HART

The charred scent of smoke clung to my clothes as I glared at Henry, his unwavering eyes staring right back. He looked completely unrepentant for what he’d done, and I’d yet to figure out if I was pissed at him for it, or rather impressed. I was going on four days with little more than sporadic naps, my body both wired with adrenaline and a burning need for Beauty, but also beginning to feel heavy and lethargic in the limbs. I needed sleep, good sleep, but there would be none until Beauty was there by my side. Her warmth curled into my naked flesh. After this fucking debacle, I’d sleep with my limbs twisted around hers to keep her from leaving the bed without me knowing. I’d never let her out of my sight again.

Finally my gaze moved from Henry to the woman sitting beside him. Her hands were tied in front of her body, a swatch of fabric stuffed between her lips and thick masking tape wrapped around her head, holding it in place. Abigail Kleeman was older than she looked in her pictures online, or perhaps she was simply having a bad day. I was betting for the latter. At fifty-two years of age, in all the pictures I’d seen, she never so much as had a hair out of place. Very prim and completely proper. Right now she was a disheveled mess. Her hair was knotted and teased in every direction, and there was not a spec of makeup to be found, her gym attire suggesting Henry nabbed her when she was least expecting company. If her wide, fear-filled gaze hadn’t given away her terror, her trembling body would have. I didn’t have time for a hostage, but we also didn’t have time to fumble about like clueless twats as we tried to find our next lead on Beauty. No matter how I felt about Henry kidnapping her, she was here now, so I guessed I should make the most of it.

“Remove the gag,” I ordered nobody in particular.

Henry moved quickly, using a knife to cut the masking tape free, then he ripped it out of her hair and away from her face, no doubt taking a layer of epidermis with the tape. Abigail shrieked, but remained frozen on the spot, like a deer confronted by a predator for the very first time. I’d bet she’d never been in a quandary quite like this before. If I was in fact her first, I swore to make it memorable.

“I’m not the type of man to enjoy small talk, so I’m going to cut right to the chase. Where might I find your husband, hmmm?”

Abigail’s frightened eyes darted between me, Henry and the men at my back. Beseeching and hopeful. She wouldn’t find what she was looking for in this room. Poor simple fool.

“They can’t help you, and they could care less that you are female, we are all for equality here.”

Nobody said a thing or made a sound as Abigail returned her attention to me.
