AS WE LEAVE THE SIDE ENTRANCE of the building to the paved garage, Michael puts his arms out to stop us and our good humor vanishes. I hear Nate and Calvin shuffling behind us, one of them moves to the front with his gun pointed out in front of him. My heart stops.

“What’s going on?” I manage to speak. No one answers me. I can’t see anything except Michael’s back; he has his gun out too. Thomas is holding me still against the cylinder wall. They both push into me, blocking me from whatever threat is out there. It’s her. Who the fuck else could it be? Thomas is silent; his eyes are glaring ahead. I swallow hard and try to remain as calm as I can.

“Stay here.” Michael steps forward and Thomas moves to cover me as much as he possibly can. His tall masculine physique shadows my small frame.

“Stay behind me.” Thomas’ words are forceful and demanding. I nod my head against his shoulders and put my hands against his back.

Beyond his shoulder I can just barely see the car. Michael parked it in the front of the garage and she has defiled it. “He’s mine” is keyed into the side of the BMW. There’s shattered glass covering the ground that surrounds the car; all of the windows have been smashed out. The tires are flat from being slashed and she dented the door. My throat closes and I push myself against the hard wall grabbing ahold of Thomas’ waist. He’s mine. The cold hollowness returns to my stomach and all I can hear is my heartbeat.

“Find her.” Thomas yells. She’s still here, hiding somewhere, watching us. The thought makes me freeze.

My heart races as the seconds pass. No one is speaking other than an occasional “clear.” Thomas doesn’t turn around but he puts his left hand behind his back reaching for my hand. I gratefully grab his hand and he squeezes it tight.

“It’s going to be all right Baby. Just stay behind me.” His voice is calm. I swallow hard and feel the hot tears start to swell in my eyes.

“I will,” I promise him and grip onto him with my other hand.

Another car pulls up; I can only hear it. My heart stops as I think that it might be her. Thomas moves slightly taking me by my hand. Michael moves to the back passenger seat and opens the door. Thank God. He nods at Thomas and in an instant Thomas grabs me and forcefully moves me into the backseat.

“Stay down Emma.” He looks to his right and slams the door shut. I keep low in the car, unable to move. I hear the front passenger door open and see Michael get in. The backdoor on the driver side opens and Thomas quickly gets in, moving close to me. He puts arms around me, forcing me to stay down but also comforting me.

“Stay low.” His voice is quiet and demanding. He isn’t looking at me; instead, he’s looking out of the rearview window, trying to find her.
