I packed up the tools, shoved them into the drawer, and left Beacon Bay.

Chapter Fourteen

MARCELLO

Strong arms wrapped around me, lifting my lifeless body from the stone floor. My eyelids fluttered and snapped open. White light poked through a hole in the cave the size of a crater, revealing the terrain outside.

Am I dreaming?

Dead?

I blinked a few times.

My arms and legs were useless, so heavy I couldn’t stand on my own. A man laid my head on his shoulder and tightened his grip around my middle.

“I got you, brother.” He patted my back. “It’s going to be okay.”

“Cole?” I croaked.

My voice was raw from dehydration.

“Yeah, Marcello. It’s me.”

After the Frenchman killed Tate, he took turns with Drake and me. They moved on to me whenever Drake couldn’t take anymore and blacked out. My jaw felt broken. Every bone and muscle in my body ached. I couldn’t see clearly out of my eyes. The lids drooped, making it hard to focus.

With another man’s help, Cole lifted me through the hole in the cave. A member of Alpha Command waited on the other side. He took me from Cole’s arms and put me on a stretcher.

Staring up at the sky, I let out a relieved breath.

I made it.

By some miracle, I survived the lack of oxygen, water, and all the torture. An angel must have been sitting on my shoulder. There was no logical reason for why I made it out alive.

“Drake,” I whispered as they rolled me across the bumpy terrain toward a medical transport van. “Did he make it?”

“Yes,” the man said.

Thank God.

He pushed the stretcher up a ramp and into the mobile medical unit. Two men dressed in scrubs hooked me up to an IV line and pumped something into my veins.

“You’re going to be just fine, Marcello,” the man said. “We’re going to take good care of you.”

That was all I remembered before I passed out.
