“Move!”Finley roared, and slapped his own down, watching as the light changed from red to green and the locks disengaged.

I was charging through the foyer in an instant. Fuck waiting for the elevator. I wrenched open the stairwell door, hearing a faint scream from above echo through the hollow space.

That was Kat…THAT WAS KAT!

A bestial sound ripped from me, swallowing the muffled sound of her cries. I was lunging, driving my body two and three steps at a time up the first flight…then the next, and the next. My thighs were howling with the strain, muscles rippling and trembling, but still I gripped the railing and lunged.

Not caring about the pain.

Floor by floor.

I fought to get to her.

A scream came once more, piercing…shrill.I slammed through the stairwell door and into the hallway, sucking in hard breaths, my lungs on fire. “Kat,” I croaked as I stumbled forward.

My body was trembling, shuddering, and jerking as another scream rang out…but it wasn’t Kat’s.

“I’m going to fucking kill you, you goddamn bitch!”

“The fuck you are,” I growled, and slammed my hand against the door handle.

The door swung open and I was inside, lowering my head, charging forward. He was all I saw…all I wanted to see.The bastard had his hand around Kat’s throat, her head hanging back, her eyes wide,distant…just like Taken’s. I hit him hard, driving my fist into his side, forcing him to buckle sideways and release his hold.

Kat hit the floor with athud.I wanted to look at her, wanted to search her tear-stained face. Ineededto know she was okay. But I didn’t. I shoved the motherfucker backwards. Only then did I see he also had hold of Anna’s hair.

“Anna!” Finley roared behind me.

“What the fuck did you give her?” Anna yelled.

Ice plunged through my veins.

“He gave her something.,” Anna groaned, grasping Kat and pulling her close. “Drugged her…raped her.”

I jerked my gaze to hers. “What?”

Anna’s eyes said all I needed to know. I found that motherfucker and lunged, grasping him by the shirt. “What the fuck did you give her?”

“Just a little E,” he screamed.“That’s ALL!”

“You gave her fucking E?” All I could see was the pain in her eyes. “You gave her fucking E and raped her?”

“He’s been doing it for days!”Anna yelled, her own rage bleeding into the room. “Leaving bruises…I saw them.”

Kat just drew her legs up tight and curled into a ball. “It doesn’t matter.” Those words hit me harder than any fist. “It’s what they all do.”

“The…fuck…they…do.” Hate spilled through me, hate foranyfucking man who took what wasn’t theirs to begin with. I couldn’t stop myself, couldn’t stop her words in my head…until I lashed out my fist and it connected with his face.

Crunch.

Then her words stopped.

For a second at least.

Thud.

Thud.

Thud. Thud. Thud.
