Chapter Ten

Skye

“These numbers aren’t adding up.” I pushed the folder to Ward across the table. “See? Maybe it was a screw up in Excel but the numbers aren’t matching what I have.”

He picked it up and examined it. “Yeah, it was probably—”

A gunshot went off.

My heart kicked into overdrive and blood pounded in my ears.

Ward dropped the paper, clearly just as affected.

Our eyes met, and the fear was exchanged between us.

Who was being shot?

Then my mind went to my father. It was either him or Mike. They were the only high profile people in the building. I kicked off my heels and ran at the door. Ward was right behind me, running with me.

We came around the corner, and saw everyone under their desks.

“CLEMENTINE!” Ward ran to Clementine as another gunshot went off.

It was coming from my dad’s office.

Ward ran to Clementine, who was lying on the floor.

I didn’t have time to see what happened to her, to see if she was okay. I had to get to my dad. I sprinted as fast as I could.

Mike came out of his office at the exact same moment and he was heading for Sean’s office.

But I got there first.

“SKYE, NO!” He tried to grab me but I was too fast.

I burst into Dad’s office.

Dad was bleeding from the face and it covered his suit. Blood covered the ground in smears. He was locked in a tight embrace with a man I instantly recognized.

Zack.

A gun was in his hand and he was trying to shoot my dad. Dad kept pushing it out of the way and landing blows to his face. But he couldn’t get free.

Without thinking, I jumped into the fight and grabbed Zack by the back. I grabbed his arm and slammed it on the ground, trying to get him to drop the gun.

Dad realized I was there. “SKYE! RUN!”

I wasn’t leaving him. I slammed Zack’s hand on the ground but he wouldn’t release the gun.

Mike came in and the gun went off. It shattered the windows and made everyone duck.

I tried to kick Zack but nothing I did worked.

“Mike, get Skye!” Dad tried to pin Zack down.

“No, help my dad!” I managed to pull Zack off and we rolled together. I used the palm of my hand to smack him right in the nose. I’m pretty sure I broke it.

Dad jumped on him and tried to pull him off.

Mike helped.

Then the gun went off again. And this time it didn’t hit the window or the floor.

It hit me.

Dad got him off then looked at me with wide eyes. “NO!”

I laid still and felt the blood ooze from my shoulder.

Mike was there and put a hand to my wound.

Dad got Zack by the throat then slammed his head into the ground. Then he yanked the gun from his grasp and got to his feet. He pointed the gun directly at Zack’s face and fired.

He shot him.

Then he shot him again.

And again.

He emptied the clip then dropped the gun on the floor.
