Naomi's eyes are full of fear when she is forced out the door, and my heart cracks.

Focus and get out of this situation.

I'm going to kill him.

"You mess with our business?" A greasy man with long hair and a gold tooth holds the gun to my head.

I don't respond.

The second man has slicked-back black hair. It looks like he ran a comb through it after putting on gel. He comes closer and peers at me. The stench of his stale breath fills my airways. "Do you know what we do to people who take our things?" He cracks his knuckles and arches a brow.

The sound of a car starting fills my ears and rage builds in me.

He's leaving with her.

Stay calm.

It's not the first time I've had a gun to my head. And today isn't the day for it to be the last.

Darien took my woman.

I'm going to kill him.

And these bastards, too.

"You killed our guys?" the man says.

Killed his...?

He's part of Gómez's crew.

Darien's involved with the Colombian cartel and not the Belizean one?

"What's wrong? Your tongue not working? Maybe we should make sure it never does again." He pulls out a pocketknife and presses the cold blade to my cheek.

The men speak in Spanish, and I vow after this is over, I'm learning it. I don't know a word of what they're saying.

Time to make your move.

They're mid-sentence when two quick bangs fill the air and blood splatters on my face. Both of them drop to the floor next to me.

I turn in stunned silence. Dirk is in the doorway with his gun drawn. "Sorry to get blood on your face."

I let out a sigh of relief. "I gotta go. He took Naomi."

"Who?"

"Her ex, who's involved with the Colombian cartel."

Dirk raises his eyebrows.

Zoe walks in, looks wide-eyed at the dead bodies and my face, and swallows hard.

"Crap. Zoe, I told you to stay outside," Dirk says.

She turns green, and I point to the bathroom.

Zoe runs to it with her hand covering her mouth.

"That woman does not listen." Dirk grabs a blanket off the couch. "Wipe your face before you go."

I take it and do as he says.

"Besides having a gun to your head, you okay?"

"Yes. Tell Tinker I'll come back for the passports. Bermuda is the destination."

"Got it."

"Sorry to leave you with cleanup duty."

Dirk smirks. "You owe me."

"Big-time, bro." I sling my backpack over my shoulder and fist bump him on the way out. I open the garage, hotwire the car again, and take off.

Please be in Tela.

It's the only place he would go. He wants his drug stash.

I drive as fast as I can to Tela. It gets dark out. I'm just getting to town when I see Darien get out of an SUV and open the passenger side.

Naomi gets out and Darien puts his arm around her.

He's a dead man walking.

My heart beats faster, but I hold myself back from getting out of the car and going after him in the lobby.

Instead, I stay outside, watching them check in through the glass and quickly enter the lobby once they step into the elevator.
