I looked up, meeting his eyes in the rearview mirror. “Have I ever told you no?”
“No.” He turned, bringing the ambulance in view as it pulled into the hospital entrance. “I think we should call the FBI. Have them check the clothing we found to see if it matches with Lily’s DNA. I’m sorry, but I have a really bad feeling about this and I’d like to bring them in as fast as we can. If you don’t want to take that route just yet, at least allow me to make a few calls. I know someone who has a connection with a man at the FBI office here in the city. His name is Agent Gaige Sullivan. I think he could help us out. It’ll strictly be under the radar. No news crews. No big scene. We can just call him and tell him the story, accompanied with Lily’s history. Although,” he paused, “I’m betting he’s heard all about it.”
“FBI.” I nearly cringed at the bad taste it left in my mouth. But, Marcio was right. Maybe they could help. “Call your connection. Tell him to meet us here.”
Marcio nodded and pulled out his phone as he drove in and parked. I didn’t wait. I threw the door open and raced toward the ER entrance. The ambulance was still parked with the back doors opened, in the process of taking him out. I slowed at the roar that echoed from inside the space.
“Lily! Lily!”
My legs turned weak as I tried to keep them moving. The stretcher was pulled out and a pale body fought against the restraints strapping him in. Zane turned to me as they lowered him out all the way. Blood splatter stood out against his ghostly appearance, dotting his face and staining his neck. My whole world tilted as our eyes met.
“Slade, find Lily. Slade,” he yelled, beginning to cough. “Find her, please.” The last word were weak. I could see how hard he was fighting to stay conscious.
As they began wheeling him in, my body kicked into gear and I rushed to catch up. “Who took her? Who took my sister?”
All he could do was shake his head as his eyes began rolling off to the side.
“Zane! Dammit, you fucking tell me right now. Who has Lily?” I reached forward in desperation when I was cut off by a team of nurses. The paramedics began going over their report as the nurses began taking his vitals.
“Sir, you have to stay here.” Someone was pushing against my chest, but I saw nothing except the last man to see my sister before she was abducted. They were taking him further away, and with it, any information that could help.
“Fuck.” My hand blindly reached out to the wall. “Tell me this isn’t happening.” I turned, catching Marcio coming through the main doors. I rushed forward, grasping his shirt and dragging him outside. “It’s Lily. Someone has my sister. God dammit!” My shoe connected with the trashcan mounted to the cement. I punched against the metal next and I didn’t stop swinging until Marcio pulled me back. Blood ran from my numb knuckles, but I barely noticed. Flashes of Lily raging in front of me appeared and it only made me swing again. Hadn’t she seen why I’d been so protective?
“Enough. Gaige is on his way. He already called. Did Zane say anything?”
My head shook as I stared toward the entrance. “I’m going to kill whoever took her. They’ll be in pieces before it’s over with. Nobody fucks with what’s mine. No one.”
“Let’s go get your hand looked at while we wait.”
“It’s fine,” I ground out.
“It’ll give us something to do. Come on, boss.”
Like a zombie, I let Marcio lead me inside. My mind went over every possibility of who could be responsible. Even through the paper work and admitting, I never stopped plotting revenge. Someone was going to pay and I wasn’t going to stop until they did.
Chapter 10
Zain
A blur of colors swirled above me and somewhere within, I knew doctors were working to keep me alive, but all I could focus on was my slave’s face. Her smile beamed above as she leaned down, running her fingers over the stubble on my cheek. It was the moment I knew my heart was hers. We’d just finished making love and I was surprised she was still awake from the punishment I’d put her through. Marks from the spanking and where I’d sucked against her skin marred random places, and exhaustion showed on her face, but that smile and affection…I soaked it in like the starving man I was.
“What was your life like before you got taken?” I tucked a lock of hair behind her ear while she twisted her mouth.
“Lots of school, shopping, the typical college girl stuff.”
“School.” My attention piqued. At twenty-seven, I’d never attended a real college. All my education was done by private teachers that came to my father’s home. “What were you studying?”
She laughed and shrugged. “Nothing too exciting. Just business stuff. My brother owns a really big company. I’m going to work for him when I finish school.” A frown took over her smile. “I was.” Tears appeared and I pulled her to lay down on my chest while I stroked her hair.
“I’m sorry your life has taken a different path. I’ve come to see they often veer from what we expect.”
“No.” She pushed off of me to sit. “I’m going back. I won’t be here forever. Slade will find me. He will. You don’t know my brother.”
“I don’t, but I know my father and his connections. You won’t be going home, Lily. Your life is here now.”
Dark hair spun around her nude body as she turned to get off the bed. My arm wrapped around her waist and I pulled her back, making her lie down again.
“Is it so very bad here with me?” I used the pad of my thumb to wipe the tears from her cheek. “I take care of you, don’t I?”
