“Hey, sweetheart. I’m coming to get you. Have they hurt you?”

“No,” she replied softly.

“Okay, I swear I will be there soon. Do you feel okay?” I closed my eyes tightly as I asked it. Fucking hell, what would this kind of trauma do to her heart?

“I feel fine,” she assured me.

“Good. You’re doing good. Trust me and don’t get upset.”

“Be safe.” The worry in her tone was killing me.

“I’ll be fine. It’s the fuckers who have you that need to be worried.”

She stayed silent.

“Give the asshole the phone back.”

“Which one?” Her question was so sincere that I would have laughed if I wasn’t so damn livid that someone had her.

“The man.”

“AJ?”

She had said his name on purpose. Good girl. It was the bastard Saxon had been worried about. Next fucking time he had a bad feeling about something, I was taking it seriously.

“Yes.”

The man’s voice came over the phone again.

“Call back in five minutes,” I told him, then ended the call.

“Gina has Aspen?” Huck asked for confirmation.

I started for the underground. “She wants freedom from Blaise’s threat, and she wants time alone with me.”

“She thinks you won’t kill her,” Huck said, falling in step behind me.

“She’s wrong.”

I hurried down the stairs, then down the tunnel to the room the others were in with the Vagos shit. Huck was right behind me. Blaise was wiping blood from his knife when I walked in. He lifted his gaze to us and frowned.

“Where’s Sax?” he asked.

I shook my head. “Not here yet. Gina had a man named AJ take Aspen from the hospital. She has her and won’t give me her location unless you tell her over the phone that she is free to move back to town and doesn’t have to hide from sight.”

“Oh, damn,” Gage drawled.

Blaise scowled. “Fucking bitch,” he snarled, and then he shot Huck a scowl. “See, you should have fucking killed her.”

“Maddy didn’t want her killed,” Huck reminded him.

Blaise waved his knife at me. “Because she felt bad for her. Gina was in love with Levi and gave her pity story to Maddy, who is softhearted. But you felt bad for her too.”

“She’s calling back in a few minutes,” I told Blaise, not wanting to rehash this shit about Gina.

“Gina thinks me telling her she has freedom will mean anything when you’re gonna kill her?”

“I don’t think she believes that, and considering that she has Aspen, I am not telling her she’s dead. I want Aspen unharmed.”
