“Boss… we found her!” He takes a step into the room. I glare at him over the top of Tiana’s head.
“What are you talking about, mudak? She’s right here with me.”

I start to get a sinking sensation in my gut. Dima continues to stare at me with eyes that speak more than a thousand words, telling me something I’d rather not face right now.
The realisation hits me like a lightning bolt.
They found her.
Vyronov, you are fucked.

I immediately snap my mouth shut as Dima storms into the room, not bothering to close the door behind him.
What’s his deal? This place is starting to feel like a freaking train station. And who is he talking about?
They found her?
Who?
