“The kid who called me?” Dean asks.
“That’s my son,” Tasha says proudly.
“Yer not going without us.” Blair appears with a determined look on her face.
“You’ve done enough. Please stay here with the girls. I need to know they are safe so I can focus on bringing their father home.”
“I hate it, and Callum is going to be pissed.”
“Next time, Demon. We can’t take you out there clipped,” Val says.
“Fine. Be careful,” she says and pulls me into a hug.
“Okay, Bellas. Let’s move out,” Val says.
Val and Tasha lead the way as Sim, Roni, Dean, Annabella, and I follow. Pam is behind the wheel as we get to the SUV. Sim hops into the front seat and punches in an address as the rest of us load in.
Seeing it’s going to be a tight fit, Val tosses Roni the keys to one of the other SUVs, and I follow them and Tasha to climb into that vehicle. Kate and Connie come running out at the last minute.
“Ya didn’t think ya were going to do this without us, did ya?” Connie asks as she hops in.
“Not a chance,” Val says.

We pull up not far from the location Sammy gave to the ladies. Apparently, one of his sisters sees numbers. She then gives them to Sammy and he sees what they mean and how to use them.
That’s how he knew what numbers to call. The kid is amazing. There’s no telling what he will be capable of when he’s older.
We all climb out of the SUV and round to the one Pam and the others are in. Pam pops the boot and there are vests, comms, and firepower waiting for us.
We all suit up and get ready. I fear what we will find when we get inside. I try to push that out of my mind so we can get in there and get to my man.
“Val, you’re with me. Sim, you head in with DJ, Sammy is going to lead you to where they’re holding Brooklyn. We’ll cover you and push in to get you out.
“Connie, Kate, Roni, you do the same from the south side. Annabella will be here as our medic. Pam, you stay with Annabella and cover her just in case.”
“Right, stay in the car so my husband doesn’t kill us all,” Pam says.
“You’re as important as the rest of us,” Tasha says.
“We all get out untouched. Do as we were trained, ladies. This is what we were built for,” Val says.
“Okay, let’s go,” I say and take off.
Sim is right beside me. I take out two guys as I move forward for the entrance. Sim puts down another two.
“He’s on the first level. A large space toward the back of the building. Hurry, you have to be quick. She hasn’t made a decision,” Sammy says into the comm.
I’m not sure what he’s talking about, but I nod and wave for Sim to move with me. I tuck my gun and move to take out the guy ahead of us. Not having a lot of time, I take him out at the knees then snap his neck.
I then pull my gun again and jog toward the back. A door comes into view with two guys guarding it. Sim takes them both down before I can do it myself.
“Time is running out,” Sammy says.
“Tasha, Val, what have you done?” Logan’s heated voice comes through the comm. “Stand down. We’re on the way.”
“It’s too late, we’re here,” I say.
“You enter, I will stand guard here,” Sim says.
I nod and push into the room behind the door, wanting to groan when I see it’s not a room but another wide-open space with crates and cargo everywhere. However, I do see Cole bound to a chair in the distance, his back to me.
I growl when I see a guy standing before him as if he’s been beating him. I move behind one of the large crates before I’m spotted. Inhaling deeply, I then peek out to see if I have a shot.
I’m frustrated when I can’t find a clear shot. I look up to see if I have any other options. Not seeing any, I decide to get closer. Good thing I do, as more guys come into view.
There are five in all. The one standing in front of Cole and four others. I also note there are two other entrances to the space that I can now see.
“Make the call. Get Deja here and ya can get on with yer life,” the guy snarls and punches Cole in the face.
Cole sits unfazed, with a grin on his lips and his head held high. Something about the guy’s voice tickles my brain, but I lose that thought as I get around the crates and Cole’s face comes into view.
“Ya do know when I get free, I’m going to kill ya, right?” Cole taunts and laughs.
